     The plan is to sell the Webbers  to fund a to  the EFI. I'm looking to get more information on a System first.. I am familiar with megasquairt,  I had very bad  experience with the that system.  I was one of the first guys to buy from DYI autotune.  My ECU had lot of firmware issues, lost and The injector drivers 3 times had to send the Box back for repair .  After about 6 months of deal with that I rip the whole thing out and bought SEE.  They sent my  ECU to me with  a base tune my car was a pleasure to drive after that I drove with the base Map for three years before ripping out the turbo set up and going to a LS1 swap. That was about  10 years ago.   If you are to go to DYI auto tune website you will see a diagram for a wire in up the the Realy  board. That illustration came from my friend Chris.  The guy at Dee why I ordered talk liked the illustration and acts for permission to display it on his Web pace it has been up there ever since.   I am sure my lack of skills what it come to Tuning, The firmware issues back than, And the Box heaven to be sent back 3 times for repair Had a lot to do with my experience with that system.

    MADKAW  If you still have my number please give me a call when you get a chance if not I can PM my number to you again

     I am sure things have improved megasquairt  But I don't want to relive those days.  I'm sure my lack of tuning skills had a big part to play in me  1st experience with that system.  Also not having anyone in my area with experience with megasquairt  .

      I believe the combination of my Box being one of the 1st he built for 280zx and  also my lack of tuning skills cost a lot of my issues way back in the day.  Although I'm sure by now things are much better with Mega squirt I really want to  with a plug and play  system . Don't want a repeat of those days of not knowing what I was doing no one close by that could help me having to go to the megasquairt  Forum .

    Madkaw  Do you still have my number if so can you please call when get a chance.  I can PM you my number again if you don't have it.

    I'm not gonna be keeping the carburetors I will be removeing them and installing the EFI.  And yes Fuel only going to  run my 280zx distributor.    My lack of Weber tuning skills  and no weber suport in my area are  the main reasons I want to replace the fuel system with bsomething simple that doesn't require a lot of tuning .

    Aftermarket Subaru STI stub axles

    in Drivetrain

    Posted · Edited by DAT240Z

    Hey Guys I have found the cause of the rattling sound on the car. It's coming from the driveshaft flang that bolts to the differential. Under hard acceleration the flange is hitting the Ebrake mechanism. I took the driveshaft out and the Ebrake mechanism, straighten the Ebrake bracket replace them and the driveshaft still hits the bracket. Any ideas. If all else fails I am contemplating moving to a brake system it doesn't work anyway. When I got the car it did not have the differential . I've never had an issue with the drive shaft and e-brake mechanism until I did the swap. Do you guys recommend get a new strap and try that I'm not sure how much power or Torque this new engine makes over the stock engine.

     

    I did install a new stock diff. Mount when I did the swap

    A little update on the car. I reinstalled the diff. Yesterday wiggle the clutch Fork around a little bit adjusted the clutch little the car now Drive and reverse under load.I was able to back out of the garage and drive down the street. The bad news is theres a noise coming from the rear it's hard to describe but it seems like there's something back there that's it slipping. It doesn't do it all the time but enough to prevent me from putting the car on the road when it happens it seems like some gear or something and spinning and the car will stall whatever is stripped would catch again and the car will then start to roll again. I remove both halfshafts and spun them they both spun smoothly as did the flange. I did not remove the flange I wanted to verify before removing the flange to check and see if I had a possible broken stub axles .Is possible to have a broken stub axle if the flang would still spin. I try to pull on the stub axles and the Flang the see if there was something lose as well,nothing.
