  1. Awww.... you make a few Allegros and Morris Marinas and you're tarred with the shit brush forever Hahahaha!
  2. Wonder what it'd look like with the tops of the doors/window frames done in black instead of white. The white/white makes the b-pillar look pretty large. Or even red....... just not white (visual weight n all) Photoshop if you post up a photo from the side? P.S: Love it and the plans.
  3. That sort of thing? A picture would be neat, you could pull yours out and probably machine off a good chunk of it and put the terminals out the side instead of the top.
  4. Good on you for asking This may seem normal to some, but id have a hard time asking for a hand if I were on fire. Getting help always seems harder than doing it yourself, that now includes buying things. Haha. Best of luck chappos!
  5. This is awesome. I am happy for you!
  6. Wire it to the "on/run" circuit through a relay. We shouldn't leave our vehicles off when "on/run" so that should sort it I guess if you left em on then did a nice rich start that'd shock em a bit.
  7. From a datsun 1200 website.... I thought they were non-crossflow, but I digress from digressing. Looks cool......... but that's a lot of compressed fuel/air mixture!!!!!!! I'd put in a blowUP valve in there. There is/was a chap in Waitoa, Waikato who had a flat track something maybe a Fiat, pretty sure it was a Fiat 4 cylinder. It was supercharged draw though that looked very built for purpose. His nickname was Nigger Crusher, though I'm not sure anyone actually called him that. They were different times the 90's. Wonder how much of a bastard a flame arrestor would be.... in conjunction with the blowUP valve. Happy tinkering.
  8. I'm sorry about the notifications. I may have LIKED ALL THE THINGS!!!!!!!!!!! I admire your bitumen underseal scraping supremacy.
  9. Suppose it's not too far OT. Specific heat is the amount of heat energy require to raise the temperature of a mass by 1C. I was just kind of trying to illustrate, in a round about way, that it's not the temperature so much as the amount of heat energy being created. If it was just down to temperature then everything would melt as soon as the sparkplug went off At cruise you're not creating large amounts of heat energy because you don't need to, as you are cruising. If you went WOT at the same AFR then you're creating a lot of heat energy @ a high temp (which means it transfers into the mass faster due to temp gradient) beyond the ability of the coolant system to transfer the heat away. So both power (see above graphs) and temperature is why AFRs get lower under increased load. A car may like 14.7 at cruise due to gearing/spark/head design/octane/induction/air density/million things more than a leaner burn. Probably not so much modern engines with their targeted afr design parameters and their precious metal mine in the exhaust I'm pretty sure you know all this and it was just my obscure way of putting things
  10. Both hands on the wheel please driver
  11. Think more specific heat instead of temperature Rookie. That probably hasn't helped. I found this was a nice summary when I first started looking at such things. http://www.endtuning.com/afr/ And http://boostsource.com/?p=148
  12. Black Jesus approves of this thread. (White Jesus probably does too)
  13. Must say, with a good set of brakes braking actually gets pretty fun. Though, it's pretty fun with rubbish ones too! haha. J-hook because clever but no real need unless wanting to win races.
  14. I understand But did it clear up the T comment/ask I made? I reckon they'd be better than a hard 90 either direction so that's a positive In my 30's technology log manifold, the exhause downpipe exits the manifold behind the 4th exhaust port this type, exhaust exiting between 2,3. is much better No disputes here! Not the question I was asking/raising but a boat without gravy isnt'....... wait where was I going with that?
  15. Back = end? I don't mean the T as in the shape of the entire manifold, the the parts it's made from I didn't add a 3rd iteration where the "T"s are more like bends because he ain't making this again! But maybe the center part After giving me a beating.
  16. The T section, looks like it's more of a Y crossed with a T. (superimpose Y over T) I just mean it doesn't look directional as many log manifolds do I need a drawing! The red is what I think might happen a bit (at the same time as the green) And the 2nd horrible drawing is with a couple of 90's turning down to the collector. BEHOLD the power of MSPAINT!!!! But for those power levels I guess it won't matter much, thought I saw those larger figures in your build thread and thought it may be a problem And if you end up with spare time/monies later it's all gravy. I love this build. **Disclaimer Any comments I make are not to be taken as critical or confrontational towards any certain individuals, and are simply to be considered as my personal opinion only**
  17. Man it really looks like the gas can go where it likes in that exhaust manifold! And a few hard bends and pulses hitting one another. Was there a reason you couldn't make a collector style one? (go up then down. space?) It'd be helpful for you EGT's What's the dilly'o with those "t"s flaring both directions? And because this is 2016: **Disclaimer Any comments I make are not to be taken as critical or confrontational towards any certain individuals, and are simply to be considered as my personal opinion only**
  18. And if you can't get to Chris's then I've got one you can use.
  19. How did you sex up the wood? Mine is looking rubbish and I'd like to keep it, but I might just veneer it with something sexy.
  20. Where in the country is she? I cannot believe she's not been in for a roof wrap!
  21. Was there. Was fun. Would eat there again 5/5
  22. If it were mine. I'd open the controller, see where the traces go and scratch em. (like cutting wires) Then bridge em back again once I had the cert... if I were that way inclined.
  23. In car fb was being sarcastic. Actual cool story bro!
