Re: gc galant project rotary????

13b's are 1308cc's but are seen as to double in the eyes of the RTA and most authorities. There are also new laws that should apply to every state that came in february that actually allow a 13b turbo in a GC/gd galant. If you can do a turbo rotary that means you can do a turbo 2.6.

Re: Do Dellow make a T5 to 4g63 kit?

I heard a bloke saying that he had a bellhousing to suit a R154 toyota box behind a vr4. r154's will handle 5/600hp behind a drag supra and can be upgraded to handle more.

Might be a way to go also

Re: Camshaft decision time

You are going to have to get that compression ratio up somehow. It will be laggy and then just crack into wheelspin, its fun but not fast. Its not a copper gasket is it? 60-1 is what I have on mine.

I think you blokes are just trying to make your lives more complicated.

The twins on my 1j supra are laggy as, plus if yo...

There is one set-up that is guaranteed to 50+pounds of boost from a t51r but will cost around 1500-2000 to have done as there is a fair bit of machining involved. cheers Mic It's obvious which car that's on!

The police have not been a problem at all. There are all sort of cars turn up, blown hotrods, mini tubbed toranas, rotaries. It's mostly older blokes so no one is being stupid and the police leave it alone.
