Hey Denham... If you make it so the legs mount back on the bottom if the truck, you can keep the while thing off the ground except the wheels, so def no snakes then... And you can just move it a bit if you want to reposition during the day. That's what the big off road teardops do, all awnings and things clip backnonto the teardrop, not the ground.

Same deal. In the garage again now

You wanna look for real short bursts though or fuel pressure rising, so log it with your controller for sure. different FETs in different controllers is negligible. Injector dead time is often measured in mS or at least very high uS. FET switching time is measured in nS... quite a bit faster, and the difference between most FETs is sweet fuck all... plus a lot of them use VERY similar hardware inside them anyway. I would make my own rig to test injectors. You just need to build a variable frequency drive with a decent FET on the end. Will be pretty easy to do on an arduino or something if you feel like fiddling around for a couple weekends. And that way you have complete flexibility as well, and can make it do whatever you want after that

Attention :: Ellerslie/Remuera Let's kick this off... I will be attempting to fit an new radiator, replace some rack ends, replace some injectors and potentially fit a clutch switch for my launch control to the Starlet. Haven't been in the shed for a while, but there is (likely expired) beer in the beer fridge, and I'm sure we can grab a pizza or something later today if anyone is keen to come hang out. Even having someone to pass me the 12 I left while I'm under the car would be ace No experience necessary Expected shed time: midday today Ellerslie/Remuera area Ned 021 413 423

Pretty easy, PM me and I'll see what I can sort out for you if you want.

Can I come have a look? I need somewhere to store one of the vehicles so I have room to work on the remaining ones. Coming to have a look is really just a formality, I'm 99% in, but feel I should come round and check it out before signing on the dotted line... Ned 021 413 423

Are you looking for someone to store stuff, or someone who wants to spin spanners in it?

the heading even says boring stuff, why would you read that!? The internet produces new cat videos every hour that you can watch rather than reading the boring section of an oldschool post... come on man!

i dont know what that means... but i didnt bring any friends so i'm safe i guess. Will be there hopefully the turnout will be better than last month. I guess they were all put off by fancy walking? (i might be making a giant ass of myself as i have no idea what im saying)

Sounds normal to me...

Ooh, that looks pretty!

Where were all you guys?!

I have some extractors but they run through a shit exhaust, so that and cooling is on the cards, and wanna so something else so decided a cam would be a good idea

You're not supposed to read the small print!

Nah, can't be done. Have to use antiquated push rod non cross flow engine sorry

Its running a microsquirt, so can log whatever you like really What should i be logging to figure out whats going on? oh, and Richy, dont think that hasnt crossed my mind at least 7 times (a day)

I can currently happily take it to 5500. Rev limit set to just shy of 6000 it think and seems happy to be there as well, just no point as it makes so little power there. And yes, they do us the same rods as a 7A. Just in case it wasnt clear, i'm not looking to build an 8000rpm screamer, but it would be nice to make power until 5500, maybe even 6000 Basically, i just want a cheap simple way of adding a little power for not too much money before summer/Drag Day in a couple months

Cheers roman! I wanna stay with the current single throttle, but thanks for the offer It's an 1800 cc 4cyl Bore of 80.5 mm and stroke of 87.5 mm (essentially making it a stroked 5K with a slightly wider and taller block) I have no idea about compression ratio sorry, or valve lift but i'll see what i can find. Peak torque was around the mid to high 2000's i believe? about 2600 or 2800 from memory? was a pretty nice flat curve though if i recall and peak HP at 4400

so.... i want more power. Last time i had a 7K on the dyno, she didnt make any power over 5000rpm, and peaked at 4400 or something. (a mighty 45kw). Up until the 4400, the curve looked good, and i kinda want to extend that curve a bit by 1000rpm or so and make some more power up there. 1) How do i go about figuring out what to get? i'm guessing i can't just call the cam guy and say "give me the thing i want!" and get the right thing. 2) Am i going to run into issues with the valve springs? Also pretty sure its hydraulic lifters, that going to be a problem? This is my first internal engine modification, so i basically know nothing. I've heard plenty of things, and can make myself sound knowledgeable and can speculate like the best of them, but kinda want some expert advice before i jump down the rabbit hole This is the "perfect outcome" in my head (excuse the high accuracy graphs) black is current, green is what i want Possible? or am i dreaming?

not a lot of #hype this month! keen for burgers and spinning shit yarns

Guessing you mean source of reasonably priced ones? I got one delivered from 14point7.com a few weeks ago for $200nz delivered. Nice little unit. Uses a few of his controllers and have all been good.

I've heard about this... Glad to see pictures as it really shows the scale of it all. You're one crazy crazy man! Keep it up!

paua are yuck! Go north island?

Yeah, thats actually much gooder

That could work, but you cant actually use the charge light, as the charge light itself is part of the alternator circuit, so you dont really wanna go feed a relay from that im guessing...?
