Testament

it's a thing though. I had the wrong fuse pulled one time, thought i had pulled the fuel pump and I had pulled the coils when I was trying to diagnose what was eventually a borked ampseal connector - long story short it kept on turning stuff on and off and had a bunch of fuel in the motor. when i figured out i had the wrong fuse and swapped it hit key on and the 2.5" exhaust became a 63mm cannon luckily no other issues than a fright and a few rattled windows

very unlikely to make any kind of difference that is a problem. will be better than shitty cast manifold/too small pipes but will just be leaving something on the table so to speak is all. does depend a bit on the engine too as to how much of a difference things will make

New russian lada niva LSD unit with 10.0Kg preload whatever that actually means. I'm guessing it means pretty much locked solid though. New bearings etc. and german made 3.91:1 (43/11) gearset which should bring 100km/hr down to around 3300rpm instead of 3900rpm which shoudl work well with the larger supercharged engine being so much torquier than then old 1756cc had to remove the pinion bearing from the old pinion shaft to get the thrust washer/spacer did some cooking to get the bearings to pay nicely with the shaft and housing new ring gear mounted to LSD carried and bolts loctited in assembled in carrier and carried out contact patch and backlash checks - by some miracle pretty much bang on straight away (I pinched myself and checked it 3 more times as that kind of thing never ever happens) axles and old old diff out old and busted vs. new hotness BAM did find the swaybar didnt fit quite so perfect when I went to take the car off axles stands, because its lowered it clashes with the panhard rod so will have to space the bar down off the diff with some steel plates this afternoon/evening.

post photo of your setting pages from tunerstudio showing your spark table and general ignition settings, cranking advance etc. pete is using LS2 type coils

Well actually, is it a backfire on cranking or key on? If key on then what I said, if cranking check what downtrail said

Megasquirt fires the coils when you turn the ecu on as part of powering them up. So Leaky injector maybe, or just residual fuel from rich idle at shutdown.

Water temp put it in a pot of boiling water, 100deg c at 101.3kpa

I think they can be legal if you have an nzdra/nzhra authority card thing? so pretty much not legal

Neil at autocluctch in morningside is the man, a grumpy old barry maybe but his clutch will do the business

fuck yeah mean tyres

are you using the VGT turbo or did you find something else/another CT26?

Runs again, and no exhaust leaks apparent yet which is a relief as the headers pulled a bit during welding and getting the v bands on was a bit of a chore. had to give one some relief to clear the block for installation. Sounds a little different I think and maybe revs freer but that's rather subjective. won't really know until its loaded up on the road.

Also I think I found the source of the funny clunks at drag day when I went to change the driveshaft hanger bearing which was flogged and would have been half of the cause cant see that clearly in the pic but there are 3 big cracks halfway through the rubber doughnut and similar on the other side - plus there is a steel band that goes around the thing which I had added cable ties to and the band at the cable ties are all MIA. was new when I installed the supercharged engine, so im thinking these may end up being a consumable item...... so have a new one to install, and put a new hanger bearing on also spent some dingo dollars and got a kmac rear swaybar and fitted that (nice and easy actual bolt on/thats never happened before!) and a few euros/urals and got a lada niva LSD and 3.91:1 gears from our friend stig at ladaworld in denmark so will be install these in a spare diff head once I get the exhaust bolted up. such a twee little LSD

8 hours, oh ho ho ho ho ho try 18 at least.....more than half getting the alignment of and "tweaking" the secondaries to clear the crossmember and steering linkages which took many circuts of cut-tack-check-fuck-grind-cut-tack-check-fuck-grind etc. and yeah I follow the if you cant weld well weld lots school of welding, at least with my current welding machine haha

anythings possible. whether its worthwhile or not is another story.

Yeah roadkill also did it, they needed 20hp or so of petrol leaf blowers (no surprise really) to get any benefit on SBC powered Monza Basically its a waste of time.

but you could almost put a k24 in for that!

Don't fret over instantaneous numbers high or low when stabbing the throttle, tune AE by getting it so it runs best acceleration wise. At steady state cruise below 80kpa around 15:1 or leaner if it still runs OK

get out

something old or get out

I guess no other fords used that engine either? e.g its not the same as a falcon motor or something that you might be able to get a later electronic dizzy from? you need a 6 blade reluctor and associate hall effect sensor I guess. then to fit it in the space where the points currently go. either that or a whole electronic dizzy from something else with the same firing order and adapt the shaf and mounting to fit. or put a 36-1 wheel on the crank with a hall effect and a megajolt or megasquirt ecu to run multiple coils.
