Hi Sandy in BC

I am relatively new to this forum so I am not aware of the destruction of a rare , vintage automobile. Can you fill me in so that I can be better prepared to intelligently respond.

Ken

Toyota Cressida seats in a 65 Valiant!

They are not Toyota seats! I wouldn't do that. Heaven forbid! The seats are from an 86 Chrysler. I put them in 25 years ago. The donor car was totalled with only 3500 miles on it so the seats were in beautiful condition and I could not resist buying them.

Keep the faith,
Ken

No not your seats, Sandy BC's. click the link in the signature line.

Sounds very cool. What turbo are you using? Any idea what kinf of power it makes?

I am using a Schweitzer turbo with 68mm wheel which will produce 47.5 lbs/min at 2.4 pressure ratio which should equal 406 HP corrected for temp rise and fuel type. I plan on limiting the p/r to 2.2 which will drop the hp to approx. 380 @ 5500 RPM. I am still playing with the fuel delivery, so I have not exceeded 1.8 P/R which makes for a very fun ride. The tires will not hook up even with the current pressure.

More later,
Ken
