  1. Aren't turbo porsche 911 motors direct bolt ins?
  2. From reading on here, if you have that problem, try cleaning and drying the airflow meter box, it's switch contact type, "closed/open/WOT" IIRC, rather than later Potentimeter rheostat types. A wetting and resultant short can apparently cause it to read "closed" at all times even when the throttle is right open, which will cause a low RPM count. I guess if the ECU thinks the trottle is closed, it's not going to authorise a lot of gas out the injectors?
  3. why not just drop a new set of rings in, assuming no broken lands or groove? it's not hard to put on a new set of rings.
  4. I presume the KA24 head flowcharted there is a KA24DE? or is it a KA24E? the E head has 3 valves, 2 inlet and one exhaust, according to the pictures in the first link I posted. So even the SOHC KA24E head should flow better than a 2 Valve per cylinder L series head. http://www.ozdat.com/membersites/zac510/ka24head_1.jpg How much weight does the L-4 save over the L-6? 2 cylinders worth of cylinder wall, block, crank length, and other misc stuff should make a real difference. Weight saved is equal to power gained after all. An 186.5Kw L-4 turbo car would likely move better than an 186.5Kw L-6 turbo with an exact match dynograph curve due to the weight savings.
  5. Yah, I made a mistake tho, just did it from memory, they are using KA24E heads not DE, for some reason I can't edit my post to correct it... The KA-E head accepts an L series timing gear as a bolt on, the DE would need some work and a new longer chain.
  6. There's good marlin out of the Bay of Islands here, easily the equal of anything out of the Caribbean, I've never came up with the dough for a game fishing trip after sailfish yet, but I want to.
  7. Any time you're in the top half of the south island here, Feel free to stop by for a spot of fishing I'm right on the Buller river between the two Lakes, within 30 mins drive there's The Upper Buller, Lake Rotoiti, Lake Rotoroa, Hope River, Gowan river, and the Owen river, all with world class trout fishing As I said, it's Ironic that I don't trout fish, I'm a salt water boy before i was able to co-ordinate winding in a reel my dad had me on a wharf with a jig rod catching sprats... Terikihi is nice, so is Harpuka or Paroae, but most of my catch is Kahwahi, delicous when cold smoked and made into fishcakes. The big fish you had on the boat looks like a Mahemahe (Mahimahi), or Dolphinfish, but EMWHYR0HEN called it a Dodo? So many names in so many different parts of the world, all for the same fish type
  8. Nice fish. I've never caught a trout... never been trout fishing other than the one lesson as a 10 yr old, and the ironic thing is I live on a farm with 5 Km of prime trout river on one boundary, and a private trout pond that was dug, filled and stocked by a previous owner. There are 2 official Fish and Game negotiated access ways crossing our land to the river. Game laws here for trout is that if it's in a natural river or lake, fish and game set limits, in a privately owned artificial habitat created by the landowner, it's fair game with no limits or licences. So one of the previous owners who ran this as a game ranch with trophy deer in one part and a fishing lodge in another, built a pond so when the season closed on the river, they could carry on until it re-opened, on their own pond. I keep thinking about taking my SCUBA gear and a flounder spear and trying my luck in the pond
  9. This ain't /b/ no pedobears round this hood ;D
  10. you can also fit the KA head on an L20B block, OZDat site has an L20B fitted with a KA20DE head and a turbo for 186 KW at the wheels. http://www.ozdat.com/membersites/zac510/ Otherwise theres the KA24DE head on an L20B block with a Z24 crank + L16 rods and Z22 pistons for a twin cam stroker. http://www.performanceforums.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-67238829.html 2.3L
  11. I must have watched that movie 30 times or so... my landladies kids were ADDICTED to it... Sitting on the sofa reading a book or the paper and the door would crash open, the TV would start up and a little boy would land in my lap yelling "lets watch this!" while waving a DVD.
  12. Looks to me that a strap came loose and the hook or ratchet flailed about in the slipstream... Nasty. hope it fixes up well, I'm with the "get a new hatch" crowd.
  13. "I wanna MOVE IT, MOVE IT, I wanna MOVE IT MOVE IT.." yup, he drives a sports car
  14. Tell them to go soak their heads, they need to put your car back together in the same condition it was before their client hit you. If they don't, get noisy, letters to the insurance council or whatever overseas the industry, to the BBB, your congressman... even the media They can't pull any 40% fault being yours crap if you haven't admitted fault and he has, they need to make good on their clients actions.
  15. D22 Nissan/Datsun hardbody/Navara, I had a LWB 2wd one and hauled engines, also had the rear wellside deck FULL to the brim with builders mix gravel and it travelled without any problems, a little slow on the stop when you hit the brakes... But hauling a ton or so over it's rated load, thats to be expected. Or get the 710, the model before the D22. Even a little honda City will haul an engine or two if you pull the back seats out, or a Nissan S-Cargo, which is made for hauling stuff, through those have a rear door body, not a tray.
  16. Spechin Deutsch? try googling benz cams with google filters set to german domains only.... Surely there will be a german tuner crowd around over there?
  17. that second one looks like something the BOFH would agree with
  18. I think that's the sign of a bad seal in the MC, as you press slowly there's time for the fluid to ooze around and through the seal on the shaft. but when you stomp on it theres no time for it all to get out. as to bleeding, fluid getting out also would suggest air can get in through the same place, hence the need to bleed reguarly. If you have a parts car sitting around, swap the MCs over and see what happens?
  19. Lots of guys on here have been using dry ice... just use the terms "Dry" and "Ice" in the search box... lots and lots of info.
  20. Ok, as of page 11, theres a release caditate 3 version and some working codes to allow the cam agle sensor on a RB/SR/CA to work to tell the ECU when to fire. but it only works on MS2 v2.2 and V3 not MS1. looks good to me, I was looking at if I could get MS and not have to also get EDIS as well for a hypohetical build I am looking at. looks like after Xmas when my finances settle down after the flurry of present buying I'll be getting a MS2 kit
  21. Thanks, most of it is over my head, but what I can understand is looking good so far (pg 3, still reading) for using the RB/SR cam sensor as a trigger wheel.
  22. From what I read, mainly the rod bolts. Piston speed up and down the bore involves piston slap as the thrusts on the conrod go to and fro as the rod goes around the circular path of the crank, but that's a matter of accellerated wear, not explosive destruction. Explosive destruction comes from the jerk on the bolts as the piston and rods read the top of the stroke and keep trying to go up against the pull of the bolts, then when a bolt gives way, the thrashing big end causes all sorts of grief. Grumpy, BRAAP and others can probably put it better, but thats what I gather from researches into building motors, and why 9mm bolt L24 rods are favoured in L stroker builds, as being bigger and stronger bolts to stand a bit more abuse. Or ARP rod bolts over chev stock bolts.
  23. So... back to the original posters question, can the Cam angle sensor on an RB20 head be used as the trigger for the spark, and can the Nissan RB20DE coils packs be used? some here seem to say no some seem to say yes...
  24. I just meant that as a pun on vodka habits and your username then thought about Haiku
