He has since gone 8.59@155mph and you can put me down for an 11.22@118.98mph forced 2.6 galant.

Sorry mate but if it was tuned right on the right fuel for that boost level it would still be alive the problems you have there are not component failure they are tuning issues.

Re: Cam for 2.6 turbo
You do not need head work in a boosted astron to make good power it is mainly the cam and valve springs that need to be changed. And if you need a cam give Paul Testa a call he can help you. You said that you tried Bezerkly unfortunately a while back Paul left the bussiness and Stuart would have bee...

The 904 is narrow block only and yes they are a straight bolt in just make sure you have the spigot, flex plate and bolts to suit or you will end up with alignment issues.

Re: EPA
The epa check is the easy one to pass it is when you get sent to cambelltown to check the carbon cannister and the like that you will start having the headaches you need to hide as much as possible and like I said before do not tell them it is a starion motor as it will be harder to pass.

Re: Recommended Turbo for Astron II 2.6L?
I do not believe it is to big I think the comp wheel can go a bit bigger maybe the exhaust wheel is a little big but if you start pushing 700hp@wheels and beyond you will be better of with a s400 so you can play with wheel sizes as there are not that many options for the 42.

Re: Recommended Turbo for Astron II 2.6L?
Paul's car has a T51r but what he has found lately is that you can go a bit smaller in the exhaust wheel and not have any adverse affects thus helping response. One thing to remember is both the T51r and the gt42 have the same comp wheel it is in the exhaust that is the difference 71.8-76mm and the ...

Re: Recommended Turbo for Astron II 2.6L?
I would be incline to use the comp side of the Gt42 ie 76mm and a fair bit smaller exhaust wheel like a Q in a 1.00 t4 style housing more of a T51r style but exhaust wheel will be about 3-4mm smaller.
