that quad body will still sound pretty mean.good luck man im not and electronic anything man so im out hahah In all honesty, I like old school, I even have a set of quad 40mm Kei-Khin motorbike carbies (similar to the SU carbies) which I'm going to adapt to the Astron engine. I had (20yrs ago) a se...

I want that crank! It only cost $300 to get the crank ground. 2.8 is pretty huge for turbo, unless you want super crazy boost power N/A would still be amazing in a 2.8.if it was me i would go n/a as i love the sound of twin side draughts and if your just using it for casual driving to turn heads it...

Just got my crank back for my 2.8L Astron and I'm trying to decide whether to go turbo or not. http://users.tpg.com.au/backman/SG/STROKER/STROKE-01.jpg It currently weighs 17.6kg I'll be using the Arrow 6.4" rods which weigh 529g, the standard 6.535" rods are 830g. As you can see from the ...

i had to do the same. took about 30 secs It took me quite a bit longer, still waiting on my workshop to be built so I only had a hacksaw, a few files and a dremel. PS: when starting the car (if you have hydraulic rockers) make sure the rocker cover is on. I forgot about the oil bleeders in the rock...

HoonBoy, correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought a "Tachometric relay" works off the coil signal, and is used in vehicles on LPG to kill the gas flow when the engine isn't running but the ignition is on. Exactly - which is what you want (ie. when the engine stops running, the fuel stops pu...

When you install the later Magna oil pumps, one thing you have to do is modify the front timing cover. The oil pump has a "silent shaft" chain tensioner which will hit on the webbing on the oil pump side of the timing cover. If you removed the tensioner and plugged the oil hole, you probab...

Tachymetric relay, it's designed for what you want and used in LPG setups. Either an auto electrician or LPG installer will have one. HoonBoy, correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought a "Tachometric relay" works off the coil signal, and is used in vehicles on LPG to kill the gas flow when t...

do those ten bolt diffs all have disc brake rear? and are the discs vented do you know? All the 10 bolt diffs are solid disc. You can swap the rear starion calipers and discs on with minimal fuss. From memory, the only thing I had to do was swap the handbrake end support from the standard caliper t...

ten bolt diffs? what did they come in? scorp have read all sigma wags have them? random?what can you tell me? Scorpions from GH onwards havt the 10 bolt Mitsubishi diffs (NOT B/W) Some sigma's did have them but I couldn't tell you which ones. I'm not sure the wagons ever had a Mitsubishi diff, but ...

PS: My GN Wagon has a Holley 280 which runs VERY rich on idle :$ Found out today why I could smell un-burnt petrol while I was idling (that is why I thought it was running rich). In my hurry to put on the Holley, I had forgotten to block the return line. A drive on nice hot day, park the car, then ...

The jets are 135 and 220 One thing to be careful of is someone may have "drilled out" your idle jets. Can you get hold of another set of jets and compare them? REMEMBER, the Idle circuit is active even when the main jets kick in. You have to tune the Idle first before you tinker with the ...

i was told that you can still use the ecu but use resistors in the injector harness? is this okay to do? NO...... If you put a resistor in line with the low impedance injector, it would act more like a high impedance injector (ie: it would take longer to switch on) or not switch on at all. High Imp...

How much do you reckon the shaft has been lengthened under the pivot point ? I'm in Brisbane ATM, When I get back, I'll remove it and take a few pics. So as i read, this will fit a wide Jap 5sp out of a starion?? Correct. The Short shifter was designed for the US Starion which has the hydraulic KM1...

How thick is the spacer under the pivot point There isn't a "Spacer". He has raised the pivot point AND lengthened the shaft under the pivot point. how long is the throw from 1st to 2nd ? 8cm The shifter isn't a standard shifter that has been modified, they are built from scratch. Cheers.

would this fit a 5 speed siggy jap box too? heard there fairly similar It will fit the later KM132 gearboxes with the longer extension housings (GJ onwards and starion) just wondering if anyones actuallly bought one of these? just wondering if there any good, I have and I would recommend it. Cheers.

1st - 48hrs impounded 2nd - 3 months impounded 3rd time round - car confiscated Very Dangerous for the police (and public) the third time round. A bit like when they said they would crush the car while the offender looked on. Give some people an opportunity where they stand to gain more by attempti...

The standard mounting points were removed so I modified a standard TR fuel rail to fit.
One end also had to be cut otherwise it would have hit the thermostat housing.

There is very little you need to do and it's all in the mounting of the Staz clutch pedal.

Here is the old post.

Ooooo the quad TB idea sounds sweet. The toyota setup sounds the buisiness. I was quite interested in doing that too but the $$$ put me off a little. For the time being anyway. I made a set of Quads for the Magna heads a while ago. http://users.tpg.com.au/backman/SG/Q01.jpg The Throttle bodies are ...

is it possible to get a carby manifold for these babys?.. Not as far as I know. Someone on the site has a Twincam with carbies but I think think the manifoldwas fabricated. im keen on mucking around with one in this coupe if i get it but i dont want any silly electrics shit, i wana try make it carb...

I was going to ask how it compared in weight to the Fidanza racing flywheel in the US, but then I noticed you already weighed it :$ My brother designs flywheels and multi-plate clutches for NPC Performance . He "DISLIKES INTENTLY" aluminium flywheels, and as Cheater will tell you, you can...

I'm in a similar situation. Just bought a '91 GSR Galant with a 2.0L Twincam N/A motor for $600 off EBay. Had a "Faulty gearbox TCU" which turned out to be $5 worth of Electrolytic capacitors and about 1-hour of my time to repair the corroded tracks. It too is going to be a daily ride and ...

Check the dimmer. It wouldn't explain the tail lights but that could explain why the dash lights stopped working.

I have always used Shell Rimula-X Diesel oil.
Keeps the engine clean to boot because it has a high detergent content as well.

Most likely the electric motor is stuffed because: 1. The bearings are stuffed, not letting the armature spin freely. 2. There is some debris in the fan stopping it spinning . 3. The commutator's all clagged up causing a direct short across several of the windings. 4. Some of the windings have short...

The only problem with going down the path of fitting starion stuts/brakes etc is the availability of new rotors. We rally a Starion and I tried chasing up new front rotors (standard and slotted) and none of the major suppliers (RDA, DBA, Silverline etc etc) carry stock or will specially order EBAY ...

Bought my GN Wagon about a year ago for $350 (with 4 months rego). It did have a cracked head but I replaced it with a $200 reco'd M7 I had lying around.
It hasn't missed a beat although the carby could do with a reco.
