Give me brands people, so far looked at APS, GFB, Turbosmart, gimme more and give me experiences on each if you have some

i have turbosmart (blumback).. seems to do what is needed
Mate had a v3 one on a similar setup.. seems to do what is needed

is yours mc rooted ?

[B4TT]

I has GFB.

Works orright.

Thanks mate, GFB do make a direct bolt on for the B4, I just wanted to check peoples experiences with various brands to see if anyone said "I had such and such brand and it 'ed out after a month"

Turbosmart do a full atmo for the B4 - DO NOT WANT. Failing that I could use an adapter and Universal fit Turbosmart, but I guess this is not necessary if GFB do a good one.

Hai. I lolled at cops running story.

Josh ... Run no BOV. Flutter is your friend.

My mini engine is rebuilt, and it still has an oil leak, I dont even know that there is oil in there!

Hahaha I feel you on this. I had the engine in my 2500 rebuilt and bored out to 2700. Even after the rebuild it still had a small leak.

Morgs. Don't tempt me with such tasty EH wagon.

Where's the rust?

There was some at the base of the dash right where the windscreen started and around the trimming. However they only wanted $8,900 for it...

Its just an automatic oil change. Factory option.

Rust and oil leaks were factory specifications. I still love them but.

what about wiring gremlins and cabin water leaks? dealer options?

all this talk of british cars is making me feel nauseous.




ahh. that's better.

It's not an EH, it's an EJ.


EH > EJ.

Rust at windshield base isn't good.

And $8.9K? Too much.

I'll be hunting for something in the next couple of years.

[B4TT]

Leyland P76, Austin, MG, Morris, ROVER....... set you over the edge yet Alex? I died a little inside just typing that

[Adam]

Hahaha

[ams]

Cool cool.

I've got the GFB hybrid for the B4. It's a tight fit but it bolted straight on no probs.

[Morgan]

Yes, EH >>>>>>> EJ!

A decent one would still be up around $15k? EH's just keep going up. $25k easy.

They're asking $8.9, if I was looking, I'd offer $6k...

Can't wait to have a garage (and more money). I will walk out to see my '71 MkII Cooper S and '64 EH Special wagon sitting there....

[Adam]

I like the look of the TS kompact plum back ones. Wouldn't mind one of them to make my engine bay a little neater! IC to rubber hose to 90 degree adaptor to BOV to rubber hose makes it look a bit pov.

That post deserves a swift and accurate high five.

Never had water leaks or wiring gremlins( other than when I rewired the dash lights wrong when refitting the dash) in my Triumph so I can't comment.

I do like a nicely sorted mk1 golf

[Adam]

Haha nice edit Alex. But at the same time, Fork you!

[Morgan]

Haha nice edit.

EH > Mini

But I just gotta have one, one day. It's the only British car I'm interested in. 1275 bored to 1310, red with white roof and go-fast stripes. Mmmmm

MkI here but you get the idea

[Adam]

Seats = fail
