^ I think if it didnt have a tach factory, he'll be lucky if the alternator just has one sitting there
-
na probably no ecu champ I'm guessing its an older hiace there mechanical injection stz. Most places will charge abit to set a tach up on a diesel like this. Is the tach so you can avoid paying diesel miles?
-
if it doesn't have a ecu or had a factory tacho, I'd say your not going to get it going without looking into things a bit more boe
-
mike-e stuck a tach on his hilux, hit him up?
its petrol dipshit
-
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?
-
I vote matty B, haha I'm forced to go matty B for nats because of time, how many others are there going to be?

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
-
from what ive seen theres alot less science involved than people think, it only gets really scientific when you start doing stuff that messes with the compression rather than flow.
thats a random statement theres more science going on to describe the flow than you could shake a stick at.
-
^ kihikihi bro
-
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
-
F1 cars is an irrelevant example, unless you're planning on idling at 6krpm and pulling 18,000rpm as well.
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
-
theres in car vids of 180 skids at puke
-
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
-
Is it cast or alloy head?
We're talking japanese engines here cast heads made me rofl
-
Mean story! I'd believe it aswell. It wouldn't be the biggest fuck up Americans have done in relation to cars I'm sure.
DeLorean was made by the Irish wasn't it
-
^ 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
-
for sure just gotta hit 88 miles an hour
-
^ also NZ's crap power supply I mean they threaten black outs some times what about when where all plugging in our rides for juice.
-
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
tga meet up and cruise??
in Upper North Island Region

wont be till after nats I'd say all my weekends have car stuff booked in
