I'm just wondering what is wrong with your triton motor in a older post you said that you had no comp in 3 - 4 cylinders -- Why !! is it holed pistons bent or burnt valves does the comp come up when you squirt some oil into the cylinders to seal the rings ? just thinking if it's something simple you...

Must be a way of making it fit and work

I had the same problem on a twin weber manifold that didn't cover the large rear water outlet

I welded a couple of pieces of aluminium flat to widen the contact area and machined the manifold mating surface flat again

I have only pulled apart 2.6 engines in the past, will a early 2.6 head work on 2.0? Some say yes but others say I will have compression problems, I have noticed there is a bevelled section on the piston on intake side and the piston appears to have a slight cut away for valve clearance. Is this co...

Guys, new to building cars and need some advice. I have just brought a 74 galant wagon and would really like a turbo motor in it. Just wondering what motors people recommended as for ease and reliability as a sleeper but with a decent amount of power, not stupid amount of power just a good amount. ...

Will a head from a efi magna (astron2) with the efi setup fit onto a 4g52, will it work with the efi? Will I have compression problems? I have 4g52 in an la lancer and the head is a bit ordinary, I also have an la lancer with a turbo charged astron2 with tr magna head and injection, I know how to f...

how about a 4g61T -- almost bullet proof 1600 TC that is the same lenth as the 4G63 TC just a bit shorter in the block
and comes as std with no balance shafts

a pair of 40 mm IDFs could be made work but you wound need to make a manifold - I dout you could buy one off the shelf there are twin weber manifolds around but for the DCOE models of cause there also could be bonnet clearance issues as well if you are thinking of a 2.6 with a bit more poke as a day...

the problem you may have if you wont to stay with the carb inlet is the rear water outlet on a magna head is bigger that your inlet manifold may cover

may be when I get time do you think I'll need 3 or 4 plug leads to keep up

This will stir things im sure....plz be mindful, this is purely an opinion based post, no right or wrong answers...plz no slandering (thats a tractor engine, that engine is shite etc etc etc) I personally like the Ford 302Windsor V8...y? An engine that has proven to be a great lil (in comparison) d...

I'm a big fan (no pun :) ) of having an accessory temp gauge with degrees marked - so you actually KNOW what the water temperature is. I agree with putting a acc temp guage on first , then you will know what temp the engine is doing if its well under boiling I wouldn't do much at all and remember t...

I made my own and I know not everyone is set up to do this I just bought 1 3/4" mandel bends and some straight section and tigged it all up it was made 4 into 1 and runs a 2 1/2" system with no muffler or hot dog before the rear axle and 1 straight through turbo muffler in the std rear pos...

Hi all,quick question and your opinions ? The lancer is 1.6 5sp., am looking to go one of two directions 2l install, out of my L200 (4g63 5 sp) or 2.6 5 sp out of a 91 triton Thoughts ,pros and cons? I know legally I could charge the 2l but not the 2.6 but all round in your opinions ? there are man...

commodores run a 5 stud pattern over the Starion's (and Simga's 4), Commodores also run the hub and rotor as one unit wheres as the sigma is seperate (thos it is a problem that can resolved easily enough) Look at Nissan Skyline R31 front rotos..... they are 4-stud pattern, ventilated and a bolt-on ...

I would like some sort of economy, but also the ability to give it some when I'm out late night cursing ( thrashing!! ) I get close to 180km/h in 4th, running a 3.89 diff with 205/60 13 tyres I'm a bit short of that speed changing up to 4th about 145 kph is my change from 3rd to 4th and the change ...

Its a manual (starion 5 speed)

What do you do to fix ?.

I would also check above the tailshaft there is a small welsh plug that seals the gear shift rod

hello all I have a Bullet proof Astron 1, built back in the 90's ( when lead was still in use ) it's been blue printed, my uncle ( the builder ) said everything you could do, has been done. it was given to me when I bought a LB lancer hatch, it went in no worries, just had to cut down the tail shaf...

Yes, 3.9's are good for road cars but 4.6 to 4.8's are perfect for rally cars - top-end speed isn't so much of a priority - it's more about punch between corners :D I found the 3.89 diff was near perfect for Sandown with my astron only needing 2 gears for the track once moving 3rd gear from turn 1 ...

Yea see, I don't particularly want to run computers. Hence why a quad carb setup. Can I mod something like the housing of the efi thing (the big box thing on the intake side of the engine... Lol :P ) to cover up the carbs? But cut the bottom out so it still gets air? Or just use a pipe and filter s...

Hey cheater. So 3.5mm? Doesn't that convert to 140 thou? That's a big chunk! Lol yes the things we do just to get some more comp it was running 11.3:1 and it needed more - every thing runs pretty close inside the head with the cam it runs the valve to piston clearance is 0.060" the pistons nee...

The alternative of a drilled sprocket is cheaper and more durable as the mounting bolt and dowel on the cam are the only things keeping it from moving (I'm pretty sure you can still get them). Just like these ones http://imageshack.us/a/img391/1853/camgear2.jpg these are the gears I redrill , quite...

I jus read your reply cheater, the tensioner at rest is about 10.08mm ( the shiny chrome shaft bit) sticking out of the oil pump. the chain had polished off the bolt heads on the long straight guide. was an asshole to get out, had to drill a lil tiny hole and use a pin punch to start the threaded b...

hello all, head and deck shaved, is there anyway I can reinstall a new chain guide set without the same thing happening???? I have orderd a whole new timing kit, ill check to see if the new chain is tighter, but if its the same, I dunno what to do! so frustrating!!!!!!!!!!! I appreciate any advice,...
