I have a chance to grab up a VJ20 and a GTX manifold. The seller says it's for the 1.8, which I believe. Can I make this turbo and/or the manifold to my B6T?...
... This would be a good setup. Just unbolt the turbo from the manifold and bolt it to your GTX one. Use the downpipe that comes with it or swap your turbo...

My memory isn't 100% but I seem to recall that you've got a fair number of mods on your setup. If this is the case then buying a pre-packaged chip is probably...

I was under the impression that the bolts were torque-to-yeild as installed OEM. But still.. $300+ into a head refresh + labor... new head bolts are what? $50...
Hi, ... Nope. I checked the manual plus did the math to figure out the yield torque on these bolts. It's buried in my notes somewhere but the yield torque was...

Actually Michael I just thought about something. If you used the B6T cross member in your swap and didn't move the mounting location left nor right, your axle...
Hello All! I just wanted to see if anyone has a good, non rusted GTX for sale? I would even take a ralley car if it has a good title. I may keep mine if I can...

... Yes I used the B6T crossmember. I think the right left movement of the motor was 1/2" or less. If you want I can make some measurements so you can verify....

Has anyone replaced the thermosensor. I want to test it but I cant find the thing. Is this the one under the intake manifold or the engine (manual's vague)?...
Thanks for the heads up Matt. The diff lock box, is it mounted to the side of the transfer case? I'm probably going to help my brother do this, and haven't...
The TS is located on the radiator on the bottom drivers side. Its a open and closed sensor depending on temperature. It should have continuity at 60+ degrees. ...
Josh, search the archives for taking the starter off. Getting the center diff motor off is easy if you know the keys, if not you will struggle for days on end....

I took a tour of the showroom. I'm speechless. Too bad the Elan front bumper has been molded into the body. Neat cars. Some pretty interesting stuff, too. 1994...
