    no spark

    in Ignition and Electrical

    Posted

    ok

    i still don't know why i'm not getting spark,but when my key is in the on position the ballast resistor get super hot(don't ask me how i found out).

    can you hook a ballast resistor up backwards?

    i'm positive i hooked everything back up the same way,i hope?

    why would this happen?

    cold air intake

    in 6 Cylinder Z Forums

    Posted

    I was just wondering if this could this work:

     

    could you put a cold air intake on a carb'ed car and will it work like on fuel injection cars by sucking air in?

     

    i would make a air tight box to go over the top and it would not cost me anything but the price of a filter.

     

    please tell me if you think this would work or if i'm just full of it.

    well i think it is my box because here's what happend:

    when out to look at it for the 500 time,so I tryed to start the car one more time,still nothing ,so i get out and knock on the box and hear this,psss,POP pssss :shock::shock: !!!

    and then this melted smell :shock:

    now i know every thing is hooked up right so why would this happen?

    it is a old box almost 6 years,could the box just have gone bad?

    well i think i'll go buy another box when i get paid but if any body has an idea as to why this happend please help :-D

    4bbl L28

    4bbl might not be the way to go,but i do have equal length runners due to having the 4 bbl bolt up to the SU intakes.

    and in order for me to change back to Su's witch i don't plan on doing i would have to change my whole fuel system and take off my nitrous.

    ok guys,my Z has been sitting for almost a year and i got every thing hooked back up and i'm not getting a spark? now could this be my coil or igniton box?

    i have a crane cams PS-91 coil and crane cams XR-700 igniton box.

    could my box have gone bad cause i dont think it is the coil cause i hooked up a different coil and still no spark but it was a stock coil but should that make a difference?

    i just don't know what else it could be and i thought i would ask the Z gods

     

    I HATE ELECTRICAL :evil::evil::evil:

     

    thanks

    i have the 4bbl manafold on my 71 but i got the one that hooks up right to the su intakes and it also has a 75 shot of nitrous on it,plate under the carb.

    this set up runs great and i have never had problems with it,and its very easy to tune.

    targa top

    in Body Kits & Paint

    I was wondering the same thing and I would think as long as you had good frame rails and a full rollcage it would be just fine but if people can make a convertable w/o a rollcage why not a targa top? :confused:

    new forum board

    in Non Tech Board

    Posted

    First off, i know i dont post much, but i have read this board for the last 2 years, and figured you all would like to know. I'd like to tell you all about a new club that started awhile ago, and is now starting a forum for. Meeka Motorsports.

     

    The problem that myself and others have found is that almost every other car club or alternative forums are too "divided" if you will. They are "Honda" forums, or "LS1" forums, etc. None of these truly seek to bring all automotive enthusaiasts together - rather, to bring owners of the same car together.

     

    The entire concept of Meeka Motorsports is an atmosphere where ALL automotive enthusiasts can come together no matter what car they drive -- as long as they respect others. It shouldn't matter if you drive a Honda or a Ferrari... you should be able to respect a well-modified car.

     

    If this sounds like the place for you, we will all welcome you and share in our admiration for modifying all types of vehicles.

    what about a 2JZ-GTE engine?

    i would like to do this swap.

    has anyone ever heard of this swap before?

    i think it would be eaiser than a RB26dett

    because the turbos are on the passenger side of the 2JZ-GTE and driver side of the RB26dett

    so not to interfer with the steering rod

    of course i could be wrong.
