Nice,

Id actually like a Harmonic damper for my motor one of these days, im guessing some custom work will be needed for that too.

Yeah file share has come up with some cool stuff! :) I actually plan to measure and input into a suspension geometry program the sigma suspension to see how i could try and change it for the better from the factory configuration. Doubt know if it would even be worth it to do so. Im going to do the s...

Also it keeps your kingpin inclination right. Looking at the workshop manuals i have here it has: GB kingpin inclination = 8 degrees 50 minutes GC - GD kingpin inclination = 9.0 degrees GK sigma = 8 degrees 45 minutes Sapporo (aka Scorpion) GH = 9 degrees 30 minutes Hopefully someone with a bit mor...

Im glad someone asked thig Q as i never even took notice of the Galant struts since everyone else just swaps in the Scorp ones, makes sense if your not doing a full brake upgrade, but when going a rotors and calipers upgrade anyway, might as well stick with the galant struts, IF theres good shocks a...

awesome!

Mr D has Audi koni inserts in his, needed 40mm off the strut for them, and there externally adjustable.
Will order some of these shocks this week unless someone can see a problem with them or has a better option?

Are you sure?

I just had a look at my GCs and they do have a removable bracket just like GH scorps etc. ( I just bought some GH struts anyway, better choice of shocks from what i have found.

from memory coupes are different, But i think still available new.

Sorry this was the link i ment to post http://www.hoonboy.com/tmp/MrBishiBrakes/MrBishi%20Early%20RWD%20Mitsubishi%20Front%20Brake%20Upgrade.htm The setup used would cause the rotor to hit they A arm even sooner Rotors a little further offsett than a starion rotor, But then Mrbishi stuck 10mm spacer...

We have never had a problem with cavitation on our engines, but we learn't early on that the problem was not so much the pump pick, but the lack or oil being returned back to the sump pan. The main issue with the astron engine , is that too much oil sits on the top of the cylinder head and takes to...

So have any of you that have used the forklift pump encountered oil drainback on cold startup? I have only driven my car about twice since i put the pump in, having some clearance issues with the dump in the coupe, was fine in the sedan with no brake booster. but like you the old car got put aside ...

itll probably give 1.2418954 of a hp at flywheel, lol according to my calculations thats probably about right I had tried searching for pump HP needs with no luck, but Torana68s advice to search for hydraulic pump hp chart came up with HEAPs of stuff, Id have to agree it would be close enough to be...

tuff , I get tired of the whole my car does 10's but woops I cant prove it and the it'll add 20 HP thing without proof , cant prove it dont say it, for now Ill just say what I think. "cant prove it dont say it" You have been stating that changing to a forklift pump will not give a power i...

... Ill go 2HP difference with the pump which probably isnt measureable, Ill go 5 on the ballance shaft removal ,BUT it needs to be dyno'd or it didnt happen, the number of people who spruke HP figures but havent even seen a dyno is amazing. The number on here who have had a car on a dyno that they...

Might as well chuck one in and give it a quick dyno cheater

How much power do you think it would take to spin a magna pump at 18,000rpm with 80 or even 60psi ? im guessing a hell of a lot more than spining balance shafts. Or more to the point, how much more power do you think it would take than spinning a forklift pump at 4000rpm with 60psi? this is exactly ...

ok, so I need the pump, sprocket and the chain ( seals and gaskets of course ) will u post to Qld? rob you will also need the chain tensioner Ill take some pics today/tonight IF i can get my camera working! to show what it looks like, Yeah I can post to QLD no HP increase from an oil pump change, s...

I think there a little expensive for what they are. I want to get something with a sealed thrust race bearing like these http://www.datsport.com/Camber_plates_with_thrust_bearings.html there $560 and have no caster adjustment, but you get more for your $ i think? There 110 bolt spacing, but Ill spin...

I think i remember seeing pics off this thing a few years back?

nice.

whats she like to drive?

Yes the canter is the same, Some cosmetic differences, i think more do with old vs later castings than canter vs forklift. the pics of my motor with the forklift pump is using the pullys from a canter pump I pulled from a wrecker once, I still have the canter pump if you want it? Ill buy a new pump ...

youv got yourself a keeper there!
As baner would say, Love the beast !

Im going to do a brake upgrade, but want to see if anyone has done this in a galant? http://www.hoonboy.com/frontsus.html I put some Starion struts in my galant once and the rotors hit the A am meaning they would not fit, So im just wandering if this upgrade would also hit the A arm due the the wide...

I still really love the square headlight front ends!

Nice!
look forward to seeing what you do with it

Welcome to the forums! :) I dont think you ever got the M1- M9 markings in canada I dont think anywhere else in the world wend past the gen 1 (astron 2) style of head. Its a lot to learn, I keep asking for a sticky on 4g54-52 head info to cover all of this. In Australia we kept on with these engines...

Good to see you hear!
I have a GB 2 door myslef, (as well as the GC 2door)

how about some pics!

Dam, I just threw my old fire extinguisher out! I also use to annoy Scott satch i think he name is? with emails about these motors, He ran the 4 Sum fun Suzuki swift drag car as well as a rail car running the same engine. He said every time he tried to run the motor without the shafts he would crack...

sedan and coupe boot lids are not interchangeable.

I have a side by side pic somewhere.

Long time no see! sorry to hear about your dad, I remember him coming along to some of the meets.
Might even have it on video, i have a copy of one of the COG cruises we were all at, all have to find it and see if I can find it and digitize it.

he use to post on here a little, won a top gear comp with a cool little vid of the galant

anyone know if that vids on the net anywhere still?
