Sigma Turbo specific info - links to past threads

Post by Shifta »

Hi guys,

I've had some great help lately with my Turbo and I decided I'd try to keep track of the threads that I got good advice from. I've also tried searching the old and the new forums for Genuine Turbo specific info but often the search results are too many so the results don't display. This week I decided to manually look through all the threads in the Sigma sections and came up with the below list of threads I found interesting. I decided to post it up in the hope that it might come in handy for others down the track....... :)

Hey guys,
Ive done my best searching through the above links and past threads but still no luck, Im in the process of putting my 2lt turbo motor (Standard with the exception of a SU carby, 50-60 thou oversize and balance shafts removed) together but im thinking of going the Electric fuel pump option, what sort of pressure/flow should i be looking at? (Ive got a rising rate reg if this makes any difference)

Any help or even a point in the right direction would be great!
Cheers

Hi mate,

Check out the thread here : http://www.sigma-galant.com/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=4596. I had a heap of problems getting my standard SU running and the guys help me on page 2 - basically around 3-4PSI running the SU. As you mention you aren't running that, maybe start a new thread in the Sigma section and tell the guys what you have. I'll then link your thread in this one as this one is pretty much for reference and not posting :)

Looks like any of the sticky links above with "Archive" in them don't work anymore. The others are still good, so hopefully might still be useful
