  2. HI sorry to resurrect an old post, well I gues its not that old. I was wondering what was making your car fail? The last time I got a smog check I passed with really good results now I'm getting really high CO. I'm thinking it is the catalytic converter its one of those 2.5" high flow cats. They said it might be the injectors but they seem to be working fine. Bleh I wish I had a 75 280Z hehe... Mine is a 76 with a L28ET
  3. I've seen those on ebay similar anyway they have one for a skyline right now just type in "external wastegate adapter"
  4. Yep thats right its an electrical boost signal unit that sends the boost signal to the boost gauge into the car it has no effect on the ECCS system at all just to tell you your boost, that's why I chucked it when I did my swap and installed a real boost gauge.
  5. Too bad it doesn't have an EGR tube, trying to make my Z california legal =(
  6. I think it 15/16th I just destroyed mine wish they made it so you can get an closed end wrench on it =(
  7. I did the H4 conversion with the housings years ago and they turned out good. If you want to get the most out of them though you'll want to wire in a relay first.
  8. hmm that sounds very interesting, trick the ecu. Just wondering but for the turbo engines is the only thing that the ecu reads is cylinder head temp and not the coolant temp? If I remember correctly its the CHT that the ECU bases how hot the engine is.
  9. I have a 1976 280Z with an 82 turbo engine in it with the stock ecu and all. I also have a electric cooling fan with thermostatic switch that I can adjust. The engine came with these teal injectors that are obviously not the stock turbo injectors but the car ran at 12:1-14.7:1 AFR when warming up. Now I installed the brown injectors and it idles and cruises at 10:1-11:1 AFR. I notice when I'm driving the water temp needle never goes past half-way, it always a tad below it. Not enough to take it out of cold start mode unless I let the car sit in one place. I know its not the fan also because I adjust the temp higher and it doesn't do anything unless I'm sitting and the temp goes high enough to kick it on. I like the brown injectors because they're better for when I boost, the teal ones have this problem after a while it just goes lean under boost and I have to reset the ecu. anyway how can I get my car to warm up faster so it doesn't eat up so much gas. Should I get a hotter thermostat? What thermostat are the turbo guys running? Its summer and its still overcooling O_o. Why is the ecu so picky about the CHT temp when warming up garghh...
  10. fyi the ignitor should have a ground wire coming out of it connected to the chassis
  11. wow I like how you made that bar that attached to the horn mounts, I just got my stuff zipped tied to those =P I take it your not using the stock ecu?
  12. yeah mine is pretty loud too I took her out for a drive yesterday after I finished up my flares and boost controller install and noticed I can hear it over my exhuast, I got a 2/12 inch exhuast. Its louder than the t3/t4 that's on my eclipse
  13. don't forget your gauges make sure you got a: Boost Guage (one with actual numbers on it) AF ratio gauge EGT gauge that way you can tell if your going to blow it up.
