N12 Turbo Forums

Not likely M8 A nice conversion Ive seen is to fit a Nissan "L" series 1800 (datto 180B) steel crank to a 1600 pushrod Ford engine (Escort/Cortina/Capri). Minimal modification and a fraction of the cost of a Cosworth steel crank. Just so happens that the pin and main spacing is the same a...

Dude, process of eliminatinon:

You have stuffed around with your temp switch, since then it has been overheating due to fans not coming on!
It's not rocket science.

You know, Im even older fashioned............ I have a very simple method that works but takes longer. I remove the plugs and use a ratchet and a socket on the pulley and I do each tappet starting from left to right, one at a time, first on the zorst side and then on the inlet side. I just keep win...

hmm this is what i got told to do when setting #1 look at #4 and turn the crankshaft until the rockers/tappets are on the rock (when inlet is closing and exhaust is starting to open) then set clearance on #1 when setting #3 look at #2 and do the same thing when doing #4 look at #1 do same #2 look a...

ah well thanx for the advice all, i didnt see the turbo on the VG30DET in the back of the pulsar, it may have been taken off already, or it was hidden away down back. oh btw Damo, in your avatar pic, is that your ride? if so, what are the benefits of having an IC nearly as wide as your car? or is t...

No, it is off a VG30DET. The same that is sitting in the hatch of the Pulsar.

I'll try. Bear with me if this doesn't work.

the T3 is not physically larger than a GT28 trust me ive had them side by side :)the T3 is a dodgy old turbo wouldnt waste my time with it, and itd be definitly no good for an E15et :) they are laggy pieces of shit on bigger engines 280z is a L28e i think Oh well, the 'dodgy old turbo' pushes 150kw...

Oh Yeah, you want custom??? well....welll.....welll I got some fully sik custom ones that are made from recycled over head power transmission lines.... So there. Im sorry Renegad but the induced RF generated from solid core leads will mess with the head of the ECU.L8tr E PMSL. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lo...

I believe the procedure is to rotate engine to #1 @ TDC, you can then adjust #1&2 inlet and #1&3 exh, then turn eng 360 deg and you can then adjust #3&4 inlet and #2&4 exh. And yeah 0.010-0.012" is about right. The "hot" gap is 28thou (inch) or .11mm. With #1 cylinder...

Anyone know?

cheers

I'm pretty sure nearly all can.

Autronic is a yes.

Stick a O2probe in the exhaust to know for sure wether the thing is leaning out.

I googled ignition timing v's altitude and it came up with this absolute gem of a site.

You have to navigate through a couple of topics to find it, but holy crap there are some amazing minds around.
