Hi guys. Just picked myself up a vn commodore thats been converted to a v8 using a crashed calais. Am looking at loosing the factory injection manifold, have already got a redline hi winder manifold in the garage so am looking at going for a 4barrel throttle body system. How do I go about these efi throttle bodies, like what sort of size would I be looking for, would I get one with the injectors on the tb or be getting the manifold drilled for them . Also would the factory ecu be able to run this or would I need to get an aftermarket computer? Has anyone on here used one of these? Have found an edelbrock throttle body that flows 1000cfm which is the smallest they do and looks like they way to go. So I think ill just have to get my manifold drilled for injectors? Any advice is greatly appreciated. Cheers in advance. Kurt

Pretty sure theres 2 wires/terminals on the fusebox in the engine bay which get bridged. Been a while since last done one.

Might pay to get a wiring diagram of the car you pulled the pump etc from to help get It rigged up wwith the switch and shit.

Sweet. Umm yea there could be just the 1 pressure switch. Im not really familiar with earlier systems. Mainly work on cars that are new and they run 2 switches I dont think its so much of a low pressure switch the other one tho. Its the clutch cycling switch I think cant remember exactly what its called. Suppose it would just be to have the pump running on a duty cycle kinda thing? Would also depend on the kind of pump that it runs if your running a later model pump may need to rig something in. Hope this makes sense? I think im thinking to far into it.

The canister on the condenser is pretty much a filter so should get a new one of those. The wires coming out of it are a pressure switch. The system should use a high pressure and a low pressure switch which cut in and out the compressor using the clutch. I done a 2 day course on air con last year and have a few books which can help with diagnosing pretty much all the problems you can face with ac. And they also would probably help to get you set up. Whatever you need to know I should have it in these books. So ask and ill find as much info as you need to get it all working. Youll also need to make sure 1 of your lines has a tx valve in it which drops the pressure down before it enters the evaporator.

Yea sweet as man. I broke a bolt in there and attempted to repair myself but really needs to be filled and drilled. My numbers 0274705473. Im in stokes valley just flick me a text should be around home all day.

Ive got a factory egr manifold like you need that you can have it just needs one of the thermostat bolt holes rewelded and retapped. Or ive got a good nick one that ill sell once I pull my engine out

i no that on mazdas and fords it can be hard determining which coils are faulting but usualy you can try them 1 at a time as the coils are all the same part so no need to exchange just plug into the next cylinder and try again. most of the time you can watch whats hapening using obd2 and see which coil is faulting also.

also got a brand new pair of superlow dobis for the front if your interested

hey man. ive got a bench seat from an hz you can have if you can get it picked up. its not in the best nick but its all there. im in wellington. pm me if you want some picks. lovin the vk. have one myself, 308 etc also running widened steelies 15x9 and 15x10.

If the dizzys full to left maybe pull it out and turn a tooth to the right.

Yea chris at mossrax is the man to see. There behind mcds by the basin reserve.

Sweet yea might just get a small 1 and chuck it in. Extractors are a cunt 2 remove 4 repair and are all wrapped and shit so would have 2 remove all that as well.

Yea y pipe is just beyond trans. So a flexi after the y pipe? Yea it does have extractors. Its all prety solid atm.

Hey guys have just finished building my exhaust on my commodore. Is twin 2.5 into single 3 inch. Upon showing the guys at work 1 asks about flexis. I hadnt put much thought into them. What do you guys think about running them. Shud i put 1 in if so where abouts would i put it/them. Would i need 1 off each bank or just the 1 after the join? Cheers Kurt

Hey man im in the hutt and could have a look it is my mates old car so i know the history of the motor and all that. Just text me if u want 0274705473 Cheers kurt

Am i right in thinking that when i want to put starion struts into an ex lancer i use starion struts ex top hats Starion bottom arms ex drag link, idler arm, control arm starion steering arms and tie rods Please correct me if im wrong have searched and see so many different variations. Cheers Kurt

Hey guys will be looking at shortening some struts for an ex lancer. Is there anyone in wellington thatd be keen to do the chopping and welding for me to get some celica shocks in there. Am willing to pay for your workmanship. Cheers Kurt

Will be neg terminal

cabin filters behind the glovebox in atenzas. supposed 2 be done every 40 thou

i asked at work and the only way any parts can be found is if you have a part number to go by. if you can get a genuine number then i can try with that but they have no catalogues for anything older than sa22 rx7

Hey mate i work for mazda and could probably get a discount on bits if there still avaliable.

Had the same dilemma nolathane dont have ex in catalogue. Have to remove and match up. We ended up throwing some 2nd hand arms in.

Hey guys the old radiator in the ex is starting to look a bit worse for wear and am wanting to put a new one in it. Cant imagine there is going to be an aftermarket bolt in option avaliable was jus wondering if anyone had ever gone down this track and what radiator did they end up using. Cheers kurt

I had similar prob when fiting elec pump in place of mechanical. When it had mechanical, carb had return to tank and found with elec ran shit. Blocked return line and has been fine ever since. Could be worth a go if thats the case but if was originally elec pump then doubt this will help
