I noticed the air compressors .... Do you have any quality paint spray guns??

Look forward to seeing lots more piccys of the 89 project . We'll definitely pull the 90 engine out next time I'm there and do the H/G on it and few other bits and get the Blower on and see how it goes, I think you need to do something about your Fuel Reg on the 90 if you're going to throw the Blower on the Injectors should have enough Flow.

Not to many bugs in the Toyota other than fuel control playing games
Swaped realys etc and found a dry joint at a plug in the end

I'll get the Rangie up on stands today and start undoing body mounts bar work etc and get this LRA lift happening

I wonder if a S/H converter may fix your auto for a wile? The trany feels OK to me Has no slippage other than torque converter.

I have a Malpassi variable fuel regulator with the blower. How are your alloy welding skills going? Want to have a crack at building an inter cooler to squeeze between the blower and intake. About 2.5" thick. Have to see if I can scrounge a air water set up off a truck dismantler and make it fit

okay i Guess , I can Weld it all up on the TIG machine at tafe , I don't have my own tig yet , just need to know the Dimensions etc , water to Air would be a great set up and more efficient , I like to see it setup on your Rangie 1st and I'll do the same on mine , you'll be able to run big boost , and then unleash the real power of the 3.9 V8.

not sure about the reliability Factor thou

have you seen the price of The GM3800 E90 interooler , Bit Exxy , I reckon

Direct from THRASHER ___Only $2422.14

I'd try and keep boost around 5-6 psi just to increase the V/E see how I go , I want to to keep it as reliable as possible. there is no other way to charge cool the air is there ? This will replace my intake Manifold , I justspent a fortune getting all ports opened up

We are looking at the bit on top of the manifold.... Once the blower goes on the ram tubes all come out and this is where they need help.
Don't see why cant we build one. Not the same as Thrasher for various reasons.
You know me..... Never say never I'm going to find a way of doing this with some engineering and improvisation.... This is what I seem to do these days I need access to a good accurate milling machine
