It’s about time 
Not bad for 43 (almost 44) years old.

I did a thing, it involved wires and hoses.
I fitted the M101 Sirion GTVi radiator to the Handivan. Video explains it all.

Replaced my bailey channels, and yesterday I removed the window regulator mechanism. I degreased and cleaned it out the best I could, and applied Lithium grease. There is some slight wear on the teeth (something that future Dale will have to amend) but reinstalled and it works well again.

I’m quite hesitant of uploading work and ideas, since I am so indecisive. I’m fairly certain this is the way forward now.
This is the most overkill on a cheap turbo ever. I ported the exhaust wastegate hole from 11 to 16 mm, there is plenty of overlap with the wastegate flap.
I bought this Turbosmart IWG75 off marketplace for $50, it needs a 5 psi spring.

couldn’t you adjust boost with a bleed valve?
You can easily adjust boost pressure upwards but not downwards, to my knowledge.

Correct.
The bleed valve is essentially stopping the spring being effective.
yeh that makes complete sense. I had a durr moment I guess. lol You bleed off air to increase psi so the gate stays closed.
Not a bad effort, pretty easy to do.
I need to make the manifold, and I’ll jig it on both the engine in the car and my engine in the shed. I can use the shed engine to make the oil feed line and I have a spare sump at work for the oil drain work to be done on.

I installed a 3 psi spring in the Turbosmart wastegate actuator, I can hold double the spring pressure which is good because I definitely don’t want it over 6 psi on the standard engine.
I’m still saving my dollars for a hoverboard…
I mean an Emtron ECU, life happened and I broke a bathroom sink.

Emtron SL4 has been paid for, I’ll get it in a few weeks.
I think that’ll be the cheap part but I’m looking forward to an ecu that will outperform my needs.
I need to get my hands on the L60 shell I pillaged the suspension from.

why you need another shell? what whitchcraftery are we looking forward to seeing?

The shell is absolutely buggered.
I only need the engine bay section to jig from, so I can keep the Handivan going while I get ready for the conversion to EFI.
It would also be handy to be able to jig E series engine and gearbox mounts into.

well that makes a lot of sense and good thinking. 
The Handivan required a sacrifice.
The Daihatsu gods are pleased.
Bought home some parts to dismantle. I really wanted the front end, now I can fabricate engine mounts and check 3d prints and design parts to fit the engine bay without taking the Handivan off the road.
This car unfortunately had only 125,000 km on the clock.
Tomorrow I’ll take parts to the recycling centre. The condition of the parts left over are pure scrap.

your quicker than me the car Im cutting up is going slowly in the wheelie bin lol. By the time I dumped the shell it would cost me more in fuel to get than what I would get back. So in the bin it goes haha
Great plan btw 
I got $12.40 for the rest of the shell I didn’t want.
A section of the floor and the fuel tank have gone to a metre who will fabricate me a new tank from 3 mm aluminium. I’m hoping to gain 5 to 10 litres and an internal surge pot for the high pressure pump.
I had a break through with Fusion 360 but am using Tinkercad to align the parts together.
I have been busy, and while this isn’t done yet. Once its printed in aluminium, I will complete the manifold with aluminium sheet metal.
