bump?!

Thanks for the reply, Yea I saw this picture also. Does it not seem strange that here isn't a gasket there? Is there anyone here who has rebuilt a m50 bottom end who can tell me

Hi people, Went to install my oil pump back on to the block last night and stopped because I thought I was missing a gasket. http://ep.yimg.com/ca/I/yhst-59326584023620_2266_77118099 (Not my oil pump but doesn't matter) On the face where the oil channel is that meets the block. Is this supposed to have a gasket? I can't see any bottom end gasket set with one that will work. I can just make one but could someone please clear this up for me.

Yea nah wanted NZ suppliers.

Ahhh kk, that makes alot more sense now What piggyback ecu are you using? Does it allow you to change spark and fuel etc?

So you are going to change the ECU on this beast you are creating? Do the M50 COP's have a known limit? Or is it to get away from having 6 separate coils

How does mechanical spark help you? Surely with the addition of a turbo fueling is also gonna be a problem. I really cant fathom where the advantage is over COP

Androids will dominate the world. The nature of Android (OSS) allows manufactures to compete at every market price point. Microsoft and Apple cannot stop it they can only hope to prize out niche customers. Iphone will always be a strong player at the top end of the market. I cannot see the win7 phone ever being a real contender in the cell market. Only douchebag MS fanboys will even bother imo. OS4 is a better operating system currently (more responsive, better battery life). Give it to Android 3.0 and there will be virtually no difference. If I was going to buy an expensive phone i would get a iphone4 currently but since Im a cheap barstard (and spend all my money on cars) Android is the only way to go.
