Where do the Sydney guys want to meet for the drive up? (Just on the freeway or Thornleigh Maccas? just before freeway)
Im going away down south that arvo, but am quite willing to go for a drive in the morning....would be great to see some of your cars and meet some of you guys.......

Cheers Matt

FWD to RWD heads are exactally the same, just bolt on (just check ur inlet because the Astron 1 heads the bolts for the inlet manifold are directly above/below each other (for carby) where as the Astron 2 (M6 or M7) the inlet bolts are on a diagonal (for fuel injection). Also the water inlet is diff...

Ide take it back, those dont look like factory mags =P

Cheers Matt

Definately Im up for that....ill just top up the oil an ill be set ;D


Cheers Matt

Oil surge problems, not that i noticed, however i normally concentrate more on the track/trees than watching my oil pressure gauge. Saying that going down the straight at Wakefield park race track after i noticed that under full throttle the oil pressure was only at 2 kg/cm2 (2 is squared) when norm...

hey guys i know this section is for advice on engines, but I NEED to buy a TR/TS magna engine (doesnt need to be whole engine, short block is fine). Must be good bore, no cracks, good conrods and crank......building a race engine and i already have the go fast bits for the top but my bottom end shat...

I do know of two 4G54 N/A engines that have around the 300hp mark. Both have quad throttle bodies, cams, head work, exhausts, motech computers. One in a LA lancer, the other in a Sigma. Im not bragging (as they aren't mine) but it is possible to get that much power out of this engine......but u do h...

New oil shouldnt be black yet anyway.
Did you get the head rebuilt? because I know that if the cam is pulled out and the head sandblasted or cleaned a lubricant (which looks shiny) is put under all the bearings and lobes of the cam.
Hope this helps

Hey 2.6_sigma_skidder, Ive been having trouble with spinning big end bearings (done it twice in the last 6 months) not sure y the first time happened, but the second was probably a shoddy repair on my behalf, what do you mean "resize the rods" because I dont want this to happen again. Chee...

Thanks Chris I did hear that from another source just wanted to see if anyone else thought this.

Could someone with a Sigma, scorp, or triton post up what the stroke of their 2.6L is, because I have a magna book which says its 98mm.


Cheers Matt

Hey guys, I stuffed conrod bearing 1 last weekend and the bearing decided to generously disperse itself throughougt the whole bottom end........some bits got stuck in conrod bearing 2 as well and they have decent groves cut out of them. Im looking for a new crank as this happened b4 and I thought I ...

So aussieblue, are these Hella's a straight swap for the original LC headlights?


Cheers Matt

That sucks.....dont know if they are the same billet to start with, but I got a #3 grind for 4G54 N/A only 3 weeks ago, that was $275 pickup.


Cheers Matt

maybe its because a Triton weighs more than a Sigma so it doesnt go as well.......or did it use to perform better and recently has just died in the ass???


Cheers Matt

My 4G54 had similar problem (after I had head reconditioned with #3 cam and double valve springs), it wouldnt rev past 4500rmp (used to rev to almot 6000)...........I just advanced the timing a bit more and that solved the problem (until the crank bearings shat themselves and the engine died). Also ...

That is just CamTech though. The specs are there and if you take them along with ur cam to another place they might do hardface welding and regrind if your serious and want to pay the money to get it done.
There are pleanty of other cam shops around.

Cheers Matt

NB: called CamTech and the only 4G32 cams they do are #1 and #2 (maybe 3 if ur cams in fantastic nic) but they wont Hardface Weld anymore because "it takes too much time" #1 and #2 are $198 for regrind.

Just thought ppl might want to know.


Cheers Matt

Ive got a TP magna block in my LC lancer, the TP sump fits fine (sits low, so if ur worried about clearance maybe look for a different one) I dont know the difference between Astron I and II but I do know that a Scorpion sump was too wide for the TP magna block. My engine was already build so I'm no...

Just saw the post and i have a rally event this sunday so wont able to make it
I just finished getting the Lancer ready and am going to burn some rubber.

Cheers Matt

Not sure about Galant into LA......Ive got a GC wagon diff in my GC because again thicker axles. But if you cant get LC parts modify a Scorpion diff. Reasons: 1) They are bigger and had a bigger motor attached to them originally so they can handle power. 2) They come with Disc Brakes standard. 3) Th...

Try and get the white minilites in the background of that pic.....see if they are the right size, because they would be awesome...nice dish on them as well. If those rims came off a Silvia yes they would be the right PCD and being a 16" rim they should have a big enough offset to clear brakes b...

I have GH sigma struts and brakes in both my GC and LC. The LC is boosted brakes and they work a million bucks, the GC is NOT boosted but still pulls up well but if its for racing get a booster. A stock one from a Lancer works fine....my mate has one in his rally car with bigger brakes. With the GH ...

I dont think any of the base models (eg 4 doors) came out with them...not too sure about the coupe's or GTO's....Kodos would prob be best to ask about the GTO's

Cheers Matt

I got some aftermarket fixed bucket seats but my LC isnt registered (yet) and they are ok. Just watch out with the mounting brackets as i found out. My fixed seats bolted to a bracket and then that bracket to the original lancer runners (but had to weld 2 cross pieces onto runners to bolt bracket to...

hey mbrallying, how did you guys go in the AMSAG Jenolan rally a couple of weeks back? I was servicing for the red 4 door LA and red/blue/yellow 2 door LA......saw your car and was very jelous, Ive got a 4 door GC but will hopefully be in the AMSAG series next year with my 2.6L LC

Cheers Matt

yea i had a look at it again and the water outlet is actually attached to the pump....where as on mine its not, its a lot smaller.......didnt realise there was a difference...but doesnt matter i got one off a mate for free YAY

Cheers Matt

Hey guys I found this on ebay...I know it says "suits 4G32" but sometimes engines differ if they are made later. So was wondering if it would fit my 4G32 in my Galant as i think it looks slightly different. ebay number: 170316027194 Item description: BRAND NEW IN BOX 4G32 L300 80-85 MODEL ...

Rally_2.6LC (formely Matt) - Ryde

with the fuel pump it will be fine....my stock pump sends enough fuel to my side draught 45 weber (bigger than a 32/36). Im keeping the 1.6L in my galant mainly because its soo cheap for insurance (im 21 and paying only $250 a year for comprehensive with salvage option) However the mods are expensiv...

That is a sad end.......is the shell very warped, could you build a Khanacross car out of it?
Were you able to salvage anything off it?
