how is soda blasting equipment different from sandblasting equipment? I've already got the 40lb harborfreight sandblaster. [option 2]

anybody know a good place that'll do a whole car?

I'm planning on making a catch can, coolant overflow tank, and EFI surge tank from some sheet aluminum i have. I've got a lot of .063", and a bit of .125" sheet. In your opinion would the .063 be an adequate thickness for all of these items? i was wondering mostly for the surge tank, because i believe my fuel cell is made from .125" . The surge tank is before the high pressure efi pump though...I'm pretty sure the .063'' will be okay for the catch can , and coolant overflow...because they're made from plastic sometimes... thanks.

it looks like the further inner nut can rotate freely when you're adjusting the arms, and is held in place by the set screw.

looks good, he should be able to sell a lot more now that they're on car adjustable.

i've thought of two diy options for a cam sensor. one involves drilling a hole in the front of the head and running a hall effect sensor in there , and a magnet on the cam gear...but thats unlikely, because i have to idea where would put the sensor.... what ill probably end up doing is using a distributor i modiefied. they have an optical trigger wheel inside them, pics are in here in someones rwd ve thread i basically took all the crap out...left the optical sensor, and i'll have the shaft machined so that it's shorter. idk if i'll go through with this or not. it depends on how much the machining would cost. http://www.sr20forum.com/showthread.php?t=189071&page=3 or you could order a sr20ve 20V CAS which is a direct bolt on http://www.sr20forum.com/showthread.php?t=189976 inquire in the VE forum for getting a VE head. if you get just a sr16ve head it'll be like 1000, you pretty much wont be able to find a complete sr16ve. your best bet is to find a complete sr20ve and take the head off, through "andreas miko" on the forum to get engines the price of a sr20ve "$1600 is a rip. $1300 on average, $1200-1250 if he cannot prove low miles and great condition. $1400-1450 if the motor is really low miles and clean as hell." fwd head bolts up to a rwd block. and run the external vvl oil feed line as explained in the earlier link.

faster turbo spool, better torque curve, more expensive, more hp/torque in general compared to an identical but non VVL sr20, more time to fabricate everything needed, better mpg, more headaches, and more jdm-ness? sr20det block, sr16ve head, w/turbo. woohoo 510 posts!

funny you should say that, read my sig closer. and check out these threads VVL to DE port comparison the VVL head flows better than the standard DE or DET http://www.sr20forum.com/showthread.php?t=162336 same mod would be performed for a rwd VE you need a custom intake manifold [i cut the plenum off mine, and am making my own. cant weld it yet because i need a 50amp circuit, but that'll change soon.] I you want the engine close to the firewall you either need to notch the firewall for the vvl solenoids and dizzy, or run a standalone that doesn't need the dizzy,[ ie megasquirt n EDIS... or what have you...] and get some plates machined to relocate the solenoids [this is what i'm doing, long process...lazy machinist and for cams.. theres 2 companies that make them, but people have been too cheap to buy them/ and they're not satisfied with the testing that went into making them. most people run sr16ve or sr16ve N1 cams, but thats for NA. People who boost VVL's usually use sr20ve cams VVVdig around here and do a search for kelford cams and franklin camsVVV http://www.sr20forum.com/forumdisplay.php?f=41 search around and check out the stickies, lots of good info.

rs watanabe's come in 16x9.5

awesome swap.

http://www.caswellplating.com/ they've got a lot of cool plating,powder, anodizing kits and finishes etc check it out!

i paid 1000 for mine 1971 hls30 09507... pretty rusty, but i was sick of trying to find a series 1, so i snatched it up.

i like your dash, it looks sorta similar to mine! have you considered the STACK digital gauge? im not to familiar with it, but its just another option out there for you. http://www.stackinc.com/prod1.html

ill probably be there walking around... no zcar with me either.

i think heard the guys on zcar bashing you guys about something, and came to check it out, never looked back!

240's have a huge soft horn button too...

you could probably get a decent new mig for around 500 http://cgi.ebay.com/HOBART-HANDLER-140-NEW-MIG-WELDER-FREE-SHIP_W0QQitemZ250095199467QQcategoryZ113743QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

...and the person who stays in the car longest gets to keep it? like in every early 90's sitcom?

can anyone else see it? i feel like a hacker now! ok now davyz's is showing...

pic is not showing for me

around what year excel were the from?

later on they had the three rotor it looks like http://cp_www.tripod.com/rotary/pg09.htm

AN fittings on a budget? good luck...ive probably spent nearly 500 on all the ones i've got so far, and i'm not even done yet.

i wanted to do that before to make sakura replicas, you're just gonna have to design them and find a machinist willing to do make them for you. i wish i could be of more help but i dont know of any specific place that would do that.
