thanks very much, it wasnt easy nor hard. very time consuming. took me close to 18 months from start to finish and in that it took me 12 months to wire it up. i did however spend about 8 months trying to figure out why it wouldnt start(no inj pulse) and found i was using the wrong ecu the whole time.

i was thinking about a ef-el six in my te but chickened out and decided to turbo the xflow.looks like my wallet will never forgive me now.

i used the ed cos i liked the look of the intake manifold although the configuration of the EF/L intake just screams out "TURBO ME!!!!"

Yeah I was the same a 9inch is too bloody heavy and soaks up too much HP, the B/W will handle anything I throw at it. I've seen the same parts fitted in 9 second gassed XY's with no probs. I got all the bits from Mark at AUSSIE DIFFS on the Gold Coast and a mate of mine set it up. With EWP we just used a JayCar $32 12v speed controller instead of the Davies Craig $150 smart controller. Around town it likes anywhere 7v-12v and on the freeway flat out. V8's in Cortinas normally don't like running cool without engine fans but I won at the end...

(TD_2_NV aka FunkyTD aka aren't 2 forums fun....not)

Can someone let me know if they got any idea on how I can post the pics of my work in progress?

On the reply to thread page look at the bottom and you'll see another section called Additional Options in there you'll see the attach file section click on the Manage attachments and you can put them in there off your pc. Hope this helps.
Cheers Brett

OK .... here it goes....
First pic is Corty 1 I bought off an old couple here in WA negotiating was easy cause he didn't want to take it up north with him so he suggested $1 for every cc...2nd pic is after i spent $2,500 for a really sh*tty paint job on the same car 3rd & 4th is the one I bought from a m8 of Steve Mclarrens in ACT and 5th is a rough and I stress rough photopaint job when I was putting my ideas together...hope this clears up some confusion
