  1. I'd like to get rid of every emissions related item on my car, but I keep reading and finding things that lead me away from that path. The intakes on these cars are just so bloody ugly. Seeing everybody's nice, clean intakes makes me happy inside.

     

    To clarify, the air regulator has nothing to do with emissions. It's simply a fast idle device for better starting/idling with a cold engine. It's a 'nicety'.

     

    Sometimes the clean manifolds you speak of still retain full functionality... the parts may be hidden. The air reg. doesn't HAVE to go on top of the plenum.

  2. Tony, Download the EFI bible. It will help you grasp the various sub-systems.

     

    The coolant hoses help keep the bi-metallic strip warm for a period of time after shutdown to help with warm re-starts. The valve will only be partially open instead of fully open (substantially faster idle isn't necessary in that case). It's a small refinement... a lot of folk delete the coolant lines for appearances.

  3. Just curious if anyone here has setup a distributorless ignition setup on a L series engine with crank angle sensor etc.

     

    I've done it a couple times. So has Hughdogz & KTM. Easiest way is to use the '83-'84 280zxt CAS sensor.

     

     

    search for EDIS

     

    EDIS isn't directly compatible with Wolf.

  4. Re anti squat, for a circuit/road course car you don't want it

     

    I hear Vette's work pretty well :wink:

     

     

    I'm having a tough time finding a good pic of antisquat.

     

     

    Not sure what kind of pic you're looking for, but here are a couple...

     

    C4 5-link...

    C5 Double A-arm...

    Notice the whole cradle is 'rotated'.

  5. The engine you show has a larger turbo

     

    Nope. Stock T25.

     

    It just seems like a nice swap to me. I'm not quite sure why people object to a four banger in this light a car, seems made for it to me.

     

     

    I have nothing against it. In fact, I think it could be a nice swap. I was just trying to provide back-up for the weight.

  6. The combined weight of the SR, the turbo, the intercooler, and associated plumbing make the SR swap very close to the weight of a NA L6.

     

    I found John to be nearly spot on this weekend. We weighed a stock L24 and also a mildly mod'd SR20DET, including intercooler and plumbing. The L6 is about 30-35lbs heavier, but the SR trans is about 15 lbs heavier.

     

    Post #2 & #12... http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=125246

     

    Installed in like trim, total weight should be pretty darn close.

  7. SR20DET....

     

    With aftermarket clutch, top mount exhaust manifold, external wastegate, cast pan, oil, and alternator.

     

    No water, starter, air filter, MAF, intercooler & piping...

     

    349.8 LBS

     

     

     

    With aftermarket intercooler, complete intake piping and MAF...

     

    365.9 LBS

     

     

     

    (Tare weight zero'd)

  8. Is anybody interested in a complete build how to, while I am doing this. I have run into things that have not been mentioned and there aren't any builds, with an SR,that I could find. I looked in the build section but haven't been able to find things before, so may have just missed them. logr

     

    This forum is founded on such things. Swap info is welcome and appreciated :2thumbs:
