Don't know anyone in WA, but BRAAP is in OR - and he knows his SH*T.....

You should disconnect the fuel injector for that cylinder for any and all driving/testing, engine running or you are wasting gas and possibly diluting your oil. Next, check the compression after putting in a couple teaspoons of engine oil in the spark plug hole. If compresision goes up, then your rings are shot in that cylinder. Normally the other cylinders would be close. You have not posted readings for all cyloinders, which you should do, both before and after with the oil treatment in the spark plug hole. If the compression does NOT go up, then you have valve problems - considerably cheaper to resolve.

Or you could use racingmini_mtl's P&H injector boards to get everything you can out of the injectors. (faster response time for bigg injectors (assuming turbo app and large injectors - more granularity)...

I have the "Flame" HF hood, and I always weld with a halogen light shining on the work. This allows me to see adequately w/o flashes on a setting a little darker than the lowest setting. I also have the least expensive HF helmet for people that ocme over and want to watch and no-one has gotten flashed with it either. I will say that for TIG, you would want a better helmet tho...

Chartreuse Green - a 1972 color - the color code is 123. PPG's code is 44729 check it out here: http://www.tcpglobal.com/aclchip.aspx?image=1972-datsun-pg01.jpg

Great Gabe! Looking forward to seeing the dyno results! Wondering what I need for my 2.8...

Do a search on Zero Rust before you buy the POR-15... The one thing about POR I don't like, other than the more than occasional problem of topcoating, is that it is so hard it cracks, which will let moisture in. Zero rust is less expensive, soesn't crack and is easy to reapply and topcoat. There have been a number of converts from POR to ZR that I have corresponded with that made enough good arguments for me to decide on the ZR route - and money was not a concern at all....

You may need some 1/4" spacers.

Not in order: DIY is GREAT! Good support and well built product - can't go wrong. You didn't specify what car you were putting this in - if it is already an FI car, then you probably don't need the relay stuff. The Pallnet fuel rail you will need with the Supra injectors is the 11mm, not the 14mm (14mm is for domestic injectors which are usually high impedance). The Supra injectors are low impedance, and I would recommend getting the P&H boards from racingmini_mtl on the MSExtra forum - I already have four of them (two projects). If you want 300 HP, then you will HAVE to go turbo, and the T04E 50 trim with a T3 turbine section will be fine for you.

THey say it is for any exhaust housig that has the 5 bolt Ford style exhaust housing. Supposedly it can handle the GT series turbos, but that may only be at high boost - not low boost - too much to bypass...

OOPS! - put the link in...

I think THIS would be your best bet for an internal wastegate - I plan on using it, and Hughdogz is already using it...http://www.atpturbo.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=ATP-WGT-023&Category_Code=WGT1

How about a Mazda MX3?

Those 500's were pretty sweet! I had a '75 Yamaha RD350, until a '75 Town Car ran a red light.....only 40 days and 4700 miles on it...

+10 at least...may need to roll wheelwell lips.

The coolant temp sensor needs to be replaced - my gas guage reads right as rain. You do need the analog harness unless you LIKE splicing....You may also need to swap out the defroster switch...

Flexi: Can't answer your question, but MSII_Extra has a field for Cranking Advance. I have a friend w/and '82ZXT running SDS and he has the same problem - have to set up what advance the car likes to crank with @ 500 RPM (10) and then ramp it up in 250 RPM intervals to the full 20.

Media Blasting is the only way to be sure you get everything and not leave anything chemical in there. Compressed air will get out most if not all of the media. I would coat the inside of the support with Zero Rust, but others will probably chime in and say to use POR-15...

Actually, compressor size/engine size ratio and amount of boost plays a part in the configuration for an intercooler. A stock or near stock size compressor section should have the tubes going sideways (longer) to get rid of as much heat as possible. Huge compressors which don't heat the air as much for the same boost are better off with shorter tubes oriented vertically.

I had a conversation w/Boris a few years ago, and we use a Bosch knock sensor that KnockSense supports...

Thermodynamics of Hell The following is an actual question given on a University of Washington chemistry mid-term. The answer by one student was so profound" that the professor shared it with colleagues, via the Internet, which is, of course, why we now have the pleasure of enjoying it as well. Bonus Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)? Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law (gas cools when it expands and heats when it is compressed) or some variant. One student, however, wrote the following: "First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So we need to know the rate at which souls are moving into Hell and the rate at which they are leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving. As for how many souls are entering Hell, let's look at the different religions that exist in the world today. Most of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell. Since there is more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all souls go to Hell. With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially. Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand proportionately as souls are added. This gives two possibilities: 1) If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose. 2) If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over. . So which is it? If we accept the postulate given to me by Teresa during my Freshman year that, "...it will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you," and take into account the fact that I still have not succeeded in having an affair with her, then #2 above cannot be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and will not freeze over." THIS STUDENT RECEIVED THE ONLY "A".

I have my harness that I will not be4 using (MS and aftermarket injectors)...

You will need 6 BP's, just like you would need 2 of the models you linked to - one channel for each coil...

Why not use the new3 BP's that DIY has? They're cheap...
