  1. I am starting to gather all the parts for my valvetrain and I want to have my rocker arms prepped. Are there any companies left with a great reputation that can lighten and polish them.

     

    I was thinking of going for the billet ones that are currently available , but I havent read much feedback on them. If anyone can convince me to go for them then please let me know.

  2. Twins are not for the faint hearted- it did take some fab work and yes you do need to account for extra pipework, oil lines, filters etc but it wasnt too difficult.

     

    For me it was a learning experience, what can a HKS turbo kit from Japan in the mid 80s achieve, I havent turned up the boost yet but I'm very impressed with how the power is delivered and how she drives. I've also got a set of HKS ITBs, with a HKS surge tank that will go on next to compliment the HKS theme.

     

    I'm writting from an iPad at the moment so not easy to attach pics, I'll add some when the ITBs go on.

  3. I'm running a HKS twin turbo set up on a RHD car. The turbos are 2 x HT18 38B units, old Hitachi units.

     

    The car was dynoed at 290hp and 325 lbs/ft of torque, power comes on smoothly and car is a joy to drive. The plumbing wasn't that difficult to set up and with a RHD car you have no issue with the steering linkage in the way.

  4. I've recently had a Quaife installed into my R200. Previously it took some force to remove the stub axles from the diff as there are circlips within the diff that keep it in place. However, now that the Quaife is installed the stub axles come out with no resistance which makes me think they did not put the circlips in there.

     

    Did they just forget to do this or is it the case that the quaife just isn't designed to incorporate them?

     

    I'm moving to CV shafts so are they necessary?

     

    Also, should I send it back to them or is it easy to add the clips?

     

     

    Thanks.
