I did get it, And meant to reply... sorry...

it's a scrapyard in Benoni... M&M scrapyard is the name....

I also looked into the std 5spd box, and indeed they where close on R1500 more that what I where able to get the W58 box for, so the choice was kind of a no-brainer on that one...

well if you keep the boost down to no more that 9PSI, the std stuff should hold....

I do a lot of towing with mine, and for that I usually crank it up all the way, and then it's hectic on stuff...

I'm at aprox 125Kw....

engine is still 100% reliable.... just over 2 years running now...

gearbox, well that's a different story all together.... with this setup, at 14psi I can guarantee you, the std gearbox WILL not last.... I stripped 2 and am now on a SUpra W58 gearbox... which won't strip, not even on a V8....

I'm still on my std diff, and it's still holding out perfectly, though I'm not the kind of guy that does not have any feelings for mechanical stuff, I'm pretty sure, if I wanted, I can snap that too....

In short, The A14\15 engines with the proper goodies in them and a compression drop, is pretty damn bulletproof.....
the gearbox is not..... a setup like this can easily more than double the engines output, which means stuff down line, will be seeing a lot more strain....

oh and don't even bother with the std clutch plate, The std pressure plate and flywheel is fine, with a button clutch....

Ever seen what an engine looks like, after you dropped a seat at 5000rpm's......

it is money very wisely wasted, by having that done by the pro's. But, that's just me...

Kulula... you mean like so

Open in new window



the injectors where they are now, I think is the best, with regards to where they are aiming at... they are not in the way of anything and that is the furthest away from all the hot things in the setup, which is good too...

the idea with the exhaust was to get all the really hot stuff on top that way all the cool stuff don't get BBQ'ed so badly when sitting in traffic.

the lifting of the inlet tube kinda eats into that idea a bit, but it's still better than having the exhaust go underneath, I Think....
