RUNAMUCK

I didn't even know you had this mighty beast in your stable 10-5. You really are a bit of a dark horse..........

^this! At NZDatsun we have a "hardluck" trophy for our biggest annual meet. 1st year it went to a guy who parked it's car on it's roof being a muppet, and last year to a guy who blew his head gasket.

Absolutley no idea. The blower I have here came off a VG33 in a nissan frontier pick up truck. (ebay special) I did a bit of googling on these motors a while ago. They reckon that the blowers are out of their efficency range once you turn up the wick on these engines. But given how much fewer cubes the pinto has, it should be able to pep things up quite comfortably without pushing the envelope too far. The only consideration will be what the stock engine can stand. Although with a realistic boost figure, and a conservative tune there shouldn't be too many reliability issues.

We haven't got that far yet. Some say that the eatons can't hack having fuel passing through them. Although I've seen a few set ups where they've been run with drawthrough carb set ups. I've got an m62 here that he could buy much much cheaper than that.

Thats where the VE figure come into play. We're figuring either an eaton m62, or an s/c14. If we know the VE we can get closer to a happier boost figure.

What motor CT? 8' sounds like about spec for your C20 van? If so, there is a second adjuster slot where a 6mm bolt fixes the dizzy itself to the baseplate which bolts to the block. You should be able to squeeze enough extra adjustment from this to get it fucking bang-on. Although, best bet is to tune your engine with the absolute max timing it can stand without pinking. I always tune my blown datto by boosting up a steep as fuck hill. I just keep creeping up ther advance till it starts to ping, then back it off a nat's cock. There are tons of variables as to how much spark a motor can stand, and the factory spec was just where it was "close enough for a country job".

After the Nats, i500GT would like to fit a supercharger to a pinto. In order to accurately calculate what blower drive ratio to run, we're going to need to know what the volumetric effeciency is. As it's going to be a low-buck set up to begin with, (how they always start out, but so seldom stay) it's going to be imperitive not to run too much boost. Surely some of you pinto fiends will know a ball park figure for this engine???

Make sure you pull apart the broken gearbox, and post pictures of the broken parts in the "offerings to the god of speed" thread. I'd like to know why it was making that hidoues noise.

WoW! After meeting you and hannah on monday, I thought it rude not to check out your build thread. I have to say the thread just doesn't do it justice. It's like a really sweet log cabin, but on the rear of an old truck. I wish I had the mad skills to build sweet stuff like this.

Do it!!!!!!! I heard of a guy who had a pinto in viva with an S/C14 with a holley 600 on it. reportedly it would try to go sideways in 3rd gear when the blower was driving. i500GT is all amped up to SC14 one of his collection of pintos after riding in my SC'd car.

Depending on what your compression ratio/dynamic compression ration is, you might get away just fine without lowering the compression. There is a chance that you'll be able to buy an off-the-shelf "head saver" shim. Water meth injection can aleviate detonation isssues. Cooling mist make really sweet high pressure pumps that can handle methanol, and are plenty adequate.

24 hours, 34 minutes aand we'll be meeting up to go!!!!

Joker? How much shit does she have? I may have a spare seat, but my car is little, and space is at a premium. Plus I'm gonna have muchos grog etc.

Can the feed be subway? Is there one in palmy?

Supercharging is the best fun. Life's too short to wait for a turbo to spool up!

I just pulled the entire dash out of my car tonight. The heater is in, just not hooked up yet. It's gonna be GOOD TIMES!

Def go a clevo. Clevo's have a better head design. Also getting the spark plugs out in a zeph engine bay would be a misson.

Go to someone like stocks, and buy a coilover kit for it. Nickm knows all a bout them. Also, keen your factory struts, and do an S13 brake upgrade. With minimal work and cost, you can have fucking meke brakes.http://www.nzdatsun.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=558 You might need to register to see the pics, (I can't remember if they're hosted on that site or elsewhere) But learn to use proper spelling and grammer first or don't bother.

Got room for a spare diff head on the back of your ute andy? Has anyone cemented Robs place for themselves yet?

Hey youuuuuu guuuuuys! Due to excessive binge drinking, I can't remember what time we're meeing at jew world Northwood. Was it 7:00am, or 7:30am? I thought it was 7:30, but leppa thought it was 7:00. Can any of you Carnts remember what time we agree'd on??????

This months meeting is being held at camp rangi woods near ashurst. bahahahaha!

Giz yo Ph number Yoddy my good man. And a cup of tea (and maybe a single malt) we shall be haiving at yours. I spoke to CUL8er only moments ago. he said he woulda bin down for it, but he has plans to be in the 09 during that weekend. (And is therefore not available.) I threw a few names at him, and I mentioned that mr RXosism had expressed intrerest. Of the peeps I suggested, he did say that Mr RX had struck him as being worthy on the accasions that he'd met him. If no cunt is down, then pass around the hat we shall. And bubbles reinbursed will be.

yeah the ferry cunts did txt me bout shit. So a yoddy pitstop is on the cards henceforth. Fuck I is gettting to be one amped mofo right here!

So you got my txt bout the ferry cunts being all like we've changed your sailing time and shit.

I believe the dirty leppa did PM him. Although I don't know if there is space in the vehicles for two more peeps. I'm bringing Ky home, so one more is the limit. Worst come worse we split that $110 8 ways, and be done with it. That or we abduct CUL8er, or some other SI GC. I've not actually met Yoddy yet, but he's an active forum user, and was the 1st name to pop into my head when I heard that rob wasn't coming. It might be horribly unfair for Hannah to miss out Though given that she seems to do all the work on yoddys projects. (at least in the pics I've seen of his builds )
