Resealed and cleaned up the 617 that was in my 83 wagon. Removed the n/a engine and trans from the 78 sedan. Cleaned up the engine bay and set in the cleaned up engine and trans. Fabricated mounts for the new intercooler and radiator. Converted to throttle cable instead of linkeage. Fabricated all new boost piping. Relocated battery to trunk, had to make a patch panel for the hole under the former battery tray.

Thanks, I agree Rudolph's is pretty sweet. Haven't decided that yet, when it was in my wagon, all I did was leave it at a set point which gave me about 16psi max. On this chassis I would like to have control over it so I have considered either cable or some type of servo motor setup. suggestions?

07-08-2011, 04:44 AM #8I read an article where someone was using a VNT in an Isuzu (www.4btswaps.com). He was using a dual action air cylinder with air pressure regularors on each input. Neer did see an outcome on it, though.
