I have the older model of that XA200, which has been faultless for 10+ years now.. 

What does it look like with a 225 45 15 on the rear? I have a pair of used AR1 in that size you are welcome to for free.

K swap.

More specifically Suzuki k14 turbo from a new swift.

Yeah ford rb40, oil pump gears, head studs and valve springs and your away laughing.. plenty of support and turbo options to suit most budgets.

There probably won't be a lot of selection in the wider 15 inch, I'd probably look at a falken rt615k if the do the sizes you need, I'm sure they'll do the 205 for the front, not sure on the rear..

Another option could be Maxxis vr1.

The spark plugs are wet. It has been running rich at some stage. Not sure if the choke is electronic. There is one wire going to the tip of the carburetor.

I understand the approved Barry fix is to wire the choke mechanism open.

I thought I may have removed the one from my mx5 to add more lightness, but I went and checked and it's still installed..

Perhaps @Truenotch would know of such fine gentlemen that would remove these items in the pursuit of speed?

Are the spark plugs wet or dry after you try to start it?

Does the carb have the electronic style choke? The 80s Mitsubishi carbs were notorious for failure of the choke mechanism/ control.

Quite a milestone you must be chuffed , and it sounds so crisp!

I had heard that noise before but couldn't put my finger on it, and then I figured out last night ... It reminds me of a beetle owned by a member of the Pukekohe car club that had fitted a hotted up corvair motor..

Yeah Dave Thomsen. He's a gc and still into his motorsport.

Yip twin scroll, it's worth the effort on a 4 cylinder. Not so much on a 6 though..

Still got the starlet, it's doing a great job of keeping the dust off the floor in my garage.. hasn't been out in anger for years. I have considered maybe selling that and my mini so someone gets some use out of them..

The kinugawa stuff is alright at a price point, but if going td05hr I'd go OEM for sure.

I had an Evo based td05 20g it made 200kw at the wheels at 4000rpm and 245kw at about 6500 rpm on my pretty stock 4g63t, on 18-20ish psi.

I like my mid-range performance on the street, it probably needed more camshaft if you wanted to up the rpm... I reckon this was the sweet spot for stock drivetrain AWD Lancer, no need for a twin plate and the problems that go along with them.

Stock cast manifold, 720cc injectors, Walbro in tank pump and reflashed Mitsubishi ecu.

Edit -it made 235 on stock cams and 257 wheel kw at 6000rpm on the old spec kelford 264's

the 245 number in my head is my starlet dyno plot..

That new inlet cam is algood, I was talking to someone the other day about camshaft upgrades on twin cam turbo engines. For some reason people seem to think this makes turbo lag.

Mostly there is no real downside on cam upgrades, other than maybe a big cam on the exhaust would benefit from a bit more exhaust housing area to make sure exhaust gas has a good chance to escape the cylinder head..

then when you add vct you can tame down the low end driveability and help the mid-range spool.

Yeah but he's not calling himself AllSuzuki's

how?

they obviously are not doing any sort of phone tracking at the moment for those purposes or we would have heard of it by now

 

 

 

How do you think google maps gives you orange and red lines in real time for slow moving traffic/ traffic jams?

Sigma. Plus it's steel and it comes with cables and it's $60

Yeah everything goes somewhere in a truck, so it would be highly inflationary..

and then the trucks used to repair the road that was damaged by trucks would also increase in cost.

2127kg for a 2.0 dual cab 2wd.

Regardless, road damage squares with the weight, or something similar. The actual damage by either a Leaf or full pimp spec 4x2 Ranger is almost nothing. 

The vast majority of road damage is heavy trucks, we upped the max weight years ago and reduced the theoretical design/service life of our roads from 20 years to under 7. And then de-funded road maintenance to make books look good, and then ignored it for a million years. 

Something like that

Just need to look at any turning area where a milk tanker uses a tanker trackm the road is always turbofucked to the point where you can see if the trucks turn left or right out of the driveways every time.

Plenty of support for Honda k20/k24 these days. You probably don't need to go as hard core as @Tiger Tamer but something like that would be my pick.

Had similar on my old diamante many years ago when replacing a front cv, it had a break in in the wiring that ran out to the hub, so it must not have enjoyed having the wiring disturbed. I may or may not have run a bit of speaker wire down to the sensor.

Is there any chance that mx5 light motors would be the same?

Looks nice, there is a lot less bending moment with a tandem axle, as the point loading between spring hangers for weight distribution is far more spread.

Yep, pretty much, I rewelded mine a couple of times but it continued cracking the steel, has been algood since adding the diagonals. the load on yours won't be front heavy like mine though.

Awesome project wouldn't mind myself..

As far as the trailer build I have a similar designed trailer for my Honda which has been great except it continued to crack the risers for the top rail on the sides from the points from the axle forward to the front.. the issue is these are limiting the bending moment and there is no triangulation.. I ended up shortening the cross bar along the front so the sides dip down to almost triangulate the sides similar to how your back section is and then I added a diagonal in just the first section.

Sorry if my explanation is garbage, but it might save you a repair job after its galv or painted.
