By the looks of the burn marks on the bonnet and the melted brake reservoir, I would be inclined to believe a fuel line wasn't clamped on properly.

Petrol sprayed all round the engine bay and was ignited by the turbo, which in turn lit everything up.

Just an educated guess.

Cheers.

I'm not 100% sure how to read these graphs but since a 2.6L engine uses approx 1.3L per revolution, are you sure your calculations are correct?


Cheers.

I Like it..

Buy 4 of these and you can have 1 of these...

Use an IMPACT SCREWDRIVER.
This Item
BUT
buy it at Bunnings for about $20.

You hit one end with the hammer which both jars the screw and turns it slightly.

(heating it will also help)

Cheers.

I dont think it would be variable. Thats what would happen if you didnt have a regulator. It would be a constant voltage. so the gauges always receive the same voltage no matter what is happeneing with the battery or charging circuit. My guess would be 9v. To clarify. The VARIABLE VOLTAGE REGULATOR...

If you know what voltage it is supposed to be, the regulators are easy to choose. LM78xx (where xx is the voltage required). They require at least a 2.7v difference to regulate properly. Most likely it will be a 9v regulator. Jaycar part numbers are: STOCK-CODE: ZV1505 RRP: $1.65 7805 +5V 1A Voltage...

From memory the M8 has a kidney shaped section to "SWIRL" the gasses to improve emissions, but I believe it does reduce the flow a bit compared to the M6 and M7 magna heads. The M8 head would still be alot better than a standard Astron I head. DON'T FORGET the inlet manifold bolt pattern a...

DO a lot of reading on this site . Starion block and gearbox (wide Block). Starion Clutch pedal and master cylinder assembly. VR4 twincam head. RVR CAS (on the front cog instead of the VR4 CAS on the back of the head). Install the hydraulic clutch (not hard at all) Modify the water pump webbing so t...

The Starion seats and rails bolt straight into a GJ Scorp with no modification.
The seat also sits lower, which is good for me because I'm over 6'.

Cheers.

While these aren't the same style of rim, these 17" x 7.5 Rims are 4x114.3 and +25 offset.

Very close to what you would need and legal.

Cheers.

4 Coils on the right (wasted spark?). Fuel rail and injectors are at the bottom of the inlet manifold. High Pressure fuel regulator just near it. Not sure about the dizzy, possibly TP. Interesting Throttle body and dog-leg. Disconnected Aircon hoses at the firewall. Chrysler body (3 bolt strut top)....

http://img2.imageshack.us/img2/5336/wastegate.jpg Part of my trouble is that they dont match up 100%. and the sealing surface is very thin at the top and bottom. Only a couple of mm. Is the Wastegate flange steel or cast iron? If it's steel, is there any reason you couldn't build up that section by...

It would be a tad difficult to change the gap...

Cheers.

Hey guys, i have a 88 triton with 2.6 series 2, just wondering if the gear box is the same as a jap 5 speed wide block out of a sigma? are they same ratios etc. mine starting to play up and am wanting to change it with one of my spare jap 5 speeds out of a sigma.Paddles I believe the gear width and...

On a cold engine, I just add 5-thou to the hot setting then re-check it when the engine it hot. It's usually pretty close.

Cheers.

In a nutshell, as far as what diff fits where, GE, GH Sigmas/Scorpions and all WAGONS will swap. GJ to GN Sigmas/Scorpions will swap. SOME GE scorps have 8-bolt jap diffs the rest have the 10-bolt jap diffs(these are much stronger than the 8-bolt). There are sigma B/W diffs with disks but they have ...

Jeez guys just drop your dacks and measure 'em already! (webby, thanks for giving me the opportunity to use this) Webby, there is no point, lpgalant would win against everyone on this forum. He is by far the biggest DlCK. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: (I was originally going to write "Webby, L...

Oh goody, some more bites.. :lol: :lol: :lol: I believe it was you who posted this. no they dont, sigma scorpian or wagon, they rnt interchangable ge, h to gj,k and on . and I responded with Sorry but you are wrong.The GE/GH diffs out of Scorp's or Sigma's and linkages/arms ARE the same as the later...

I think a Tac hammer is about the largest one I want to see you use.. :? After this engine is finished, we can start on the long stroke 2795cc Astron. I'm yet to decide weather I'll go turbo or NA on this one. For a N/A setup, I'll use the Same Celica pistons, offset grind the crank for a 104mm stro...

All of this mud slinging :shock: doesnt alter the fact that early Scorpion diffs will bolt into GJ-GN Wagons :roll: True, but can't a guy have a bit of fun. I reckon I got more bites in this thread than Cheater did on his last fishing trip. :lol: :lol: :lol: I don't take any of these posts too seri...

my ingnition i bought for my gc is worth more than ur wagon and wife car also. WOW, my wife drives a 2002 Tarago (paid about $27,000 in '05 for it.) you must have one hell of an ignition system. (just a hint of sarchasm :lol: :lol: :lol: ) Pics as promised (just a bit late.) http://users.tpg.com.au...

1. just curious but how does swapping diffs around between sigma scorpian and wagons increase horsepower most people on this forum are looking for (very) cheap ways to increase power and/or keep it driving. BUT If you change your diff ratio, does your rear wheel HP change? 2. If people had the money...

good luck trying to fit one lol, but why would u want anyway, ....................for around a grand u can get a skyline r31 borgy with 39 or 41s ratios in lsd or spool fitted to suit ur car or ahywhere from 1400 up to 1800 for a 9 inch from respectable diff shop. I can safely say, the total cost i...

no they dont, sigma scorpian or wagon, they rnt interchangable ge, h to gj,k and on. Sorry but you are wrong. The GE/GH diffs out of Scorp's or Sigma's and linkages/arms ARE the same as the later WAGONS (GN for sure, I have one.) but I can't confirm for the earlier GJ/GK wagons. I have 6 Scorpions ...

I've had my turbo rebuilt 3 times within 100kms, even with a new bearing housing. Within 20kms it starts loosing oil between the bearing housing and the exhaust housing, even with a restrictor (20psi at idle hot, 80psi at idle cold)....... Might be worth looking at an external oil pressure regulato...

Get yourself a set off a later Scorp including the rear glass and the winding mechanism. I looked around for quite a while with no luck. From the GJ onward, the rubber section between the 2 windows is all rubber, no steel to rust out like yours. PS: Check the nylon wheels on the front winding mechan...

Same here with the B/W shifter removal... Had to drive it back to my brothers workshop (25k away) using only 2nd, and 4th because I was using a 1/2" extension bar from my socket set instead of the gearstick. NOT FUN in city traffic. PS: if you re-tap the thread for a larger bolt, you will need ...

with that much dome, are they going to go clear with large cams and piston clearance? do they have cutouts in them? Cheater was running those other pistons with a bucket load taken off the block and head (guessing somewhere between 4mm to 5mm). With these pistons, using standard rods, standard 2L c...

Cheater, I think i muffed up the earlier calculations (was working on the 2.6L stroke not the 2L) M6 or M7 head ( 70cc ) 2.6L Block 2L Crank ( 90mm stroke ) Std rods Celica piston ( 92.5mm Dia, +24.7cc dome and 38.9mm Comp height ) The standard 2.6L piston with a Comp Height of 35.5 sits .6mm below ...

it's an ethanol blend. supposedly cheaper AND provides more horsepower. and I hear it can make pigs fly too. :) Close, but not quite. Cheaper, Renewable, Burns cleaner. Not as "energy dense" as petrol, ie:you need to use more to produce the same ammount of power, but because it can be mad...
