  1. This is inspiring me. We just picked up a 1980 Westifalia for cheap from a friend who did not have the time to mess with it. Its actually in really good shape but that air cooled 65hp motor HAS GOT TO GO. Biggest issue I see is trying to get a radiator in it without having to cut the front up and install a grill, runs coolant hoses etc.
  2. What the... who is this guy?

  6. Sorry folks, I have been busy with some personal issues and have not been able to devote much time to some of the remaining issues on the forums. Short version is that the problems you guys are seeing with google search results are because of the way the new forms urls, they are not the same as the ones that Google has indexed. I just submitted a new sitemap to google that should fix that shortly. Second problem is the with email part of the software, sometimes it is not sending out password resets to some users. Looks like they are getting rejected as spam on SOME servers. I am still looking into that. More importantly is that in about 3 weeks I will be moving the site to a new host. I will post up a notice before that happens. Suffice to say that I am pretty miffed about how our current provider handled our site problems that were clearly their fault for not keeping the OS security patches up to date and basically saying "oops, sorry, you need to rebuild your server. But if you need help we will only charge you $90 per hour"... whatever. BTW I am still shopping around for a good hosting company if anyone has a suggestion. Right now I am looking at these guys, http://hostek.com/ We need at least: Windows with IIS 7 preferred but I can do Linux. Dual core proc 4 GB memory 100 GB drive space 4 TB bandwidth Please post any new problems that you encounter in this thread only. Thanks, Dan
  7. Sorry guys, been a little busy dealing with this and have not had a chance to post anything. As John posted we had a security issue on the server and I have been going back and forth with our host about who is responsible for fixing it. After a lot of finger pointing they know I am right that this should have been their problem to fix because the software that was compromised was their control panel that they maintain security patches for but they basically refused and said I had to re provision (wipe-out/reload) the server and restore from backups. Anyways, we are back up for the most part except for a few hiccups. 1. The server is a little slow at times, still trying to hunt that down. 2. Google search results in incorrectly formed urls that give you a 404 error. Working on that, I know what the problem is but have not been able to fix it so I am going to open a ticket and have someone else look at it. If you like Tim are having a problem with the main page or any page for that matter it may be your browser cache, maybe dns cache but I doubt that. If you are on Windows try: 1. Open your browser to the page that is giving you the problem a do a "reload" not a "refresh" they are 2 different things. Most browsers you can do a ctrl+F5 to reload a page. 2. Open a command prompt and type "ipconfig /flushdns
  8. It's because paypal echecks have to clear before it will promote you. I got you covered.
  9. It's been a few years but as I recall one shaft is shorter than the other and it goes on the left (drivers side). I did not run into any other problems. I did end up ditching the bolts that require wire locking and replaced them with flange head bolts and used Nord-Lock washers. 2 years later and no problems.
  10. Actually, I know exactly what you are talking about. My very first car when I was 16 was a 1965 Corsa with the 140hp engine, bought it for $400. The 4 Rochester carbs on it were trashed from the previous owner over tighting them and I converted it to the single 4 bbl setup. Cold blooded is an understatement. Even living in the southern desert of California on a 120deg day, you could fire it up and wait 10 mins, then grab one of the intake tubes and it was cold and sweaty like a can of beer. I ended up doing what you mentioned above with copper mesh screen to help with the cold drive ability. It help some but in the end I ended up making a spacer between the carb and intake flange that routed hot engine oil to help. It made the biggest difference. Getting another Corvair has been on my radar for the last few years, I really want another 65-66 Corsa Convertible that I can convert to EFI.
  11. Thanks. I am still getting a few things sorted before I finish dressing up the wiring etc. I have no dyno numbers but my seat dyno says that I am not sure the car is really any "faster" but just pulls harder and runs better. One thing I and some of my friends noticed was that the exhaust sounds... meaner, not sure why but it does LOL. One of my other concerns about this setup was the size of the injectors in the Terminator TBI, they are 85lbs injectors. I did some research and the new injectors they use have very fine resolution (I guess that is what you call it) and I have had no problems tuning it down to a 500 RPM idle. I did use the manifold heater built into the Clifford intake. One of things that I think are helping with this setup is the throttle body uses what Holley calls an (annular discharge ring) to help with atomization. Holley EFI HP. http://www.holley.com/division/HolleyEFI.asp#96 I ended up buying the Terminator system as it included the throttle body, harness, all sensors a handheld programmer etc. It's really hard to beat what you get for the price. There seems to be some confusion on the interwebs that this system can only use the handheld programmer for tuning it, this is not true. It is an HP series ecu and you can plug in a laptop and tune it. The handheld programmer is pretty easy to use but I ended up just using a laptop so I could access all the features not available using the handheld. I velcroed it to my dash and use it display any sensor data I want to see, it works kinda nice for that. That is really cool. One of the things about the Terminator throttle body is that Holley does not offer 2 or 3 bar map sensors. They figure since it supports 600hp out of the box that using a blow through turbo or supercharger exceeds what a TBI can/should be used for on a V8 engine. I guess that is true, but for smaller engines such as an L6, getting to that 600hp is not very realistic. The map sensor is a GM LS style sensor that plugs into the TBI. You can use a standard GM external style sensor by unplugging it, and changing the sensor connector. I did not want to do that and wanted to keep it plug and play so after some research I found 2 and 3.3 bar sensor that work. GM MAP Sensors, true linear 0-5 volt scale Delphi 2 bar - 12615136 (Various GM cars/trucks) Delphi 3.3 bar - 12215049 (2004 SILVERADO 6.6L DIESEL) These sensors are slightly different than the stock Holley one but the connector is the same and so is the hole that the sensor pushes into. The nipple on the sensor was also off center slightly but it was real easy to make it fit. To make them work I had to: Cut the top retaining clip off the new sensor with a pair of dikes so it will clear the underside of the air cleaner mounting flange. When installing the sensor, rotate it slightly counter clock wise so the screw hole in the metal clip that is used to mount it to the throttle body will line up correctly. Bam done, easy. NO modifications at all are needed to the TB or its wiring etc.
  12. Finally got mine running. I had to ditch the turbo for now since I recently became un-employed and decided to just finish it with what I have. I have running it now for about a month now and I am really pleased so far. It runs excellent. Driveability is exceptional and no more falling on it's face after about 5000 rpms, it just keeps pulling all the way to redline. There was some concern about running such a large throttle body (1000cfm) on a single plane intake and how it would effect low speed / off idle. There is no problem, it is really responsive. For ignition I ended up just using my 77 280Z distributor. I locked out the mechanical and vacuum advance and wired it up to an 8 pin HEI module. Works perfect with the Holley setup. Once I get some income going again I will be turboing this sucker for sure

    Yes, you just have to change the map sensor and setup the table. I posted the info over at the Holley forums: http://forums.holley.com/showthread.php?8621-3-bar-MAP-Sensors
  15. Right now it's just a stock L28E that is in real good shape. I am going to run it while I work out the tune etc and then build a new turbo motor I have sitting in my garage. The turbo is just a cheap ebay one I have had for a few years that I use for mocking things up, still have not decided on the exact specs I plan to run. After researching for months and adding up prices and comparing features etc I decided to take the easy way out on the throttle body and engine management and went with a Holley Terminator setup. Holley's engine management systems are VERY capable systems and for what you get the price is really hard to beat . I am still on the fence about running an intercooler. My original idea was to keep this setup simple and clean and just discharge from the turbo directly to the throttle body. We are a bit lucky here in San Diego and have 3 or 4 E85 stations and 1 of them happens to be 4 blocks from my house... I guess you can see were I am going with this I have been wondering about heat issues and looks like you are confirming my concerns.
  16. Oz, what you are doing looks similar to what I have been mocking up.
  17. A feedback system has been added to our site to help with transactions within the Buy Sale Trade forums. 1. This is ONLY for feedback on transactions involving the classifieds forums. 2.
