Bad Wagon, 71 510 Goon +SR + Holset = Giggles


Recommended Posts

 Brief run down, from SK Canada and ANY 70's import is rare because of rust..

This wagon was a buddies for 10years parked safely in his driveway, He rescued it from a junkyard... took a few years but he FINALLY sold it too me to fun other projects...

Not only do I get the car, but an SR drivetrain removed from a swapped 240 and boxes and boxes of parts he had collected.

I picked it up in December but get it stashed in the trailer until today

Thanks guys... I will snap some more pictures of the parts stash today, normally I just throw the crap out I dont need.

 

BUT if I have anything a Ratsun member can use I will happily just drop it C.O.D

Sorry if this update is lacking awesome welds or bitchin wheel/tire fitment...

I did what I could in the hour or so I had today

 

First things first... Scuffed up some chrome on the trashed bumper to make sure I like the dull look... And I DO

Okay... are McKinney mounts or something similar to make this "bolt in"?  

 

I thought in my searching I found the 510 mounts would work.. nope

So question, is there an off the shelf mount that works?  Are the truck mounts taller?  or am I going to modify/purchase aftermarket mounts?

its not that I'm being cheap... but I am... lol

 

NEXT issue,,, is my Holset won't fit.. I will try some clocking and fiddling first.. but an adapter of sorts may be required to move it slightly forward into the available space

if I had got the stock turbo with the motor... none of this would be required :rofl:

progress...  spacing it up and at an angle and it will fit. Well but "fit" it means I shouldn't have to go into the shock tower to do it.

Does that bung just twist out? I tried briefly but stopped before I broke anything..

 

its actually a hx351ve,  from a 6.7 cummins that has been modded to remove the computer controlled VNT.

I am using a waste gate accuator to operate the vnt portion.. it will stay closed for quick spool and open up the veins around 8-10psi

 

sadly... the SR wouldnt last long at full song on this turbo I don't think

HAHA I don't think it would last one minute at WOT with that turbo.  my 98 cummins stock turbo hits 37psi when im really getting on it, not smart of me but I cant help it!  im hoping your hood doesn't close to, cut a nice little hole to let it poke out a little bit and say hi to the world!!
