do some research on it first but the main things is you will need to upjet as you will fair bit more burn more E85 over petrol to get your mix right you can up the comp a fair bit E85 burns slower and has high anti knock properties and no I haven't used it myself - I do know that the IPRA guys have ...

so this is a 1500 km trip and you are using your GPS for directions again is that right

so you enjoyed running the regularity , next you should work your way into a 6 Hr regularity they are a fun but full on day

good going Billsy - was that on the same W/E as the HQ 4 Hour , I had a mate running around in that

I have a 92 Pajero with a 2.6 astron in it It has travelled 299000 klms All i know about it, is it has had a new head (M28) put on it i dont know how long ago. it has extactors and a 32/36 weber carby. apart from that it is totally stock. I did a compression test on it and all cylinders were betwee...

Which g63 flywheels were 110 tooth? FWD? And will a AWD flywheel work or just a RWD/FWD because they are bigger. on the smaller dia flywheel ( narrow pattern bellhousing ) both the 106 and 110 ring gears have the same ID so if you have a flywheel in a 106 that fits the application the ring gear can...

I had planed to do more this W/E but the Flu has got in the way I didn't realy get out in the shed till this arvo , I was to crook to anything sat However I got the gearbox off the 1600 TC and did some measurements the flywheel has the same dimentions as the 2 lt astron including the front face to b...

It is A power gain.......how much of a power gain really depends on the rest of yuor engine (cam, head, valvers, exhaust etc etc etc) totaly agree --- the weber induction is a good starting point though and have the advantage of being able to be choked back for smaller or lower performance mods ie ...

I've heard a lot of talk about removing the balance shafts from the Astron engines. I listened to the talk and bought a kit to remove mine. But OMG it was the worst thing I ever did. Between 3000 and 4500 rpm the car had a terrible vibration. I have a Sigma Turbo I like to have it in that rev range...

i could always say that a circuit car is just a rally car thats afraid of getting dirty

Yep again ....

humbug !!

I don't know what 1/4 mile times my sigma would have done - straights are only there to connect corners
I have a few times for the whole track not just the easy bit

Phillip island 2:00.5 Sandown 1:30 Winton long track 1:41 cant remember Caulder times

Morwell Hillclimb old track 35.87 sec

Come on guys, Do I have the most powerful Sigma Turbo? and no one else has clutch problems? I think not. I guess the US Starion uses a Jap box so the clutch plate will have a different spline than the BW box. But is the pressure plate 2.0 size or 2.6 size? I don't know. Starion are the larger clutc...

as in what ? I run twin 45 mm DCOE Webers on a NA car but they are way to small for the 2.6 even with 41 mm chokes anywhere over 6000 rpm
so the plan was to go bigger and the cheapest way is Quad TBs as 50 or 55 mm webers get a bit pricey

there are a couple of things to think about when trying to work out how strong your box needs to be its not Kws that break teeth in gearboxs its torque - Kw or Hp is work done turbo apps increase torque witch in turn increases Hp the lower the revs that you get high Hp or Kws the worse it is for the...

Hi Jason Thanks for the advice.. I'm located Down the mornington peninsula Melbourne... I have found a motor at the wreckers.. The guy said I can have everything I need for $220.. It has an m7 head.. The car has done 220,000 clicks so a freshen up will be in order I recon.. Is this a fair price?? J...

Hi all What's the best 2.6 block to use??? I have a ge sigma with a 5spd behind it but I'm after some more performance.. So I was thinking of going the 2.6 fuel infection route.. I have found a engine in a 94 magna with a m7 head that I thought I might use but am a bit unsure if this is the right d...

Back on track... when I was a boy, if you wanted to go faster, you needed more inches. Either bigger motor or stay 'legal', and stroke it. This all makes sense to me. Now, I've noticed some talk about de-stroking. School me on de-stroking please. Am I correct in thinking it is to reduce compression...

Yeah sorry forgot to mention I was going to do suspension bushes aswell, the shocks are from the factory I think so time to change them. Does anyone make after market sway bars for these does any one know? So how were the dobinson springs like cost wise? I never thought of them I know this may soun...

Cheater, Wouldn't you be better of using either a 4G62 or a 4G67 engine? This way you would be getting closer to your max capacity in class, or is there another reason for using the 1.6T engine. Nathan 4g61 has twin cam 4 valves per cylinder and are pretty well bullet proof - the shorter stroke eng...

My bro had a CC lancer coupe in the late 90s, 1.8L manual and it was a pretty zippy thing- weighing in under a ton, stock. That's pretty darn light for a 'modern-ish' car of that size. Consider that a Volkswagen Polo is 100kg heavier and the new Kia Cerato hatch weighs around 1360kg. Almost 400kg h...

I got the engine/gear box out of the broken CC 4 door ( it lost a fight with a telephone pole ) The engine fitted was a 4g61T and was ment to be still ok , so the plan was to fit it to my IPRA class sigma After helping get my mates CE lancer on the track I'm now looking around for a cheap CC coupe i...

I droped around to get a sports report moday morning and the car ran quite well richard did an hour and 10 min first stint and Paul did a an hour and 20 min later in the day there team finish 8th out of over 40 teams with some fairly polished teams in from of them so over the W/E the car did more th...

Bugger, you going to use that as a track whip? It looks far too neat to be used for trading paint out on the paddock. How much weight do you think you've managed to shed off the Lancer? cant shed a lot of weight building to IPRA spec - all glass and steel panels but with only a race seat and when a...

well there seems to be alot of after market performance parts available for the starion hence what i meant by more breaking power. so its possible but would need a bit of work. i might just stick with green struts then from a scorpion. try to find good pads for a starion - its not as easy as you th...

Im currently in the process of rebuilding a astron for a mate. He has a 2L series 1 astron in a ge scorp, Im assuming its a wideblock?
