Put a good clutch in it then you can slip your 3rd and 4th gear syncro hubs and have to pull it apart again......Been there done that.....

I am running 6x26 M&H slicks on 5.5" rims. M&H sells a DOT version 215/65 15. It would work fine for you. Has the big M&H on the sidewall, and enough tread to be legal.

Don't get too high of gears......you are only a 1600 off boost unless you want it working so hard it wants to go in boost on cruise......

Re: 1600 turbo build thread
I guess there is no way to be sure. But it is dead flat here and shouldn't be loaded too much. I hope to get a better feel for what's happening as I drive it more. Right now I'm trying to watch the speedo, tach, boost, afr, and vacuum all the time. Just to try to get it tuned right.

Re: 1600 turbo build thread
I'm getting 'tire pour' or too many lol
26x6 M&H slicks mounted on 6"Centerline copies.
7.5/23 x15's M&H slicks Mounted on 7" Centerlines that came on the bug ,good for the 1/8 mile(got caught in the rain on a cruise wasn't as bad as I expected
and the 215 65 15 M&H DOT's which is a street slick that I just picked up at the latest swap meet That I probably will mount on the 6"centerline copies

Re: 1600 turbo build thread
Ok. So I have to order some stuff so I'm going to go ahead and get my clutch and pressure plate ordered. Since I have a 180mm fly wheel I have to get one of those too. So what's the consensus? Lightened or stock weight?

How bout this? http://www.cbperformance.com/product-p/1305.htm
That said, unless you are racing the car around turns and need insta rpm to get you out of said turns, a stock weight flywheel will do you much better than a light one.

Re: 1600 turbo build thread
That's interesting. I did some reading last night and some say not to run a lightened fly wheel unless you have a cw crank too. Berg says to run lightened you need a weighted pulley.

Re: 1600 turbo build thread
and Berg was the only guy who sold them weighted pulleys
seems they will put more stress on that rear little crank bearing
just run a stock Flywheel, remember turbos like the 'Load'
I'm still tryin the figure out how u ran a 180mm on a 1600 crank must of been an O-ring style? and not the step

Re: 1600 turbo build thread
Beats me buddy. I just took the fly wheel off my 1200 and bolted it on the 1600. I guess? It was nearly 10 years ago.
I guess anyway. I just put a starter in it and I had to put a 6v starter in for it reach.

Maybe if you are good at TIG welding. Probably best left to the pros, I sometimes have to remind myself that just because I can do something doesn't mean that I should.
Good Luck
