Just wondering if anyone has one of these laying around somewhere. Only after one for future plans, as I should be concentrating on getting the car together and on the road first.

Thanks, Kevin

u wont find to many of them in aus unfortunatley
id love one in the collection to
there was a new one on ebay a while back but bidding went stupid towards the end and the idiot that got it paid pretty much what it would have costed to get it here from CB anyway

im just kicking myself for not getting one b4 $au took a nose dive

As am I.

and I remember that auction too, I was bidding until it went above $400 I think it ended up going for something stupid like $800, the funny party is i think it was advertised here and there were no takers for like $250

Build yourself one. You can get better flow and turbo position.
Look for my build in the members rides section to see how I did mine.
Bit more that the CB version but well worth it. The design also depends on how wide your motor is like my 2165 wont fit your 1915 etc.
Iswinkles (2443T) in the dragracing section had one a while ago for sale like mine or mine is like his etc.

I am thinking of makeing my own now with the $ the way it is.
If you have any info on pipe length needed what angle bends you need etc that would be awesome :tu:

I would want to keep my heater boxes, but love your work.

Go for a hotrod aftermarket underdash / hood electric one. I am doing that to pass reg for my windscreen demister as I and using my heater channels for something different.
