    What engine would this be??

    You have to pedal them a bit more to keep with the flow of traffic, Big rob has one and it's just like a GE to drive but his is in a Mz20 so a bit lighter than the a70.

    What engine would this be??

    AFAIK and Jeff confirmed it ealier there was never a LHD Ga70 produced so not possible and apart from novelty value it's a WoT in an A70 chassis..

    Has anybody ever used an aristo trans???

    You need to run the factory ECT or an aftermarket Trans controller to make it work, I use an Aristo valve body in my 340.

    Overseas shipping of engine?

    Depends on the freight company, I shipped 62 Kg's to Crisp in the USA and it was about $500 AUD from memory, an engine will fit on a mini pallet.

    What engine would this be??

    So you're trying to say it's a LHD GA70 and NOT a swapped Ma70?

    High Octane gas?

    If you don't need it due to either boost or timing high octane is going to make less power and cost more so doesn't make sense.

    What engine would this be??

    What engine would this be??

    Not at all, for a car to be worth something it needs to be both rare and mint, I'm not 100% on this but I can't recall a LHD 1gtte being made so it's possibly a half assed swap someone thought would be a good idea. Maybe Jeff Lange can verify if this car was ever legit from toyota.

    What engine would this be??

    In Japan there's a registration/insurance breakpoint for 2.0L and under and I believe another for xx width (hence narrow body JDM a70's). There's no sane reason to own a TT 2.0L engine that makes the same power as a GE 7M in the real world... :nono:

    HKS/Brain Cower/CCS cam? I need help

    On a multicam engine lobe centres are adjustable so you can ignore that for now, You'll need to provide a lot more info before I or anyone else can advise which cams may suit your application. Trans? Budget? Other mods? Turbo? Boost pressure? Fuel? End use ie: Drag car...

    HKS/Brain Cower/CCS cam? I need help

    Lobe centreline measurement is the angle between the Intake and Exhaust cams as the name implies, short story is closer together = more overlap and less peak cylinder pressures further apart = less overlap and lower cylinder pressures. This is a gross simplification of the subject before any...
