I might have to just fork the cash over and get it done. They can machine the block while its in the car right? How long does it usually take to machine head/block? Any special way to install MHG? or is it just place MHG on freahly machined block and slap the head on her?

thanks guys for ur input. would a build that includes MHG, stud/head bolts, new seals/gaskets etc, AFM, 550cc's, be able to push 15 lbs of boost? Like i said earlier, Id like a decently powered DD. Id most definatly have a boost controler and id like to be able to bring her up to about 15...

i heard machining to the block was optional - meaning, i CAN do it if i want, but im taking a light risk if i dont. I believe ive read few others posts where peeps only got the head machined. The only reason why Im not getting the block machined is no engine lift and no cash to tow car to...

sup guys.. i hope i dont annoy thwe shit out of you with this post, but i have some tiny questions.. Im doing my topend rebuild within the month and am wondering a few things.. Now, most of u guys are rebuilding for a high horsepower beast and machines the block, head, new pistons, all the...

i went to work today and decided to try and fix my speedo prob. Up on a hoist, I disconnected the cable from the tranny and attached a powerdrill to it. I turned the car on and used the drill, nothing. So i followed the cable all the way from the tranny up thru the engine, andinto the firewall...

Ive priviously posted my prob on oil burning and most responed with valve seals... but heres the thing.. leaky valve seals burning half a liter in just one night?! I topped her up last night, right at the F on the dipstick. Drove maybe about 50 kms last night, 2 kms to work this morning.. I got...

the noise seams to come from the rear. anywhere between the back of the transmission to the rear diff. My carrier bearing was all fucked up so the driveshaft did help a bit. But I am still hearing the noise.

already thought it was the u joint and carrier bearing, got a one peice the clunk is still there.

OK, i have a weird clunking sound on deceleration (when I TOTALLY take my foot off petal) then pressing it again, and also when switching gears sometimes. I tried something the other day and I got the clunk to appear at a stop. I was neutral in a drivethru mcdicks, put it into first gear...

The supercharged Colbalt is 2.0L ecotec supercharged GM claims they make 205 hp 200 ft-lbs. Ive seen a stock SS on the dyno making 217 to the front wheels. The non supercharged SS is a 2.4L 170 hp 170 ft-lbs. I work for chev.

the canadian forum is always dead so.. Where r the ottawa supra guys? lets get together and shoot the shit.

seriously.. if its that much of an issue buy a honda. I get 300 km's to the tank (thats pretty much boosting everyday.. cut me a break I just got the beast) but im sure if i kept it easy id make 400-450 kms a tank.. Still not a lot but who cares WERE DRIVING SICK CARS

haha ive already got the intake, Just need some exhuast. I dont know if I should do the boost controler, Id feel like im asking for too much and the motor would blow. It would just be my luck. haha. But yea. I LOVE THIS CAR!

Ive owned her for about 3 weeks now and Last night was the first real time I launched hard and spun the tires.. LOL holy Fuck guys!! this thing is stock and 20 yrs old and I couldnt take the grin off my face. I was tempted to let go of the wheel and stand up out the targa and scream! I was...

I skipped my training wheels and went right into turbo! But, I wouldn't of been able to do it if I had not worked at my shop for the past 2 years. Its amazing what you get to drive workin at a shop - monster vettes, crazy porches, stupid honduh ricers, hand full of Z's, etc.. you name it ive...

Im not 110% sure what the smoke was but i had someone who was following me yell to me that it smelled like coolant. But yes, I believe i did overfill the oil, It calls for 4.4 Litres of oil and I put just under 5.. maybe 4.8 litres. I checked the dipstick after some agressive driving and a...

I changed the oil today on my beast, brought it around back to wash it and left it runnin.. honestly I forget it was runnin, washed my car and it basicly idled there for a good 30-40 mins.. After washing, shammying etc, I backed her up and she started puffin white clouds. Got someone to verify...

I need a new diff as well.. either rebuild mine, buy a stock one of another MKIII or buy an aftermarket one. I dont want to do any major mods I just want to bolt it right up.

my diff is sweating like a champ and I either need to rebuild, get a used diff off another MKIII or buy an aftermarket one.. Are there any for sale that just bolt right up without any mods?

Mine is garbage. I chalk marked the rear shaft. one mark on the inside tube and one on the outside. they were not the same when i checked later. Its either 300 from toyota for a whole new shaft. or 300 for the one peice and eliminate that whole hanger bearing...
