Here is the Brumby to replace my first one in some way. For what it was going to cost me for another tailgate and tarp I managed to prise this from the grips of the former owner - in a shocking state of pollution hook-up the dealer staff gave up on some ten years ago. sat around eight years while I eyed it off for four ! Now been sitting in my yard for two years where I bent a push rod due to old oil or fuel sticking up a valve guide -so got head service grind ala glass plate slide about and new head gaskets. The fuel tank was so rotten inside it was turfed, under tray is now home to spare wheel carrier and new fuel cell is in the front of the tray.

 

Fitted up with my old twin Hitachis I have had for 15 years or more now, running a CA100 IMPCO propane mixer to the rear of the carbs instead of at the front of the 100x50mm steel box atop the twins

 

Air box is now identifed by measuring up the air filter and sifting through a manufacturers website. Is from a pre 2004 Mazda 323 Protege or the like. Is mounted where wheel jack was with a bracket coming off the horn bracket

 

Also added a coolant reservoir bottle up in the corner with a rather long overflow hose. Worked a treat on my first Brumby.

 

Just need to bleed the brakes, add one more electric fan and should be ready to present for registration inspection. Curent single fan comes in at 90C right on my alarm temp and takes forever to pull temp down by just one degree engine temp before switching off. Be doing something about that with the second fan for sure.

:) thanks for your comments guys. No videos - you are lucky I can post a photo :) The sound of the twins is drowned out by the air box and vapour feed system needed to run.But, I tell you when these twin ran wetrol (wet fuel you know as gasoline as opposed to dry gaseous fuel propane) air filter off, getting induction in stereo, lock up the secondaries so I had a quad throttle quadrazontal - ma.a.a.a.n !!

 

Buuut, having recently sampled a spider inlet on my twin port EA82 there is going to have to be a engine swap and have a single range AWD box to sample as well :)
