Thats awesome, suprising to hear it doesn't go aswell as ur V8.
but didnt it say the extra injector setup wasnt working properly? get it on a dyno with a decent computer in it and it'll be laughing

Nice buy dude, I too would have thought it would go better than an NC V8. Probably just needs a tune up. Have fun with it.

I wouldn't push it too hard without that extra injector working....it could lean out and BOOM, blown engine.

Wow. Good to see a forum member got it too.
One thing I noticed was the intercooler looks a bit on the smallish side, are you going to get that recoed or go a new one?

Fully sick.
Good to see someone on the forums ended up buying it, I was hoping Dan would though! It's definitely one of those models up there with the Brock and SVO EA's, and would restore very nicely. If I got it I'd be taking it back to manual and fixing up the Microfueler. That Microfueler is exactly the same as mine, when I was hunting for one a few popped up for around $250. Just browse around a couple of forums and you should find one. FYI, that is one of those original AIT/Steve Inall turbo kits, not that any of you didn't already know. They weren't a 'factory' setup as everyone thinks, just a professional and well done after-market kit. Steve Inall was trusted with a EA motor months before the EA was even released so he could do all the fabrication work of the manifold and lines etc. They put out 195kW @ ~4200RPM at the flywheel on 6PSI, and a Wheels test car that was running 5PSI (was stuffing up on the test day like all EA turbo's) did a 14.7 down the quarter. That's 5 speed with a 2.92, so there's heaps of potential there. They were all built to comply with emissions etc. so that's the best part. The kits retailed for $5100 for a manual and $5900 for a auto, fully fitted, back in '89. I think the price included a full suspension setup as well, but I can't remember the details off the top of my head. Either way, good luck with it! Sundeep |

Pfft should have let me buy it!!
Some aftermarket kits had the other speedo some didnt. I think it depended on where the kit came from.
