Hi All,

Does anyone know where the grounding strap is for the Sigma (scorpion)? I cant seem to find one. (running through possible grounding issues)

Is there a grounding strap?

The engine mounds appear to be solid metal, are these enough?

Cheers,

Hi Guys, Thanks for the replies... I've actually been a long time member / lurker, and I did have another account with an intro post before the forum crashing a while back... I should probably do another one though as a bit has changed with my car (less works now :P) I've been researching these star...

So I bought a magna starter motor, from an early model TN-TP... stud pattern doesn't match the gearbox...


Stud pattern for my gearbox is a straight line, the magna starter motor has a 'triangle' pattern for the bolts + starter motor center.

Hi All, My starter motor in my Scorpion died (Sigma GSR motor) Does anyone know if the Magna 2.6l starter motors fit fine (heaps on ebay)? I have searched around but information is scarce on the ground... I'd head down to the wreckers but my motorbike is off the road at the moment as well. Cheers,

If it's for a carbied car, the Holley Blue will give you WAY too much fuel pressure ... you want no more than 5psi. Putting a pressure regulator on it will just reduce your fuel flow. Pierburg make really good low-pressure electric pumps http://www.injectacarb.com.au/fuel-pump-universal-carby-inlin...

you can still buy mechanical fuel pumps from repco new and also they pop up on ebay pretty regularly. Checked with repco, they want $141 for a scorp mech. fuel pump.. sounds like an electric holley blue is the way to go instead http://www.holley.com/12-802-1.asp -- Will probably get a new coil etc....

What head &/or exhaust mods are you running ? If they are stock, then it's probably not unexpected for the car to be running out of steam at that sort of level. I'm running a standard Astron1 head (sadly) but have Pacemaker extractors on it. Standard Cam too. Pretty sucky setup compared to what...

I'm keen to hear the result! Though I've only got a Weber DGV 32/36 setup, but I seem to be having the same issue with 'hitting a wall' for revs, though mine is at 4,500rpm.

I would have believed I would hear pinging all over the place if it was leaning out though?

thanks panda, egh. double-post.. sorry mods!

I would have a stab and say its your fuel pump. I had similar issues with mine, turned out the fuel pump had a hole in it. 0.01bar at WOT, but drove ok till about 3750 then jump and coughed and spluttered. but when it would run fine again to ~3750 again.. Reading the other posts, it seems a stock m...

thanks for the help guys, got the issue resolved.

Was a blown globe in the end, but I do believe some water had found its way into the casing. Gave it a good cleanup and made sure the unit was sealed, fresh set of globes (and a park-light that went as well) -- All good

Hi, I've been in the process of fine-tuning and testing my scorpion before some heavy driving and have come across an issue. All seems well until you reach ~4500rpm and it wont seem to push any further. Infact, sometimes it even DROPS in revs on WOT! My guess is maybe a fuel starvation issue? It see...

I'll have to double-check tonight, I hope it isnt something as simple as this lol.

I have a bad habit of doing things the long way...

Thanks

Hi, Recently, my Right Side indicator no longer 'flashes' but goes on solid. I've had a look at the relays but I dont have a wiring diagram for that section of the car. It appears though that the relay that controls the indicators is a 2-pin relay, how does this work? I identified this by removing r...
