i used a stock turbo manifold, witha welded on T3 adapter plate.

have someone interested in the scorpions crossmember etc foa a gj sigma. anyone know if theyre interchangeable?

im selling an engine, ready to go. capable of a comfortable 250+ rwkw.

if your only wanting 10 psi, a dead stock sigma engine will take it all day. my original stocker ran 18psi &210kw for years

so this has sat and sat for years, and i wont have the time or money to finish it off. anyone want any parts? preferably whole car and all the nissan stuff :) ill put up a proper forsale add in the next couple of days. but basics are below 84 Scorp (interior still untouched except drivers seat is an...

its been a while, any updates on these pistons and the engines progress?

hmm ok, cheers. i knew tritons were, but thought l200's were based on sigma wagons.

the scorp lives to sit in the garage a little longer, i bought a cheap AU falcon traytop instead.
going to put in a BA engine (its original engine threw a rod) and probably turbo it later down the track.

pics loaded now

valves looking good, and i like where this R&D is going

just re-read this and had a dick moment, i meant an 82 L200 not a 92 Triton.
not sure what i was thinking at the time. looking at a L200 on gumtree to put the modified power steer/nissan front end into.

lost motivation on the scorpion and need a ute more than a track car

which one was that? the t3 or the GT30?

put up links to the turbos if theyre online.

superscan, not sure why or if its my pc, but none of your pics are loading tonight ...

does anyone know if a 92 triton front crossmember is the same width as a 87 GL Scorpion?

cheers

i used a $25 cheapo headgasket with my turbo build, was running 18psi and making over 200 rwke for about 20,000km and showed no signs of damage when pulled down.
the pistons however were in several pieces.

what size and trim wheels are in them? that will make a big difference. generally speaking theyll probably be similar. if theyre cheap chineese turbos theyre probably the same turbo with different housings is it a base spec GT3071 or GT3037/GT3076 and what housing on the back of each? again, makes b...

that cars not around anymore though, the new iteration of its engine is in an unfinished scorpion track hack

yeah that was me back in the day, that was a dead stocker 2.6 with boost.

theres a few around, although not on the road very often it seems.

generally the older style ecus are built using single write chips. so once programmed cannot be re-programmed without replacing the chip. although some ecus have a second socket for another chip, so you can put in a new chip with a custom tune on it. some have FLASH roms, which are erased with a UV ...

you could possibly weld it on the surface, and re-tap the thread.
but the crack will probably re open after not too much time.

ive seen one at the wrecker with a fairly crude twisted wire strap round it. seemed easy to do and very effective.

haha, was waiting for this

Winton - 1.42.2

i had a dirty cheap ghetto turbo build that was actually quite good. dead stock astron1 bottom end with astron2 head. (a crappy M2 casting) ebay t3/t4 turbo TR manifold with falcon throttlebody silvia CA18DET 370cc injectors. cheap megasquirt ECU with a poor tune it made 209rwkw at 18psi (maxed out ...

Welcome back!

also its helpful to know that most of the earlier (Pre 2000) honda engines all spin the opposite direction of normal cars, meaning theyre totally useless to mate with a non honda gearbox unless you want 5 speeds in reverse.

big difference in the heads, as the chambers are different sizes.
not sure what the comp works out at though. but it has been mentioned here several times before if you search it.

i did it also, but dont remember what i did.
come to think of it i dont think it has a seatbelt anymore.
its got a 4 point harness.
hmmm

they never had great geometry anyway. lowering them though will make them handle much better. the stock center of gravity sucks so the lower you get it the better, add more castor and camber and youll easily end up with more front grip than rear when turning in. but likely also get some understeer u...

ive put a S15 front end in mine... fits relativly straight fwd. with alot of drilling welding and so on...

you need to find/make custom steering linkage
be a little creative with the sump to crossmember/steering clearance. but if i dont it again id lower the xmember another 5mm

thats normal, i had that with several siggys.
never had one touch, but the belt was a bit of a yank to get through the gap

just put it on gas.

why not run it straight to the engine with a inline tap in the engine bay.
i did that for one of my cars for years, leave it open in winter and off in summer.
