Austarion

Any laying around?

I think you will find that when it comes to max power when effiency, driveability and a motor that only needs to run maybe 500ks from a rebuild, you can make lots of power.
Especially a turbo one.

Just for comparison there are a few sigma 2.6's with efi intercooler and turbos and damn near stock internals that pump out around 200kw at wheels without much trouble, nor revving hard(im talking 5,500rpm here). of course theres also a few with not so stock internals pumping out plenty more ponies :D

Ok fair points there. Are you in australia cos when i say 2.6, i dont mean the shit that came out in widebody starions. I mean cheap as chips sigma 2.6's. Unlike the widebody 2.6's, they dont have the crap jet velve head, they dont have the crap single point injection. Were as a sigma 2.6 block with...

My next lot of steps are to get new cooler piping and MPI. Then get another Magna head, (One without Jet Valves). Then I will port and polish it, ect and put CP forged pistons in, with new conrods and maybe new cam. After that I should be close to finishing it. I think you will find 2.6 rods are to...

I reckon magna head+big cam and mpfi would be a good start, then get the right turbo on it. Ive personally seen a starion turbo manifold and there alot smaller than sigma turbo stuff. Problem with sigma turbo stuff is you need an external wastegate which is more $$$. Also, were the hell does someone...

why even mod a 2.6 for revving? Starting with the wrong motor if you ask me. What performance can't a 2.6 get you between 0 and 7500rpm ? Is a low 11sec/high 10sec street car not enough ? Ever rode in one ? Starting with the wrong motor?? Your missing my point altogether. Its not about what you can...

Do you want reco calipers & new discs? or second hand units? I have an excellent box in stock, no crunches or leaks, was in my own car and is the last one i will have for a while. going cheap $350. Im in Doncaster. I am not after any reco gear. Just want a complete pair of front struts straight...

erm, 2.6 wide block(ie came out in sigma with a 5spd behind it) and starion 2ltr flywheels are the same diameter/studs ect. They are interchangable. DOHC dont mean crap, what matters is the angle of the valves to the cylinder, combustion chamber design, port design, manifold design/flow and filling ...

I am after a pair of front struts complete with disc/calliper.
Also interested in the box if the price is right.
Exactly were in melbourne are the parts?

I have a few points to make about astron v sirius debate. Firstly, those comenting about the handling, yes, the astron is a heavier motor, so if you were to take a starion and just bung one in without heavier springs/shocks in the front YES it will handle worse. As for the revability stuff. Well go ...

I am interested in the microtech.
Does it come with a handcontroller? Loom?
Price?
I want to run a 2.6 on efi.

Sweet ass sweet :D I lvoe it.

Is that a gen 2 magna intake manifold with a custom plenum???
What sorta turbo is it?

Well what do you know, times have changed again! Recently scored my a datsun to run around in to use as a daily driver. One '88 Nissan Pintara GXE. So it looks like the starion wont be following my previous plan.

Instead it will be either going hard with 2.6T, or not going at all :)

A guy i know races a sigma with starion front struts. He has 13x7" superlights and they Juuuusssstt fit, were talking feeler gauge stuff here.
