JWT Adjustable

Not sure why but the sides of some of the photos were cut off, i promise it was not me. My parents are professional photographers and would kill me if i took something like that.

Well here goes, **disclaimer** All photos will be under text Feb '13 marked the end of my KA-T dreams. She began overheating and idling funny then mystery coolant on the ground. compression test revealed all 4 to be in specs however the over all gap from high to low across all 4 was 28psi, this is d...

I've been reading up and i want to use the Motoman Method but i have brand new JWT S1 Cams.

The breakin for the cams clashes with the Motoman method. Should i "combine" the 2 methods or just say F it and do the Motoman method?

Thanks,

Bil

Been a looooong time since updates. Don't worry, ill have some up in a couple of days.

I did but decided against them.

1. The car will be more than a track car(if ever)

2. I already spent the cash on the godspeed pos knock off and had the plenum taking up spaceand figured I'd better use some of that 350 bucks I spent o it.

My current build sits with stock upper runners, xcessive plenum, 11.5:1 comp, JWT S1 cams, JWT cam gears, hotshot header and full 3" exhaust from the header back. Should I use the Q45 TB or at a minimum 65mm? Increased plenum size, longer duration cams and higher comp with free flowing in and o...

Ok, so I'm finally home and gathering(buying) everything I need to complete the "getting her on the road" phase of the 240 project. The entire intake side of this project is giving me a headache. ITBs seem to be not a real option for a DD/street driven car. I have a stupid GodSpeed manifol...

Ive posted this before, changed my mind and now I am back to it. No swaps, no turbo just an unmolested 240 new plant, new paint and new susp. Rebuild motor, decided to go with the SOHC swap. Everything is currently at the machine shop. Had to go 40 over, gotta love a junk yard motor. Also getting th...

Hey all, I picked up a freshly rebuilt head from a s13 DE, had it cleaned and decked. I've been doing some reading and apparently the head i already have(96) and the head i just had work done to are not 100% the same. I HAD NO IDEA. Will there be fit issues using the older head on a newer block. I d...

I really dont want to swap anything. Ive got my eyes on a 66 Impala 4 door that i want to start in on when i get back from my deployment.

For the 240, I just want to get more than stock HP, lower it and get it repainted.

Is 256/256 considered mild for us

With the substantial increase in compression, do any of y'all think I should r/r with stiffer valve springs?

Oh and there is a good chance, if I can find them at a good price I may run ls1 coil packs.

As ive said before, I tried the turbo, had more trouble than it was worth.

Id rather just go N/A and be happy. My only concern is clearance with taller pistons not getting smacked by the valves.

New setup. sohc pistons crower 256/256 street cams cai or itb. Still undecided eBay 4-2-1 header -- own 3" from the header back-- own light pulleys dual e fans -- clutch ran removed 370 injectors--own e85 megasquirt to tune it. -- own I think that's all I have to list. this should give me a goo...

Now, do I go with the stock compression or go a little higher? Ive read recently that the KA doesnt build power like you would think using a higher compression.

There is a trade off in there though, Viper. Once complete she will be my DD so i cant go too crazy with the Cams.

I already had a turbo on her. I think Mechanical failure on the intake side of things is what may have caused my trouble. Either way, I think i just want a simple reliable setup reguardless of power(dont think I can get close to 180 whp) that I can drive daily. get her repainted and drop a little an...

I have a megasqurit already.

Given my other post and thinking I dont want to deal with the hassle of a turbo again. I have a theoretical NA build setup I'd like input on. Obviously my poor KA needs a rebuild so: Rebuilt block using RPM Machine rebuild kit using the 10.5:1 pistons 20 over(only change from the stock rebuild kit) ...

Honestly guys, im not sure if i even want to deal with a dang turbo anymore

I have a 6 month deployment to figure out what i want to do but im not sure which way to go...

No, it was a stock block. Pre turbo compression was 180 +/- 2 on all 4.... Only reason why i pressed with the turbo

Not sure exactly. Comp test was 178, 160, 155, 150. All in spec but the diff from high to low is double the tolerance. pulled the head and the gasket was fine. Thinking the rings or lands gave out. also, when I pull the intake manifold there was fuel around 3&4 on the gasket and it was spewing c...

Well, the current KA is toast. It was a 10 year dream that was accomplished but didn't pan out. My motor isn't usable anymore time to decide. Do I rebuild the KA and potentially have it blow again, do I swap a Sr or ls1 or do I do something different like a Chevy c6 vortex. when I get back, mid Octo...

Max vac is totally dependent on atmospheric conditions. I'm in Tucson and the gages we calibrate can't get below 24 on average. I've seen 26 on a good gage/day. 35 is insane and would suggest a new gage. Yours was most likely dropped before you picked it up.

That's a nice bluebird. I have one but its a 1993 fwd automatic. I'm trying to see if I can swap in a 5 speed stick and rebuild the ka24de and possibly turbo it. I like the setup u have for that car, and honestly it's the best U13 I've seen in my life. Not too many people drive these things anymore...

Why in the hell would you change the design from stock. if you used a stock upper cast, there would be no issues, at least on the stock fuel rail.

Next, rather than use a threaded coolant inlet, send the product with the fitting pre PRESSED not threaded...

The words i can give are DONT BUY THIS PIECE OF ****. $280 to my house and about 50 in required parts just to make it "fit" then 1 over heated engine due to ridiclous miss match of parts and hours of TRYING to make the stock rail fit and still have a leak on the #4 injector. Its not even i...
