    Project Clean 87

    Sick nasty build, even after all the set backs. Diggin the whole thing down to the lights. You can fix(patch) the rad. Pour in a bead of weld to seal up the couple of open spots shelve it and have a very nice back up. For the just in case something else happens to your build back up. :aigo:

    wierd wiring problem.

    Check your light and harness grounds, and by that I mean disconnect them clean them and reconnect them. Then put a meter on them and check. Generally when this happens its a ground fault somewhere. Ive had this happen to a Jeep, 280zx, and Chevy truck. It was all grounds.

    Never heard of anyone using these coil packs before. Is the duration and saturation characteristics of the stock ECM gonna work with them? Interested to see.

    Ssshhhhh your not supposed to notice that. Thats what is on there for now. I didnt see the point in spending the money on the Holset that I want if Im not sure that I can even get the car running again. Ive never worked with a stand alone before much less doing a complete rewire on an entire car...

    1/4 track time need help

    Embarrassment for your time slip wont help you find your problems. Its the simplest form of data logging out there. Just because it was rebuilt doesnt mean it was rebuilt correctly, down to the last bolt. How many passes did you make at the track? Was the time consistently slow? What...

    Tis how we do it Down Under!.. project 7MGTE (now running YAY)

    Keep in mind that the hood has bracing that falls below the fender line. Im just saying this because my custom intake touched the bracing and I had to cut a section of it out. But it was alot closer to the light where the whole situation tapers down. It does look to be in good standing by the...

    Have you checked for clearance between hood (bonnet) and the new intake pipe and the turbo outlet? Just thought Id ask since you dont have the hood on during fab. Its ez to forget about.

    engine overhaul question. expert advise needed

    Not just mark them, but mark the direction that they were facing. Also i would mark the bolts too, if your not replacing them. Be sure to check them for stretching before reusing them.

    20psi at 2800 rpm's. 800rwhp. Compound turbos!

    I recently got my CDL. While at school I went into the shop and was talking to some of the techs. Looking at the CAT and Pet turbo setups. The CATs always use a twin charge turbo setup. Those are some big snails and they only peak out at around 2000-2500, even tho youll never rev it that high...

    Custom Cluster

    I found an Autometer that uses a .104 cable. That should work just fine. For anyone who needs a mechanical speedo to use with the factory cable, ultra lite.

    Custom Cluster

    I no longer have any of the OEM wireing. The only thing that is still factory is the wires in the doors. There for I dont think I need to get an electric conversion box. Or do I? Guess not cause for a hundie I can get an adapter for the cable. All good info, thanks

    steering issue

    Trouble shoot. Start with checking the vac lines that go to the idle up valve on the back of the pump. Check that the belt isnt slipping. Get under the car and have your buddy turn the wheel, watch out for the rack doing anything strange. Grab it (if its not too hot) and feel for anything odd...
