Sorry Scot, missed your email of the 12th. I'll pay closer attention to the mails coming into my inbox. I delete 50 or so a day and if I don't recognize a sender pretty quickly it goes in the trash.

Scot, Patent, Graham, CDD I just traded my 88 Jeep Cherokee for a Merkur with a bad turbo.

 

I need a cheap turbo. Any help?

[Guest CDD]

Chuck: Sorry no help on the turbo. Just an update on the Kanab car. Received incomplete kit. A registered letter to Coveland has not been responded to. As this is a project when I have nothing else to do it is going to take some time to start. I need to find a computer guy who will transfer VHS to CDs for the computer. The rivits Coveland sent for the car are a much smaller diameter than the holes in the aluminum. I emailed GBS to see if Coveland was still the US distributor with no respons.Having fun in Utah.

CDD, my understanding, and I can measure them for you if need be, is that the rivets and holes are 6mm. The rivets and holes in my kit match. I can tell you from experience that Robin Hood/GBC and Coveland are unbelievable.

 

I considered setting my lawyer on them both.

 

Updating my project, I purchased a Xr4ti with the 2.3l turbocharged Lima engine. I have a Bag Vane Air Meter for it, an Engle cam, The LA3 computer from a Turbo coupe and the brown top injectors, Hoping for a substantial horsepower increase. We will see.

Thanks Chuck. Will keep the site posted. Glad you found thr turbo.

Hope this helps

 

The final wieght of the car was 777kg including driver & fuel so I've only added a few pounds to the kit.

About the same weight as an S7 then I would think.
