Great work on the conversion Ben done so neatly wish I still had my dohc black Eb would have made cool photos black Eb ghia sedan n wagon dohc'd wait till you tune it and extractors with gas injection it will hall a**! You might go 13s my Eb did 14.4 on 32 degree night with slipping auto!
The time n effort payed off!


I do want to thank you for answering all my questions re your conversion early on in my research phase.

I know I get lots of 'tire kickers' asking for advice that will never actually go ahead and start the mod they are asking about, and I bet you do too.

I happy to have been able to follow through and complete the project.

Will drop you a line when I am heading up to QLD in the wagon and hopefully we can arrange a meet.

Cheers
BenJ

I do believe his name is Nathan, if we are talking about the toxic green ef wagon with the GT Bonnet insert similar to mine.

Cheers

BA DOHC - Extractors

I was happy to on-sell the EL Pacemaker Extractors to evxr6 last weekend for a fair price. Passing on E Series desirable/performance parts to fellow enthusiasts is one of my favourite things along with lending a hand with my mates projects.

Then while browsing eBay I come across a set of BARRA Pacemaker Extractors, located at Springwood up in the Blue Mountains. The starting bid was $150 and I knew it would go much higher.

I took a gamble and emailed the seller making an offer for the same value I sold the EL Pacies for, and stated I could pick them up that afternoon. Luckily I was home from work on Wednesday.

Not long later the seller got back to me and accepted my offer - YES!!!!!

You got to love a cost neutral upgrade.

A couple of hours later and a 90km round trip I bought this home.

I will sand the blue back and paint them in Aluminium High Temp paint.

They have a 2.5" collector outlet, so I am unsure if I need a 3" catylic converter or will a 2.5" option do the job.

SWC, time to get that welder out again mate!!!!!! :D :D :D

It will likely be a couple of weekends away before I can fit them with SWC's assistance and then I will consider getting a tune done.

Cheers
BenJ

Get a cat that will be suitable to use for the Turbo set up later, preferably 3" 200cpi.

Does this mean I have to work on this thing again.

f**k GAAAAAAYYYYYYY

PS. Good score on the Extractors mate.

Great idea SWC, in regards to the bigger cat for the turbo setup later.
