well a bit of an exciting update.
bought a little turbo for this so im gonna have a go at forced induction. so far ive sorted a location for oil feed. will need to drill into a gallery in the head and tap an earl fitting in. for the return it will be plumbed into the oil fill location.
as for fuel ive mounted an ammunition box where the air box used to be so im going to mount an external fuel pump and regulator in there.
other then that i just need to plumb it all up.
will post pics tomorrow.
any moto heads have suggestions for fuel pump. im guessing the boost levels wont be over 6 or 7 psi so will only need 7psi pump.

i didnt plumb it i gravity feed the oil using thin oil it wasnt very eficent but it worked it was very funny passing traffic at 130 on a postie.i really liked it the best with just the nitrous and the methanol i would hit that thing everywere use a full size car bottle in one arvo mounted on the rack lol
