Innovate are meant to do very reliable ones also and are around $350 for a full kit. I've been looking at getting one for myself and this is the one I'm going to get. http://www.nzperformance.co.nz/innovate-motorsports-wideband-o2/mtx-l-wideband-air-/-fuel-ratio-gauge-kit.html

Alternatively there is a bloke on here doing a very similar conversion on an EJ so take a geeze at his thread and snaffle some ideas. He is using an LH Torana front end.

It will probably need to go through Technical Approval Committee. It isn't hard and they aren't unreasonable pricks as some people would have you believe. But it takes a bit of effort and you may need to ask CRS for some technical drawings or bring in a front end for them to look at. However the fact it has ADR compliance means it should piss in or it may just be a paperwork and tick the boxes exercise. I presume its bolt in?

Its all about getting the right bore size to pedal ratio. You can run non boosted brakes on anything. A lot of big heavy race cars have no booster because cam overlap minimizes the vacuum signal available.
-
If it is for Brake boosting, is a non boosted brake operation an option? Change the master cylinder bore size (smaller bore required) and adjust the clevis point in the pedal to allow more lineal push of the pushrod and you can delete the requirement for a vacuum servo. May also require more bracing around the master cylinder to counter the increased force imposed on the firewall.

Why do you need electric vacuum?

That would be rad thanks man. I'll probably go 140 once this bad boy pops its clogs. I'll have to convert that to 2-stroke too cos I hear they go harder.

Man I want to build it to be wild like this (Chaly)... LOL

Looking sweet . Love your work - it is inspiring and makes me wish I could fabricate something as impressive as this. PS - this top radiator hose looks to be under a fair whack of tension. Perhaps something to look at?- 114 replies

Have you checked all the fuses? Not just in the in-car fuse box but also under the bonnet fusebox? Not knowing what car it is - I am merely assuming it has two fuse boxes. LOL

Awesome - what does she weigh?

When do you pick up motor and when do you want to install it?

As Seedy said, it sounds like clutch adjustment. Google says this is the Rio clutch adjuster but I wouldn't put money on it - cos internet. Wind out the adjuster nut (B') 2 full turns and try again. If no better, wind out two more full turns etc. You need to have about 2-4mm of freeplay between the pivot and fork (A) Pro-tip - you may need to use something to stop the threaded portion of the cable from turning when you wind the adjuster nut out - something like a pair of pliers or loosely clamped vice grips.

So as I've always been keen to jump on any old bandwagon, I too have decided to get myself a little scoot for some summer cruising. Picked myself a bargain from Kicker and it was kindly dropped off to my lockup a month or so back by the lovely Joe and Jeremy. I was busy with other things up until now but found myself with a spare hour or two on Wednesday and ripped into getting it running which was extremely easy. Having not ridden a motorbike for several (read 20) years I went for a quick jaunt up and down the road reminding myself about clutchless 3 speeds and how smooth they are not to ride. That will come with time though. Plans are Change the handlebars to a bicycle type. Run a digital bike speedo. Mount a headlight nice and low on the forks. Tidy up the leg guard cracks with a few coloured cable ties and a JDM shopping list Build up a thicker seat for me bum. Tidy up the rust with a bit of a combination of rust killer, paint or part replacement. Some new rear shocks with a higher spring rating for my fat ass. Change the gear shifter into an up-down toe shifter rather than heel and toe cos my big feet seem to make it difficult. Also want to change the rear brakes to a left hand control. I'm used to it on pushbikes and also will satisfy my symmetrical OCD requirements. Not sure if parts are available to do all of these things or if I need to fabricate but will start scouring round the internet now - unless someone else has seen these parts and can put me in the right direction. Pic for thread... and another This is the kinda look I want to go for - but narrower bars. (I know its a Yamaha)

If you want to rip into it I can offer a hand.
