High Boosts SX

a pic...

The new look 4x4 SX with 18's!

😀 😀

kidding... looing good dude

Yes a bit of progress made, busy with hub conversions at the moment, that's putting a spanner in the works a bit as while I'm busy with that the car is not "moveable" Wiring harness has been fitted, just need to test.

Still to do after hub conversion:

Propshaft
Brakes
Plumming - water and boost
Exhaust

Then it should be running

MY MAIN MAN RIEKERT WILL POST A PIC SOON - and yes I know I should clean the garage!!! Thanks again Riekert! 😂

O ja - its on blocks because of the hub conversions so that's why its riding high - 😂

The 18's are a black chrome A-line Blade ..... Kinda nice.

Tyres by DUNLOP - who could have guessed 🙄

I still have a bonnet scoop that I not particularly want to fit, its an ISUZU 3000 one, already sprayed etc just need to cut the holes...... 😕

Body kit is looking really slik.
Watsup with the grafix.. you sonsored by Dunlop??

Yes, actually by Neptune Tyres, and they are a Dunlop dealer here in Port Elizabeth, not a huge sponsorship but enough to justify the signage.

The amount of help Anre from neptune gives me and fellow drag racers, are unheard of in the industry... Nothing is too big or too small. We used one of his lifts for two full day's to build my roll cage... Which he uses for doing exhausts = loss of income for him....... 😳

Therefore I will gladly drive around advertising him and his brand.... 😂
Wish I could do more !

Ok, so you dealt with a Dealer directly, nice one.. i tried Head office ... EPIC FAIL, bunch of backward peddling Artards! 🙂

It helps if the Dealer is also a DRAG RACER himself.....

TAKE ME TO YOUR DEALER ....HAHAHAHA :200sx_stupid: Sorry off topic, but just had to !

Next hurdle - 76mm or 100mm exhaust ??? 😕

nice!

so yeah.... want to get a 76mm too! lemme know if you get a good price!

Phoned arround :

76mm Pipe per meter = R54.72 (mild steel)
100mm per meter = R 75.20 (mild steel)

76mm 90 degree mandarel bent = R 75 (mild steel)
100mm 90 degree mandarel bent = R 101.90 (mild steel)

Flex joints s/steel per meter (cut to size)
76 mm - R 770
101.9mm - R1060

Boxes made to spec - 76mm approx R550, 100mm approx R750 (mild steel)

So say you use 6 90's , 1 flex joint of 100mm, 3m of pipe and one box the prices would be more or less:
76mm = R 1250 material only.
100mm = R 1700 material only, then stil labour/fitting/welding.

For a R450, difference I am leaning towards 100mm........

What do you guys think? 🙄

100mm, i want something like this as well

do 100mm, thats 14mm extra...

its what most women wish for!!! 😂 😂 😂

turbo's love bigger pipes!

dude! do 100mm! and get me one too! hehe

oh and you'll need about 1 90 and a few 45 ones...

welding shouldn't be to expensive and then fitting you can do yourself. hehe

hey dude! check this: the exhaust on the left looks good...

what about it?

thats what you should be aiming at when you build a exhaust?

As for the 45 degrees = one 90degree cut in halve = two 45's, cheaper, just with a little more welding. My problem I have is that the 7mgte motors exhaust is on the opposite side to those on the Nissan motors. Will have to cross over or under the prop shaft. Other option is to cross just in front of the G/Box, but that would mean to very tight 90degree bends very close to each other in opposite directions.

I have done a bit of homework and have been told that I might loose a bit of torque low down which might not justify the power gain on top with the 100mm.

Busy with the hub conversion, quickly help me Nuts or studs???? The hub's metal thickness is about 12mm in the front and 16mm at the back.

Ok 2 wheels done, what a job!!!!

Went with wheel nuts... hope it holds out...but I am sure it will. 😕

Now I can move the car around again... jipee

Will get started on finishing the wiring today. And test fitting a radiator that I got, its one from a TX5 with a built-in oil cooler too.

WISH ME LUCK !!! 🙂

Sorry for only posting now...

here are 2 updated pics.

THANKS RIEKERT 😂

Before anyone asks, the bucket is holding the front bumper in place its not fitted to the car yet, makes it easier to work on the engin..

What you guys think???
