    Ugly Things done with a GA70

    Wow, what an identity crisis. It even has a digi dash. At the end of the article it says, Engine- in-line six cylinder of secret origin. Capacity- 3.0liter. Sounds like someone didn't get there facts straight.

    sport package question...

    Yes the open diffs had cooling fins. The cases were the same, the internals were different. It was possible to get the LSD option without the sport package. However from what I understand all Canadian MKIII had LSD's. I could be wrong but that is what I remember hearing. You can also check...

    Tranny Swap

    Yep, it is very narrow minded. And it affects both sides. You know how long it took the domestic guys to finally warm up to turbochargers. For the longest time they were bound and determined that the only way they were going to use force induction was through a supercharger or N2O. Turbochargers...

    Tranny Swap

    It's the accepting idea Ford (GM, Dodge, ect.) actually produced something bigger, better, stronger that a lot of people are afraid of. I'm not sure what it's like down in Australia, but here we (i.e. imports) have to fight tooth and nail to get accepted as anything other than a cheap econo box...

    What used for lazy eyes?

    But he is not looking for fully adjustable. Because of the style of housing he will be using the headlights only need to come up halfway(or somewhere in there) when he turns them on. He wants them to come up to one specific preset point when he turns them on. He doesn’t want to have to...

    Head Gasket.... going but not gone.... need advice.

    While coolant being pushed out your overflow bottle can be caused by a BHG, it's not the only thing that can cause that to happen. If the coolant overflow got low and some air was sucked into the system this could also happen. A BHG is a worst case scenario, check all other things before making...

    Got my baseline dyno

    Like I've heard someone say, “A turbo will provide all the backpressure any engine will ever need”, So after the turbo you want to get the exhaust out of there as fast as possible.

    MKiv transmission on a 7mg(t)e...do they bolt up?

    The only transmissions that directly bolt up is r154 (7M bell housing) w58 (7M bell housing) a340 (7M bell housing) There are versions of these transmissions on a few different motors, but they need the 7M bell housing to bolt up. Now if you get in to custom bell housing adapter plates...

    MKiv transmission on a 7mg(t)e...do they bolt up?

    I assume your talking about the v-160. The short answer is no. http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?t=17937&highlight=v161

    Got my baseline dyno

    Yeah, since most car manufactures list HP and TQ figures at the engines crankshaft, the actual power you are putting to the ground can be a bit deceiving. Drive train loss is a bitch, on manual transmissions it can be as high as 20% and on Automatics it's up around 25%. At least that is the old...

    Opinions on engine management choice...please

    Can it be done, yes with the proper amount of tuning. But it could be done better with a standalone. All piggy backs do is modify the signal being sent to the ECU, in effect lying to it. But you are still running on the stock ECU, and it's pre-programmed fuel and timing maps. Even if you...
