My car smells like 12 trips around the Earth.

IIRC, Horsepower freaks is having a clearance sale on auto to 5spd conversion one-piece driveshafts. Check it: http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?t=53512

looks like I got the Mk III high mileage win so far. :biglaugh:

298,000+ miles, baby. Oops- Edit: 1988, purchased in 1996 with 144,000 miles.

I think that the manifold that you're looking at requires an external wastegate, and you cannot mount a CT26 to it, either. It's a manifold designed for T-4 type turbos.

Yes, but not a dangerous one. My NA Z car was 10.5:1, no problems, just gotta keep the timing realistic.

I assume we're talking about a non-turbo engine, yes?

schweet. Thanx guys.

Serious? from the pic, the turbo definately looks like it's sitting higher than the valve covers.

Yeah, after I tested my upper cable with the "drill" method and ruled that out, I unscrewed my lower cable and found the tranny-end was sheared. $16 for a new one from the dealer- not bad.

I have done this- it's easy.

Great. Me with my aluminum driveshaft, wondering if I'll get smacked in the balls one day with a big metal stick. I have one driveshaft loop, which I was planning on putting towards the front of the driveshaft, I think I might put a second towards the center, where the carrier bearing bolts in...

The shims are not added in case the clearances are off. It's true that they come in different thicknesses for adjustment, but they are a mandatory part of the valvetrain.

Nice. I dig the rims, especially.

What is this?

Have you checked to see if the turbo with the spacer (in the last picture) will fit under the hood? I ask because I was thinking of going with the same spacer.

:rofl:

Umm, aren't the shims about 1/8" thick??? PLEASE tell me you have the shims in on top of the lifter buckets. Please?

Oh yeah- I see what you mean now. It's not a twisting force, but an inertia or centrifugal force. Never thought of that at all.

I would like to see a front sillouhette view of a MA70 vehichle on front, and "GTEpowered.com" on it as well, of course PS- A cool quote would be nice too- "It takes Old School to teach new fools" ....or... you know......something....
