correct size cometic gasket
Hi Everybody Well the order has gone in for the parts and they should all be here by April apart from the head gaskets , i am not sure what size ( thickness to go for ) here is the list of the spec i have bought PE 1420 Turbo Charger Kit Wiseco 87.5mm Pistons Nismo 555cc injectors (pre-1994) Injector O-ring (top) Injector O-ring (bottom) bypass water hose Engine Gasket Kit (excl. stock head gasket) Rubber Half-moon gaskets (left out of above kit) Turbo Inlet Gasket Kit Cometic Head Gasket (88mm) ***** Eagle Rods ARP VG30 Head Stud Kit MS Manifolds Border Front mount Intercooler Profec b boost controller what would the techies out there advise ?? i am swayed towards the 1.524 +0.060" i am loooking for a good tourque figure over outright power so i aim for about 400 rwhp , at the moment i will be using a DTA chip to suit the above but i will be upgrading to a stand alone ECU in the near future so mapping , problems with Det should not be much of an issue thanks Guys Steve

Jwt 530bb Or Z1 Gt600r
if you want much better pick up and not bothered about top end go for a new diff a third of the price and you dont need to take the engine out ........some on here have the NA diff installed or an after market diff i have heard it makes a hell of a difference

Sierra Cosworth
fast , quick , great street cred and road presence but now old and now brittle ..........and will have been thrashed mercilessly most of its life .............it was only designed to have 220bhp the RS500 was designed to take up to 500bhp and had chassis brakes to match , the saphire cossie is on its limit of the chassis coping at 300 bhp .......so unless extensive susspension and brake upgrades have been done i would steer clear.

Pimp my stock-calipers
Hi Patrick the calipers over time do sieze and the performance of them fades , its not a difficult job to sort out , they can be overhauled , new seals etc i think Danny at DTA or smithy or Z1 will sell you a brake overhaul kit , while you are at it change the fluid for dot 5.1 and get some ferrodo DS 2500 pads ditch themetal pads as they take ages to heat up in road use and will eat your discs would you rather sacrifice the pads at 70 pounds or discs at 500 ?? also fit a brake booster brace steve

Running rich
could be the lambda sensor steve and its over fueling to prevent Det , ....?? have you run a diagnostic on the ECU any error codes up ??
