Inner comes out with phillips screws.. Then the outer should roll as normal, just dont expect the inner to fit anymore And you might wanna have some paint handy to touch up the cracks from rolling Also can I ask why you want to roll the guards? I was thinking of taking a cutting wheel to mine and sl...

down at repco they have about 5 different astron gasket kits. all different codes, for different cars etc, but same kit one i got was a mitsubishi canter 2.6L (cheapest), and it has every single variation of old/new 4g52/4 and even some which look like 4g63. despite how much the repco guy argued dif...

Have you checked to make sure the car has headlights installed? :geek: But seriously there is a relay type plug thing in the top corner of the engine bay right behind the driver side headlight.. if someone was playing around it could have been bumped I managed to rip mine out when removing the radia...

.... If you drill the rear and get it in the right place none of the drilling crosses the other holes. .... How does that work? I have wheels which are drilled for both 4 and 5 stud x 114.3.. And 1 hole is used for both patterns, and in 2 other occurances, holes are touching with about 20% overlap

Why not go for an alternate axle in the rear? Like an XE/F Falcon Diff (140mm wider, but can be shortened) or Skyline diff.. I know the R31 is only 60mm wider, but I'm fairly sure they're 4 stud, can't quite remember. Either way there are countless options, redrilling could even work too.. just not ...

That means they probably will fit But thats doesn't mean I'd recommend it.. With the amount of different wheel sizes and offsets and widths available, its hard to tell even WITH all the numbers. You're best bet is if they're local enough.. drive out and trial fit one on the front of your car. If it ...

Option 3: 2.6L + 5spd


And yes I am aware I will get much criticism for that

Maybe the zero reading is just misaligned?

Like when you stop the car its trying to say NEGATIVE 20-30 but the stopper at zero would make it look like it does nothing

I'd suggest having a look at the back of it to see if its adjustable

Can anyone give me the ratio's of a 4spd borg warner box off a 2L GE Sigma?
Didn't grab the speedo cable so I'm thinking I can judge speed by rpm instead

For anyone interested the jap 5spd from a GJ scorpion:
1st 3.369
2nd 2.035
3rd 1.360
4th 1.000
5th 0.856

Rev 3.635

well then.. in that case i see no reason why it wouldnt work

still like to hear lethal's opinion though, having so much experience with nos

I cant help with experience, but I know the theories behind it.. the sole purpose of nitrous is to increase oxygen in the airfuel mixture by itself would not increase power.. mixed with an increase in fuel flow to accomodate the oxygen - is where the power is Being carby it probably wouldn't measure...

Just another word of wisdom for ya, if you still wanna go through with the rear mount turbo.. it'd probably be better to have it either infront of the diff, or in the boot with the exhaust re-routed up through the floor. (and ventillate the boot obviously..) The reason I say this is (at least on the...

ok well after some messing around we determined the ignition DOES switch off with the key, however its the alternator which is still providing power to the engine.. On a spare alternator there is 1 ring terminal and 2 blade terminals, 1 wire with ring attachment, 1 wire with blade we figured the bla...

ciggy lighter is stooged.. never worked and whilst the car has been on the hoist at tafe it has run flat a few times (we have plug innable wall chargers) so it very well could be shorting somewhere But being old, and gone through a fair few owners.. finding the culprit wire could be difficult.. ther...

Hijack time :D Ok I just put a 4g52 L200 motor in my scorp with a 4spd chrysler sigma borgy behind it Its in, its running.. its smokey :lol: I can turn the ignition off, and pull out the key, and it keeps running permanently, and is still drivable Have to either block the air intake and choke it (th...

It's not something many people would bother opening up.. I'd suggest trying to find a replacement from a wrecker or something if its too bad, professional repair would be costly too, as with most things. Surely someone has had experience though, so just hope they find this thread :P and please show ...

I think that this sort of logic will fall on deaf ears :roll: The guy is talking 10's of thousands of dollars doing weird and wonderful things to his Scorp, and then goes and buys a $50 gearbox :lol: I don't see a problem with that, he already said he had the money and was willing to pour it in. Ot...

Someone else suggested the same thing, but I got the engine/box alone as is with no ute to be seen (got rear ended before internals were removed apparently)

and no L200's at the local wreckers so I'm going to swap the boxes over.
both narrowblock so hopefully that will go to plan

Ok so I found it.. thats Dave Stillwell, or "stilly" as he's known to everyone at tafe Graduated last year and doesn't go there anymore... AND everyone thinks he's a tool :P If you mention you want to race in a particular series, he will recite the entire CAMS rules and regulations for hal...

I still havent opened my latest Road Ahead.. but when I get home today I'll check it out It's SUPPOSED to be a good course, and the end results and opportunities are well worth it.. only the organisation and methods of teaching is where the downfall is So much standing around doing nothing, my car i...

both 5spd's are jap boxes ignore the sig, I was told I was getting an Astron 1 2.6 w/borgy.. turns out it was a 2.0L L200 ute motor with narrow jap 5spd and most (if not all) bolt on attachments were broken, starter motor, dizzy, fuel pump, air con pump, alternator.. you get the idea So the one that...

Good to see someone has some faith in me :) has any1 seen this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0sE-YMetbM&feature=channel turbo using the original non turbo carby :o wonder if he made that manifold for it or jus bought it. See theres an example of (almost) what I was planning to do. Blow throug...

Matey, I think the last thing you need to do is mod the engine. Something tells me :roll: that without a suspension and brake upgrade, you will not see many more Birthdays. Even just a lowly suck thru can make the car bloody dangerous with standard suspension. And then there is the gearbox and diff...

Now I know the Jap 5spd boxes come in both narrow and wideblock variations, but should there be different splines in the back end too? The old motor had a narrow 5spd on it from a magna (so I'm led to believe) and now with an L200 ute narrow 5spd it wont fit the tail shaft.. havent bothered to actua...

Is that what happens when you leave the water pump on tha back of a magna engine?

gee if you want bottom end torque for a tow car and streeter a turbo will make more than a stroker for less money as ASTRON HEADS DONT FLOW and strocker wont rev you cant have everything you know :evil: cheers stealth 8-) I never said stroking was cost effective, and I remember saying it's only wor...

In terms of drag racing, it'd be going backwards.. As a few of us have said already it wont rev up too quickly at all But combined with a strong driveline and really sticky big tyres it'd pull some impressive wheelstands and takeoffs in general. Would also be good for a streeter as it'd have a towin...

Sorry but can you explain that one a little better for me? To fit in the scorp the gear lever bolts onto the box RIGHT above the shroud covering the driveshaft.. new box is a few inches away But I was also under the impression that I couldnt swap over the mounts that the lever bolts onto, since it w...

the input shaft or the gear shift ? the scorps / starion and late sigmas had an extention to the gear shift that moved the gear shift about 3" back The part on the box where the gear lever goes into is 2-3" forward, so we're definitely thinking of the same thing.. But I cant just change t...

Well I've (finally) got the old engine out of the car.. only to find the input shaft location on the L200 jap 5spd is about 2 inches further to the front of the car than a TN magna jap 5spd (or whatever one was attached to my TN motor :P) The box mount is wrong too, but thats fixable.. If the input ...
