Yeah that betting pool probably wasn't a good idea.. Considering we can see each others cars on this website and with all the same engines its pretty easy to tell whos gonna be faster by what they've done to it. Mid may sounds pretty good for a time so far. I'm hoping I'll be back on the road either...

i have also seen this and figured was the gen 3 factory warrenty to suit both 1 and two available from mitsi factory to this day but thay want like $4000 for a bottom end cheers stealth 8-) 4 grand? jesus Better off just doing a custom job cutting and rewelding a new pattern.. Or even better - use ...

I've seen one of those multifits too, on a 2L Also.. The replacement engine I'm putting in my car (old one is only engine mounts away from coming out.. pieces everywhere :roll: ).. its an astron 2, narrow block REAR wheel drive with a jap 5spd But its a different jap 5spd to the one I had behind my ...

What if I just said we have enough info already and stopped

seriously with the amount of stuff in the last few posts it'd crowd up the info to a point where its just as confusing as its always been

Oh dear god why did I start this


[edit]: and why is there a post from me quoting me and nothing more? i didn't do that

*deleted*

mate i just wrecked a tn magna 88 model with electric fuel pump and astron 2 has different oil pump to astron 1 also have a triton engine here 1990 has a m16 head and the dizzy are different all the way througjt the years how tecnical are we getting cheers stealth 8-) As long as I can add it to the...

Doesn't bother me if its nitty gritty :P The whole idea is to collaborate all the information we can possibly gather for all 2.6L astrons ever made and sticky it That way noone will need to ask for info about factory configurations. If it needs to go as far as listing mitsubishi genuine part numbers...

Might I just add.. one who knows sigmas and does NOT charge 3 times more than average :P I spoke to a local builder here and he said it was something like $2840 for the most basic rebuild with all stock parts. I'm not sure what the going rate is exactly but it seemed a bit excessive considering ther...

Cheers for that, numbers have been updated accordingly and I will be placing references next to each update with the member who suggested it.

I also did some research on the ford and mazda 2.6's.. info updated at the bottom of the post

Brilliant idea that is.. And if we wanted, could even do a private betting pool.. all put in $20-50 whatever then do the test and tune Compare time slips afterward and winner takes all Just an idea for a bit of fun :P Only problem is if 1 person shows up with efi turbo and the rest of us are all N/A...

I know this was (partly) covered on the old site but I think it should be collaborated together into ALL the noticable differences and then stickied or something like that.. I'll start with a little bit but I'm hoping we can build it up quickly enough, and please correct anything I got wrong.. Astro...

Thought about it.. need some decent numbers for it to be worthwhile though

Would be great if we can

stealth wrote: and from experance welded cranks dont like more than 9 to 1 comp
no turbo no gas and no alcohol

But thats where all the fun is meant to be..

Not worth it without a big charger to get it revving quickly, not for drags anyway

Would probably still be good for a streeter

180hp? our factory scorpions/sapporos were lucky to get 110hp, and I'm not sure if they ever did

110 = 81kw and I think that was the 1st gen magnas
astron 1 being 79kw factory I think

Haven't been to wiki in a while..

So that would be a combination of stroked and bored to reach ~2.95, yes? Because I've seen a few with standard stroke bored out to ~2.8 So its still possible to get some decent displacement figures.. even if 3.5 from a stroker isn't possible :roll: I just love the thought of a 4cyl engine topping 3L

I wonder how you would get a job teaching this - sounds and easy course to teach You could contact the tafe and find out if you want, Dean only started this year because Doug Patterson (last name?) retired last year if you are going to S/Charge you would be running through multi point fuel injectio...

Can you let us know what was involved setting up the SC14?

It looks like a drawthrough setup but can't really tell in the pic.. would love to hear how it sounds though

The course is called Motorsport, Cert III, IV and Diploma Its just all the basics of mechanics as well as welding, fabrication, operating in motorsport environments etc. I started like 6-7 weeks ago so I'm doing Cert III and Dean is (currently) teaching us fasteners (thread tapping, identifying, bol...

personaly i wouldnt use a tighe cam (been down that road what a waste of cash) come to think of it i wouldnt use one if ivan tighe himself paid me just buy a cam from crow or i use camtech if im try to be tight the best cams on the market a crower and or comp cams cheers stealth 8-) I find this a l...

Could someone give me the factory specs of an astron 2.6 camshaft? Or even specs of an aftermarket one with the result of that profile. I'm having one custom made cheaply by my tafe teacher, Dean Tighe from Tighe Cams.. and he just needs some background information to start off with.. I'm only wanti...

I would say I'm looking forward to it.. but I know its just going to crush my dreams

In my opinion, the engine wouldn't rev well but if it was turbo'd, it would be good. Thats pretty much what I was thinking, would be good to increase the torque by about 30% straight up, but would need a bit of a push to get it revving. Considering turbos usually work better from higher rpm I'd say...

Now that's interesting..
Never seen a Sigma like it

But it says "Galant ∑" on the back and the steering wheel/guages look to be sigmaesque

Also front wheel drive too.. unless the engine is just a wee bit crooked

Except he also gave me the name of the shop he reckons he got it from..

Maybe I should ask them what its all about?

Ok I lied in my last post when I said final one for the night


Before everyone starts doing this, please note: 'formerly' is the correct spelling


And I, DragonCypher was formerly known as DragonCypher think you can remember that?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dihi-_96Qus&fmt=18 As you will see there.. he has twin 45's and a 3.5L stroker in a 2.6 astron. Reckons it makes about 200kw N/A And for those with slow internet/cbf waiting :P 1m15s he gives details on engine 2m23s he stalls it :roll: .. cold engine 2m56s (I thin...
