The adds you see for 8mm wire etc refer to the insulation thickness... Thicker this, silicon that, etc, etc... The cores are the important bit providing that the insulation does it's job. It is more important to run the wires so that they do not rub on anything, don't touch the hot bits and...

Go Peewee.....!!! Looking good...

Back to that valve overlap thing... A certain amount is a good thing on a NA motor at high revs as, with both valves open and the piston passing TDC, the momentum of the exhaust gasses flowing out the exhaust port helps to pull the intake charge into the cylinder resulting in a better flow...

Do we have a spitty4 on here???http://www.trademe.co.nz/structure/auction_detail.asp?id=25202684

The dampener is there to reduced the torsional or twisting vabrations in the crank, not any sort of bending force. It does not matter if you have ten bolt mains it will not reduce these vibrations. If you look at the diagram, in the 'more info' article, it shows the twisting vibration getting...

Lex, what HP level are you hopng to get with the twin GT28 setup? I have been talking to PWR about using two 4"x6" barrels and the latest info is that they are rated @ 390 cfm or about 280 hp... About 560 hp total which may be a bit less capacity than you need...?? The next step up is a 6" dia...

Guts, his type is not even worth the time and effort you put into your post. Forget him.

Cool. Thanks for the info. Was a bit too technical to wade through but found all the info I needed froms the links page... Very interesting forum to read and will go back to it... The R32 and the VL share the same track and wheelbase measurements so it should be ok. One of the engineers who...

On a similar theme... How is the suspension geometry affected by this sort of modification and is there any way of rejigging the setup into a workable solution? I realise roll centres, etc would move but doesn't this change occur even with simple mods like lowering the car...? The reason I...

The US car running the 'All Paw' system is the Cadillac SRX with a Northstar V8. There are some differences; Caddy has 50:50 torque split, Commo has 38:62 (front:rear) Commo front drive shaft is on the left side so the chain driven transfer case has been rotated The problems with this setup...

The 4WD system in the 'All Paw' Commodore is an adaptation of a system sold in the states in another GM car... The parts would be available there but I can't remember the name of the car...??

Ok.. Ok.. Ok..... Stop teasing us.... Show us what you have got and lets get started... The lad is champing at the bit... We are initially after a set of engine mount adaptors, a sump to suit, a set of extractors and a wiring loom. This will get us a long way down the track and will look...

Thats excellent news... almost a kit car... On closer inspection the crossmember mounts may be the original six cyl mounts, which would make life easier. I will ID them asap. Hopefully even post a photo so you know exactly what we have to work with. The trans crossmember shouldn't be too much...

Cool... Just what I wanted to hear... The crossmember has mounts welded on to fit a small block Chev although they are quite low as the Chev sump was sitting on the crossmember/steering rack. Would they be anywhere close to the 308 mounts or is there a combo that might bolt up? What is the...

Well mid to rear anyway... Can anyone give me a measurement from the bell housing flange on the motor forward to the front of the sump bowl.... We will follow KDogs very sound advice and take the sump of my motor, mount it where it needs to be and see what room we have left for the sump. We...

Hey team My son has just come home with a LX Torana set up for a small block Chev... However, being a smart lad, he is keen on fitting a 1UZ with a tiptronic auto. Have searched the site and found some posts on this subject but no updates for a while... Would be keen for any updates and the...

The only viable top mount cooler is A/W. Compact enough to fit in the available space and heat soak will have little effect as water is still being pumped through the core.

Here's an idea to kick around... PWR'S smallest A/W barrel cooler is a 4" dia by 6" tube rated at 223 kw. If you cut the pipe transitions off 2 coolers and weld them end to end, with an inch or so in the middle for a small plenum to allow the air to pass from one to the other, you get a...

Dellow do a 1UZ to C4 bellhousing.... page 23 of the catalogue.... http://www.dellowauto.com.au/main.html

Aren't these are the same calipers that Holden used on some of the later model Commodores (VT on ???) Very effecive as an upgrade to earlier comodes when combined with a decent pad material and something like a DBA disc. Under $1,000 for all new parts... Will probably wind up on my VL as 4...
