  1. 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.

  2. 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'.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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)

  6. 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:

  7. Has anybody configured the RPM Shift lights from one of the spare ignition outputs?

     

    Yup.

     

    Would I be right in assuming that you just connect at light (probably LED) to the ignition output and put a limiting resistor in assuming the output is 12 or 13.5V?

     

    Yes, as long as you understand a couple things...

     

    1) the ignition outputs only pull to ground, so you'll need to provide a power source on the opposite leg. You can use 12v like you suggested, providing a properly sized resistor is used.

     

    2) The drawback to choice #1 is potential risk of the voltage regulator going belly up, sending too much voltage to the LED (and blowing it). In my case, it would be a pain to replace a popped LED. An alternate choice is to use one of the regulated outputs on the V500. There is a spare 5v and a spare 8v power source built in for such occasions. These are regulated so you're reasonably assured a stable voltage regardless of system voltage.

  8. Let me be the first to say that I'm very pleased. The 'quietness' is a good (albeit somewhat flawed) meter. Along with the build up of cobwebs in the shed, its been a long while since any member was permanently banned. The temporary suspensions have also been reduced to a minor rate. Not bad for 16,0000 members and only a handful of active staff. My hats off to you guy's! :cheers:
