What about running a sigma radiator + an oil cooler?

Thats what the g54bt Starion guys do in the US.
On the starquestclub forums you'll notice they use oil coolers more often than upgrading the radiator, but thats probably because they're all factory turbo.

what does a harmonic balancer actually involve? It may be worth incorporating into my design as long as its not too complex. Also noone seemed to notice 1 major flaw I have.. I picked up the factory pulley from the supercharger the other day and counted 8 ribs, not 6. I wonder if anyone has tried pu...

scorpion diff - 3.308:1

Assuming the same gearbox ratios (usually is) I think it should get ~2700rpm at highway speed

Dont ask me how to make it fit though, can't say I've tried.

Another thing that not many people consider, is it depends greatly on how you drive You can cruise around in a loud powerful machine and a standard old jap box no worries.. but if you like to sit at traffic lights revving it in neutral then jamming it into 3rd with no clutch, its not going to be so ...

if your engine is 2.0L or previously automatic - Narrowblock Jap 5spd If your engine is a 2.6L MANUAL already - Wideblock Jap 5spd They are the best bolt-ins you get without modification, just need the original crossmember from your old box.. assuming you have one If you already have a jap box and i...

If it moves and it shouldn't, duct tape
It it doesn't move and it should, WD40

anything else - use a hammer
if not.. try a bigger hammer

As some of you may know I'm in the process of building a supercharged 2.6, using an Eaton M90 (from a 3.8L Ford Thunderbird Supercoupe) The m90 6-rib pulleys are easily available in a range of 2.4" to 3.8" for every 0.1". If I have a 4.8" pulley on the crank and 3.8" on the ...

What about just locking up the mechanical advance?

only time thats in effect is high rpm, and its rare that you'll be at high rpm without boost


Isn't the ideal way, but I'm sure its been done a few times as a cheap alternative

I vote go ahead, but not necessarily efi 2.6.
For drag racing its the most 'bang for your buck' that you can possibly get from these cars.. but I'd rather see something slightly more unusual

jeez i hate to break up the dreaming and bad advise but mate if you dont know the differance forget it now before it costs you more money ps hyd cam are for girls get a man cam cheers stealth :o I think the point here.. is whats the difference in the actual camshaft The camshaft doesnt change, only...

I wouldnt think there is any difference between mechanical and hydraulic lifters

The cam lobes/rockers still run on the same type of slipper bearing surface and theres no reason why it would have different timing

Nice work so far.. I find the gearbox part especially interesting. You say you used an l200 driveshaft, which I believe uses a 2L Jap box, but different spline to other jap boxes. Yet you have a 2.6L jap box. Or is it a narrowblock with the 2L box? I've confused myself again just trying to figure it...

So how is the lower balance shaft removed (the one that ISNT behind the oil pump)?

I got the one out of the oil pump simply by unbolting everything i saw and it slid out, the other one though is sealed in, with a welsh plug on the other end. Does the plug need to be removed?

The plan is to have it sitting in the space between the headers and strut tower.. I'll get some sort of heat shield to go over the headers which will provide some protection at least. Trying to keep it all under the bonnet too. See I wanted to use a 45DCOE weber on an eaton M90 supercharger, when co...

Cool thanks, I knew it had to be something simple.. I've just never seen a power steering setup on these cars before


I was thinking of using them to mount a bracket for holding up my supercharger

I'm just wondering what these 4 bolt holes are used for:



I can't seem to find any pictures where its being used for anything other than a lift point when using an engine crane

These kind.. so normal thread length and no worries about having dangerously long studs

Dont know, and it isn't stamped inside them

Front's 8" 235/45 Rear's 9" 235/45 (so completely legal of course )

25mm spacers on all 4

http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c232/DCypher_03/NiceRimsBro.jpg Except sold the twin webers.. Have acquired a sigma turbo inlet+crossover, boost retarding dizzy and an Eaton M90 supercharger so far Still need a 45 DCOE Weber, crank pully, belt.. some niggly bits like a hobbs switch for pressure r...

So just curiously.. was it as astron 1 head with astron 2 rocker cover?

Or did you custom fit the inlet onto an astron 2 head?



PS: I think you should sell that weber to me

So......... back burner eh?

does that mean you'd sell it?


I CALL FIRST DIBS

ok now get a pic of them with tyres, and on the car

Well I'm gonna have to change my vote to Saturday unfortunately because I just got invited to a family birthday/skirmish day on the Sunday

If there's anyone out there Saturday hopefully I'll find ya, otherwise have fun

Those ones you highlighted are for the water flow, the small hole on that side means rear wheel drive only (thermostat at the front) The main difference between astron 1 and 2 heads is the bolt pattern of the inlet manifold. You'll notice on the back edge (closer to rear of motor) the astron 1 has b...

My '81 GJ Scorp with twin weber'd 2.6
11.252 on the 1/8.

Absolutely no grip whatsoever, wouldnt rev high and is rather pitiful

It'll be better next time

I'm very interested on what jets you have in the weber and what psi its running + anything else thats different from stock

Also have you ever had problems not running an air filter? (assuming there isnt foam type filters inside the ram tubes)

Cheers,
Chris

Either day works for me

Except I cooked the bike yesterday sitting at traffic lights in brisbane and destroyed the battery, hopefully I can get a new one soon.

I've got a GJ scorpion, 3.308 in the service manual.. but I recently counted the teeth on the gears and got ~3.2 (counted 3 times because I knew it wasnt right..)

According to the manual 3.308 is the lowest they come in, no matter what country or gearbox.

I'm 2 hours south west in woop woop *cough* i mean Warwick :mrgreen: I would love to see everyones siggy's, only I'd be touring on my bike as the scorpion is still yet to receive a working motor/box combination I have a dead 2.6 in pieces, and a good 2.6 gearbox.. Working 2L with 2 x 2L gearboxes, 1...

L67 conversion:
aka use that Buick 3800 and shove an M90 supercharger on it

I've got one of these chargers arriving in the mail in a couple days, but for a 2.6 wideblock
