  1. I'm using that fuel line on my injectors. I hope mine don't peel off. 11.5:1 AFR is was most say is best under boost.
  2. I'd like to see pictures also. I would vote for sticky if there were detailed pictures.
  3. My car has 140,000 miles on the original cam lobes and rockers. It's only had Castrol GTX put in since 1994 and is still fine. I agree with you about the zinc. I think they have better wear additives than zinc today.
  4. To use the CAS you just need to solder in a jumper resister. You can do that at any time. Are you using ms1 or ms2 and which board? I think it would be best to download the latest firmware.
  5. I showed this to a former coworker (mechanic). He spent several hours trying to figure out the problem. Pump was running, vacuum was low but there was no fuel pressure. I finally went over to see what was taking so long. He showed me that everything checked out and I heard a gurgling sound from inside the tank....the truck was out of fuel.
  6. Here is the common diagnosis that I use on diesel engines. It will work your gas engine also. Install a vacuum gauge inline before the fuel pump. Vac should be 1-4" with the pump running. Too high vac means a restriction. If the vac is very low pinch off the hose before the gauge and make sure the vacuum rises. This ensures the pump is pulling. You can also install a piece of clear acrylic hose before the pump to see if the pump is pulling in air bubbles.
  7. The Datsun T5 has a different bellhousing and input/output shafts. Grab one from a thirdgen camaro.
  8. The T5 tranny will work considering it came in 1983 turbo car. Take the driveshaft to a shop to get it modified and balanced. Read this about rear ends. http://forums.hybridz.org/topic/50499-differential-cv-lsd-hp-torque-r160-r180-r200-r230-diff-mount-faq/
  9. The pump could be junk. Where is it mounted? Is it as close to the tank as possible and as low as the bottom of the tank?
  10. Ok cool I got it that time. I think you're on the right track. It does appear to be leaning out at WOT. Can I also see your newest msq (tune) also in zip format?
  11. There is still a problem with your datalog files. They need to be in a compressed zip folder.
  12. Your last data log has no data. Can you upload your new newest msq and datalog?
  13. Yeah it's probably misfires. How do the spark plugs look now?
  14. I'm using ARP rod bolts also, they're great.
  15. I would use the Lc-1 readings even though I personally dislike them. Glad to hear it run.
  16. You don't have to rewire the distributor. Set up the dizzy and oil pump shaft just like a stock set up. MS doesn't know where tdc is so setting trigger angle to 60 just means it's reading the next slot in the wheel. Also the turbo engine needs 24-30 degrees of timing at idle.
  17. The ITM pistons are a good stock piston. I've been running them in my turbo engine for a few years now. Yes, compression should be in the 10:1+ range. I like getting mine cc'd to make sure. Just about any bigger cam will require springs because of coil bind, even though they are plenty stiff.
  18. This reminds me of the 'fuel in my intercooler thread'. I think you should see if the injectors are leaking.
  19. The last time I pulled the head it was to replace the valve stem seals. I decided not to do the compression test since the engine runs so good with no blow-by. When I pulled the plugs I was really just looking for signs of detonation. I was concerned that my plugs were inconsistent.
  20. 6mm. I don't know threads per mm. i.e 1.0 or 1.25, 1.50..I mean space between threads
  21. I recently had a thread with this problem. http://forums.hybridz.org/topic/110673-ms-2-v-357-spark-table-inop/ You have to be careful where your trigger wizard is. Here is a copy and paste from Matt when I was having this problem "Found the issue. Turns out you were right in the "forbidden" area for > the Trigger Angle for MS2/Extra.

  22. When you used the trigger wizard did you set it to 'fixed timing'? Otherwise it's going to try to use the table and you'll have problems setting timing. I'm also using 440cc injectors and my required fuel is 7...ms.
