Without much experiance in stick welding you will find thin tubing very hard. By all means give it a go probably practace on some thicker flat material first though. Tube's a little harder than flat material to weld around. Mig is by far the easiest weather its the best is debatable but easiest it is.

EA may be the same 89 to 93 or 94 I think.

EB falcon rear disks and calipers are a good option the inside of the disk fits over the axle flange and the off-set of the disk and calipers is perfect. Mounting bracket for the calipers is simple to make similar to that orange diff. Falcon disks are 5x114 as well to which is handy if you don't wana re-stud cause that can be costly.

Pretty sure there just an emission's thing I left mine in and blocked them off etc and its fine.

Not much changed on the Gemini front just got this pic that I really like. Thinking about 2 toning the paint with gloss black on to with the same silver in the bottom. Also might make some new wider wheels 14x9-10" I'm pretty sure I'll get a 10" under there nah probably not .

I have a rancid old weber aplication book it says Matra Murena weird french made mid engined things 1.6-2.0 were the engine sizes for them.

I've had table curruption on my megasquirt before. Was differant sypdoms to what you have would start easy but not run at all I neva tried increasing the fuel though it may have helped. I had to flash the chip and reload the code to sort it might be differant with a link though.

Master that's the base required fuel is it? If increasing it helps id say its an injector or fuel pump/pressure issue. What impedance injectors are they if they are low has everything been setup to controll them properly? If not it can burn the injectors or their driver circuit out but that would usually get worse and worse not just bam and its stuffed.

Escort ones dont seem to have it from my experiance its some Cortina's that have it dont need it hooked up.

Anti stall pump when vacume drops it squirts gas in it connects to the other hose barb in the picture.

Mean all certed got the plate put on today go for the wof tomorrow. In other news my ecu is playing up again its actually been nothing but issues since I got it modded. I think something has burnt out it fuel cuts or just turns off not sure which one under high throttle at about 3000rpm.. I gave up on it yesterday and when I started it today it ran mean with almost no issues for about 10min then started again I'm guessing somethings getting to hot Meh least its certed guy was choice helped me heaps recomend him.

The tan/clearish ones are 370cc low impedance not sure on red ones been jecs and red guessing rb20det which are 270cc.

Bit of an update done a few bits running wasted spark now and put some GTR Skyline injectors in want to run abit more boost soon.

Can see the Mitsi coil packs I,ve used in this pic

Made up a stainless cap for the dizzy seen as it runs no leads now its a dizzy out of a 4ze1 Isuzu Mu/Bighorn they use a twin optical pickup rather than the stock Piazza's poo magnetic reluctor.

Finished widening my wheels look just how I wanted them to might make some 9"s I rekon I can get them under there

Do a visual test of the spark put a plug in one of the leads and crank it over see if the spark is normal or way to long. I had to replace a coil when setting up my ecu it was doing exacty what your describing because of how long the coil was discharging for.

Might be a fried coil does the ecu drive the coil or is it fuel only? if it does might have to look at dwell settings bad settings can make the coil discharge erratictly.

I just set my gemini engine up for wasted spark with a Megasquirt and it wouldn't start might fire/backfire out the zorst every so often but not even close to starting. I aslo put gtr injectors in at the same time I assumed they were had it so I changed them back but same shit. In the end it was fuel fouled plugs from all the cranking and not starting while I was getting all the spark settings right. Have you tried cleaning the plugs yet I only cleaned mine because I was lost it had spark at the right time and there was fuel in the cylinders but not starting!!. Started as soon as I cleaned the plugs.

Ok enough you aint gonna agree so just leave it!

Back to the original questions

Has anyone done an ignition only ECU? not personally but a mate did got 18hp atw more on the dyno then with the stock mechanical curve. This was done on a dyno which give's actuall figures not just yeah mate she goes way better.

Is it worthwhile? yes it is I built my own carbi turbo setup a couple of years ago I just locked the dizzy and I was never 100% happy with that. If you use a megasquirt you will have the option to go EFI which I think you will. I have ditched the carbi turbo setup for EFI not because it was hard to tune or unreliable I actually had no probs with mine was awesome just not as good as EFI and thats an educated opinion I have built and driven both setups in the same car.

I'm in the middle of sorting out wasted spark on my Gemini engine I'm running a ms1 with the extra code. Hardest part so far has been finding the best/easiest way to trigger it all. I found a dizzy that fits with a wheel that the ms1 can read so that was good no having to mess around mounting sensors on the crank etc.

Yeah Primera its not finnished bit like all the things I do lol.

I have started to get the hang of tuning still got to work on the cold starts. I havn't bothered yet because the fast idle valve thats built into the falcon throttle body is to big makes it idle at about 2500rpm. While I'm at the wiring n shit i'm gonna wire in the original 4zc1 valve. I got the basic driving real good good power, resonable economy and nice and smooth cept just off idle because the vac canister was poped eg. not working its a two way canister also retards under boost which wasn't working either!! which is dodgy. This was the main reason for changing the dizzy to a 4ze1 cas type dizzy.

Done a few small things lately got GTR Skyline Injectors and setting up wasted spark going to hide the coils behind the dash and make a nice ali or stainless cap for the dizzy. Cut the bumper out was a bit worried about how it would look but I'm happy. Also while I'm wiring up the wasted spark setup i'm going to completly re-wire the engine bay aswell as all the hoses fuel n vacume etc just want it to look neater. Looking at finally finnishing the borgwarner LSD conversion to am fully sick of one wheeling.

Id say that was it I sold it to the young Maori boy at work he said he went to Ahipara for new years. He's sold it now to someone that lives up there. It went pretty hard not much off my 4zc1-t I reckon had less lag anyway.

I've had the silver TG 10yrs next month I swapped my rolled mk2 sport for it had a worked pinto 5sp and the usuall suspension and brake upgrades. So even though it was crashed I got the Gemini with a wof and reg.

The red TE Gemini I had got sold it had a carby turbo setup in it went hard for what it was. Its matt black now with 17s on it up Kaitia.

I got the engine for $120 was absolutly flogged been run out of oil I think. All the bearing were fucked the turbo was seized and all the pistons were cracked. The full rebuild and conversion cost $1400 wth the ecu and intercooler included!! I'm mega stoked with how well it goes for what it cost me

The wheel looks good in person just not 100% sure its the colour I want some one should photshop it for me cause I cant

I didn't run one for a while but I got sick of sitting and waiting so I got one. I just got a second hand one because it wasn't for the bling that I wanted it just need it to do a job.
