Re: Jap 5spd + clutch + flywheel convertion questions.
I think the thermostat in both the Sigma and the Magna are the same size. I am not 100% sure though. I know the thermostat housing from a Sigma, Magna TR/TS 2.6L and 3L are all the same size. The Difference is the pipe angle coming off the thermostat housing is different in all 3. i can tell ya the...

Re: Megasquirt EFI
thats a good deal, but you dont now how its been soldered up, you can reconfigure it though easily.
looks like its been done properly, and handy with 8 ignition outputs if you run a v8

theres 3 things that suck about that turbo. 1. its NOT a garrett, its not even Ball bearing like the genuine GT28's are 2. its got a T25 flange, which is smaller than a T3 and ate a pain in the ass to work with 3. the turbine is actually quite small, more suited to a CA18 or SR20, youll likely run o...

Re: Cottees' Sigma GN Build
thats interesting. out of the ordinary thats for sure.
with a core that size i would be concerned about its effectiveness as well as its flow capability.
what power output are you aiming for?
also, subaru RS turbos have a WAIC that may fit where you want it, might be worth a look

Re: what size injectors you running 2.6T and fuel rail Q's
dude a rising rate reg is either 1/1 or 1.7/1 this means that at 1/1 for every psi of boost your fuel pressure rises 1 psi to combat lose of fuel so if your fuel pressure is 45psi with no boost at 14psi boost it will be 59psi f/p easy and the 1.7/1 are for serious boost 28psi and over,we use a aero...

you dont necessarily NEED an aftermarket rising rate reg, it will keep fuel flow constant as boost rises though. im sure someone will disagree with me. i just asumed that the std reg would be a rising rate reg no idea what rate the rise is?, and no idea what it actually does under boost, i was going...
