I believe the Holley HP series are made with nitrophyl floats now, pretty much any alcohol-ready carb is going to be boost-ready (modern carbs anyways). There's a nice 500cfm Holley that should be good for forced induction, the 0-4412CT. It's a circle track carb without a choke, and should come with a nitrophyl float out of the box. If not I think 116-3 works in it. It also has a kickdown linkage if you're running an automatic that needs kickdown.
You regulator may or may not work, depending on the style of regulator. It needs to be a [i]boost reference[/i] regulator, that you can hook a vacuum line to and add 1psi of fuel pressure per 1psi of boost. This is to ensure that you get enough fuel when you're in boost.
Converting a carb to take boost isn't as hard as it seems. But if you want a bolt-on carb, the 0-4412CT is a great choice. Slap it on, tweak it to work, and go. When/if you get one, pop the bowl off and make sure the float isn't brass though, as brass floats will collapse or crack under boost. A new float is under $20 so that shouldn't be a big deal. Pretty much any HP-series compatible two barrel carb can be converted to this same spec though. Larger jets, nitro float, and completely remove the choke. Don't forget to add the boost line for the bowl!
It's not as hard as it seems. If you want to go the J-pipe route, make sure you weld an O2 bung in there and pick up a cheap wideband kit to make sure you're getting good AFRs. If you fab everything and already have a free turbo then you can get the carb + o2 kit for under $500 probably. It won't be terribly expensive.

We start off easy with a basic clock that's broken, it's ok.. no big deal. Continuing on our journey south we find an aftermarket radio. And old one. This is the radio Jesus put into his car in 1997 because he wanted a CD player, and darnit he was going to have the supertuner for some darn good AM talk on top of it. But in 1997 dash kits weren't available to make it fit properly, and in 2014 they've now become too expensive, and a pocket underneath the radio would be altogether too plebian and mainstream. Instead a motley fabrication was carried out, making a diamond plate filler panel out of a mudflap.. and then affixing it to the dash with screw, but not any screws, FLATHEAD screws of death, but thank goodness they have hex heads otherwise there's no way they couldve gotten jammed in there like a baddragon.com purchase in the dark on an animecon hotel room at 5 in the morning.
NOW... after all that work there's a big issue. No one used fuckin CDs anymore anyways. How do we listen to our masterrace zune on our system? I'll tell you how. You buy an FM transmitter. Given the what we see in this picture it's obvious OP doesn't live in the big city, so an FM transmitter would actually work kindasorta in the car maybe. Now, it's not like there's $40 radios from JVC or any of that stuff out there, and it's not like this is literally the same setup you'd use if you had the stock radio if Jesus hadn't gone and switched it. But it actually is. All that work to put an aftermarket headunit in the jesuscruiser, and in the end an FM transmitter still needs to be used to listen to the Zune. And that's hilarious.
[b]BUT there's one final piece of the puzzle. Black ice. Black ice is the legendary air freshener scent that is going to make this whole scene OK. It's legendary in every circle of hell, and legendary in the circle of car enthusiasts as THE scent used by the 'young hip' crowd to make their car not smell like they smoke a pack a day in there, even if they do, so the car smells like black ice and cigarettes in the end, or to compliment the scent of a gallon of armorall used to make the interior look like a tentacle monster bukakke'd a glorious film of auto detailing onto the ramparts of their dash.[/b]

This line right here is the epitome of a plethora of people I've known at one point or another. The smell haunts me like so many sleepless nights caused by an intestinal bug forcing parts of my anatomy to do things that are, in short, nightmare fuel.
True this is, over dramatic this is not.

Well i sure didnt expect that well let me explain a few things. The radio is from the previous owner so i dint pick it. I made the plate just to make it not look as crappy with a giant hole in my dash. Also its not screwed into dash another plate is behind it so i didnt have to drill into anything. The fm transmiter i got for free so i just leave it in there. And final the black ice i asked my friend if he had a air freshener thats all he had.

Lol no worries man I wasn't trying to rip into you, just felt like it was soooo well set up it needed a grand analyses! It does all fall into place, though.
Also.. today... I cleaned my motorcycle and didn't take pics of that. Then put 4 speakers in my friend's GrandAm and didn't take pics of that. Then put the trunk/amp setup back in my friend's car that he took out for the winter, and took a pic. Remember when we built this monstrosity last summer? Well it's back and time to be super loud.

He added those 4x6s into the fan's intake ports on the back there that he got for free, just cuz. Seems legit, fans still seem to circulate enough air to keep the amp cooled.. which they should, cuz I mean, yea:

Yeah i had planed to get a double din but i dont feel i need to just yet more things to fix. The previous owner made a hackjob of the wireing for the radio so i dont pick any signal for the antenna but the transmitter works since its so close

Gimmie, or at least tell who makes it. I'd fucking LOVE to have a plexi sub shove in the face of a "sub aficionado" friend of mine. :v:
Just bought a 1989 Toyota Pickup. Shortbox regular cab, 22re, 5 speed, 4x4, needs a clutch. Otherwise pretty solid low rust for $1000 with 125k miles (not km, its been imported from the US)
More details and pics later (driving right now lol)
Winner winner chicken and steak dinner.
You found the holy grail of small trucks. With under 200,000 miles. (Unless the odo rolled over, and it really has 1,125,000 miles)

There's still a few floating around, found this one on craigslist when I was bored.
Today's day off project was going to be the intake manifold gasket on a friend's 2000 Altima.
"I'll relax for a while, then start this eveing, should be easy on a 4 banger"
wrong.
WRONG.
Started at like 5:30 and as it turns out like 3 hours or so (how much daylight I had) was not enough. Nowhere near enough. Aside from not having a 24mm wrench for the EGR and no ratcheting 12mm for a couple nightmare bolts underneath, there also begs the question of who engineered something that only seals against air and vacuum to be so ridiculous to remove! I could do the lower intake gasket on a 3400 faster I think.
I'm done bitching now. But yea, it got buttoned back up with no change and designated as a project for another day :p
Currently removing the bed from the J20. The bolts holding it have been there since it was built. God damn they are rusty, it's a bitch getting them off.
Only got 1 bolt left, the nut holding it is rounded and I can't get to it with an angle grinder.

Can you get it with vise grips? Or a dremel?
Not today, but yesterday evening, got my mufflers welded on and my fitted on my 3" stainless downpipe.
Got a lil idle video.
[video=youtube;Aux0xs1l0Kg]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aux0xs1l0Kg[/video]
I'm at 850 rpm right now, bumping that down to 700 as soon as I can, for that lope. Don't care if I have to change my timing chain dampener more often.
sounds good

On my F-250 I used an angle grinder on the head of the bolt in the bed, kept cross cutting it and chiseling chunks off until it fell out.

Obviously not done yet, but getting there.
Also took a few minutes while the paint was drying to see how to replace the power antenna (when the time comes) and the amp (when I replace my speakers). This also revealed that I have moderately open access to the huge dent in the quarter panel.

Hello friends, I have some stuff to share that I've done with my 2000 Mustang GT again.
A couple months back I threw on a sequential tail light kit because I think they look very saxy.
Today I got tired of my engine getting pissy while idling in drive (yes it's an autotragic GT) so I took of and cleaned the IAC valve and while I was pokin around I found an incredibly dry-rotted 90 degree rubber elbow and had a pretty significant vacuum leak on my PCV line, so I jerked around to all the auto stores to find any rubber elbow and cut it to size and threw it on.
I haven't gone out and let the computer relearn is idle but I'll do it tomorrow and report back if it's fixed.:dance:
Some of the problems I was having was it didn't want to start cold, and would take a while to get it to finally start, and when sitting in gear while on the brakes, like at stoplights, the engine would wanna take off or surge-like. It did this while rolling to a stop and made braking kinda awkward as well.
Finally got around to replacing the cracked right tail lamp on my S13. Right when I was pulling it out, a corner hit my center garnish and cracked it. GG. Fix one thing, break another.
Went to the yard hoping to score a center garnish, only find a bone-dry S13 shell. At least I managed to buy some Kicker speakers for $20
For some reason the license plate light is openable on uhaul trucks so you think 'oh i'll change the dead bulb' but we don't stock that specific bulb, so you HAVE to change the whole assembly.
Which had stripped torx bolts holding it in.
Using redneck ingenuity I took these flat headed bolts used for roll up doors and cut the flat head off of them using an angle grinder, then cut a slot into the now square head so it would accept a screwdriver.
It looks like shit but it fucking works.
Also the lights had this mud shield on them that someone ripped open, probably when changing the light before me, so I cut it out and then sewed it back on using the extra foot of wire that came with the light assy. And holy hell working on that thing was awesome, I was able to sit up straight while under the cargo box wiring the new light in. Oh and our heat gun isn't hot enough to melt the butt connectors like at all.
Cleaned the yoda up more, turning into a pretty nice vehicle, just have to figure out what im gonna do about the dents.

Used a old headlight restoration kit on the body, and interior parts, and it turned out really good.

Applied Nevr-Dull (greatest chrome polish bar none) to the bumper and used WD-40 on the grille. Repainted the bumper earlier.

Pretty good for 2 days work, I cant wait to get the interior together once the carpet is dry.

Clutch and flywheel are ordered, replaced the passenger side mirror too.
How much did you buy that thing for?
Well, after going through the idle relearning process and driving a half hour to class, I think I might have finally sorted out my engine problems. It had no rev bouncing around at all while idling in drive and the CEL hasn't come back on yet. I hope it says that way.
$1000!! I'd LOVE to keep it but I gotta make money. Clutch and flywgeel are already in today.
You could easily sell it for $3k here. :v:
I think he'd easily get $5k for it here if it's got little rust and is in good mechanical condition.
Yo man u want 2 trade 4 my xbox its broken but its come with call of duty ghosts stuck inside of it?
[editline]3rd April 2014[/editline]
So i drained my trans.. it holds 2 or 3 quarts of lube and I think barely 1 came out... sure that helped my issue, also holy fucking sludge.
Removed two bellhousing bolts, the starter, and got angry af at the exhaust that im going to have to cut to remove before dropping the transmission.
Oh and I cut my shifter off because fuck you.
[QUOTE=Del91;44442118]You could easily sell it for $3k here. :v:[/QUOTE]
He could sell it for about 7-8K here. The prices on those old toyota's are insane.
Minus the shifter boot and some detailing the interior is pretty much done.
I'm thinking $5000-6000 for it, the body is pretty badly dented though.

Congrats you now have a $5k truck.
Sitting at les Schwab, got a tire checked because it kept going flat. Turned out to be a nail. All 3 other tires were bald though so $200 later I have 4 brand new tires on my crap can.
[editline]3rd April 2014[/editline]
Oh man Having new tires is amazing, the car feels so much smoother. I should clarify, that the tire with the puncture was patched and put back on because it's pretty much new. Probably less than 5k miles on it.
Just did driveshaft ujoints at school rear anyway, fronts were out of stock.
