Say..... What's involved with the gearbox setup there..... I just had my little 4speed grinder croak on me earlier today... Stuck in 3rd and it's not sounding all that happy.

is there a bell-housing that one can get for say a T50 box, to fit onto an A14, or how does that box get matched up with the block...

I'll swop my ute for your Rex any day of the week...

honestly... I would...

Me too, in 7 years not a single one.... I did once see an Alfa jonior... and there's a couple of MGB's but they don't count

I'd say Turbo charging is going to give you more bang for buck, as far as the cost of doing the conversion goes....

as for fuel economy.... I think turbo is also going to be better, at least theoretically you can keep the engine from going into boost if you really need to limp 15miles to the next gas station....with the fuel gauge needle 4 thicknesses below the empty line

been there.... didn't make it though ...

here is one

aaa found it.....


..........Click me...........

I've converted a std points dizzy to hall-effect, ... nothing to it..




damn..... finding the link to the thread is more complicated...

and a very good suggestion too.... Timing is indeed the more important aspect of tuning... it is also a lot more complicated to get right. Even some pro tuners with topnotch dyno's have trouble getting timing sorted properly. So much so that I've had to discard a Paid4 map on one of my friends Bantam 2l EGI's. they charged him for a map with dead flat timing at 21

yes intercooled for sure..... anything above 7 psi, especially with this crap gas we have here.... needs a IC.

well risking to sound Cheap.... I'm using the cheapest headgaskets I could get..... mainly because I did not really think my idea of sandwiching the plate like that was going to last all that long, just sprayed both the gaskets with that copper sealer stuff.... I was wrong..... it's still going strong and it's been +-7000miles now...

I'm running an A15 too... now at 18PSI with a stock std bottom end..... I'm running Langley pistons and a 0.9mm shim plate between 2 head-gaskets. the pistons is chopped 20T off the top, giving a nice wide squish band and the rods had been chopped another 20T. that as it is brings the pistons flush with the deck, from there the need for the extra plate and gasket. I torque the head up to 95N over a period of about 2 weeks... to compensate for the extra gasket that needs squishing.

this engine is as reliable as a rock.... not a hitch or anything..... I'm most impressed with it.
