Re: SuperDorifto's Overbuilt KA24DE - T Project
Sad news for anyone with an AEM EMS V2.... AEM is no longer stocking extra boards for the V2. We all new this day was coming, considering the V2 is almost 12 years old. I just got off the phone with their tech support and my only options are to upgrade to Infinity... They will still repair them...an...

Re: Coil on Plug Conversion Questions
The infinity just like the EMS 2/1 should be able to directly power any smart coil. That's a coil with a 5 volt trigger and internal exciters. Maxima and VW Audi are the ones I've seen work with the KA Valve cover with minimal modifications. You should get actual dwell/voltage offset curves for what...

Re: Adam's formerly supercharged... now soon-to-be-turbo'd,
Do not even entertain the notion of giving up... You will regret it, this build has been far too well thought out, and to Greaser's point at higher power levels this stuff happens.

Re: Adam's formerly supercharged... now soon-to-be-turbo'd,
You can also drill a couple smaller holes next to the jiggle valve to help - either method works.
Side question, for either Adam or Greaser....
what diameter hose did you run for your pcv/vacuum tank? I've already got fittings for 3/8 OD (.275" ID) push to connects, but that seems too small.

Not sure that it matters, but Im pretty sure the ecu is not capable of powering the coils. For mine, we had the 4 triggers pinned back to the specific pin on the ecu.

Re: Cute240sxGuy's KA24DET Build - 91/E85
Yes, time serts are necessary in the block. You can use 11mm without any mods to the head though. 12mm requires drilling out the holes in the head as well as drilling/tapping the block. There's an oil galley that has to be modified as well. If your machinist is good you can get away without having ...

Look like you may be able to just lap them?

I'll try to remember to take a pic of the stock ...
