here is what I did, very easy and cheap,


parts.

Disk........: VW Caravelle vented 5 hole 114PCD
Disk mods....: none if you have 15" rims, 10mm smaller on disk diameter for 14" rims
3 holes to handle the 3 studs that don't have holes. one of the existing holes can be used. rim spacing as required......

Calipers.....: Toyota Camry single pot floating.
Caliper mods....: none, just custom made hydrolics....

convertor bracket....: Custom, to use 2 of the 4 holes on the stub-flange....

the calliper can be mounted leading or trailing, depending on where the bleed nipple is situated. Makes for a nice and well thought-up conversion... and it WILL stop you on a dime....

I'm running one with myTurbo'd A15.....
still pulling strong and it's been a couple of months and 2 drag meets now......

I guess a sure fire way to keep the box in one piece is to keep the rubber on the rear less than desirable...

I am using the std "Oldsckool" points ignition in conjunction with an aftrmarker EFI system that can do Fuel and ignition.

this particular EFI can be triggered ether by Hall, Magnetic, or CCT-breaking.... (IE. points). and it is working well for me. I guess the only down side to using points is when the engine gets to those screeming 8.5K Rpm ranges and above... it might get bounced.


The points, in my case only gives the ECU a trigger pulse and from there, timing is calculated by the ECU and then passed to a TP100 ignitor, which is responsable for the hard work. the points will theoretically last for ever..

yes, the boot opens up to the side,

I've been building on her, On and Off for the last 12 years.... yes I know... that is pathetic..... but what can I say, life keeps on with these curve balls, and I'm blind in the one arm...

I'll upload some more pics of her now.....

ok done, just go check in the photo album section...

I'm running a Garrett from a Merc VITO Van.

The are a tad bit bigger than a T2
EX-AR= 0.43 IN-AR= 0.45

I am most surprized with this units responce to the A15


here is how I made my manifold.


and on the engine

personally, I've never crushed any cars... have been restoring\modifing cars ever since I could drive them.

my very first car as testament to this.......
the only one of it's kind I am aware of

so this is what i have in my pickup.




plze tell me it's my lucky day .....

15.2@154kph. 30jul06 on 175/70/14's

0.9 bar on pump gas with an A15 (stockish)

I got 15.2$@154kph on 175\70\14 dunlop's

obviously the slowest of the bunch...:)

OK a Little bit more on the car... it's a 1400 pickup, has the A15 motor with stock crank and stock head.

A set of Langley pistons is doing the boinging... 20th Over.

It's running the stock 4spd GBox. and the std diff. rear tires are 175\70\14 Dunlop's, IE. ell cheapos. :)

I have a custom made Fuel injection system on the inlet side, running 4 injectors from a 4AGE Toyota twincam motor, fuel pressure regulated a 2.9bar.

computer is a Gotech std, Mapping is done by myself as well, no dyno required... :)

The turbo is from a Vito van. Garrett t2 ish in size...... ex AR= 0.43 in AR= 0.45

boosting 1bar on pump gas ( 95oct) with very conservative timing, for obvious reasons.

I managed a 15.2 at 154kph at a local drag meet on the 30th Jul 06. and am very pleased with it, not only that it was my virgin breaker on the official drag scene, but that I managed that with the above said rubber.

what do you guys in the know, think.... should I rather go stick it in the sand and hope nobody here can read.... or do I have a future in drags..... :D
