  1. LOL... I had enough trouble with a spark plug blocking a water hose... This is what my ports look like
  2. I was wondering if anybody was interested to find out what Ive been doing for the last 9 years?
  3. Ive been building a web site so you can possibly understand what Im trying to do and have done over the last 9 years http://ampair.tripod.com I hope the blog page explanes a few things for the graphs I still have a bit to do there but all have titles

  7. Lol My project has been 8 years in the making so far Well Ive gone Digital now dont need to type so much. WWW.youtube.com was not around back then! as my old boss used to say "come here please explain!" oh dont search anywhere for video's containing "smokingwheels":) Cheers
  8. "require a current knowledge of the latest street-slang" LOL I know my english is not very good, I did my best back then. I have now made video clips of what I have been doing, it sure beats me trying to translate my my facts to English. http://ampair.tripod.com for the story. 7 of my videos have been riped so far on you tube.
  9. Hi I have a 20 mm x 20 mm x 180mm block of cutting board between the chain and curved guide at the moment. The chain maybe a bit worn but I have also had the head shaved a lot too Ive got to fix this slack chain some how. Does anybody know where to buy a custom sprocket setup that sits in place of the cover plate on the front of a L series head? Ive seen it some time ago on the net but cant find it now. I have also looked at removing links from the chain I could buy a smaller chain for a L18 engine and fit that there would be some redrilling of the chain guide etc Help !
  10. Here is a link to a short recording of what my newly worked engine sounds like right above the stock carbie, with stock cam. It seems to use a lot of fuel when hammered. i will update this link as time goes by cause its on my pc (56k modem) http://203.59.138.1/ have sum other photos at www.smokingwheels.myphotoalbum.com I would be interested if anyone could record what there car sounds like@WOT With No Load at various static timings. Putting you foot flat to floor only if you have a good rev limiter! send to smokingwheels@yahoo.com or reply to post with url etc Does anybody know where i can host my sounds for free?
  11. rocket science yes my program measures the acceleration in rpm then predicts where the pistion should be on the next firing stroke it and advances the the timing depending on rpm and rate of increase. (patent pending if i had the money) when the trigger comes say 55 deg before the event there is a small lag if the rpm is increasing. eg if the last input reading was 800 rpm and the current input is 825 rpm there could be an error of of approx 4 deg to fire the correct timing i think of it this way its a lot harder to hit a moving target with the same force as when it is stopped.
  12. i worked 180B head on L20b engine that ran on a timing curve like this http://us.f1f.yahoofs.com/bc/40c021...zjkCBGK JtEK3t total useless past 3000 rpm with stock dizzy but used to go good with about 25 deg to much advance and never melted the pistons! and what a racket it used to make. in the beging after bolting it down i nearly lifted the roof off the car port trying to start it then The big bang +flash of light. split the mufflers open like they where wet paper bags. was able to arc up in second gear it used to carbon up plugs in about 3 months ,heat range 12 i think i still have a few of them,the bearings in block lasted less than a year i later reduced the comp ratio 8 to 1 this brought the total advance back to 22 deg past 3000rpm. i felt my old engine at 8 to 1 comp had more power than the stock one im running now i also found that changing the L20 cam to a L18 cam made a slight diffrence the knocking was less with the same timing ,but no recorded values . here is some results of my engine i have data recording on accerelation figures on current motor eg 1st gear is about 13 to 14 rpm increase per pistion firing. http://smokingwheels.myphotoalbum.com/view_album.php?set_albumName=2003 my mate ......helped me toss the motor out but we didnt rip the head off im about to start work/recreate this strange thing again on a 4 cyc head in my bluebird which now has a notebook fitted to control the timing. this program has taken over 5 years to complete. i have data recording on accerelation figures on current motor eg 1st gear is about 13 to 14 rpm increase per pistion firing. the computer is not that fast only 200mhz but will run a 4 cyc near 10K rpm just ive got 3 inputs hooked up to change things like vac adv,temp, revlimiter. if my new one runs ok i will port the head on 280zx the same way. Ps: if anybody would like to convert this to english please let me know
  13. try feed the signal thru a npn transistor this will invert the singnal 10k to the base 2k2 as the collector load this may correct a slight timing problem eg to do with the leading edge
