Someone please correct me if I am wrong, but from what I have seen, the belt drive engines have another water port between the 3rd and 4th intake runners. http://www.rpw.com.au/shop/components/com_virtuemart/shop_image/product/27906747fdfce79bdc22e6a45924d416.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3599/...

You can get 0.5mm aluminium from Bunnings. I have got 3mm aluminium from Paramount Browns, and they have up to 13mm.

Not overspray, but I did it on purpose. Just thought it would look interesting if one of the tips of the blades was blue when it went round and round. As for the metal work, it doesn't look as good close up. Once it has been neatened up, it'll be better. At the moment I am using some tin snips, a ha...

Cleaned up and painted some stuff to put back into the car. http://i620.photobucket.com/albums/tt288/Cottees/Sigma/IMG_3850_zps34ce25b1.jpg http://i620.photobucket.com/albums/tt288/Cottees/Sigma/IMG_3851_zps5bb112dd.jpg http://i620.photobucket.com/albums/tt288/Cottees/Sigma/IMG_3861_zpsf92e9ef3.jpg ...

This is a prime example of why the forums are awesome. A place to share and learn :thumpsup: As for the difficulty of doing the capacitor replacement, the hardest part I found was the de-soldering part. I was using the soldering iron + de-solder braise. When putting the new caps in, it is pretty eas...

Cottees, are those new capacitors a different value to the old or just smaller physically?? thanks cheers The only differences is the physical size and heat rating. The old ones were 85C I think, and the new ones are 105C. At the time I didn't realise that caps came in various sizes for the same va...

The article seems to be just the guy trying to make people think that only he can repair ECUs, and justify the high price for doing so. The age isn't a real problem if looked after properly. Capacitors can be dodgy, but if replaced, will continue to work well. I have a computer from 1983 that still ...

Havn't dismantled it, but should still be in there.

It is cheap Export Chrome Paint. No idea how long it'll last, but for now, it looks awesome!

I took the rocker cover off to clean it up. I didn't bother taking the shield off. Once off, I got a good view of how the shield also is in front of the spark plugs. http://i620.photobucket.com/albums/tt288/Cottees/Sigma/IMG_3818_zps0c7cf949.jpg http://i620.photobucket.com/albums/tt288/Cottees/Sigma...

It's a standard post-86 Sigma Astron 2 that came with a air injection on top, and a cat converter underneath.

http://i620.photobucket.com/albums/tt288/Cottees/Sigma/IMG_3804_zps7e7374da.jpg Got a little more done to the GN today. Moved some stuff around to fit better and neatened other parts up. Keep at it,it looks like it is coming together well ...I like your tech drawing..but your penmanship resembles y...

I have set mine up for a TR/TS manual, and either ECU worked. Better to be safe and set it up for manual, and use a manual ECU etc.

Ok, every one, this is a build thread, NOT a discussion thread. Stay on topic about the build, in a civil manner, or I will be issuing bans for abuse. If you don't agree/like this build, or certain motor sports, you don't have to voice your opinion about it. If you want to voice your opinion about i...

Tried out painting the nose cone black to see what it would look like. http://i620.photobucket.com/albums/tt288/Cottees/Sigma/IMG_3753_zps98f59ec6.jpg I have moved the placement of the MAF and filter as I made a mistake with the heat shield. http://i620.photobucket.com/albums/tt288/Cottees/Sigma/IMG...

I only ever buy from Caltex, but run my GN with TR/TS EFI off ULP and it runs well. The ECU is meant to be able to also run on PULP 95, but have yet to test it out. The only car I have had issues with is the LC, but that is cause the compression is way too high for ULP. I run that off Caltex Vortex ...

I forget who put it up , but it looks so simple. It was me, and it is simple. That diagram only shows what was modified to connect the Sigma loom to the TR/TS magna engine loom. The rest of the wires from the ECU are as standard. For more in-depth about it, check out my GN build thread, link in my ...

I need the efi link!

Looks like there is an issue there. Not too sure what is up with it. Which specific link are you after?

In a GE/GH yes you would have to shorten the runners, or use a TN/TP intake. For a GJ-GN, it will fit completely unmodified. Usual mod is to bring the throttle body to the front of the plenum and the thermostat housing to the front of the intake. Or like GB_BB4C, just move the throttle body. Or like...

The sump gasket I bought was too big.... ...I made it fit. FFR.. Magna or GN sump gasket would have worked fine for they both are narrow Astron ENGINES, which are different to Narrow BLOCK Astron engines (referring to the bell housing size). I got the one that Sprint had listed under the GN 1987, a...

I am not sure if they were released with one, but could make up a custom gauge. I am thinking of making one to show air/fuel ratio to replace the ammeter.

Before someone says "Use the search feature" and I'd be forced to ban them, the best I can find is this. What I am looking for is one that is in better condition.

Does anyone have a good clean photo of the side decal that was on the Scorpions? Also know the measurements for it? I am planning on making reproduction decals, and have yet to find a good photo of the decal to work from.

In my GN, I have a BW40. For the kickdown, I attached a steel cable from the kickdown cable from the trans, and hooked the other end to the standard TR/TS throttle body. I can't find a pic of that at the moment. It worked well, till that cable snapped. http://i620.photobucket.com/albums/tt288/Cottee...

I am not too sure how much my G52B/4G52 head has been shaved since it has been done a couple times, but the height of the combustion chamber is 16.1mm. That along with oversized pistons worked well with a compression ratio of 11.4:1.

Short answer is probably not. I have yet to actually try and fit one, but I'd say it would be a tight squeeze. Where the steering box and steering column join would be very close to the firewall. If that clears ok, you would need to shorten the steering column as well. If it wont fit, I have read so...

Yep, Commodore V8 owners take them. The HSV V8s uses the same Bosch 0-280-150-775 injectors as the TR/TS Magnas. They use them as a cheap upgrade to their cars.

In Japan, it would of been a Mitsubishi Galant 2000.

Cut out a little more out of the timing chain cover, and it sits much nicer now.


Good girl, drink up all your apple cider!
