That intercooler setup looks familiar - I think I've seen it on an EF/L before..?
Starting with an EA is the way to go

plenum looks similar to the one Rod (the Dentist) used to run back in the day when it was supercharged: the green one
I mean....
^^^^^^
edit: also looks like the other supercharged EL he's got/owned...

Doesn't just look similar, the pipework looks identical, look at the bends and compare where they are welded from the two pics.

That's the one I was thinking of - either it's the same guy with another car or he sold the setup to this guy. Either way, tough

Farr that's what my EA looked like back in 1991. Wish it still looked like that. Oh yea, 10's are cool too.

Chances are a lot of it has been swapped over throughout various setups.
obviously on the supercharged car, the throttles are pre S/C, when turbo, its pre manifold.

looks the goods, and it'd be cool to see that on the street, backing tires past other police cars, and everyone wondering WTF was that
Does anybody have a power figure for it?

The Engine is from Rod's Grey Falcon and was a test of the fastest possible time on LPG with cast pistons and standard rods.
A built engine is currenlty being installed. The 10.06 and 25psi was hurting the standard parts, it was comfortable at 20PSI and 10.49.
Turbo - T04Z,
Gearbox - built C4,
Diff - standard with spool,
LPG - vapour injection.

states rod sammut as the driver? Is he driving a mates car or does he have another insane E-series turbo? Makes sense when looking
at the pipework....

I wonder what the cost of the lpg conversion is???
Would like to compare as E85 is coming to more servo's and that's a good fuel as well
