yeah, porting heads without a flow bench isn't very good practice. even if you've been porting heads for millions of years, if you're not familiar with that particular head and have flow tested it, removed ****, and tested it again, you can actually make it flow worse very easily.

awesome, thank you very much. i did swap over the old dizzy from the other motor, but i have not verified that there is signal getting to it. i always thought that everything to do with the distributor was after the coil. then someone told me about the sensor on the distributor that was before the c...

here's the scenerio: i'm swapping in a lower mileage sohc and doing a 5spd swap at the same time. engine and 5spd parts are in, but i'm not getting any spark from the coil. i've swapped out the coil, and still nothing. i swapped out the ecu, still nothing. i don't know where to go from here. i'm not...

awesome thread! i would suggest making the topic lines of the different sections bold so its easier to find what you're looking for at a glance. lots of great info!

yessiree...this will be the protoypte kit that is going to be tested on my car...he will be doing the testing and tuning with it.

awesome! glad to see more people making parts for the sohc!

looks awesome man! so do they have plans of producing more manifolds and selling them?

holy crap, that sucks... it seems that Formula D hasn't been picking the best spots to hold their events... (I didn't go) buy all my friends went to the one here in Chicago and the track was small!! a lot of the drivers hit the wall, even Alex Pfiffer wrecked that s2k! the chicago track was INSANEL...

Splittlng hairs here, 9:1 is hardly high compression. Especially when the late '88-early '89 SOHC blocks came with that ratio. Which I believe is all the "Nismo" 9:1 pistons are. If you were running like a 10:1 or 10.5:1 with boost like a Honda it'd be a different situation. So to refresh...

apparently, they're cut, splice and play.

ouch!

It would never be right again. Maybe to the naked eye, but if the frame got bent..its craptastic now

last i heard, he was toying with the idea of putting the RB into his s13.

That had to make him sick--it made me sick, and its not even mine

the guy that owned that car used to drift his dynan supercharged m3 until he blew the motor. he went out the next day and bought a brand new 350z!

His facial expressions are priceless... I've been in the same situation where I saw the car spin out infront of me, and there was nothing I could do but hold on and crash my newly installed and painted silvia front end right into the back of his freshly painted S14. You play with fire you're eventu...

holy hell, i didn't think those pics made it around much. that photographer has been one of my good friends since like junior high. he definately got some great shots of that! what makes that even worse...that is a privately owned r33. its owned by a guy we know in san antonio. so its not some japan...

You can hook put the flywheel and starter on, and jump 12V across it to turn it over. Make sure you have the motor chocked up good so it doesn't move though. No need to hook the entire harness up. sweet, thats what i was hoping. i may just set the motor down into the mounts for the test. i don't re...

my brothers car is about to undergo some massive changes, including an auto to manual swap. we got a donor sohc engine with 105k miles on it from a friend, but didn't get to do a compression test on it first. then, the other day, before we pulled my brothers 242k mile motor, we compression tested it...

i'll be an e-3 right out of basic, so it won't be too awfully long till i become an e-4.

i've known about that for a while now, but i can't get any of the files to open after i downloaded it. i open the zip file with winzip, and upgraded to the latest version of acrobat reader, but it still won't open any of the files. any ideas why?

hahahahahaha, awesome!

wow, if thats true, there must be a damn good reason! did he boink someone's sister or something?

yes, you NEED these things! after $2k, whats another $100 for a fuel pump? i think its well worth it, especially considering your motor is depending on it! retarding your timing is free.

yeah, i have the polish sitting in the trunk already.

You know, for some of the members who aren't so familiar with all the machining terms(Magnafluxing, boring&honing, decking, hot-tanking, ect), I think it would be a great idea to do a small explanation of each. Just an idea.... that would be freaking awesome! i've researched so i know what most...

Hey, Im brand new to the forum and I've been planning a ka-t build for just a couple weeks now. Im going to do it on a small budget (under $1000cdn.) So I'll have to use many scavenged and used parts. Im gonna go with new stuff for the engine saftey kinda stuff (fpr, fuel pump, gauges) but I'd like...

eh, 2mm isn't bad. is the wheel scraping the housing? if not, just slap it on and run it. or demand your money back. it'd be a pain in the ass, and you may never see your money, but you could at least file a suit against him for wire fraud.

looks great!
