Pretty sure you will be able to see this car at the AFF Drag Nationals at Heathcote on 10th & 11th June, 2011

Thanks for the linky to the build thread

Just discovered this thread while looking around the e-series stuff.

Glad you all liked the videos. Still debating whether to move the car on or just keep it to haul out to the track whenever I get the urge.

Still got that XR6 head to fit and been thinking about a converter as well. Any other budget orientated stuff I should try?

Well you can only sell it for $1,300 lol

Your car rocks - very impressed.

The vids are cool & I have referred ppl to them when thinking about changing diff gears themselves and how to remove the sound deadener

Xr6 has bigger valves so should help with a better 1/4 mile time - you can give the ports a tickle as well

I spent less then 500 on my EL and done 13 s easy

BUT I did have a engine I built a few years ago that cost me 800 - 900 back then

And that's N/A as well

If your going to run nos then you need a few little " tweaks" to your motor
But first get yourself a VL fuel pump and that will get ya nos up to 150hp and on a stock motor that's all you would ever want to run

What did you do to it to run 13s for $500?

The engine is coping with a 125hp shot at the moment pretty easy with the standard fuel pump, but I'd like to throw it on a dyno and see what the air/fuel is doing at high rpm.

Sorted ^^ up there told me about your links when you where doing it .. So I did some of what you did to the body and stripped it ... The rest is just a motor
I built the motor myself as a stock build .. But I ported the head heaps And got a decent cam


Years ago I used to run a EL on LPG ... Then I put nos to it ... I had some fun

Might have to try porting this XR6 head if there's that big a gain in it.

there is a huge gain in doing head work .
I have been building these motors since they come out and been doing cylinder heads since XFs
