I read this as he will be doing kits, however after re reading I see it is one. Bugger.

Sounds awesome. Keep us in the loop, I'm keen!
I must admit the efi version looked like the goods but I hate electrics and they hate me. Nothing wrong with a carby! What sort of timeframe do I have to get this past the handbrake?

Your location would be good.....

How much are you chasing for it?

Its not illegal to weld chassis, we get chassis extensions and wheel base mods done regularly and they are not riveted. Weld at a 45 deg angle with a reinforcing section inside going through the welded section.
This is part of the heavy vehicle modification regs. I am not sure about light vehicle regs, but if we can weld a truck chassis which will be rated to 23 tonne GVM I doubt they would have any issues with a welded chassis on a car.
I do remember years ago a guy repairing a crashed falcon told the department he had used a new bodyshell and they wouldnt approve the repair, so he went back and told a different guy he had replaced the front chassis rails and a full long rear cut and they approved it. Problem was, it's illegal to remove a body plate and affix it to another vehicle, which is what he technically did for the body shell, so he told them it was 3 cars made into 1 and that was fine. Red tape technical bullshit.

Take the starter motor out and use a lever or something simular to lock the flywheel using the teeth on the ring gear. You may need assistance.

I always used permatex non hardening sealant on paper gaskets, I believe it's a locktite product now, aviation non hardening sealant. Handy especially on water galleries etc where there is a chance of previous leakage and therefore pitting. This stuff stays tacky. I also use Stag on welch plugs too.
Ideally you should not have to use anything, however on old bits I usually do. Beats using half a tube of ultra blue on everything.

Sikyne I know you probably have a business to run and other projects but I am missing the updates on this. I am guessing its not just me either. Any further updates?

OK all, I'm interested!
I have an idea based on all this. I have a manifold like the picture, and have fabricated a 'Plenum' out of steel which bolts on in place of the weber. If I bolt a throttle body onto that, and put 2 injectors into the manifold pointing at the head (as a side note I just found you can get screw in or weld in injector bosses online in steel or alloy. Who knew!). I guess I could do 4 but I am trying to keep this a little basic. Turbo manifold bolted on, plumbed to throttle body, 2 injectors and what I think would be a better than standard manifold we should be good.
Now, is it possible to run a standard electronic distributor if the injectors are just firing a pulse? Would it be able to trigger off the standard dizzy or does it need no 1?
I was in the process of buying a 1500 to do a bit of work to, but after following this I think the 1200 is staying, with a little help from forced induction.
Thoughts?

So I guess the original build thread is a bit out of date now. As you seem to be not doing this to sell a kit, can we assume that the final product will end up as a DIY build thread and everyone will be driving 120kw a12 turbos?
Any chance of you producing a manifold at least? Out of the whole build, this is probably the most difficult part.
A step by step thread on the final product (as per the original thread) would be very useful.
Thanks for the effort, I am sure everyone appreciates your time and effort here as much as I do.
