well I'm no expert but my last diesel was a Toyota 2C and we had a magnetic pickup running off the injector pump it wasn't just a simple 'put the wire on the coil boe' job.

oh snap! theres no coil, diesel tachos have a few different ways of working I assume you didn't just buy a generic tacho?

Had a big weekend fixing this thing up got it pretty much all done, first I rebuilt some spare calipers. I grabbed 3 pairs from kihikihi wreckers and most were fucked had to mix and match seems no one ever does brake fluid on these cars . then took it to my mates work, prestige auto or what ever its called was mint to have all the gear etc to sort this thing. first we cut up and rebuilt the front of the bonnet as every spare Ive seen is fucked, (Crappy pics) then had to sort a rust hole in the door bent up the patch so it folded around the frame came up mint/ can hardly see it Next was the biggest worry the panhard rod mount to the body, it had been badly crushed by some clown hitting a curb at pace. pushed it out with the porta-power and my mate welded some meat back into it rolf at the adjustable panhard rod someone made up for it crap welds and bent to fuck. put a stock one in for the wof and ordering a ae86 whiteline bar hopefully

thats a random statement theres more science going on to describe the flow than you could shake a stick at.

better pic please. but looks like it wont be an issue unless your wof guys a cunt. my mark 2 has had animals jack it up from all sorts of cunt places leaving dents etc all good for wof stz

Theres heaps of other race car engines that run it and its on the top injectors well before 8000rpm. Ive seen an old v8 touring car with this set up and there limited to 7500rpm. anyway unless you've got a 4k clean up the castings polish/rough it up as you please and match the manifolds if you can be fucked

yea well most injectors dont exactly make the best mist. f1 injectors are up in the trumpets for maximum atomization. When your talking about the the time the fuel air mixtue "hangs around" with fluid dynamics in that tiny bit of time the fluids still acted on the surface. But anyways the mixtures going to end up sitting behind the valve on batch fire systems anyway. Im still unsure about rough vs polished but just seems to be what the go is lately. Maybe head guys are just getting to lazy to polish them

rough finish is the norm from head shops these days. also a fuel injection doesn't atomize the fuel that well

^rods take more of a pounding from revving than boosting

We're talking japanese engines here cast heads made me rofl

^ had a few drunk yarns to mates about how its dyno proven the longer rod gives a increase across the rev range. Most instances I've seen in magazines etc have been v8's with two valve heads as the longer rod sucks harder (gets more flow through the 2 valve head) and have a smaller bore centerline angle (less frictional losses) they make more power. But I've seen some articles on 4 valve heads that have increases with a shorter rod. As the rod acts on the crankshaft most torque is applied when its at right angles to the crankshaft, the short rod achieves this faster so from a torque perspective is the best choice. But so many other complex factors come into it and my head hurts

went to a mate for a WOF he let most things slide but my list = pulling to the right under brakes (calipers are rusty and seized got 2 pairs from wreckers today) front cross member has damage (under control got a spare one to cut up) left steering arm bent (have a spare) panhard rod mount bent up (going to have a go at it with the gas in the weekend) few other small things but no problems there So should be sweet for nats will get some pics up as updates with no pics = FTL

haha sweet update, thought you might have the engine appart I was keen to see its condition. But its a just a update of how much marmite its going to have

they so should have left the robots, and put in grimlock

Followed this on toyspeed (probably the only car I check that site for these days) looks mint gotta love the ease at which this projects gone forward its mint. Always wanted to beams something old and rwd ever since I saw one in a tezza engine bay

haha just cleaning up no wonder sam was smashed has all that cc's for half a bottle of ginger ale, had the mad mixes going on

I felt mint today, place isnt even that messy compared to usual, thoses pics are awesome, roll on nats!

haha no themes boe, dont worry about glow sticks just crank some beer and get mark

^ you cunts betta show up go get some beer viking or something conquer that shit

yea hopefully its not a spew on the chair head start

bailed from work early for a brew. Its yum. ^ im not going to be txting later once half cut, so txt me or someone else can txt you my mates will be here around 5 so fun begins then

come get otp

^ boe bring a blanket got a fold out couch, and an air bed but I cant find the pump

haha my hardtop pwns this thing,

^ yep its irs, and isn't as mint as it looks in the photos
