Re: tailights dont work? and another lighting question

In your case probably the fuse. Or a short in your wiring. But my guess is your fuse. But from what I understand, in the headlight switch you should have power out of every wire except ground. And I don't.

Re: fairly pissed and looking for other options

Im running megans. Gotta admit I love the simplicity. Everything is easy access. I can even change front ride height without taking the wheel off. However ill probably change the rear a little bit. I would prefer the springs to be part of the strut assembly instead of separate like stock.

turbo psi question.

Anyone running around 13 psi? I was wondering what duration/lift you run exhaust side and when you hit boost. I was hoping to run 12 or 13 lbs but was concerned with whether the stock cam's are beefy enough to spool before higher rpm's.

It isn't the original engine. I have the head off because of blown head gasket and noticed the seven ribs. I suppose yhis block will be worth keeping after I do the swap.

Re: stock valve springs ok with HKS 256?

A 256 cam is actually rather mild. I'd clay it with your high comp pistons to make sure it doesn't contact. Valve float is not because of duration or lift. It happens because of engine rpm. If you're rapping it out to ten grand, the oem springs aren't stiff enough to close before the piston reaches ...

Re: Valve clearance just above specs

By .01 above specs is that .01 mm or inches too tight of clearance? If it's too tight it tends to wear the lobes too quickly and doesn't allow the required film (amount of molecules) of oil between the lobe and the bucket. If there's too much clearance than as the lobe comes around it slaps the buck...

Re: Distributorless Ignition Setups

So you're wanting waste spark instead of sequential? I'd call or email aem to get a pinout or wiring diagram to find out how many coil drivers it supports. And if you're using their ignition coil and drivers/ignitor It should be easier than having to wire in different edis modules and coils.

Re: Distributorless Ignition Setups

Does the aem ems you're running have inputs for individual coils? The cam sensor you'll have to find out which pinouts to wire it to. Same with the coils. Regardless of which ems you run you're options for cam sensors are pretty similar. Do you have a wiring diagram for the aem ems?
