Jus, using a local system -Gotech Pro-X- Its a tried and tested system.Intercooler is actually charge cooler, intakes run around 70 deg c.with zero temp creep. Comparing the Lexus heads to a stock Alfa Romeo 24v 2.5 l head is scary. I am a long time Alfa bloke and wanted to play with something...

No, not overly impressed. Money spent vs performance gained is not worth it. Even with the "dime a dozen" pricing of used engines . A truckload of money later I have 288Kw atw and 600 Nm torque.Turbocharged. Pathetic. My build has Argo rods, C.P. Pistons, Kelford cams, Allen Whey valve...

Hey Ozz, my whole post was totally tongue in cheek..Very happy with your suggestion and really appreciated your input..:):):) and just for good measure..:):)

"The GT3540 as used on Aussie 4.0 XR6T Falcons keep the V8 boys VERY VERY honest..." GT3540 ?? You suggested the TO4z !! Which has just cost me 1600 dollars u.s. !! ;):) Got it btw...Thanks.

I detest projects when they take this long ! I recieved my conrods from Argo Race in Ozz a while back, waiting for the C.P.pistons to be completed. Had feedback from C.P. that I may even have them before christmas ! That would be a bonus, if only so I could stare at them and rub them all over my...

How do I edit here ???? The diameter of the clutch plate is 260 mm.

Oh, and the clutch center is sprung...seriously so which is real good..

I opted for a stock Toyota Hilux d4-d 40l raider clutch pack. This is from the DIESEL engine that is rated at a serious load of torque-400nm odd. I felt it would be sufficient for the stock engine. The plus side is that the spigot fits the clutch center hub . I also went for the centrifugal...

You have a pic you can post of these ? Rather interested in what they look like..

Mr Venter, I bought an engine, one of the imported ones and the engine is almost brand new still.I stripped the engine and did some measuring . 6/100ths wear on the cylinders and the rest is as new.A new cambelt is good assurance in this case. Goodluck and enjoy the Spitronics,good little sytem...

It definitely is related. While all is cool , no probs.. Soon as you have heat soak, the outside temps are scorching etc, problems. Save your self a lot of hassle and also the annoyance of breaking down away from home/garage and replace it. Been there, done that. I at one stage, fitted a...

Mnr Venter, Ek het n engine gekoop , een van hierdie ingevoerdes en die ding is so te se nog splinternuut. Ek het die motor uitmekaar gehaal en afmetings gemaak. 6/100 stes op die silinders en die res is nog baie goed. N nuwe "cam belt" is goeie asuransie in die geval. Voorspoed en geniet die...

This is an old problems on the Alfa Romeos as well. New fuel pump I'm afraid.

We have a bottom feeder here selling these at a ridiculous markup. These are made by Ueng Company China and sell for 25 us dollars each. B/feeder here retailing them for 125 us dollars ! The reason I got my Argo`s from Ozz.

Appreciate the execution of the whole project but the wheels are way to big. Just does not suite the car.

Nice to see her up and running Jus..How come the change to a s/charger from the turbo days..? and seriously, your opinion on Argo Race rods..?

Oh, a little ray of sunshine was the coil overs and rear springs I had made from our local Bilstein snail/tortoise chap. I finally got those .. The O.Z.Magnesio wheels I got are also good, not the brightest choice I ever made, should have stuck with alliminium wheels here. They are in good...

Gees, this project has really driven me to the end ! Monster and co politely handed me all my stuff with a one way ticket out of the shop . I have taken my stuff and managed to find very enthusiastic youngsters with personal experience and drive that may just sort this project out for me ! So it...

If it does fail to reach you, please will you send me a blank mail to "Barry at gsab dot co dot za" I will reply to it directly, thanks.

Will do, thank you.
