  1. Can you fit it inside of the radiator support rather than behind it?
  2. Just some random junk thing with modified end tanks to encourage multi pass, plus the OEM water / oil heat exchanger.. Didn't seem to get hot on high boost at track days etc..
  3. One thing to consider is turbo Dorito often run a lot of oil cooler capacity which probably helps maintain engine temps.. you might be ok so long as airflow isn't compromised, and ducting is well sealed.
  4. The 888s aren't really a wider cross section, I have a set on the back of my mazda but on a 9 inch rim... the only ones that are wider than advertised i have found are the Dunlop 03g, but these are not available in a 225 unfortunately. I'd run it as is for the mean time, although I'd be interested in seeing a 245 on an 8.5 and the 225 on the 7.5 if this is an option? Or do you not have the real estate for such activities. My Honda runs a 225 on an 8 on the front and a 205 on a 7 in the rear, it looks relatively in proportion.. well as far as a reverse stagger goes anyway..
  5. You could mount the baffle off the fuel pump cradle, from memory the fg falcon has a plastic tank and cradle thing the kind of clips in with a spring loaded nubbon.
  6. I was thinking about the 2 stroke thing, does this reduce stresses on the piston compared to a 4 stroke, in my head when the piston goes up on the compression stroke it won't fly in half at TDC because pressure on the top to help hold it together... But on the exhaust stroke at the top you don't have lots of pressure on the top of the piston so that's when it'll fly apart. Maybe @Roman and @BiTurbo228 can get together and graph this idea to tell me how wrong I am.
  7. I reckon the 225s sit nice on an 8 inch rim. +1 for battery in the engine bay.
  8. Is there an option to modify the tank to accept a swirl pot/internal baffle, and run a matched Honda OEM in tank pump? Mostly OEM EFI tanks don't have a spectacular array of internal baffles and seem to do the trick down to low levels.. External pumps are inherently noisy compared to submerged pumps, if you have to run a surge tank then I reckon one with the pump internally mounted would be my pick.. In my mind I guess a returnless system might be prone to heating the fuel and possible vapour lock, but OEM are smart enough for this to not be a problem, but they might do stuff like speed control of the pump to slow the flow at low consumption, or an in tank pump with internal bypass?
  9. I did weld on an male fittings for the oil system on the Mazda, which in my mind is more robust than a screw in. They are pretty cheap too.
  10. It'll happen pretty slowly given the volume supplied by a small air compressor, and it's not like you'd dial up some air pressure and head off for lunch..i spent a few years pressurising aircraft fuel tanks and fuselages without getting on the news.. It might even start to take shape on a hot day in the sun if it's all sealed up..
  11. I'd be tempted to gently feed it a bit of compressed air on a warm day to pop it back to round. Might take a while but if you can seal it it'd probably only need a couple of psi. If the water doesn't want to pop it out it might fold the crease and make it worse.

    PAINT THREAD

    I have one if these which came in handy when I did the rollcages in my Mazda and Honda, good for tight spots or small items / areas. I found the smaller tip didn't really suit my normal painting programme of fast an full bore, so I had to adapt a bit. Foolishly I tried it out on a large panel once, won't do that again, It was painfully slow and nowhere near as even as the normal sized gun.. Pretty sure this is the one.. https://www.autobodytoolmart.com/product/devilbiss-startingline-mini-detail-spray-gun-802405/automotive-paint-guns
  13. Crap photo off my computer screen, alternator doesn't look all that different..
  14. I think the alternator from a 2e is physically smaller but will bolt up to the 1g brackets, long time since I put one onto 1ggte so I'd have to check my facts..
  15. Nope white, it's been released and is now available, but yeah as a premium plate, so $2499 is too spendy for me.. If I add a letter at the start it becomes a fixed format for $599
  16. Thanks gents. It's 2 letters and a number which means if it's able to be released it's likely to be expensive... There is a 3 letter 2 number combo that would work to for cheaper..
  17. Perhaps the right place to ask, has anyone had success getting a government issue plate (not mine)which has been deregistered long ago reissued as a personalised plate?
  18. Some sort of additional hidden thermal fuse? / Broken wire.
  19. It's had a selection of tyres, from budget through to pirelli pzero, 245 40 19, none last very long, some of the issue in my case can probably be attributed to the leaf spring live axle rear end.
  20. Is this going to be a street car or dedicated drag machine? If my lightly modified fg turbocoon ute is anything to go by this thing is likely to be a serious handful... The way the torque piles in from ~2200rpm is insane in these 4 litre engines. Even with a gentle roll on into the throttle in 4th gear starting at 80kph by the time you get to peak torque at 120kph a few moments later it's properly baking the rear tyres.
  21. Sounds nasty, if not valve train then could be injector, perhaps unplug one at a time to confirm. Or if you have a scan tool you might see a fuel trim number which is off the charts?
  22. I had similar in my Honda whilst trying to optimise pedal height, back the pedal off so you have a bit more freeplay at the top end of the pedal movement, should be golden.
  23. Does that then mean there is no faff about with starter engagement? Because non OEM starter placement can be a bit of a pain in the arse to get right as far as teeth engagement and throw out etc.. and if you can eliminate that hurdle it'd be worthwhile.
  24. What diameter is the relief in the crank, can you start them flush by drilling and tapping to m12?
  25. Does that coolant line from the back of the head have a bracket back to the block? I reckon it might need one if it doesn't.
