Re: 2 door LA build-hillclimb car

May be worth fitting a rubber sleeve around the two hose's where they go throungh to body. Vibration and time could cut into them and fill your boot with fuel. I would also seal the gaps that lead from boot to cabin as you now have fuel systems in the boot space.

Humans on fire = :(

Re: 4G63 SOHC carby to DOHC Twin Webers

To avoid the hassles with carbies and having to make extractors, I was wondering if I could put a turbo on it, and use the efi - prabably with bigger injectors? I am wondering how much boost the standard n/a motor would handle? I am assuming I would need an anti knock control or a turbo ecu. - Does...

Re: Is this Possible

This would be a very cool and very fast car if you built it. However there are a number large questions that need to be considered. 1. How much do you want to spend? 2. Who will do the work? 3. What class/type of racing will it be used for? 4. Are you going in with your eyes open in regard to the am...

I was told the hp limit was the crank. To much power/boost would break the crank in half. In stock form or mild power they go forever.

Re: 1977 GD Galant racecar build.

It was a non timed event but i was doing prity slow times anyway. Rough timing had me at 1min 55sec mark. Nothing fancy
but better than dropping gearbox or diff oil all over the track. LOL

Re: 1977 GD Galant racecar build.

Sorry for the overdue update. The old girl made it to the winton fun day! On the most part all went well. The stock brakes where useless as expected and the stock diff and gearbox had to be looked after so they didnt end up over the track. http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c168/jimmyrex/WFD2X-00034....

Re: Hypereutectic pistons??

The biggest drawback of adding silicon to pistons is that the piston becomes more brittle as the ratio of silicon is added. This makes the piston more susceptible to cracking if the engine experiences pre-ignition or detonation. The up side being lower thermal expansion and resistance to heat. Look ...
