Compliments of "kiznook"...

Depends... earlier GM computers (example, TPI motor) must be mounted in the cabin. Later motors (example, LT1) are sealed and can be mounted in the engine compartment.
I haven't done a TPI swap, but having owned TPI cars, I'm relatively certain there is enough harness length to get the ECU in the glove box or below it.

Your work has been a personal inspiration for over a decade. Kudos!

You can also do it with a dual pick-up distributor and a Hobbs switch.

For the record, RP was suspended for one day. I'm hoping he takes that time to "think it through", as he put it.
-
OK,
I'll change to have viewpoints without thinking them through.
Wrong answer.
-
RP,
Enough. Not every topic needs to be an argument. Having a different outlook or viewpoint is perfectly fine, but it doesn't always need to be 'proven'.

By the way, dont be grouping S2000's into this whole Honduh thing.
Sorry Brad

Gents,
Aaron has the means and motivation to address an issue that plagues our forum. The ad's for electronics and such are mostly a nuisance, but we're seeing more and more pornography and related spam crop up, and it's only going to get worse. Aaron has been on a warpath to keep them at bay for years. He has the skills and ambition to do what we need, and our forum will be a better place for his efforts. I'm thankful he's willing to help.
And, for the record, Aaron has a passion for Datsuns and Datsun people surpassed by few others.

It's a REALLY long story, with a precursor that I'll skip, but the 'important' point is, a couple months ago, BRAAP and I are in a junkyard doing our own thing. He walks towards me, raises his hand and says loudly "I FARTED!!!"
Big ass smile on his face, obviously proud his 'product'. The rest of the JY staring and waiting for him to begin licking a nearby window.

John, To clarify, you're saying the shift added .3 to the total time, not just .3 to complete the shift, correct?

Wait, where is he going??
Yeah, some of the staff has all the intellect of two buh foo

Thank you all!
Happy.. uh.. er... 40th, right?
Mistaken, as usual. But, more importantly, I'll NEVER be as old as you!

Bart, Please exercise some patience and limit bumping to once or twice per week.

I think he's talking about this one. Amazing...
This one?...
Yes, Spreadbury's car is VERY nicely crafted. However, It's a single cam/single turbo. Roostmonkey was talking about a twin cam/twin turbo...
I've never seen another like it, so I'm curious

Theres a guy on 510realm that did a beautiful VG30dett.
Got a link? I did just that, a few years back. Definitely not a 'weekend project'. Would like to see how another chap faired.

Thick skin, Boy's. Thick skin.

Is that the Mitsubishi 3.0?
-
The greasier her hands got, the more fun she had! And I think she was bummed the flesh wound was 'puny'
I hope she doesn't think every engine tear down begins with farm equipment
Glad you guy's could make it out.

I'm thinking now I may have installed the distributor drive spindle slightly out.
Wolf doesn't care where the 'sync pulse' is relative to cylinder one. It can all be handled via the software. Just sequence the coils accordingly and the result is the same. The only real downside is when you disassemble things, you must get it back on the same spline or your timing will be off. On the other hand, if you start off with quill shaft clocked 'correctly', it makes it easier when it comes time for reassembly.

Turns out the '96 and later EFI is a nuisance. BMW incorporated a security system (EWS II), with a matching ECU (Siemens), and key w/embedded resistor & antenna. As I understand it, the matching ECU is a non-issue, but the rest of the system must remain functional. I'm not super excited about the extra complexity and cost of retrofitting the EWS system in the 260.
An alternate choice is to use an earlier harness and ECU. BMW did use an an earlier EWS system (EWS I), but Conforti makes an EWS delete chip that fits the older Bosch ECU, for $300. Much cleaner and not a bad price... until you start sourcing a harness, ECU, and schematic. Now we're sneaking up on the price of a midrange aftermarket ECU. There goes the budget
