gt37vgt

Mine has taken a bit of a turn the just got a dry sump pump only witch will go on the 3.0 one day . but I'm putting the 3.0 aside for a wile and going to throw together a 2.5 16v gt35vgt this engine i can do at almost zero cost and it will be fine to work out the engine bay lay out .. inter-cooler inlet manifold (stainless) get all the instrumentation and basic tuning sorted out .. but it may all get put on ice if i have to move to perth 3000k's west

Will there be any space issues with a VGT?

To few had interest in mine so i stopped posting updates before the interesting bits :-D

My project is just un interestingly slow. Some parts are hopefully going to be on their way.. not much has been done in the meantime. interesting note that no one has posted on here for 2 years until yesterday.. Good god, has time gone by that fast. Wait.. whats a 951?

yeh the VGT is huge 9" dia hotside so its custom engine mount thats strati not arch RHD turbo moves down 2" and of course custom cross over oil drain

I can take pics of engine disassembly ..... Its painfully boring... even for me.

I'll get some going when I start installing stuff.

I've been a leach for the last few installs. When the last few projects I've done came from this forum, there is no sense in reposting it.

Also, some things I've done are not for me to discuss.... Contact Rogue_Ant for the best things to ever happen to a 951/944 (MAP sensor with the stock DME...among other things....)

Nice to see a few old heads in here. Might have to add some little bits and pieces here myself, but we can see Duke has powered ahead on his 16v build + helping Frederick with his beast, Brian had finished but had to rebuild after making art with a Rod, Adam is putting something together that we won't know until it's done, Bruce is on a go slow, Darwin is home and ready to get stuck in after an extended 'holiday'...and Rod, Rob etc still have their Big Projects chugging along amongst others...see you in another few years then.

...and you conveniently left out the status on your project. Let's hear it

Oh, just a little bit of this and a little bit of that....

Working more on the Black car just for now. It's the one that goes so it's getting the attention.

Well on the Black car that is serving me well for the moment we've just put on some Racers Edge camber plates which gives me a lot more room to lower the car and not run out of free travel, or get into the bump stops too much. Just had the guards rolled. Helped a fair bit but still getting some wheel rub on the fronts so more drastic measures may need to be taken. We're going to try the SFR (3"-5") exhaust which I was saving for the bigger motor but we have other plans for that and some headers for a RHD car which CEP will provide along with a modified X-over and a custom cam just for kicks. I had Sean replace the 2nd gear syncro which some of you might have heard 'grunching' in the latest clips.
Cleaned up the suspension a bit too...and we were running the software incorrectly with the V flex D'oh! So now she pulls quite nicely. Had CEP make up some nice hats to fit some full floating slotted rotors on the front only for now. Brakes have never been better. In fact I find I'm overbraking and washing off too much speed so I need more time with them. Very nice kit though. Well worth it for the guys with Big Reds who want something better than the X-drilled rotors which seemed to crack really quickly for me.
So some nice little things to keep us going down here for now....

How wide are your front wheels and mostly tires? What are your offsets? I have to compare those too my 87, with 9.5 x 18 wheels.
I take it you auzzies call fenders "guards". that helps me with understanding gt37gt.! Thanks!

Oh you need the secret codebook to understand him. Better yet, come down and learn firsthand.

I have an old military friend who is an OZ S.A.S. guy, who is now also retired and now a travel agent. I'm doing all I can to get back down unda!
I adore your nation!
