[How to mount an EDIS wheel for $0.75]

My project goals are to eventually run a high compression turbo car. I would think that the control of the EDIS would be able to acheive this safer than running the turbo dizzy. Plus it is just cool. Maybe some sort of serpentine belt system could be made up instead of having the crank pulley running 3 belts.

[How to mount an EDIS wheel for $0.75]

What I want to know is, has anyone figured a way to mount the trigger wheel without deleting one of the pulleys. I'm fond of my power steering, and even more fond of my A/C in the dead of the Texas summer.

[Fuel hose]

I saw this on one of the Power Block car shows. I was interested in it as well. Besides the points you brought up, I think it would just be eaier to deal with than SS braided hose.

[Z31 MAF/ECU Swap for N/A non-turbo cars]

I'm going to be doing this on my '83 NA. I will eventurally be going turbo, but will post the ins and outs of doing it on a NA L28. I think when Nistune is finally released, we will see more advantages for this swap in NAs.

[Z31 ECU/MAF vs Megasquirt]

Check out the Nistune thread at Z31performance.com. Once it is finished, it will give you some more options, if you weren't going to get too far away from stock. Such as bigger injectors and adjusting fuel maps.

[Vintage Air]

Check one more for interested.

[Z31/300zx ECU/MAF to 280ZXT swap guide]

Has anyone done this on a NA application? If used on a non_turbo, does the ZXT dizzy have to be used, or can the NA 280 dizzy work. Everything in this and other threads I've seen has been for a turbo swap.

[drilling / tapping]

I was just looking for that as well. Thanks.

[Tail lights and dash lights dead.]

I'm on my third combonation switch. They keep burning up. But instead of finding the problem, I just replace the switch with a junk yard part. I'll get around to it eventually. Hopefully before my car bursts into flames.

[oh no, another EDIS question!]

The trouble I'm having is that I want to keep my PS and AC, which limits my options of putting the 36-1 wheel on the crank pulley I would think. So, from what I understand, my options are to try to find a way to attache the wheel to the front or rear of the crank pulley or the cam.

[Small idle problem.]

I've got a small annoying problem with my stock '82 turbo. When I let off the throttle, the engine will bog a little bit before coming back up to idle. It usually isnt a problem, but when driving at slow speeds, such as in parking lots, it can bog enough to kill the engine. The car idles fine otherwise. If anyone can point me in the right direction to start to troubleshoot this problem. I'm going to be changing out fuel lines, filters, ect... this weekend, and would like to see if I can get this taken care of.

 

Thanks in advance.

[Suggestions on timing tuning on 8.2:1 compression...]

Could the stock knock sensor be wired into MS to temporarily retart the timing?

[Electric Water Pump]

I think JeffP has an electric pump.

[Finished Individual Throttle Body Pics And Info!!!]

Awesome work man. I love seeing how your stuff comes out. Always looks like quality work.

[240zSX? Check out the pics!]

Wow. Not sure whey I like that so much, but I do.

[Bending stock hard lines?]

I'm wanting the fuel lines in my 280zx project to come up a little further back in the engine bay, closer to the firewall. I was wondering if I can bend the stock hard lines to turn up sooner safely, or will the older metal crack or break?

[Bolts/screws/etc]

I got the SS bolt kit from Courtesy. I believe its made by Restoration-Stainless. I decided to go that route because All the bolts come in little labeled pouches and I'm too lazy to sit there and measure every bolt hehe.

[Pertronix Dizzies?]

For those guys using the Pertonix Distributors with vacuum advance on your L6s. Which model or part number are you using?

[200,000 miles and still going]

Just broken in I say.

[Cleaning block]

Nope. Engine is out and completely disassembled.

[Cleaning block]

While my car sat for awhile. A brown gunk built up in the water passages. Should I try to flush this out, or take the block to the machine shop to have it dipped? And round abouts, how much should this cost?

[What color to choose?]

I've always been partial to silver myself. But in the last few years, the number of silver cars has gone up alot. I saw a chart somewhere that said silver was the best selling color in '04 by a very large margin.

[After market exuast question ?]

The exhaust is on the drivers side of my '83 NA as well.

[Cam selection.]

Thanks for the info guys.

[Cam selection.]

Hiya gang. I'm trying to figure out what cam to select for my build up. I'm going to run flatop pistons with a P90 and Dual SUs. I'm looking for a compression raio of 9 - 9.5:1 so I can run on 93 octane at most. This car will be used on the street, so I'm not looking for anything to extreme. So here is my question, which cam would you guys suggest given this info?

 

The MSA stage II.

Grind: 17033. Lift(In/Ex): .480/.480. Duration(In/Ex): 274/274.

 

Schneider

Grind: 17032 Lift(In/Ex): .460/.460. Duration(In/Ex):260/270.

 

I know that this is a pretty much personal opinion question, but if any of you have expierience with these cams and can fill me in, that would be great.

Thanks
