Thanks Brendon Yes I have read them a few weeks ago .

Jacking the rear of the bonnet can cause swirl BUT are you going quick enough for that to be an issue? Do you need cold air in or hot air out?? 160+ on the track To reduce engine bay heat one needs to get cool air in and hot air out and logic tells me that if I can get the hot air out then there wi...

why is it getting so hot that it requires extra engine ventilation?

The car is a 390 ATW hp Starion and am trying to reduce under bonnet temps which will help lower inlet manifold temps as well = more power

Is there anyone that has 1st hand experience with installing aftermarket vents in the bonnet to allow hot engine bay air to escape?? From my searched they should be fitted a bit behind the radiator line and that raising the rear of the bonnet to allow air to escape is a no no as that is a hi pressur...

IMO You need to have the oil feed hole and the bearing holes inline no matter which bearing has the oil supply hole.

interesting engine choice given the car ur using.....why such a conversion???? I'd hate to imagine how many people cringe and sigh when they realise its not a 1.6L Toyota engine in the car I must say I thought it to be a strange choice of engine for the corolla - I had the same thought seeing that ...

Jordan hope you are not driving a welded or spool diff on the road?You know they are illegal don't you ??????????????

I got them from a hydraulic hose specialist for much less than that.

Getting the car back today from Fulcrum after having the rear coil over conversion done ( fronts done ages ago) corner weighting has been done to enable the correct F & R uprated springs to be fitted along with the Konis being reset to suit the stiffer springs and the ride height F&R adjuste...

Info to read re handling mods http://www.k-mac.com/pages/tuning/tunin ... ghints.htm

Bad Sig I would have thought that fitting a heavier front bar would increase understeer and adding a rear bar would help reduce it ??? as that is the exact opposite to any handling specs I have seen to date.

I have a 2.3 TC 63 with 387 hp atw on 19psi with a plain bearing 3582 but if you want it to spool sooner then a GT3071 would be my pick FWIW

Had a great time except for the -4.8 deg mornings. Pic of my Staz http://www.trackphotos.com.au/p69682802 ... bb#h2c62bb

That's a no brainer .Just beg ,borrow or steal an exhaust gasket from a TC to check

High oil pressure is not always a good thing as pressure is resistance to flow.
10 psi per 1000 revs is plenty.

I have a custom steam pipe T3 flanged manifold 4 sale .It i9s a split pulse design that you can nuse a single entry turbo as well and it also has a 40mm Vband ext gate connection IT IS IN PERFECT ORDER AND THE MATING FACES HAVE BEEN MACHINED FOR A PERFECT FIT TO THE TURBO AND HEAD $500.00 + post can...

Yeah, your Scorpion has been unloved for a long time. And that is one savage split in the dash pad too :( Normally they shrink on the ends and pull out of shape around the glove box. If you're game you can cut the damaged section out of it and fill it with expanding foam, cut it back into shape and...

Good video BUT driver is too far away from the wheel.

Hope to get down your way and catch up next year

I have been told by a mechanic that should know what he is talking about that if they fit into say a GSR Gallant/VR4 then they will be ok BTW I have a cleaned and tested set of twin spray 800cc SARDS for sale that have not been used since testing and shortly will have a set of Bosch 670's for sale a...

You got me but who are you ??

Dave the extension housing has to be shortened by the front to rear measurement of the 4 bolts that hold the shifter in place in the housing and the stick has to be bent to sit upright.
There is no need to bash /reshape the trans tunnel as it fits just fine.

I have a series4/5 turbo box in my TC Starion so if there is anybody wanting info happy to oblige.

Remember oil pressure is only resistance to flow a good motor needs app 10 psi per 1000 revs

The factory box will not stand that power level.
I had a cyroed box and did not dump clutch at 4k+ revs with 300+ hp atw Now have an RX7 turbo box 4 2+ years and holding up well behind a TC 2.3 stroker


BTW I have a set of SARD 800cc inj's all cleaned and tested if you are interested ??

Have had my JB since 92 now a TC 2.3 with a RX7 box ans a 3.9 LSD diff

I have had my Starion since 92 and it has gone from 120 hp ATW to 329hp ATW not in one move but as $$ were available. It is now a 2323cc TC with a GT3582.
