Mats, You are welcome anytime. (Although something tells me the weather and food is better at Jim K's!) Better yet, we can take a short drive to see Jim Steck at his shop. You may want to reconsider that "swings both ways" comment... Here in "Umerica" that has a W-H-O-L-E differe...

Yes, I guess it is a bit sacriligious! I was just thinking about the free-flowing head, certainly new cams... scrap the Spica and of course lower the CR. Come to think of it, do you have or know of any technical data on how well the heads flow? I am just assuming the 16v head flows better than the 8...

Barry, The original setup generated 240 whp @ 7200 with 15 psi of boost. With the tuned header and split turbine inlet the engine made 234 whp with 10 psi of boost. It also "seems" more responsive. Jim and I calculated power at 15 psi to be 283 whp. I have NOT dynoed it at 15psi yet and pl...

JJ, With all due respect... I think you are missing the point. You need to decide what you want first; where will you dirve it, how much power will you put through it and of course how much do you want to spend? Keep in mind everything is a compromise. For the street, a stock box in good working ord...

JJ, A transmission WITHOUT syncro's can be driven without grinding gears as long as double-clutching is done properly; perhaps a bit more practice is in order? I have 20K miles on my turbo car which uses a stock Milano Platinum box and clutch with no problems. Even the guibo's have held up so far. W...

Welcome back Michael, glad to see the site up and running again. More than happy to help with the logo again... any ideas on what you might like to see?
