UPDATE!!! 14.12.2006

I have recently lost my licence and the hachi is off the road for 6 months, so the transfiormation has started, I'm just doing a few little things at the moment like removing sound deadner, getting the motor ready to come out by pulling of un needed things like the a/c compressor and condenser etc. when I get some more cash in my pocket ill be buying a custom bellhousing for a w series box, and a microtech ecu to run my 20v, but anyway here are some pics of my progress for now, ill keep you all updated

sound deadner out of the boot so far.

UPDATE!!!!! 4.4.2007

well havent done anything more to the car itself since last updat accept sussing out my method of wiring the microtech and came to the conclusion that to make it a neater wiring job I will need a new loom so I purchased a 99% complete blacktop wiring loom for $150. I also drove to brisbane today to track down the rest of my rwd cooling kit from anthony kellam that waited 3 months for then only got half of it, so I had to drive 3 hours to brisbane to get the rest of the parts I didnt want to wait another 3 months for and also realised I didnt post a pic of my 4ag/w5x bellhousing so here's some pics hope you like

it's an autometer DPSS has 4 digit rev display with small but bright LED shiftlight, needed this as I couldnt be farked buying the secial plug for higher rev signal in my other one, I think this one displays up to 10 or 11k rpm so pretty happy with it, I swapped it for my other shiftlite (thanx timmay) here's a pic

UPDATE!!! 18th september 2007

hey all i have finished coilovers and they sort of went well, first of all i had trouble with the threads in the struts and gland nuts aswell but i managed to get them in there very ghetto, i will be building new strut tubes when i get some good shocks as well but theese will work for the time being, also they dont go low enough so i need some shorter springs, and last of all i cleaned my shed so i can now walk all the way arpund my car without haven to step over anything haha

people who know me know i dont tend to clean up until things get really bad or i get really bored haha

Cheers http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/smile.gif

[dr1ft-pig]

na wont be doing that.... maybe if im not happy with the power of the 20v after i throw the biggest cams i can in it and flow the head a bit more with a set of slightly bigger injectors then ill think bout that...but for now its just getten it running

but cheers anyway man if i need ur help ill throw ya a pm

cheers

cheers man... well once the engine is running i want to get some kind of adjustable gears trd shims for the valves and a set of cams with mass duration say 300+ i luv a tuff idle lol

but yeah depending on my wiring skills it should be running in a few weeks then i need to find a w58 as i already have the bellhousing and custom mount to suit

[ke70dave]

project is coming along very nicely!!

its interesting how less cluttered a 20V looks compared to a 16V (in engine bay), so much less "stuff" in there http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/tongue.gif

yet so much cooler http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/biggrin.gif

[dr1ft-pig]

thanks mate... i cant wait to get the quads on there and see how it looks... i need to get or make sum trumpets for them... then some extractors aswell
im going to get some made like the ones on some jap cars how they curl right up then go down i think they look hella good

[timmay]

ive been lucky to see this thing start to where it is now as brendan is my cousin for all that dont know.. its gonna be choice when its done and will be a perfect example of what a 20v hachi should look and go like ... good shit brendan get it done soon so we can have fully hectic battles lad hehehehehe.. http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/biggrin.gif

wow, bro thats a smick looking motor,
i am planning to do a 20v conversion.
but was wonder, its not a big process to convert to SC form 20v?
internalls, inlet, etc need changing? http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/blink.gif
...i've never tried an engine swap! but plan to.
i heard its easy starting with a 4AGZE?
are there any advantages to the 20v?

hey man thanks for the kind words...

as for supercharging the 20v i think the stock internals should handle a small amount of boost fairly reliably.. if you want a SC your better off going with a gze..... but this all depends on your driving style, well pretty much how your going to drive the car and what u want to do with it....this has been covered in many topics before so i wont go too far into what the pros and cons are of the 20v as oppose to the gze....pretty much they have pretty much the same power figure standard but all the torque curves n shit are different the 20v revvs alot harder and makes its power up high as a gze has power from down low but has fuk all up high....

lol my 2c

UPDATE 4.4.2007 PICS FIRST POST

looking good mate, saw the yellow ke as well, good job.

thanks man but i didnt do it, thats the work of ant at kaizen garage...ill get stuck into it this weekend and should have the water kit installed and then I'm prob just goin to spend the weekend working out wiring... and drilling out my new pintara rotors and maybe start on the custom brackets for the pintara calipers.... but whether i feel up to doing all that is another story....

i got my w58 with mount, bellhousing and tailshaft to suit very cheap lol bought it out of a friends race car i think it costs around 2g to do it when u dont have hookups prob a bit more when u buy a clutch n shit

[dr1ft-pig]

update bump more pics first post

[starni_boy]

nice! i can't wait until i start my 20v conversion, although it's a few months away still after suspension and paint, i still can't wait. engine looks so hot aswell!

so how much longer you think you got on the build? few months still?

[dr1ft-pig]

depending on cash i got about 1-2 months, i need to get it done before the september cruise

[DRFTPG]

finally got the box ey, took you long enough haha can't wait to go for a drive in her, we did clintons stereo today, sounds pretty good

[dr1ft-pig]

sweet as, yeah got it all here ill bolt it up to the motor tomorrow if im not too hungover lol and ill get some more pics

Looks good mate, also seems you've picked up a steel sandwich plate variant of the w58, stronger bearings apparently. :2thumbs:

[dr1ft-pig]

got her cheap too B) lol ,i hope it holds up to what im going to give it

[burado]

You'd better look after that box!!!
12 months in my race car and no problems.
I did sell it to you too cheap too. Oh well call it sponsorship..

[dr1ft-pig]

oh yes sponsorship, horaah...mmm sponsor me some coilovers jase hahaha

bah, mine are sitting on the floor in my room...

my cars considerably faster now that I've paid for them lmfao

[hilton]

lol^^

[dr1ft-pig]

coilovers make your car faster??? takumi told me that so it must be true, haha

[Felix]

I think dillon mac told me LMFAO... j/k

but serously my front ones are going in tomorrow

if your up this end brenden pop around, there will be full workshop in my street (we have 7 cars now) and my brothers panel beating his ute, should be good

[dr1ft-pig]

sweet as prob be up in the next few weeks



UPDATE BUMP GEARBOX MOUNTED AND CUSTOM CAS COVER NEARLY DONE

[DRFTPG]

looks schweet brendon, looks awesome with the interior all painted.

[r3zzz4]

You'll have to come round to Perry's this weekend Brendan and help us fiberglass the front bar back together after our rally efforts on friday night :lol: .
Get those footwells painted and your interior will look super schmick.
Don't we all get sponsorship from Jason??? maybe we need bigger stickers for REAL cheap stuff eh?

[dr1ft-pig]

your a silly boi dane'O lol yeah I'm going to wire up the starter motor and give it a turnover this weekend, might leave doing all the seals for a later date, I'm just going to do head gasket and shit (trd 0.5mm) so I can get this shit on the road, ill take my flywheel to get machined wednesday and bolt the clutch up and I gotta get a throwout bearing carrier and I can mount box and shit, I'm going to lay my wiring loom out tomozza and try get that shit sorted but yeah might give ya a hand on the weekend, I'm going to buy some paint and finish the floor and shit this week, and then all I need to do is get my tailshaft and brakes and all drivetrain will be bolted in, so hopefully I don't get scared by all the wires and get some motivation to do this loo and all will be good

[dr1ft-pig]

started on loom today so should have that completed on the weekend and most probably get box and motor mounted into the car

[DRFTPG]

all the hard work will be payed off soon brendon, can't wait to go a "cruisy trip around the block"

[dr1ft-pig]

yeah it's giving me a lot more self satisfaction learning how to do everything myself, I'm no mechanic and I've done everything from start and most probably to finish y myself, so anyone that sees this car when it's done I think will be pretty amazed at what an amature can do, I'm trying my very best to make this conversion as neat as possible, so it will be a not only very neat conversion but a very strong converion as it's got the w58 and t series, so should be very reliable aswell, ill be very proud when it's done as I've done every single thing myself

I'm rambling lol I'm drunk ill update this weekend, gearbox and loom should be in he car ill keep yas posted

[DRFTPG]

haha you alcho :P but yeah it's so stafiing when you build something youself and it turns out exactly how you imagined it.

[Javal]

[Driftspec]

Would love to see the engine gearbox combo from below, just out of interest.

[dr1ft-pig]

[deleta]

[Felix]

ur build it nearly as quick as robs lol

[hara_kiri]

still havin my babies loose cunt hahaha, its a big wait for babies come on, cya on cruise penis breath, im gonna be dori'n the sil and runnin a muck hardcore

battle ya on track in the 86 vs 86 in september, jus got a bit a grindin and weldin to do

[r3zzz4]

Il be in your room when you wake up Saturday sexy man...

No seriously lets do the wiring and shit while I glass my bar back together then maybe drink beer to celebrate.

Will be uber radalicious to have another ae86 in area again, that actually drives it :rolleyes: lol

[dr1ft-pig]

this shit wont be done for the cruise, wel theres a possibility, it wont have and exhaust (just extractors) no filters with stock trumpets.... on another note, maybe it wont haha should be done not far after that so pretty syked, got throttle cable hooked up, so farkin smooth

and rob..... N/A is better :lol:

[Felix]

i read in the bible that turbo's make u gay

are u gay rob?

[BouNCE-86]

Better see this thing on the cruise dude...

Get cracking :P

[dr1ft-pig]

if i had the cash to get it done id be able to get it done in time but its not gonna happen hey, i tried my best lol, it will be done soon enough

[86xxx]

Looks good man, just 1 thing i noticed may cause you some trouble if its not corrected, the shifter doesnt seem to be cenralised in the tunnel?? if it's off line it will more than likely cause some unnecessary vibrations and wearing of uni joints even. Just thought i'd point that out, sure you've already noticed it yourself hey?!

[dr1ft-pig]

yeah its weird, the box is centralised its on a lean though??? its all fucked up it seems to be straight though if not ill fuck with the mount some more
the mount was in a ae86 previously, and the box i have was the box that was in the car also, even the bellhousing, so i really dont know whats gone wrong, meh not hard to fuck with

cheers for the kind words man

[86xxx]

I'd say its either the bell housing is twisted in relation to the 20v or the engine is on a lean?

[dr1ft-pig]

yeah not sure hey, once wiring is done i think ill take it down to clemo55's workshop and get it on the hoist


but on another note, got wiring started, the loom is installed into the car n shit, and all the wires are just taped to where they have to go as im not really game enough to cut anything yet, im gonna get a mate to come and actuall connect everything up n shit i just wanted to make a start on it

[keiichi]

i havnt looked at this thread in ages.... cars looking great man. 20v ftw! when does power kick in and when does it level out? drove one once, and they pull hard, love those engines.
so you got a t-series eh (y) unless i missed something, is it still open? going for lsd or locker?

[dr1ft-pig]

yeah man got disk brake kouki t series, 4.1:1 locker, locker love, so farkin predictable, i really need some front suspension hey it will be the first thing on the list after it drives, choppies suck when u got gay shox

cheers for the kind words bro

[DRFTPG]

sucks it wont be ready for the cruise brendon, oh well you can take me for a drive some other time

[dr1ft-pig]

will be done for the next one i hope, if the date isnt set too soon, ill organise another cruise for like 2 months after this one, so we can get big numbers happening

[keiichi]

yeah man got disk brake kouki t series, 4.1:1 locker, locker love, so farkin predictable, i really need some front suspension hey it will be the first thing on the list after it drives, choppies suck when u got gay shox

cheers for the kind words bro[/b]

yeh locker is great... essentially a home made two way lsd with instant locking force.

[dr1ft-pig]

dam right, i laugh at people who spend thousands on brand new 2 ways n shit, i really don't see the point, and its got 4.1:1 gears too all i need is rotors and it will be a complete rear end

[dr1ft-pig]

got theese bad boys today thanks to mark at banzai, i will be cutting the sleeves off and putting them on my struts as 1 stub axle is bent


http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/4/8/4/3/120448.jpg


sigma arms coming soon!!!

[Clinton]

brendon you Mc-FUCKING-weapon

when i do get to see some vids of this in action huh huh huh huh huh!?!

"spirited mode"

[dr1ft-pig]

hopefully soon ahy its killing me not driving it, was sposed to be ready by september 23 cruise but its not looking good lol next cruise for sure, it needs a good spirited drive

[ae71]

what coilovers are they...??

[Felix]

homebrand

honest!

[dr1ft-pig]

custom jobbies from japan, crazy japs put fuckin alloy gland nuts in em and i cant get the fuckin shox out to see what they r, im drunk as fark and i like that shit haha, they will be brendan spec by the end of the weekend

[70XIN]

you need an air-powered rattle gun then :P

[dr1ft-pig]

the gland nut is the part that holds the shock in the strut tube, its round with a few holes in it

[ae71]

yeah i would be fairly doughtfull that you would find a socket long enough....

[Bustin_86]

Pipe wrench

[70XIN]

yeah i would be fairly doughtfull that you would find a socket long enough....[/b]

magic socket

?

okay i give up

and he's the one drinking not me?!?!

okay now i know what you're talking about. i was thinking of the gay nut that likes to spin spin spin on top of the shock

the gland nut i got off with a bunsen burner and vice grips? cant remember these days

[Bustin_86]

I just used a massive adjustable wrench... ie pipe wrench :P

Clamp strut tube, set jaws, push :)

Gland nut will get aalllll fucked up, but yeah, it will come off.

Be more gentle when you stick the new one on :P

[dr1ft-pig]

i ended up just cutting the strut in half, inside sleeve (leftover strut inside threaded sleeve) wont budge, so im goin the get them machined back out to the right size and then use my good straight struts, should turn out good, there wont be pics up sunday now :( but ahh well, itll be done soon enough

[Shogun]

pretty neat mann. keep up the good work =]

[dr1ft-pig]

thanks man, will do hey, coilovers should be in tomorrow if all goes well, more pics if all goes well too :D

[dr1ft-pig]

going to do coilovers in a few hours, pics up bout 7 tonight

[dr1ft-pig]

2000th post.... yeeewww postwhore much?

[dr1ft-pig]

all didnt go well, maybe tomorrow night, need a big press to get sleeves on as they are a tight fit

[slide86]

the coilovers i got from japan both had TRD yellow short stroke shocks in em......and the gland nuts were farkin hard to get undone. i had to go the pipe wrench with a tube on it to get em undone

[dr1ft-pig]

i molested the strut coz all i wanted was the skleeve, and after pulling the struts out of my car i have realised i have ra40 struts,brakes and steering arms which i always thought had more lock than my mates hachis,

vented brakes ftw

need a press to press sleeves onto strut and then i can put coilovers in, i cant get anywhere till after 5 :( and everything will be shut, dammit

[ae71]

oh deer...

cant get them on by heating the sleave??

[dr1ft-pig]

i dont have an oxy, pressing is good, i dont like heating stuff up lol, will all be in tomorrow arvo, i promise haha should be done by bout 5-6pm

[70XIN]

Re-arrange freezer. Place struts in freezer

Come back a few hours later, go for gold.

[dr1ft-pig]

no shit??? i dont have a freezer big enough only the gay spec one on top of my fridge, ill press em tomoz morning and should have em in tomoz arvo :)

[Bustin_86]

Cold = metal contracts
Hot = metal expands

Heat sleeve freeze strut bang bang

I know your getting them pressed on, but its still handy to know for next time :P

[ae71]

you can buy little heat torchs from places like bursons... not very expensive.. they are gas powered..

[dr1ft-pig]

yeah got em pressed on today, went to put the gland nut in and it grabbed thread then went in slightl;y cross threaded, c**t so i fucked the gland nuts doing that and still ahvent finished em its pissing me off so hard,ill get some new gland nuts, DOES ANYONE ON HERE HAVE ANY IN GOOD CONDITION??

[dr1ft-pig]

UPDATE!!! 18th september 2007

hey all i have finished coilovers and they sort of went well, first of all i had trouble with the threads in the struts and gland nuts aswell but i managed to get them in there very ghetto, i will be building new strut tubes when i get some good shocks as well but theese will work for the time being, also they dont go low enough so i need some shorter springs, and last of all i cleaned my shed so i can now walk all the way arpund my car without haven to step over anything haha

people who know me know i dont tend to clean up until things get really bad or i get really bored haha

anyways here are a few more pix, there will be another update tomorrow, interior paint will be done, cheers

[Benny]

Great build mate, just read it then lol. I'm lookin at going a 20v. Where did you get the block from?

[dr1ft-pig]

thanks mate, i actually got the whole motor and loom with my car when i bought it, i coulnt afford a 20v ae86 they were going for about 12-15k when i bought this

[dr1ft-pig]

hey all, small update, got theese coilpacks today, $100 bux at local wrecker, need to get some custom leads made, anybody know af anywhere that i could get the from????

http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/4/8/4/3/155412.jpg

[Benny]

Can't make them yourself?

[deleta]

just use the hyandi ones

i am

[dr1ft-pig]

i want longer ones so i can mount them where they are pictured, but if its too much hassle then ill just buy daewoo ones

[DRFTPG]

dude just get it done, who cares where they are mounted :P what else needs doing?

[Gilly]

its fairly common practice to "shorten the strut" when converting to coilovers

basically you cut the threaded section off, cut a section off the tube then re weld the threaded section of tube back on. the external threaded sleeve ( the one off your banzaii coilovers) then is welded to the strut covering the joined section thus retaining strength.

you then merely user a shorter shock

ST185, AE92 shocks are a couple i can remeber

mine use ST185 KYB excel G's

retaining the standard length strut is why your car is a little high, shorter springs will cure this much the same as shorter springs would on a convential strut. stroke is somewhat reduced though and you can come close to bottoming out the shock which is why people build coilovers in the first place :lol:

good to see steady progress on this rig

stop breaking things :P:

[dr1ft-pig]

haha cheers gilly, and yeah i really do gotta stop breaking shit, im going to build a better set of struts most probably go back to ae86 struts with the fc brake upgrade as i want power steering arms, and ill do a way better job on theese and shorten them and us a koni adjustable shock will get something to suit the st185....is that a corona or something?? celeica???

[dr1ft-pig]

dude just get it done, who cares where they are mounted :P what else needs doing?[/b]


alot needs doing mang, there will be more frequent updates in the coming weeks as its only small shit that needs doing now all the big shit is done (barr exhaust) so yeah keep an eye out guys and keep the comments coming

[Gilly]

Celica is ST185

I'll have a pair of 86 struts availlable soon , you know from where :lol:

[rthy]

looks like your spending some time trying to make it all to a high standard, i respect that.

I sujest ditching the stock trumpets though.

also sorry if I missed something but if you are not going to run boost why not "upgrade" to a T50? your car would be faster when done

why the rear brace?

which disk brakes are you going for?

[dr1ft-pig]

looks like your spending some time trying to make it all to a high standard, i respect that.

I sujest ditching the stock trumpets though.

yeah, stock trumpets will be ditched for T3 items when money allows as im strapped as for cash

na no boost, the reason for the w58 as it has an awesome 2nd gear ratio and is ALOT stronger than a t50, T50's are pure junk, if a half dead 16v can kill one in less than 3 months then a 20v will smash it easy as with the way i drive

rear brace was cheap so i bought it

stock jdm rear brakes

[rthy]

with the T3 trumpets did you check at what revs they are tuned to? I havent yet myself but I suspecting they may be way too high.

Also whats your plans for filtration?

with the T50, I have hever heard of anyone breaking one with a non boosted engine. If you must have a W box I sujest getting ratios that suit the 20v better, ie: a W55. On the bright side you will probably make a profit doing such a swap.

With the brace if you like the look of it then leave it, it is just ballast though.

With the leads you can do what I did: get some OEM 20v leads or hyundai ones (they dont fit as well because they are longer though) and then just shorten them to suit. I have changed my coilpacks location 5 times now!! hehehehe. I think I have the final place now though. Apparently its pretty easty to get something custom made though, which I might do for my 7AFE head upgrade.

Also with the rear brakes have you considered corona disks? unless I am mistaken JDM rear brakes are 200mm or so and have a brake pad smaller than the side of a matchbox. Corona has a 280mm diameter disk but it has its downsides also.

Not trying to be negative or anything, I like your approch to your build and I would like to see where you are going with it. I am just trying to give some constructive sujestions, feel free to question my advice at any time, I am learning also.

to be honest i really didnt know there were tuned lenghts for intake trumpets, but hey u learn something new everyday

about the t50, i broke one lol so im not taking that chance again, most of the w series boxes have same ratios just the steel cased 58 which i have has a different 2nd gear ratio which is really long and was told by my mate who i brough it off that it was an improvement from the t50 (came from his improved production sprinter, was behind worked 16v) so going off what he has experienced with this box its going to be really good, but yeah i can kinda see where your coming from, going to a heavier box may drain a little power but not too worried, ive been thing about a beams 3sge instead of going 7age so that will come in around a years time after its back on the road (i have 2s* bellhousing to suit w58 t 3sge sitting here)

what do you mean by ballast??? sorry for my ignorance but in a yr9 dropout haha the brack should strengthen it up and make it a lil more rigid


i got some leads from a nissan terrano, they aren the best but it will work till cousin steals more from a car that "needs new leads"

na havent considered corona stuff, being a kouki diff the brackets wont line up so im going with the stock kouki brakes for now, once i get the car set up right i will be making a 2 way bracket and running 2 calipers on each side, 1 for normal braking and stock handbrake and the other will have a sticky set of pads and be run off a hydraulic handbrake of some kind

i dont think your being negative at all, i love it when people throw suggestions and hints/tips etc, its a good learning base as when someone tell me about something new, i read up on it, ive read your tech page heaps of times, since i have been on this forum, i have learnt a fair bit, and now doing this conversion on my own has made me learn so much which is why i always answer to tech Q's when i can..

here is example of brake setup (beau yates car)

[dr1ft-pig]

hey guys, a little bit of an update, got a new seat this morning, dark blue/grey JDM seat fuckin comphy got it from dane (thenewkid84) ex madhouse seat yo ahah heres some pics

[riceburner]

Ill be the first to say wtf twin calipers. Havent seen that before on a hachi

[dr1ft-pig]

thats on beau yates hachi, 1 is purely for hydraulic handbrake as disk brakes arent the best for handbraking with a cable

looks pretty trick i think, will be very effective

[samoo]

that seat is pimpin :P

[dr1ft-pig]

that seat is pimpin :P[/b]


cheers, its soooo comphy, hugs u almost as good as a fixed back, this will be up for sale when i get cash to buy a fixed back and proper rail though

[obey wan boenny]

I'll take the seat off your hands when you're ready :P

[DRFTPG]

new seat looks nice and supportive!!!

[Benny]

That twin caliper setup is insane.. Personally never seen it before. Anyone know where there is a full writeup on it?

[86xxx]

Pretty simple really, one caliper is set up with normal brakes and cable handbrake, the other is a hydraulic handbrake, so a hydraulic system (independant to the brake system) with the cable handbrake just forgotten about (not used.).

[Bustin_86]

When SamQ said ballast he was cheekily reffering to your strut brace as being nothing more than extra weight :P

JGTC cars have to meet a certain weight, so they often go below that weight, so that they can move the extra weight (ballast) around the car to optimise handling. Ie, weight distribution.

[dr1ft-pig]

I'll take the seat off your hands when you're ready :P[/b]
yeah well it will be up for sale when im finished with it so yeah whoever got the cash can take it haha, or i could start hoarding haha


new seat looks nice and supportive!!![/b]
very supportive, although i havent driven with it yet i have sat in it and tried to move around and compared to my passenger seat it has 100x less movement


When SamQ said ballast he was cheekily reffering to your strut brace as being nothing more than extra weight :P[/b]


i see, i dont see why its just dead weight, i see it as a brace thats designed to do its job and rigid up th body a bit, seems to do its job just by grabbing onto it, its solid as

[rthy]

intake uning: yes the length from the intake valve to the opening in the airbox/plenum has a significant effect on the power level and delivery, over 30% difference in power from what I have seen in dyno charts. I can show you the formular to work it out if you like. From memory the primary harmonic resonance in the intake happens at 6500 in a stock 20v after vvt is turned off. Shortening those trumpets will raise that, the T3 ones may lift your primary resonace to 8000rpm which is not a practical setting for your engine setup. In true American style they don't tell you that. When I was going for my blacktop/silvertop hybrid engine I was going to tune it to have a primary resonance with vvt at the same resv as what the car cruised on on the freeway. I think this corresponded to a 6200 rpm resonance with VVT off. But seeing I am ditching the 20v at this stage I will sadly lose any form of variable cam timing and therefore just have a single tuned point in my intake. So I will probably tune my intake for a primary intake resonance at 6500 and a primary resonance in the exhaust at maybe 7000.

rear brace: Bustin was ahead of me on an answer on this one, that brace is just dead weight unless you like a shiny ornament in the back of your car. Ok I really didn't want to go out of my way to show how something is completely no good because I don't want to be putting any down. However because it genuinely sounds like you want to know I will explain.

There are actually quite a few reasons why it just cant work:

- In a normal sprinter there are very little side loads in the rear shocker towers and very little bending movement in that part anyway.

- The movement there is is higher up and the section your brace is bolted to is just above a floor-panel for which there is a very thick subframe brace underneath.

Even if that section would move it doesn't really matter here's why:

- the two things on each side using that as a support is the spring and the shocker top. Neither one of these positively locate the suspension geometry. This is the job of the 5 links (or 4 for me), in regard to locating the tops of the springs and shocks the can move as much as they like providing that that isn't a significant change to their relative length which cant happen on any car that I can see.

- the movement in most ends of cars is only in mm unless something is wrong. That brace is bolted to sheet metal, I think it would easly be able to flex a few mm with the give in the metal before it would provide any meaningful opposing force.

- even if it was on a proper anchor point that brace by the looks of it is just a piece of aluminium pipe, again I think it would have much more give in it than what you might think. I will say though I am bias n this area and I think most of the braces coming out of Japan are cheap crap.

All that said your brace if it was a different design would do something if you had a Macpherson strut rear suspension which no sprinter does. Ontop of that there is a rear brace for a sprinter that does actually work. It bolts between the rear seat latch mounts, they can double up as a good harness mount too.

One last thing on the topic it may be my personal opinion but I think aluminium is a poor brace material and is used out of economic reasons, for me its cro-mo or nothing.


ignition lads: Nissan Terrano? How compatable are they to a 20v? this is a new one to me. As for your cousin hehehe what a sneak.




also I just said what i said before about being negative because I dont want to come across as someone who knows everything, thinks that everyone else is worse off or knows nothing worth knowing, because none is of this true.

As for my tech page, is that my cooling guide? I really dont get much feedback on that one so I dont know if people use it or not.

[dr1ft-pig]

so the tuned length just kind of determines where the paek power will be in a way, if so id like that around 8500 and as for the brace, im not really too worried, i will be getting a rear brace made to go between rear seat latch mounts and have a harness mount on it

and yeah rear your cooling guide, its pretty good though i didnt really understand y u made a custom water pump etc, the external thermostat is a much easier idea although it may look a little bit rough, its effective and it works

[rthy]

not directly where the peak power is but it can have that effect. The easiest way to imagine it is it shifts the whole power curve around.

With my cooling guide yeah I ground the blades of the pump a bit but I know that the external thermostat is the easier option. I was meant to rewrite the article to allow for that also but I never got around to it.

[dr1ft-pig]

i see, thats fair enough, i wont be running a thermostat at all for a while as im fukt for cash so just a thermo switc for now hooked to a thermo fan, im drunk so excuse the english
