hey guys i live in tasmania and here everyone either hates geminis because they're 'bogan' or they love the car like i do. i've got an 84 tg that i'm fixing up. i want the car to go hard, to show these guys down here what a gemini can really do. i want to put a bigger engine in the car- i was first thinking of a 2ltr piazza turbo but those engines are hard to come by. but now i'm thinking of a 2.6ltr rodeo engine. how does that sound to you guys? and what about the standard 1.6 engines? what could you do to them to make them put out? i'm not a mechanic or anything but i love geminis and i've got mates who can make the conversion happen. i just don't know what's good and what's not. so any opinions or engines suggestions will be thoroughly appreciated. thanks, sam.

Hey Mate,

where abouts in tas are you? if your down south
then talk to mozza at moonah auto salvage he knows a lot
about gemini's. I you do the 2.6 conversion you will need
engineer approval but if you put in a G200 you dont I have
approval from the transport to put a TO3 draw through turbo
setup on my G200 but now I am going EFI turbo route.

also if you know anyone that wants a complete draw thru setup minus the turbo letus know

cheers

Macca
