Okay... so there are simi-inexpensive ways to boost the performance of this engine!! Good stuff!! :)

First off-
B310gx: nope... only got the 4 speed manual on this girl. I would LOOOVEEEE to get a 5 speed, but those are super rare here in the states (rare as in I have been searching for the past year and a half and not seen or heard of one for sale). If anyone knows of someone or is looking to get rid of their 5 speed please send me a message, i'd be more than happy to talk about it :)

next...
D:
So... with this setup
Sc14 supercharger $300aud
SU carb 1.75 $90aud
Rowland manifold $180aud
stainless headers $180aud
adaptor plate for mani to supercharger
$150
total for parts 900aud + tuning
depending on A12 or A16 capacity 90-120kws

I'm lookin at about $675 USD + tuning That's totally reasonable, but... and it's a biggggg but (ask Becky) I have no idea where to get those parts, I did a quick search on a few of them but nothing coming back solid from what I can see.

I have a pretty bad ass mechanic that I can go to, but I'd love to at least have an idea of where/how to get those parts, and make sure they're the correct ones.

Do you have links/part numbers for them? You had prices for all of them so I'm assuming that you know where to get them?


In response to Ddgonzal's post

* $100 a small cam (and new lifters)
* $400 a downdraught weber carby
* $225 a set of extractors
* $125 an electronic ignition
That's only $850. If you buy them used (except the cam) you can get all that for about $325

I actually found a Weber carb around that price that says it's compatible with my engine, so that's a plus.
I've already upgraded to an electronic distrib (i'm assuming that's what you meant by the ignition)
On to the "small cam & lifters" and the "set of extractors" - No idea where/how to find or even search for those items. Any links?


I'd like to bring a part's list of those two setups to my mechanic and see what he thinks. If it's something that's a good idea, then I'll go for it. It'll save me the trouble of having to source out a full drive train and everything else to go with a engine swap.

Thanks for the responses guys! I really appreciate it!!
