Re: Turbo: pros and cons

its only going to be as reliable as the quality parts you put into it and how its built. having 300+hp is great, but is it going to be drivable or are you going to have to get the revs up for it to be able to move. things you need to consider before going ahead and building something like this.

Correction to this.
Astron 1 has adjustable rockers and are to be used with the Cam, unless the cam is designed to be used with hydraulic or roller/hydraulic rockers.

Re: Alternator wiring in la lancer

there is a second wire coming out of the plug on the alt regulator that needs power going to it (blue and white wires from memory). this "turns on" the alternator like a switch when power is applied to make the circuit for charging.

Re: Gsr boot lip on a GE

There is a 35mm difference in the width of the boot lid's between a GE/H and GJ/K/N. so it will overhang 17.5mm either side of the car overall.

Re: Custom headers

alternatively go to the wreckers and buy a set of extractors and where the middle join is, cut it off and add some pipe on to make them full length with a 4-1 collector down the bottom. just be sure to clear all steering components.
