Hey photol,
              . My mate has a Nissen Stegea wagon with a turbo RB25. The wagon rips but the economy is crap! But I'm sure it's most likely cheaper than my Chev! I'll have to do a run with him some day and do a $ for $ comparisin. Porr bloke paid twice as mush for his wagon than what I paid for the van and when ever I pull up next to him, no one even looks at the Stegea again. 

Poor Mr Mc Thundacat..that stegea flys but hey it aint no bedford

It would be very hard to add a turbo manifold and turbo - no room....

Hi Jock, There is plenty, plenty room up under the van put the turbo down under the van somewhere. this will also assist in keeping it cool! You could mount the intercooler horizonatally under the van with thermo on top pumping the aire through and the hot air will be dragged under, down the back and away . I have fantisies about this, but twin This will have to wait untill after the trip around Oz, if this happens next year.

Hey Marky, where you live G? I'm gonna check your gallery again. I think we were maybe talking about you yesturday. He was telling me I should tell you about this website. Looks like you're already here

alrighty all you 202 freaks, I have decided to put the black efi in the beddie campa and in good faith had a little tinkle on the internet and whoa hold up there sonny boy, I never realised how much is involved, I'm hoping that over the next coupla months I will get some guidance by the the beddie brotherhood, putting the motor on the front end and wheeling it under the van is the easy bit ..... but how do you make it go with the brmmm brmmm noise? Firstly, apparently I have to adapt a return fuel line into the fuel tank ..... how? has anyone done this and if so can you please asisst with advice/hints and pics cause me is very simple man with very simple understanding of mecahnicals ... hopefully me get van on road making brmmm brmmm before Geelong Nats ...... please ??

Hey Eddy why dont you give the fuel injection a miss  put on a carby manifold off a blue 3.3 & a XE falcon webber carby too easy Or go staight gas Cheers Reid

Nice pic of the turbo! Who's van is this? I was thinking of putting it (or them he, he) either side of the gearbox or tailshaft. Basicaly connecting them striaght up to the flange on the ned of the extractors.

photol, that may have been bucket instrucions but you're right you deffinately get more output than without and in that sence less fuel wastage or usage for the same output (bad explanation on my part) by creating a more potent mix in your cylinder, but i would think that you would have to increase consumption to feed the increased revs. Still don't know if I've sexplained myself very well

Hey eddy, to run a return line to your tank, you'll have to remove it and have it steam cleaned for atleast 24 hours so it's safe for drilling (after the cleaning if your still worried you can always fill it with water then drill). Drill a hole in the top (towards the back) to fit your return line. You could have a nut welded to the top of the hole so you could thread in a hose fitting or have a hose fitting welded into hole.

Tweaker......um....yeah...sort of.....I think so.....are you saying that fuel consumption increases no matter what ?even ginger driving won't help ? ....so that super charging....is just a sheer quest for grunt......and in no way helps economy? ....unless we're talking the oil economy.........what is really interesting is how quiet the V8 owners are on this subject of economy
