These are 10A, there's others. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002338207839.html

Stand by charging (float) for e.g. house battery, with a top up setting for occasional Boost / equalise to help prevent sulphation. This is a cheap crude approximation that's likely better than most single Voltage only chargers. There's actually quite a lot of detail in charging batteries, including Different V, A for different types the correct voltage changes with temperature. Boost equalise time can depend on how discharged it was before charging etc YMMV The placement of the ammeter is an illustration which measures battery current only, so if the battery is charged, most of the current goes straight to the load (meter reads low current).

Have someone lined up, thanks @ajg193 for the reccomendation.

Oh, and 2T nangs, because company policy.

Hi all, I'm a bit overloaded to get stuff out for end of month: I have some light fab, electrical needs doing for a couple of days. I'm making a (mostly 12V) control sets, and need it copied 2x. It's just 'copy this', find tools and have a go setup for the mo. Prefer someone who can do the self employed (pay own tax to IRD, it's easy to set up), but flexible. You need to be safe with tools, and reasonably handy with stuff. $30/h ish? Unlimited coffee. PM / TXT 0-- --- ---- Wayne / h4nd

Ohhh, no no no no. My list contains better than new spec top-o-the line Nichicon or better caps. ... unless you're implying the new China heads are all that?

I made a spreadsheet of good quality replacement values

Anyway, I should really stop shitposting here and get the hell on with some work

'Sposed to be gapped to about 0.65mm, I squeeze em up to about 0.5mm, the spark hangs for longer (I think, I should actually measure that). because oil etc makes high resistance conductnance path, so the energy in the inductor (ign coil) dissipates quicker? Don't the supercharger / turbo lads run 'em closer, because more air, better insulator? Or just install Kill-o-zap systems like pics above? I put some clean(ish) ones in and nipped them up to about 0.6mm by eye, and it chortled off to the redline again.

That's odd I seem to have most of a set of caps here for refreshing a 1KZ ecu. Madness

I'll see how the 2 notches hotter plug goes 1st I seem to recall some detonation last time.

Oof, iforce went away, i'll have to dig up the earlier pics.

BP4ES, (now), was standard BP6ES. It's leaking coolant (I think) around the head gasket which is also pooched, and I think it's also running oil rich. so no real surprises there. Keep 'em spares in glovebox. One of these Satuday afternoons i'll shufty the good (rebuilt) motor back in there.

How's the serenity? Birds chirping, the quiet hum of Lyttleton traffic wandering by (cough) Anyway, fill'er up; oil water and change the plugs. Routine maintenance hmmmm.

Also, a shout out to @Carsnz123 and the team at Classic Workshop. The Dai broke the rubber band to the clutch, and I needed the car the next day. They got it turned around the same day for me, I picked it up in the morning, in time for the thing. Legends!

Downside is that it's better to run a small genny under load? Big ones coke up at long runs on low load? (I've heard, 2nd hand)

Some motors have 600-800% start current. It all depends a bit on various overload characteristics. A little VSD after the genny would probably help tune the load to the supply, reduce the startup current to ~250%

So of course, I'ma buy all dem 4GR, cos once folks see Roman wailing one down the strip, they're going to appreciate harder than Yoeddies thighs in a K11 pushing contest. STONKS!

Except no. Over summer for the last month or two, the old girl's been getting increasingly spluttery when hot. I know, in summer, right? I once looked under the bonnet, back on Dec 11: Ah yeah, that head gasket's not looking that flash. I really oughta hold a BBQ and invite a casual engine swap party soon. And then there were some good ideas about quick-n-dirty gasket repairs over in the tech spam thread (Roman's gift keeps on giving!) But, I'd forgotten the first and second rule of owning a 2T: So I threw those in the Barry-approved ND spark plug cleaner for 2 min, and fitted and test drove the toy and kiddo around the neighberhood. Sweet. Full thrash, back on tap. So I can ignore that for a little while longer. Right, what was next?

I have 2T head gasket troubles, no spare handy and I am lazy. You may have just provided an alternative option...

Interesting. How much current? Could loan / find you a DC/DC converter to keep its supply clean.

Water pump: I could make you a little clip on widget to look for V spikes at that part of the loom? (just a Zener running into a small R which is likely to blow with a generous voltage excursion)
