Re: Cottees' Sigma GN Build

lol. I don't know if you'd believe me, but I have already used up 3 cans of the stuff on that engine bay so far. At the moment I am not too worried about it being messy. Once I get everything sorted out and fitting where it should, that is when a major clean + assembly gets done.

Re: Recommended Turbo for Astron II 2.6L?

What I am looking at for my Sigma Project is something I can drive on the road, and also take to the track. So pretty much after something for most of the rev range, not huge HP for straight line dragging.

Re: Can or not IRS axle sapporo into sigma?

The distance between the 2 holes is ~105mm, and distance between the 2 rear most holes is ~760mm. Hopefully someone with IRS could kindly measure their cross member for us.

Re: Can or not IRS axle sapporo into sigma?

From what I have seen, the engine bay of the Scorpion/Sapporo/Eternia/Challenger is identical to that of the Sigma GJ-GN. I think the Aus-Spec Scorpion and Sigma GJ-GN front and rear suspension is interchangeable. Also read that the Sigmas, Scorpions and Starions all share the same IRS set up. The I...

I had an idea of making an adapter that goes from a GN exhaust 5 bolt cat converter to a T2/T3 flange. If I did that, it looks like that a turbo would fit under the manifold, if it wasn't for the oil filter. It might work if I relocate the oil filter, or did some cut and welding to the manifold.

In Australia, the Sapporo was called a Scorpion. The model we got of the Sigma and Scorpion didn't come with IRS. From what I have read, the IRS out of an import Galant Sigma, Sapporo and Starion are similar or could be the same. If you have a Sigma that has IRS, a Sapporo IRS might fit. If not, the...

Re: G spec GH

It is looking pretty good. Will you be adding some bracing to the SC to support it? The Magna EFI needs support, I would imagine a SC would need it even more because of not only the weight, but the belt pulling on it. Interested in seeing how it all works out though.
