BOOYEH now getting boosted......finally

[Gubas]

Gday all.
Just filling you all in on a huge update with my EBII Fairmont. Currently fitting my turbo, which as been sitting on a shelf for the last year and a half! All the turbo, manifold, dump pipe and exhaust are mounted. Just finishing off the intercooler and piping now.
To do list

Intercooler
Piping (2 1/2 inch)
Re-wire thermo fans
Install new wideband O2 guage and related wiring
Tune

I have been putting this off, after I had finished building my new house (Three years ago), my pergola (1 year ago) and my new shed (2 months ago).
Hopefully i'll get this thing on the dyno late next week for a tune and power figure. Hoping for 200rwkw on 7psi.
Here is a pic on the precedings so far,



Will keep you all updated on the tune and power figure. I'll try and get to a few mini meets soon to.

Gubas.

[Dezza]

[EFFalcon]

[Gubas]

sweet... should have been done years ago

Yeah, I know. Combination of money, time, CBF ness, no room, knowledge

Pics of shed?

Its pretty much full of stuff now, trailer, car, work benches, shelves etc..... and a laundry trough/taps, so no more go outside 10 pm in the freezing cold and dark trying to wash your hands and getting sudsy oil and water everywhere.
Im a sparky by trade, so its wired to the max with three phase power, so i'm on the lookout for a car hoist now.

[nstg8a]

that is a brilliant shed.... i want it

[BROCKYB8]

That is one nice shed

[travs ea-xr6]

GOOD LIGHTING FTMFW

[Dansedgli]

[Jake]

[stevo]

**** that's a sick shed, i'd love that.

Good work on the car too, I remember seeing a similar thread title ages ago, I thought that got bumped up again lol

[Gubas]

Haha, thanks guys. I have been waiting for that shed for three years! It was on order for over a year too. The shed pretty much takes up the entire backyard. Except for about 70m2 the rest or the 680m2 block is concrete. LOL wog stylez.

Gilly, yeah I attempted a turbo install once, but got scared and sold all the shit off. My car wasnt gas back then, so it was it gonna be a bit harder. Bad excuse, I know!

GOOD LIGHTING FTMFW

There is nothing worse than working in a shed with crapola lighting. It drives you mad. The three banks are switched seperatly, so there not all burning away at once, for all you greenies out there

[krisisdog]

Man I was excited when I cleared out enough room in our double shed to park and work on the falc in. That shed n backyard is just, epic.

Good to see the cars getting attention now, I'm sure it felt neglected watching the house n shed n shit getting put up.

[Mr_4.0]

love that shed! maybe even more so than the turbo i think.

next move for my house is a good shed/garage. but money permitting.

[EdFairmontGhia]

will be awesome to see you dosing up the steets of geelong...

[LTDHO]

Good to see Nick!

[Dumpsta]

Shed looks mad! Turbo looks better! Bet its nice to stand back and see what you've achieved there mate.. til the shed gets chokka blok and then you want to start all over again...

[holmsy]

think the only thing the guys on this forum love more than a turbo falcon is a nice shed

think i saw you on the ring road a month or so back. good to see the cars still around

[Gubas]

Yeah, sheds filling up quick!
I had the car running yesterday, fired up ok. Sounds alright too. Just gotta finish a couple of little things, then i'm ready for a tune, in two weeks when i'm off call for work.

Josh, yeah though I seen you, its funny, but I dont realy see the Geelong e-series guys getting around much. Must miss everyone.
I'll run the car as is for 6-12 months, and then pull it all down again and re-do bigger and better, or might just start with a new base and sell this thing. I dont know, we'll see anyway.

So far, its been a pretty quick, budget install, as I had most of the stuff lying around for over a year, that and I prepped the motor for the turbo years ago when I put the new motor in (timing/dizzy, sump oil return, GRA) so yeah, I'm happy

Bring on GOR 09

[holmsy]

car want to smell any worse?
people tail gating you dont like gas smell ya know.
