Beleive me I searched....I read somewhere? that someone? got the KA crank down by 5 lbs? Regardless as my memory fails me, has anyone lightened and knife edged(bull nosed) a KA crank? I have access to a machine shop.(My grandfathers, he passed away a while back and everything is sitting waited to be...

I have not started to build my ka yet. I have built many other engines, mostly for circle track and mostly chevy small blocks. The one thing is i can say is that when they pop, and they will pop. The worst feeling in the world is opening one up and seeing the part you should have replaced in the bot...

I kinda hate Miatas....but with a KA...This might be like a scary death ride....esp with turbo...

My suggestion is to take and straighten the old one best you can before removal. If it is bent then it as pulled other parts out of alignment also. If you straighten it then it should move the other parts back to some degree. I have no idea how bad your damage is but a picture would be nice. I imagi...

Not impossible, but a lot of work. Bolts, spot welds, getting it all to line up again.

My tie rods were bad and made the car shake like hell. It looks like everyone got you covered though. A lot to check when you have a vibration.

DAMN!!! Have you kept track of your time on this project? LOL! Awesome job!! How about some vids of her at the strip.

Near Staunton.

Welcome! I am in Virginia as well. Where you located?

Since the post is about slam'n it, Is there source for skid plates.

Dont just use any bolt....Im sure they are graded to a specific hardness.

You starved the engine of oil. No doubt the high G's of drifting pulled the oil away from the pick up. That really sucks!! Sounds like you lost the entire engine. Try one of these next time, http://accusump.com it works great on my old mans dirt latemodel, or modify an oil pan, something like this h...

Wide rim, narrow tire. Why? The object is to put as much rubber to the ground as you can. Im not really a big fan of staggered fittment either. You cannot rotate your tires and tires are not cheap these days. Find a tire size with a good price that will fit your needs, then pick some rims in the rig...

Looks good!! I love the stance and sick lip on the wheels.

Nice site, with nice goodies....

Try one of these. My Dad runs one on his Late Model Dirt car.

It all comes down to strength. SS valves would be stronger than stock, normally they thicker at the point where the stem meets the valve end, as well as being flat on the side facing the chamber. No dish=more compression, thicker more strength. Personally I"m considering titanium in an effort t...

They make a tool, if thats what you can call it. Its like a little bicycle tire pump, with a hose and adapters to fit where the radiator cap goes. Just pump it up, and see if it holds. My dad has one, I will get a manfacturer name off of it.

My dad uses Keith Black in his Late Model Dirt car. Very good company, They usually make some really lite weight products. I called them a few years ago and they said they could make anything I wanted. Wish I had a CNC machine. A nice harmonic balancer would be sweet, i.e. fluid damper or similar.

I must say thats a really nice job on the ports. I cant imagine the time you have in this. Since you have done the hard part for us, how about posting up some of the measurements of head thickness. Waiting for update too..

If the car is turning over slow, like with a low battery, once hot. Start with timing. Believe it or not?! New tune may require it.

Yes, but the headlights are above the bumper line.

Will it fit? Looks to me that it should, With the exception of the area beetween the headlights(grill inlet). I could do a little wack on that, as I have the insert for my kouki. Has anyone done this? Are the fender lengths the same length where the bumper attaches? The reason for doing this is I fo...

MSD6AL with Tach Adapter. Improved Idle, throttle response, and fuel mileage.

Useful thread!! Great Information!! Somewhere in the web is a cam simulator. Enter your numbers and it maps lift, overlap, etc. I will have to see if I can find it again and post a link.

10 gauge?? Speaker wire?? Got fire insurance??? I found this on the web, as I am an electrician, I have to say don't take short cuts when it comes to your electricial. http://www.offroaders.com/tech/12-volt-wire-gauge-amps.htm The FSM rates the starter at 50-75 Amps, but you also must inclued the ra...

When you get the red one up and running, Gotta post some video....

Replace the thermostat....or could be the temp sensor, reading wrong temp.

Where's the one with the rb26? Did you finish it?

Please, please, please, ban this ass!
