Hi all

I am about to take my sedan for the replacement of all rubbers on my front suspention.
I just need to find out if there are any torque settings that must be applied somewhere on the suspension.
Ball joints are also going to be replaced.
Any information is appreciated.
Thanks

Hi Nicolas
If you do not mind, can you tell us what you have done to your engine.
What revs do you do?
Did you have it on a dyno yet?

And on the Opel subject.
HOPE YOU KICK HIS ASS!!!!!!
As you can see I am not a Opel fan.
Those of you overseas it is a Vauxhall.
(Hope spelling is right).
My other car is a Volkswagen and in south africa Volkswagen and Opel guys are not buddies.
Good Luck and let us know how you do....

Hi there

I am glad I am not the only one that has a heater switch problem.
Mine is gummed in the close position.
I am going to try Nissan for a new one.
I would reccomend you do the same.
A new one will last you longer than a wrecker one that you do not know alot about.
How are you going to replace yours?
have you seen how difficult it is going to be!!!!
I am thinking of removing the whole airbox and then replacing the switch and then putting it back in again.
It is going to be a job but its ok.
How are you going to do yours?

Good luck

We have one of those places here that sell japenese second hand imported engines.
In the bunch there is A15 engines.
This is what I was told when I phoned a while back.
The guy there could however not tell me if the heads are round or oval and said I must rather come and take a look myself.
I do not know what the engines came out of and I think he will also not be able to tell me.
Is there anyone that can maybe tell me a number like the GX head has that I can look for on the A15 head to know if it is the correct oval port head and maybe with 10:1 comp?
The head without restrictions?
Thanks

How much must I skim to get 10:1 comp on a A15 head.
Or will the cylinder head place be able to calculate this for me and do it.
Must I get a round port A15 head and let it be ported and gasflowed.
I guess it must be round port because it has more "meat" to grind away when porting.

Did anybody have success in putting a A15 head onto a A12 block?

I hear what you are saying.
But I want to use a head that if it gets damaged or something it is cheap to get replaced.

Also those heads are expensive.
It is cheaper for me to just get for example a A15 head and modify it to the same specs as a racing head.
Is this possible?
For example A15 head.
Skim to get 10:1 comp
And do something to fit doublevalve springs.

Hi all

I am interested in getting another GX head but know this is going to be a challenge to get as they are very scarse to find.
What head can I use to modify to get the same results as a 1200 GX head?
I know the 1200GX head has oval ports and double valve springs for higher revs.
I want to build much later a 1200 race spec engine but do not want to use my GX head as this engine I want to keep standard.
I want to use another head for example A15 and modify it to get the same comp ratio and double valve springs effect.

Can anyone give me some ideas?
Thanks

In South Africa we are not as strict as in Aus.
We do not have emmisions test and stuff.
How would they know if I have a nitrous system on or not.
Here is some cars that are driving around with tyres that look like slicks without them doing anything.

Is it really required to overhaul your engine for nitrous? I have heard alot of people just putting on with a motor that have more than 100 000km on the clock and a standard motor.
I was just curious about a nitrous system as I read about it in a performance magazine here in SA. They say it is reliable IF used right and also 1/3 the price of a turbo setup.

Has anybody ever fitted a nitrous system to a A series engine?
I read somewhere it is cheaper than a turbo conversion.

Hi Freak

The best advice I can give, and I think alot will agree with me, is to put on the 32/36 that you already have.
Even if you put any other carb on that you want to do, you will need to tune it.
Rather put the 32/36.

Is there any guys out there that can maybe help him with some jet settings for his 32/36 on a A14?

If someone here can give you some jet settings for your application then you will be halfway there in solving your problem with jetting.

Goodluck
