Re: Super vs turbo

She's only a street bus. Don't much care for show cars. I was just throwing the idea round in the back of my mind. I can get hold of a sc14 for free, that's the only reason I was thinking about going blower. Dunno. I love the atmo engine (revs to 8k all day and loves life). I've spent a few $$$ buil...

Super vs turbo

Ok, what do you guys reckon; supercharger or blow through turbo charger? The engine is a 4g32 in my colt. I cbf'd doing the 4g63 conversion as I have a spare engine I'm rebuilding anyway. Any advice would be grouse. Cheers.

Ok, I'm after a cam grind. Went into Merv grey today. Useless. No help at all. Can anyone recommend somebody in Launceston that wants my money? I'm not after anything wild, just a mild grind of my spare cam.

Re: cam grind

That looks awesome Dave, thanks. Yeah, I'm a strong believer of double checking everything by hand. I remember when I was a kid my uncle had some work done on a head off a Gemini, hit the key and bent the valves.

Re: cam grind

Belt drive. That's a bloody good idea drilling the gear. Can't see why it wouldn't work with the belt drive too.

Re: cam grind

What about an adjustable cam gear? Do I need one? I'm not having much luck finding one for the 4g32.

Can I get a mild re-grind, slap the cam back in place and drive away happy. Or is there more involved?

Ok, so can anybody recommend some suspension and brake components that may be worth pillaging? Wouldn't mind stiffening the chassis up a bit.
