Re: Megasquirt EFI

I am interested, but it would have to wait for a while. Funds for my project car are dried up for now. I was thinking about just using a stock ECU for now, then upgrading to Megasquirt later. Do you know if Megasquirt can use all the stock sensors etc.? I should also mention that my EFI conversion i...

Re: Cottees' Sigma GN Build

I have run out of Sigma money at the moment so I can't buy any new parts for it for the moment. I do have enough parts etc. to keep me going for a while. Earlier I had a look at both a Sigma and Cordia seats and how they all work. The Cordia seats wont bolt straight into the Sigma, and the Sigma rai...

Re: Seats

I picked up a set of Cordia seats from U-Pull-It the other week, and the rails wont bolt into a GN Sigma. The bolt pattern to attach the rails to the seat are also different.

Re: Interesting engine swaps.

For my Sigma GN project I considered a 1JZ/2JZ swap or putting the complete running gear from an EVOIV into the Sigma. 1JZ has been put into a GH before and just fits. I can't find the link to it at the moment. From the measurement I did, the 1JZ would fit into the Sigma GJ-GN ok. The radiator might...

Re: what's the difference between GH and GJ?

GJ and GK are pretty much the same, except for the front is slightly different, and the GK/GN have slightly newer engines and transmissions. Since you have a GH, I highly recommend getting the Gregory's Automotive Service and Repair Manual for GH/GJ Sigmas. I have the GH/GJ, GK/GN, Magna TR/TS 2.6L,...

The chop method is the way a Sigma/Galant/Scorpion/etc. EFI mod has always been done. I just thought that everyone and their dog has done an EFI conversion, why not do one that is a little different.

The Disco Potato looks good, and 320HP is plenty. Might have to wait for that part since even my Ruddy money wouldn't pay for one. I still have to work out where I am going to get the exhaust manifold from. I might have to get one made up. What is wrong with the T25 Flange?

Re: Recommended Turbo for Astron II 2.6L?

I was thinking about using a Toyota SC12 or SC14. I am still early into my build, so I am yet to make a final decision. If I don't end up using the M10 turbo I have at the moment, I might sell it to fund either a larger turbo or super charger.
