if i replace my oem coil with the blaster SS, what about the igniter? re-use back? Unless you're using the 6AL, you'll need to still use the factory igniter if you're just swapping to a Blaster Coil. is there such thing as low dwell time to charge the msd? Are you asking if the MSD units can manage...

Soda blasting for me. It's how I clean carbs and what not.

DIY Soda Blasting

Hey Jonas can you confirm or deny the compatibility of Weber DCOE linkage on Mikuni carbs? I couldn't find any mention of other brands on Redline's site, but I've seen online the bar dual kit works universally. I've used the bar & linkage arms but the tie rod arms don't work on the Mikuni throt...

If it's what I think you're talking about; you know you could connect say a faucet valve that you would use for a gas line or an in line ball valve for plumbing, and by opening and closing it slightly actually adjust idle similar to how you would with an idle speed screw on carbs or a single throttl...

I believe this thread belongs in the Classifieds section.

I concur: SQ Engineering has very good quality components for 4AGs such as the coil mounting plate for the 20v.

A little bit of heat helps with it along with a line drawn up with a sharpie.

Ahhhh, Andrew's (assassin10000) celi-supra rear end thread has returned.

Lovely 1UZFE choice. The raw look of our T(rueno) Hatch has that "natural" appeal.

Pick up a set of Dorman 5/8" concave Freeze Plugs p/n: 550005 or 550-005 With a metal dowel and a small 4lb sledge, tap them in to the ports with them convex i.e. the concave part facing in towards the injector ports. The reason being is that even though they are already snug, as you tap them i...

took a few hours to work on the 86 yesterday, with the help of my friend Adam. here's what i was talking about with the welding wire just unrolling and pissing me off...

The 6AL should already have the instructions for installing it into Hondas & Imports in general. You will most likely need their tach adapter in order for your factory tach to read rpms again. It's all pretty straight forward. Again, just reference either the Honda or Import installation instruc...

^ Umm, that's really disappointing to hear about Hasselgren.

Shiny shiny! Makes you want to put them on a motor meant for a museum. $800 is a pretty decent price already.

Don't mess with the e-tubes and try out a set of 200 air correctors.

Sanded all 4 down by hand and fitting in about 15 minutes. It's not a big deal. Just wipe them off with a damp cloth between test fittings.

At highway speeds you should be around 3500-3700. Just barely into the mains but not really. Cruising around you're seeing very light load so you want to be more on the lean side rather than the rich side. I'd say 14s-15s and even 16s. 22R motors from the factory cruise on the lean side at 16s just ...

From his FAQ page regarding break-in: Q: If break- in happens so quickly, why do you recommend using petroleum break- in oil for 1500 miles ?? A: Because while about 80% of the ring sealing takes place in the first hour of running the engine, the last 20% of the process takes a longer time. Street r...

I use this motorcycle engine builder's method (I'm quoting him): Use the oil you intend to use ( EXCEPT NO SYNTHETIC FOR BREAK IN ). Then change the oil after the first 20 miles. "On the Street: Warm the engine up completely: Because of the wind resistance, you don't need to use higher gears li...

So I remember reading the ever-living **** out of the previous forum thread on using COP's, but only now am I able to do my silvertop swap. I remember a set of toyota coils will fit under the valley cover on the silvertop, does anyone remember which ones? I can't remember if it's 1NZ or 1ZZ COP's. ...

Just out of curiosity why bother with batch fire? It's not any more efficient than typical distributor. To reach optimal effinciency wouldn't sequential be best? Or at least waste spark. Since the 20v is sequential injection, batch firing works on the 20v with the factory ecu. You essentially have ...

Great looking GTi.

Any chance the mods/admins will apply the "auto-detected links"mod to open link whether or not they're wrapped in bbcode in a new window/tab?

The pleasure was all 86 Garage Magazine's Haru. Your interview was a joy to read! Thanks again for it.

Thanks for the growing support everyone.

Our supplies have run short for the 2012 issues (volume 1 essentially).

2013 (volume 2) will bring some new and hopefully good changes (not just change for change's sake.)

What is the setup for your rear brakes and where did you get the brake adaptor? An SR5 rear end sans drum brakes, circle track caliper brackets & bearing caps, Wilwood Dynalites & rotors from a Galant. No e-brake capabilities yet but that can be easily solved with a spot parking caliper fro...

So that's just a regular power steering with a nst spacer? You just hooked it on? So honestly switching up to manual rack isn't really necessary? It's said that a manual rack + spacer + power steering knuckles will net you more angle than a ps rack + spacer + ps knuckles. I run the manual rack+batt...
