elford turbo

[kiwi-mick]

hi all anyone know someone who owns an elford turbo by chance?
have a chance to buy one minus engine and turbo have got a 12a turbo setup in aus but it\'s for the old cosmo setup an impact turbo and need injectors and management which it would be nice to avoid.
if i buy this elford would want it back to close to original spec as possible.

any chance of some detailed pic\'s at some point? did they use an su carb?

Keith did you get the setup off john by chance?
do you know if they used a standard 12a or did they put the low compression rotors in the motor when using this system?

[myatt1972]

Yes an su, ive got all the bits at work I will take some pics tomorrow and post them when I get home. The original set up had a small box of tricks that mounted under the dash to retard the timing I think but this can be sorted with a couple of pressure switches on the manifold.

Normal 12a engine, I got mine off Dom who I got the car off.
