SAUers,

Found this old mag (Wheels, July 1990) whilst cleaning out the home office. I scanned it thinking some of you may be interested.

The article cites 576bhp @1.8Bar, driving 1325kg car. That was 15 years ago...

Elsewhere in the mag there is an article on the 'new' 5.0L Ford HO motor. "Ford's brawny V8 is back with a vengeance" and 165kW. :P

Mark

PS I've got it in a larger .pdf that's around 1.8Mb, if it's hard to read or for bigger pics.

PPS Check the filename for the page order, the comp has loaded them back to front.

Sent to all above addresses and PM's.

Guerilla: It's no trouble - for what I've taken out of SAU, it's the least I can do.

Intensevil: Thanks dude. If you PM me the link I'll edit the first post to make it easier for everyone else and save the wait. Cheers

Mark

    • I'm actually not sure - I think it was "Stealth Performance" (It really is near impossible to find a FEMALE 1/8BSPT to 1/8NPT male at ALL) but having the thing leveraged on a 90 degree angle on a small aluminium fitting is not too smart. Also in not too smart, I've drilled out the center of the broken fitting so there's maybe 0.00001mm of thread to bite into, so yeah. I may have to get it drilled/tapped/plugged entirely. Given I could conceivably tap a thread/adapter/pressure line in any point in the oil system I suppose it's feasible to run a line to the Nissan Sensor to keep the dash working. Do these exist in AN fittings and the like? Like an AN fitting that has a NPT (or other?) thread as well for putting a sensor in?
    • I would agree.  There will be an amount of boost you could run safely with an otherwise factory system, but it would be low enough to not be worth the cost.  And if you are reliving your 20s, you know a 'little bit' was never enough. Personally, if I didn't want to spend the money, then stick with NA bolt-ons, and maybe a tune.
    • Fuark, at least the motor survived. What brand was the fitting that snapped?
    • Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.
