April 28, 200619 yr WOW..... what can I say but... "WOW"... I got a Brat...... but nothing like that. Good job....
April 28, 200619 yr WOW..... what can I say but... "WOW"... I got a Brat...... but nothing like that. Good job.... did you leave the SC14 switchable?
April 28, 200619 yr thats one awesome looking brat, um...brumby, dude. clean looking engine conversion.
April 28, 200619 yr That's such a sweet brat! Good job and good pic.s Got any more detailed pic.s of that swing arm? It's really nice!
April 28, 200619 yr Looking very nice! I love the rear tire carrier and rollbar. A supercharged brumby would probably mud really good.
April 29, 200619 yr i would love to see more about your supercharger... and your alt pulley setup... you're not running power steering i see and i thought you needed to it properly tighten the belt...? i'd love to supercharge my brat when i get the 2.2 into it... brat looks awesome! i'd love to see some #'s of somekind! (0-100km/h perhaps?)
April 30, 200619 yr Author did you leave the SC14 switchable? Yes Chris, its wired to a pressure sender, If I get a (another) backfire, it declutches the pump and lets the backfire pressure out. No figures yet, I need more retard in my distributor to get all the power out. Loads of torque at 2-3K (70-110kmh in 5th) right where I want it.
April 30, 200619 yr Author and your alt pulley setup... you're not running power steering i see and i thought you needed to it properly tighten the belt...? I have full belt adjustment on the alternator and also an idler pulley from an EA82T which can also go on if I need a longer belt. Bugger power steering and a/c, horsepower suckers!

Er right, Forgive me. Those beautiful pictures distracted me from the writing.

July 30, 200619 yr Here's one for sale in NSW, although it has an Impreza Motor http://cgi.ebay.com.au/IMPREZA-POWERED-BRUMBY_W0QQitemZ190013893335QQihZ009QQcategoryZ135963QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
July 31, 200619 yr holy freakin crap. i hate to sound so typical, but when i first saw the first picture my thought was "Well, he chose function over form," because honestly its a plain-looking girl at first.. but as soon as i really thought about that rollcage/cargo rack on there.. and of course once i saw the motor, that it was "form follws function"... and it is done spectacularly... standing ovation here, all she needs is a snorkel :- ) I live in south florida, and our average elevation here is about 25 feet or so.. we are talking low-lying swamplands, so most of the 'wheelers around here are into mud bogs and such, not dry sloped gravel roads.. which would explain why i feel a rig like that is incomplete without a snorkel, but man.. seriously.. that is something else. any interior pics?? what size are those tires? a buddy and i had a brat years ago.. we tried to hack together a carb manifold for a weber my uncle gave me, but then my buddy ripped all the ignition wires out along with the rest of the electrical accessories on the thing.. so it stopped being a four wheeler project and became an engine we had no clue how to get to spark. :- ( and it died, but we were going to strip it down to mnimum weight, and put the biggest tires possible onto it.. juust to see if we could make it float like a four-wheeler!! i think nothing would be cooler than a brat with an outrigger set up complete with propeller :- )
August 1, 200619 yr Author holy freakin crap. G'day daeron, Thanks for the comments, I appreciate them. The WB is a daily work truck, (does maths in head) 515 odd miles a week go under the wheels and as such it has to work. The racks hold my real estate signs away from the dogs claws and all the normal cargo, they give the old girl a little more rigidity than she had before too. I welded them to the wheeel arch in the tray. The motor just HAULS. Its not perfect yet, I am still tuning and tweaking and there are bits still needed- its getting close though. Even the local policeman has had a squizz (quick look) and he has given it all the unofficial thumbs up. (no chrome, no bling bling, no hassles) The tyres are 225/60/R15's Mud'nSnows. More pics coming...
August 1, 200619 yr How much modding had to happen to get the Liberty seats in, and is there still enough head room?
