    I have the 79-81 style giant King Crab looking ones. For the record I also replaced the hard lines from rear junction to rear wheels and installed -4 stainless hydraulic flex lines. I also have deleted to stock BPV and plumbed the Wilwood BPV. I got the rear HT10 from Porterfield. They had one set on the shelf by chance. Bedded in and blasted off.

    My museum of intake leak hunting devices. They all have issues. Sonic leak listening gun is neat but it gets blasted by spark plug noise and stops working. Smoke machine is fine, but you end up with smoke everywhere 420 style. A well aimed Garden hose has still been one of my top devices.

    Wow. I switched to Hawk HT10 pads in the rear early 280ZX caliper and rotor and now barely pulling the e-brake locks up the backs EASILY. I have my Brake Proportioning valve turned about 3/4 out (less rear). Front are Toyota S12W / Vented with Hawk Ceramic pads. (wanted good heat resistance but less "bite" in front). This is primarily a track car now and the stock pads were RUINT after a few HPDE sessions. This should give me more heat resistance along with with Hawk Blue juice and some adjustability. Pads made a huge difference on this setup. Tj

    I removed the module and trigger directly to the MSD. Smoother idle? Ya, maybe. Seems to start better for sure (I have triples). They stabilize at whatever RPM they feel like being at that particular moment much more quickly. I had a thread a year or two ago about unstable timing indications. With this new ZX Dizzy, and the modules the timing indications are rock steady as viewed from two different timing lights.

    The Mech Adv in my dizzy was stamped 9.5 = 19 total mech advance.

    Yes I think so. I thought mine was a ZX. It had a black box on the side but it wasn't marked e12-80. It had something like Fy4 on it? I need to check. There may be a 2 and a 4 wire configuration.

    Carbs only. Linkage and other stuff is still on car. $400 for all 3? A new owner would need to rejet them, although I have a setup for a mild Z I can give you. 45f9 / 115 or 120 mains / 30 and 34 chokes. They also have an extra Progression hole CNC milled. DCOE Carbs are not plug and play.. they will change your life forever so don't expect greatness without a big investment in time and search-function. I had them running pretty darn good and dyno'd up to 7000+ RPM I don't mean to jack your thread. I apologize for putting this here.

    I'm in heavy upgrade mode still with a road-race event comin up at Inde Motorsports Ranch, Wilcox, AZ. Yesterday: ZX dizzy with MSD-6AL and r100 wires Todays plan; Hawk cermic front and Pfield R4 back and new Hawk bleu juice Coilover springs to 450f and 425r (.8 each corner weight) Need to make sure it will make the trailer approach

    No, It never really was there. With the mag pickup wires hooked up backwards in reverse polarity the timing shows funky numbers. Once polarity was corrected to Green to Green, Red to Violet the timing was where I set it statically at +15 / +35.

    Final config: Dizzy Red-to-MSD Violet DIzzy Green-to- MSD Green Dicked around with timing and got it squared away. Snap-on dial-back timing light seemed to work fine and agreed with crappy Harbor Freight non-adjustable light.

    Dizzy Red-to-MSD Green DIzzy Green-to- MSD Violet. Starts and idles perfectly and seems to run good. But Snap-on (evil dial-back light) timing indicates funky to be about +30 degrees (36 idle and 60+ all in). Reversed: Dizzy Red-to-MSD Violet DIzzy Green-to- MSD Green Starts crappily, idles lunky, spits and barks at higher rpm But Snap-on (evil dial-back light) timing indicates timin just right where I put it staticly (15 Initial / 36 higher rpm). Previous to installing I pulled VC, verified TDC and put the bar-left-of-Notch and crank pulley mark lined up proper. Guess I should double check with a regular dumbass timing light.

    You are a busy man! Great pix. Dirty job. Bearings all same/same? One could be tempted to drill and tap the hub for a grease zerk and expulsion hole for future grease changes.

    I just pulled my 40s and installed 45s as I am track only now. Will make a smokin deal on my 40s for someone with DCOE experience.

    Is that Briann510s old car?

    Resurrecting this old thread: From the NA ZX Dizzy without Module there is a Red / Green Pigtail. The input to the MSD is a Green / Violet pigtail. Tossed a coin and wired: Dizzy Red-to-MSD Green DIzzy Green-to- MSD Violet. Hit the button and fired right up. TIming way off but tach worked fine. I've read some places that it doesn't matter which wire goes to which wire, and other posts say the polarity can mess stuff up. Everyone seems to agree that the Dizzy R/G go to the MSD G/V but not many posts make it clear in which order.

    My track car cooled good this last event in Phoenix with new AzZCar radiator and front all ducted in to direct airflow. Normal driving it is parked on the T-stat. After 20 minutes of FULL flogging temp was 205 or so. Traffic made it worse for sure. In the middle of the night I thought it might be neat to hook up a coolant pressure gauge (from a spare oil pressure setup). In event of a hose failure the pressure drop would be instant (along with the water on face) Would the pressure also flail with head gasket and other issues?

    A long track day this past Saturday. 3rd and 4th gear with the modified synchro timing were flawless at all RPM and all amounts of force. 2nd gear crunches if the lever is pushed too hard and not patiently waiting for the speed to equalize you can push past the synchro and crunch, where no amount of reasonable force could do the same in 3rd and 4th despite some serious abuse and RPM. Will fix 1&2 this summer.

    Cut em high boys! higher than you think, and then cut them some more! I cut and rubbed, then measured without springs and re-cut and I am still going in to make a 3rd higher cut on the back left after rubbing a little on a track day.

    Innovator! Will keep this in mind. Seems like you are Z-wrenching a lot lately. Fun stuff. Th

    Mental notes: Front brake: 1984 z31 rotor and S12w caliper Slight mod use 1984 pads Rear brake Early Zx caliper 79-81? Options for race pads? Can't recall which rotor I used. Next jump up for rear?

    I have to give a plug to Pierce Manifolds. Over the last few days I ordered a bunch of things from them and needed them all overnighted. Very helpful over the phone, pricing was fair... it is what it needs to be. Everything shipped and arrived as planned with zero errors. Its the little things that count.

    We are all hear to learn and enjoy the process of the mighty DCOE carb. They are quite the little teachers... aren't they? I can't tell you how many times I've been told: "Just go EFI with ITBs... its EASY!!!... At least the DCOE carbs talk with me, share a drink, and can hold a conversation over time (I don't condone their smoking however). Read the Megasquirt forums if you want to make yourself feel better: X-tau, impedence, boards, Can you tell I just discovered the emoticon archive?

    Hi Z-Ya. Where did you end up with your research? Can you summarize some of your final lessons on this? Tj

    Perhaps we should think of the work of an Emulsion Tube more along the lines of a chef or expert baker mixing fat, egg and air to make a terrific pastry. The skill and mastery of the chef is far more critical than the individual ratios. A great chef can make an amazing cake from a wide variety of proportions. And so a superior emulsion tube for a particular engine could have generally better performance than another (which may be superior on some other intake system). Or... Why one smart switch works better in one network than another, even though it is mixing the same stream of data. Nobody really knows. I'm staying F11.
