okay I have an urge to sell some custom stuff on the luv possible not for sure

- powder coated (intake manifolds, valve covers and anything else?)

- grille guards w/ luv lit with led (powder coated or primer?)

- custom louvers (right as of now they are small) have to check with boss as well.
- one shortbed shaved marker lights and or custom work done to it?

- fender flairs possibility?

- turbo kits for G 180 (later on)



just throwing out some ideas seeing if anyone may be interested.

Thanks

James

turbo would be too small for the 2.6, and since it would be for a Luv more than likely a blow through carby setup, 2.6 is MPI, you'd have to figure out how to get extra fuel to the engine when under boost and all that other jazz.

fender flares sound nice, and if it wasn't for the fact that I'm going to be putting in a built 2.6 into my Luv (carb'd not MPI) I'd be interested in the turbo

yeah I am seeing how many are interested in this first

make some kits with small turbo (basically enough to let you go 65 up steep hills on freeways. The reason for a small turbo is less likely to put a load on bearings and parts in engine which could be prone for failure.

no on fuel injection this will be for carb setup.

I am going to do some homework and keep the price relatively low.

If that turbo is a blow through then it WILL work on FI engines too.All you need is a boost referenced fuel pressure regulator and it could be used on a bigger engine but you would have to keep the RPMs down.

well I really dont think I am going to do any dashes a guy could make some box looking dashes out of aluminum. I think dash caps are just fine and do some detail work with some aluminum or paint around guage panels jockey box.

I wouldn't mind later building some dual carb intake manifolds but I have a lot on my plate as we speak one step at a time though folks.

The turbo idea I think I will end up not doing maybe just one or two after I test it of course.
