Dear Customer

Continuing on from our phone conversation please see attached some info that may be of interest to you.

I can offer you two x MkII TBI-34 and will machine them both so they have the Stromberg two bolt pattern (same as in my 202 videos).
These can be mounted sideways as the TBI is not attitude sensitive.

Note:
1. You do not have to be fiddling with the mixture all the time, in fact you can just set it a nice spot and leave it.  The metering regulator takes care of the rest.
2. Some folks think this unit cannot be used through the rev range or "on / off"  like in a car because aircraft are running at a constant speed?  This is entirely incorrect as the TBI does not know what sort of engine its bolted to and responds better than any carb I've ever used.  The tiny holes offer an almost perfect progression of fuel delivery better than any one single jet or tapered needle.
3.  Aerobatic aircraft are generally very high performance engines and they are constantly on and off the throttle.  Our TBI unit is used in many competition aerobatic aircraft.
4. Fuel can be any petrol.  Avgas or Unleaded no issues.  Ethanol best kept below 15 %.

I can do you two MkII TBI-34 with two bolt Stromberg pattern for just AUD $xxx (sales@rotecaerosport.com)  all up with FREE shipping in Oz.  I'm looking to get these on more cars and bikes to show others what can be done.  These TBI would be a race tuners wet dream as its like having a pocket full of 1,000 jets that you can install and test in an instant while on the fly.
Two of these units will look sharp on your 179.

Please see my PayPal money request for the two units.

That's the most responsive 202 I've ever seen

As a young boy my father got my mother to drive us down leaving my older brothers and sister behind to Cowra, to fix or Holden station wagon, which he only just bought a brand new HK holden Kingswood Premier Sedan. Dad fixed it in a paddack under a great gum tree with the tools he brought from home. Dad got it started and drove it back to Sydney. My mother made me cry as a young child by saying, "its going home to die". My Father sold that car for $500 and later much later I saw the old COV503 at a car rally in front of NSW Parliament House, and yes it had a Red motor not the Grey. My father is still alive with us at the date of this comment at the age of 94, and still moves with confidence and tells all the great stories of his life, I love him to bits.

Hi just reminiscing from my  old torana  days and  found your 202 rebuild  very impressed with your assembling and your  need for perfection  which isn't seen to often these day's

These engines are very similar if not the same as the 3294cc straight-six ohv engines used in the British Vauxhall Cresta (1965 until 1972) and the Vauxhall FD series Ventora (1967 to 1972) and the FE series Ventora (1972 to 1978). The layout seems identical, but it was never a popular car and no upgrades were ever offered for it as far as I remember. I heard the engine was derived from the smaller Bedford trucks.
But what Oz has done with these is amazing. 🙂

I love the simplicity of these old engines, broken down? a handful of tools and you can do anything to fix it.

Great to see the 202 getting some tlc

Mmmm ... graphite rope rear mains seal ... that took me back  to my apprenticeship days ... always install dry with a little oil in the seal groove ... then using the wooden handle of your favourite fitters hammer  you massage the seal well down into its groove ... then with a very sharp blade trim the rope to be about 1 or 2 mm proud above the block/main brg cap surface and then fit off .. the idea is that when the engine runs oil will make the rope swell and seal the rear main brg. to suit ... the 'knurl' on the crank is as  MoogZ  (below) suggests  to drive excess oil back into the crankcase/sump ... very common system on 'ye olde motors'  ....

Best Holden motor back then I rebuilt on in may garage less then a days work replaced the head with yellow Terra head super fast with a 3speed box long live the kingswoods

The "knurl" on the crank is angled to drive the oil back into the crankcase.

We had the 3.3 over here in the UK too great motors

Now that's a sound I haven't heard in a long while. She's a beaut.

I remember I went for a ride in a Holden XU1 Torana that a friend raced at club events. It was super quick and set up for racing with the triple carb setup etc.

I don't understand why people waste their time with carburettors. You're building a solid motor, so put an EFI manifold on it with 6 injectors, a ball raced GT25 Garrett turbo and manifold on the other side, with a wide duration camshaft, forged pistons & rods with a Haltech ECU and easily double with safe, reliable horsepower and have something unique! It's what I have done with all my builds. It can be all built to look close to standard.

I Put a Holden 202 in a series two landrover back in the day. The landrover diffs were a bit weak and I replaced a couple of those when I owned it but it performed very well.

Later I got an old early model 80” wheel base landrover and put in a Holden 253 v8, turbo 350 trans, power steering and limited slip diff unit out of a falcon which I  shoehorned into the landrover carrier. It was a beast on the beach and on the sand dunes.

Like a swiss watch noice! sounds great takes me back to my youth thats for sure, although my first engine was in a HT with a 186 in it great car $700.00 in 1976 (rusted bottoms on the front guards) those were the days!

Looking for the running in sign. Just  keep it around 35 mph for the first week. Nice job.

“let’s slap it”

yanks would never say that lol

made the video!

G'day mate, no technical comments or questions just wanted to say love the ice-cream container for storing bits and pieces. Bet you did that in the old shed at home growing up.

Nice to see a 6 build instead of a LS and so on👌🇦🇺
