Sort of off topic but there's a guy who works in the cabinet makers place in our block with a VW Kombi with a 20B tripple rotor engine in it !! He's taken the twin turbo's off and runs a single turbo unit that at 6 PSI is giving 400 HP !! He's now running 16 PSI so imaging what that's giving...

I run 3 " pipe from the last join at the rear all the way out with no rear mufflers at all and as Mr Brady said it is barely any louder , you can just hear it with the window down , just enough so that you can hear a rumble . The strange thing is you can hear it coming from the bottom of our...

I'm pretty sure there's only 3 that will do it in Aus , Unique Insurance 1800651014 , Just Car insurance 131326 and one more that I can't remember . I have gone with Unique and haven't had any prob's , mind you I haven't had a claim yet so who knows ? I don't know how you will go being young ...

Sorry Scott , didn't mean to hijack the thread , I should have just let it go , life's too short and so on .... No need to go to a moderator , we are both bigger than that !! Please let us all know when you find the solution .

My point was Jibby that he needs to get it running correctly standard before he worries about aftermarket fans and stuff . A lot of the time these kinds of problems are more than one single thing , a series of faults , thats why problems like this are hard to fix . Scott , probably not all on...

Jibby you are missing the point , they don't run hot standard , so why is his ? Just a thought , check that the timing is right , maybe something is amiss with that engine and your ECU ? If your timing has been advanced for some reason it will run hotter .

I don't know , GM lost 5+ Billion last year , that had to have hurt and here in Aus , Holden [ GM ] have just updated their V8 engine and have gone to a 6 Litre unit but still 2 valve push rod and with a 4 speed auto , Ford now have a 5.4 litre 32 valve quad cam engine with a 6 speed auto , now...

It's not your fault as you are just going on info from someone who should know , but I always take exception to those who state that the air suspension is dearer than a shock/spring set up !! Yes if you buy new air units from lexus they are about $1000.00 each , but you can get remanufactured...

I have just shopped for a Celsior for a mate that liked mine so much he wanted one !! He was driving a 116 280 SEL merc so it's no wonder . All the Celsiors that come in are 89 or 90 models . Celsiors don't rust , if you see rust it's from a bad repair . Yes you can buy towbars for them but they...

I actually installed an import Toyota draw/cup holder to fill the gap , goes straight in , it has a spring loaded cup holder that you push and then it comes out and the bit that holds the bottom of the cup flips down , the draw is felt lined and just pulls out , very handy , better for change...

Oh Boy !! Top stuff , I will give him a ring tomorrow to make sure he makes them the same configiration as yours , just with 1 1/2 pipe diameter . Can't wait , I'll have to put my order in , thank you LS Kid !!

Well this is open to debate , maybe they should be made as original units in the pic [ close to equal length ] but just with the smaller pipe diameter and a slightly smaller collecter to match . initial idea was to make them easy to bolt in , I suppose one should go for maximum gain possible ...

Most probably he is welding titanium which must be done in an inert atmosphere .

Umm what's the spacer for ? If you tell me exactly maybe I can turn a piece up for you , personally if it wasn't a round spacer I'd have it milled .

Really need someone down/over there in good old Adelaide to HELP so that I can get some headers !!Pleeeeeease . :veryhappy

No good Andrew , the piece I have is 84mm x 410 x 10 mm .

I have just finished talking to Nigel from Streamline Exhausts in Adelaide about LS400/Celsior headers after seeing the headers on this site . Unfortunatly he wasn't able to jig up for the set he made . However he is quite happy to do so and then do runs of 10 at a time . For all of this to even...

Maybe you should have a chat to Bullet here in Brisbane to see how they do it , they might even sell you a kit , sump mounts the whole lot !! Then it would just be a bolt in job , how easy would that be ?

I'm sure I've got a bit of T6 8mm plate somewhere , I'll see if I can dig it up tonight .

I have had my 90 Celsior for just over 3 mths now , I'm getting between 12 and 13 litre's per 100 K's around town and having just arrived back from a 1500 K round trip down to New South Wales , averaged 10.66 litre's per 100 K's !! Very very pleased , that included some cruizing at 140 KPH and...
