If you read the thread I said it's got an omega gear box
Which is massive compaired to a ford type 9
to be honest you would be better looking at my ha saloon that rybukku built
Even tho it's a 2.0 it has a ford box

hi mate the reason i asked about blower possition is only because ive mounted mine on a home made plenum as you have seen.  I guess you plan to pipe around the bay ? I'm not doubting your work fella just curious, i love the old ha vans i had one back in the day for work and would have one now if space was'nt an issue good work mate ;D |

Yes I was hopeing to be able to pipe it up
couple of reasons
I can take it off if it doesn't work
I wouldn't be confident that my welding would be air tight
I wouldn't have a clue how to make a plenium
It allows me to pipe in a intercooler
What ecu ect are you running ?

started today by modifiying the head for the supercharger bracket that i started last week i had to drill 2 parts out on the head that would usually mount a heat sheild  so drilled them and tapped them out for a 13 mm bolt  next up was the thermostat houseing  opened it up  then i shot blasted it new thermostat in  bolted up with new cold start sensor and temp swith for the dash  next up a flat belt altinator from a x20xev as this will allow my supercharger belt to sit straight  i spent most off the day stripping it and cleaning it tho i didnt take many pics here it is finished and on the engine  next up is a standard c20let top hat  then shot blasted and on the engine  more soon  |

That was a bit of a sore point, I had it made to my spec, but the fabricator completely cocked it up. so i had to have it re-done, but I painted it afterwards  |

today's jigsaw puzzle  it's a yukspeed flat pack sump kit I originally bought for my vxr engined viva But unfortuneitally it doesn't fit  so I decided to use it on the van And for the life off me I couldn't get it to sit right under the van so I took the sub frame and suspension out with the dummy engine still mounted to it Turned it upside down so I could see what I was doing  mocked to whole lot up and started welding  to behonest if I bought this kit as a direct replacement for a manta sump I would be extreamly disapointed in it But that's not a problem for the van as I would have had to modify it any way |
