I have enough to make at least 3 or 4 more, but it's nothing special at all. Just 1.5" square aluminum notched with a hole saw to allow the round coil to sit flat. The bitch has been getting them situated that I can run the spark wires. This might not be my last version before it's all over. I need to get some stock wires from the JY and see how it goes. It would be nice to just order off the shelf than to make custom sets.

Well I haven't done much lately except for fixing squeaky urethane bushings. I did manage to finish up a prototype(sounds official) for my D585 bracket. This is pretty much a finished product, but might need some tweaking once I install spark wires. It was tougher than I thought trying to find room for all this; plus the fact that Delco couldn't have made these coils anymore unsymetrical in shape. I didn't want to reroute my heater hose and it will run under the bracket. The bracket attaches with the 2 bolts for the heater hose. I plan on using studs for mounting and it will be easier to utilize the block for grounding spots ,since there are so few. I bought a complete set of coils and diced and spliced the harness to make a six banger set-up.The connectors just clear all obstacles. The spark wires might be custom or stock. The stock wires might work by just looping the extra length of wire-if you can picture that. MS power; I have kept an old 82zxt harness that was in amazing condition and I have been canning parts from it. I have pictured what i think is the main starting circuit relays or the main relays off of the zxt. The fuse terminal block with the two leads I will use in line from the battery to the main relay. I'm betting it's a 60 amp for the zxt. The two relays mounted together should be perfect for the main and the fuel relay. The battery power will come from a 10 guage wire from the + battery. I will use another ganged fuse block like the one pictured on the inner fender which will be powered off the main relay. That will be dedicated for the MS. The ganged fuse block that is already installed will be just for accessories since it is powered straight off the alternator. Question regarding ignition input. I stare at the schematic that was supplied by DIY and I am having trouble interpreting how the ignition should tie in. They show power parallel to the battery +. Are they just implying that you need a hot wire from your ignition for the relay? I might be over thinking this.

WOW-that's bad! You probably oughta just sell it while your ahead.

Squeaking urethane bushings
madkaw replied to madkaw's topic in Brakes, Wheels, Suspension and Chassis
New bushings arrived and installed. New urethane bushings no squeaky! This time I ran the suspension threw its travel to see how freely the bushing were- and they worked smoothly. -
Could you not just tap into the Cannon "runner " that's there now? In the center would give you a good signal.

Utter refusal to run at reasonable AFR's, noise problems

If you blew a HG and ANY coolant got to the O2 sensor it's done. -
What a cool idea:) http://forums.hybridz.org/topic/96528-cai-for-triple-mikunis/?hl=%2Btriple+%2Bmikuni I would have done it different though for the turbo app. Keep up the work!!

New Cam and Rockers - odd looking at 500+ miles

I think everyone has to check their rockers for being parallel. My rockers were supposedly new with my Schneider cam kit, but my wear shows an unparrallel condition-and they were.

Nice to see a happy cam story !

New Cam and Rockers - odd looking at 500+ miles
madkaw replied to inline6's topic in Nissan L6 Forum
I think my drill turns at 3800 rpm- how much do you need to see oil coming from the lobes OR spray bar. That looks like a sign of No oil. I would have pop canned a valve cover to watch it while engine was running. I would have done the drill to just prime everything. Not trying to rub anything I dude, because I know how frustrating this is got to be. -

madkaw replied to inline6's topic in Nissan L6 Forum
Damn dude - that sucks bad. I'm not for the dual oil system , but to exclusively blame that as the issue- I'm not sure about that. Like I said before, with what you have been dealing with I would have kept it simple and decided on one oiling system. Did you verify visually oil was getting to every lobe before starting? By now I would have can opened a valve cover to watch in real time. -
You really need to do some researching before you post. Your lucky this thread hasn't been thrown to the tool shed. Come back with some more specific question besides asking if anyone knows about a stock engine potential. No snobs here, just folks that have answered these basic questions a thousand times and it is well documented.

Squeaking urethane bushings
madkaw replied to madkaw's topic in Brakes, Wheels, Suspension and Chassis
Your right-somethings not right, and replacing the parts is where i'm starting-plus my new knowledge you guys have supplied. The only way i can explain is that the washer was riding squarely on the bushing flange after torqueing, because the sleeve is worn and undersized now. The large area of the washer is enough to hold the bushing which is leveraged by the LCA and loosen the nut.Once everything is loose, the nut doesn't loosen any further. -

Tony, don't want to delute this thread, but I wanted to ask about the oil port while on the subject. Trying to make sure I haven't over looked something. http://forums.hybridz.org/topic/104909-excessive-oil-pressure-issue/ -
Squeaking urethane bushings
madkaw replied to madkaw's topic in Brakes, Wheels, Suspension and Chassis
Ordered a urethane kit from prothane for the rear control arms. So i'm looking at the urethane bushings and noticed that the ID's have been slotted to hold grease-nice! I never did like the fact that the sleeve was such a tight fit on the bushing that it seemed that any lube put on there just oozed out when installing the sleeve inside the urethane. At least some of it will stay in there now. -

madkaw replied to inline6's topic in Nissan L6 Forum
While we are on the subject of head oiling. I did have the port opened up on my block during initial rebuild. I have since then had to replace the HG. I know I didn't do anything to enlarge the hole on the HG- is this a problem besides defeating the purpose of modifying the block. Not meaning to hijack your thread. Congrats and hope things stay lubed up !! -
Has anybody gotten all you can get out of a stock cam?
madkaw replied to HowlerMonkey's topic in Nissan L6 Forum
We might be surprised if someone took a late zx and MS'd it and spent some serious dyno time. I think that would give the biggest gains compared to grinding any part of the head. -
