hey i was just reading that article before and was going to ask if they visited these forums!
nice car
how much power is it making ATW ?
in there it said you make 220kw ? is that the wheels or motor ??

 

[thefastj]

ooh never noticed agro64 was on these forums.
nice car.

have you taken it down the quarter yet?? without or with the blower?
love to know some conversion times.

 

[64 EH]

Agro64 i would like to say first of all Very Nice job !!!!!
would it be possable for me to contact you or for you to contact me ?
my project is only in the planning stage right now and i am trying to obtain as much info as i can for the guy who is doing the work for me, an as your a keen reader of Street Machine mag. i would guess that you would know the name Mark Delaquar, he is the engeneer who will be doing the conversion.

64EH,
Im in brisbane and am the president of the fairly newly formed ej/h car club of QLD.

Agro64,
What did Mr enforcer do about the sump for yours?
Ive had to make a custom one to fit with the rear mount rack & peanut steering.

Heres a pic of mine!

Hey there Dreamkiller, thats great to hear. will we be seing you at the 2007 EH all state run in western Sydney.... i hope so. I am the secretary of the NSW club who is hosting the event in 2007, this event at easter 2007 will be where i will be unvaiingl my project, that is if i can't get it unvailed before then. You can see pics of my car in its current state at www.64eh.com then go to the gallery.

 

[Dreamkiller]

Dreamkiller did you notice that was your 64th post- freaky ooooooooooohhhhhhhhhh

 

[AGRO64]

firstly thanks for the positive comments guys.
now for some answers
firstly: the 220kw figure the printed is a guesstimate on their part as ive got some sorting and then fine tuning to do but at this stage its makin around 10rwkw at 3500rpm then it was making at 5800rpm when i first had tuned stock so there is definately an improvement.
secondly: never been down the quarter but would like to one day.
thirdly:64eh you have a pm
fourthly:mr enforcer didnt touch the sump they actually cut and braced the crossmember to fit around the sump to save worrying about possible dramas with needing to change oil pick ups and so on.
might have to try and get to the 2007 run. Used to be a member of the ehccnsw but always lived too far from the cruises and must of needed the money when my renewal was due(probably out of beer)

good to put a car to a name AGRO64 - nice article in Street Machine, nice car.

 

[64 EH]

hi agro i got your phone msg but accidently deleted it so i dont have your number to call you back mate

 

[thefastj]

just out of curiosity AGRO..
i've got the old Zoom mag your car featured in and the recent SM.

just how much of a difference has the blower made??
performance wise? fuel wise? smoothness? etc.

 

[Drizt]

sorry: meant to post somewhere else

 

[sideshow]

Mate there is definately a difference in low end torque but over all i cant give a true guide as its making a bit to much boost at the moment (12pound @ 3500rpm) and breakind down over 4000rpm so ive just got to save up again to get a different pulley and some better plugs and leads.
As far as fuel goes it still seems pretty good (little if any difference on the highway)and at the moment its running rich with limited timing to stop detonation.
Still smooth as silk just sounds really horn

 

[64 EH]

sideshow mark will be doing all of it
i will be running the std ECU with an aftermarket fuel module by Unique Auto Sports Cattle Hill
