Thanks for the reply. The igniter is earthed straight through its mounting bracket and I have never removed it so there shouldn't be any issues there. Also I believe the issue is too intermittent to be a faulty earth, only occuring when the car is almost at full temp (as judged by water temp...

Almost a decade after this thread was started I can add my 2c and say that I am having the tacho issue. However mine seems a little more serious, when my tacho dives for the bottom (never up, always down) I get a corresponding loss in power. Complete loss in power, feels very different to a...

Thanks Faded, nice find with that other thread too. Definitely a fun car to drive now. Dont have to rev the nuts off it any more to get her going.

Lol you get your back up easily don't you mate? Stop being so passive aggressive, there are plenty of engineered turbo 80s getting about for a lot less than a what you paid.

Lpg is absolutely fine. Here in Australia almost every single taxi runs exclusively on lpg and they will see over 500,000 klms from a motor with a normal service schedule. Issues only arise when the head is made of soft metal since lpg won't cool and lubricate the valves as petrol does. Some...

Lol dude take it easy, you don't need to get so defensive of your LS2. The V8 vs turbo debate has been going one for decades and it will probably continue until we're all driving electric cars. Personally I will take a turbo inline 6 anyday over a v8, in engineering terms they are superior in...

I spoke to John from turboglide late 2014 and he was willing to sell it for $1200 back then. He may have changed his mind since though.

These gt35s were both from Ford falcon xr6 turbos I believe. So that means that they would have 1.06 rear housings and be internally gated. I think a.82 housing would be ideal for a gt35 but as far as I know you can't get an internally gated version of that. Axt and turboglide manifolds are...

Many of Tomcats turbo bits are from a guy who used a GT35 on his rig and ended up tearing it all apart and selling because of the lag with the turbo (dramatic I know). At the end of the day it comes down to what you want from a rig and I think a GT35 probably isnt a great choice for towing or...

I was having knock/timing issues with my AXT kit before I intercooled it. It was taking massive amounts of timing out causing drastic drops in power. Tomcat has a HUGE W2A cooler, it's internal core is almost the size of some A2A coolers. With W2A being significantly more effective at cooling a...

Awesome, thats what I was wanting to hear. Thanks

Hey guys, Can anybody help me out with information regarding the installation of the oil pressurised timing chain tensioner? The FSM I have only shows how to install the ratchet type one where you need to latch a little hook before bolting it up. The oil pressure type design seems to have no...

Yeah its a super neat set-up, I didnt want to be running complicated intake piping through the front of the car, its much easier to run 1" heater hose! Why would you want to run meth injection over an intercooler? That requires an extra reservoir, extra injector, injector controller, tuning...

I built my own because it was about $500 to do it that way so I saved a bunch of money. Also the AXT W2A wont fit with the way I have the MAF fitted, this gets removed if you get a standalone ECU as a MAP sensor is used instead. I didn't use their ECU either but the mapping refers to when you...

I did it 100% by myself. Even if somebody did help me and lend me the use of their workshop it probably would have just slowed me down... :p
