off topic put my mates 17" rim on the hatch! !

good points, these wheels are pretty cool though, old school and slick 8) i kinda get sick of seeing cars with the typical machined on black every joe has a set of those, i wanted to have bigger wheels but again old school keep some form or originality. In saying this the wheels sizing is the same f...

hey guys, looking at some 14x6 wheels whats the minimum offset it has to be and also what type of tyre's should i be chasing? the guy has 175/65/14 but i cant find the thread but one of you guys mentioned 45 or 50/14 if so who knows which company produces them? i feel like a d**k i know this has bee...

So long as you get a pulley for the sc made at the correct boost it won't be an issue, the issue is that it's hard enough to fit an amr300 yet alone the 500 again I don't know what others have done. Here is a link to the specs if you want to work out pulley sizes. http://superchargersunlimited.com/s...

maybe one day.....but for now this cryogenic treatment seems to be the no 2. choice.

oh by the way id still would like to know if anyone has gotten a concrete price on forged pistons because that would be sweeeeet!

the guy finally called me back and said nitriding is not the way to go, as for the cryogenic treatment is $100 for block, pistons, rods, crank and cam! So since the engine is fully rebuilt now ill take it in on friday, reading other forums on cryogenic people seem to have mixed opinions but ohh well...

So I just rang up a company and said I would have to be specific about the compound of which the pistons are made from??? Although he was nice enough to say he would find out for me. Another option he said is cryotemp which is supposed to harden components ie. Pistons, crank, cylinders etc. Here is ...

So doing a little random research, i came across a couple of forums that spoke about getting engine internals nitrided. Apparently its supposed to increase the hardness of standard pistons, do not know how accurate this is but i though id see if any of you have ever heard of it before. Also another ...

Like to know who here has put one of these on? Can anyone confirm the type of crank pulley used? Also wouldn't a amr500 be better for an f8b?

Good perspective thanks for the advice if I get stuck I'll sure put another post up

Fair enough, was it overly complicated or pretty straightforward for the efi setup? I could imagine it costing a couple of thou though. As you could tell pretty new to the scene have been reading a bit just a little stuck which way to go, n/a, carby turbo, efi turbo or s/c

i spoke to a mob here in bris (chilton engineering) about me wanting to turbo an f8b and he said forged pistons for sure, so i rang up another place and quoted me $1450! id rather run the risk of the engine blowing, im sure ill find cheaper i still dont know how im going to turbo the beast either ca...

figured but i though i just ask, just another quick question to you brayden are you running forged pistons?

what are my chances of sourcing a new f8b block i've had a look around but just feel like i'm going in circles, but then again you guys are the pros!
