BA DOHC 8 - PARTS
This past week I received the last of the needed factory parts for the DOHC install. BA Electronic Throttle Pedal  BA Intake Piping and Airbox Lid. I have the Airbox base too.  I can now start on stripping the wiring down to the required minimum. There are a couple of other projects on the boil as well. More details and pics soon. Cheers BenJ

BARGAINS I COULD NOT RESIST
It is not a surprise that I a bit of a sucker for a bargain buy, and I think I did quite well with these. BA Fairmont Seats   I scored these plus the door trims, plastics and parcel tray for $80 off ebay. Had a little drive to north of Newcastle to pick them up. Did the whole 420km trip on one tank of LPG, $28, to fill up, and have already sold the door trims for $50. The BA parcel tray will up for grabs soon. The seats are from a sedan, but I am advised the rear sedan seat backs can be made to fit. We will see. Now, where is my big hammer and angle grinder? BA DOHC Turbo Parts Phase 2 of the BA Conversion is to add factory turbo gear to the NA engine running stock boost for a strong daily driver. I was able to pick up the factory exhaust manifold and dump pipe for $100 through a fellow member.  I will put these away until the time is right, and keep an eye out for other bargain bits. Cheers BenJ

so is it still initially going to be n/a when the motor goes in, or will it be boosted straight up?
i hope its not gonna be the latter, as it will turn into a frankieh build.... ahem

It will go in NA first, and will be boosted when all the bits are gathered.
Cheers BenJ

Nice scores there Ben! I might have scored one or two little bits for my panel van too, just waiting on confirmation. Each bargain is one bit closer...

well as i mentioned to ben, if he gets a XR6T fuel pump and cat along with a 1:1 FPR he will be good for boost. use the stock exhaust for now. or do what im doing, XR6T cat then getting the outputs opened up to 2.5" and running dual pipes.
also ben, i had a look, the stock cats and XR6T ones wont match up, the XR6T is more vertical then the stock e-series ones. but if you find a XR6T cat it will bolt straight up. and im sure you already know but they are a T3 flange |
