i have a new electric fan setup i wanted to run to work so that it would come on at 200 or so shut off at 180-5 like a factory car, and ive run into two options, the copper thermocouler probe setup or the painless wiring kit that uses the temp switch that threads into block or thermostat housing. now the kit in jegs for the theromcouple is 17.99 or so, and the painless is 60.00, which is a lot of money, so im looking at the copper thermocouple, im wondering what peoples expereinces have been with these systems and how they have setup either one, im wondering more about the copper probe that goes into the fins because i already can get my hands on one for a good price, but that painless stuff just looks so dang good!!!!! anyone with some experiences to share? thanx guys.

lean out the idle in the afm? is it factory new or is it a good used unit? i would say lean it out in the afm, how bad is your car failing? i dont think its the headgasket, you have good compression readings across the board.

are you serious, more miatas than z's???? you guys are super lucky, there are no miatas at the yards around here, we get a early 240sx and a random honda with rims sometimes, but never a miata. no mustang 5.0s either, and if we get them at all, everything good is gone the same day

l28et five speed, the best of both worlds, oem compatibility, and boost! i aveage 26 mpg

i would love to see a full out road racing v8z, theres not too many out there..

i know a guy who will weld it up, has all the notching equipment and of course a good welder. email me offline, the shop is south san francisco.

hondas are chick magnets. my buddy and I fixed up this guys prelude sh, lowered it, air intake, welded up a fart pipe, header, more rice rocket effects, and we went cruising to see if we did our homework. god chicks stare everywhere, i mean everybody stared at it, it was black on 18"s with the fart pipe and vtec, we went to lunch in it, it was the bomb i gotta say, we had his 2 15" system bumped to the maximum playing trance music and we were whats happening, we have a thirty minute video of that cruise on kaaza somewhere, we would be the two guys in coveralls cruising the prelude singing the whole time trying to get chicks....

man that car is nice, has all those great factory looking pieces, and huge rims, gonna be a blast nice job.

im not ready to get into with a 350z yet, they are pretty quick little buggers, a black one rolled up on me the other day, it would have been great -the black s30 vs. z33 stop light match, they do look good i must say.

you really should not have to swap afms like that, have you tried replaceing the ecu, or seeing if the harness is faulty?? outdated as it is, you should not have to replace the afm so much, or at all. one better thing i could see is maybe you could use the z31 314cc injectors, nismo also states a set of 555cc injectors as an upgrade, but i dont think it would work with the stock efi, but then why would it be listed in the nismo catalog when there is no ecu upgrade

the turbo clutch setup is the same as the 2+2, is the turbo 2+2 setup bigger than the coupe turbo? i have a flywheel for the 2+2 turbo laying around somewhere and wondering if it could be used with the na trans and that big clutch....

man that thing is tough, yeah plumbing and stuff could be neater, but still, that thing looks ready to rumble. ive heard that the sideflow head of the "normal" L motor is a 15% off the bat loss compared to a crossflow head, and were losing like 1000 rpm top end because of it as well, although we can gain some of it back with forced induction we are still losing that 15% right off the bat, man we here in the US never get the good stuff.

you could figure out a way to really shove that motor far back into the chassis and really low, you may have some heavy steering, but it cant be that much worse than the stock motor or a v8 swap, both of which arent bad at all. you could go all out and get a whole composite front end, i mean you are trying to go nuts right? six carbs, thats gotta be a nice sound at wot. good luck.

no, i live a couple hours a way at least, may visit, if i do ill shoot you a line a day before or something.

figured davis is pretty small, and theres not too much going on besides partying and partying its called below the surface, or should be, thats the name of his other store, and it will probably be the only HIP HOP clothing store in the town hes a cool guy SHANE NESBITH, go in there and just start bothering him about the pus factor- he will know i sent you.

could you figure out how much cc were dealing with here, i did the math on 314cc and at 85 percent duty they are good for about 264 crank hp, i would be interested in picking up a set though, they sound small enough to tune for an ok idling mixture.

you will need a standalone to run those injectors.

i say drop the whole driveline in if style is what youre going for, just pick one up cheap somehow and let er rip. the r200 rear will easily take 300-400, just watch out for halfshafts, driveshafts, and bushings.

the photos looked good from my point of view, nice and terrorsome. hey Rick, i didnt know they called it KSC where youre at, over here we're still KFC!

eh, i wont play unless i can a. blow it up and have the resource and knwo how to get it back running again b. tear it down and bring it back up c. AFFORD IT! may be nice, but for that price and NA power ill drop 70's camaro driveline in that thing and spray juice on it, five sbc's later im still ahead. thats a masterpiece.

you have a new afm, if you have checked everything else, i fear the barometric sensor in your ecu has failed............. if the l-jetronics have it, i know the turbos have one, also theres a temp sensor in the afm, you could check the resistance to that as well.....

im happy that for you that he supports his product and that means it should come out better next time good for you man, good for us all, now im really interested in how yours comes out, keep us posted.

you might luck out then, i believe mine are single fuses for low and high, 77-78 have mroe of the bugs worked out im sure.

i have the hugh mcinnes book, hes likes datsuns, theres a number of one off carbed and efi turbo setups in there, but i dont like hobbs switches.

i think you have to measure diagonally.
