Re: The GK Turbo....

man, i thought i was adventurous putting nissan IRS in.
i looked at this and thought that the nissan would be easier than what your doing, plus more aftermarket options and adjustability for track use.
this is something abit unusual. what did they say at UPI when you walked out with half a car? lol

Re: fuel/temp gauge not working?

in regards to the original issue, check the push on connector on the manifold, give it a good clean or even replace the spade lug on it if its crusty.
failing that the issue will be in the dash cluster.

The question i have is are you getting spark breakdown? if your not, then theres very little to be gained by increasing the spark. you can go CDI, open up the gap and get a few extra HP, but unless your pushing the boundaries or having issues with the current setup theres not alot to be gained. you ...

Re: 2.6 N/A head help

yes and yes.

the ecu runs off an AFM not MAP based. so itll be fine.
if you put a big cam in it it wont like it as much as it will change the mixtures if you start adding overlap.

EOI Perspex rear windows, moulded to suit

i am considering getting a perspex rear window made up for my track scorpion in the interest of saving weight.
they are approx 1/8th of the normal weight of glass according to the maker.

would anyone else be interested? likely cost approx $300

Nice one :)

as far as injection goes, magna injection is just as easy as TPI, you still need the same stuff to run it all.
that is unless you ran an injector in the crossover pipe or something you could keep the std sigma intake etc
