try the throttle stop thing. if it doesn't have an adjustment screw, tape a 5 cent coin to the stop and see how you go. it will take like 30 seconds :D

depends what else you do to it. angela from SA has a big dollar programmable efi 5k with custom inlet, hks gt2530 turbo, apexi avcr, blah blah blah and she's only making 215hp at the flywheel do the same thing to a datsun a12 and you get 250hp. k motors just can't make big numbers without spending more money than is worth it, that's all it comes down to

get used to search engines, we're not here to spoonfeed you :D block the middle rocker cover pipe with a 10mm rubber cap, you can get them for a few bucks in those "panel packs" at supercheap, on the same stand you buy bolts and stuff from steel wool would probably make little bits of itself get inside your engine and that's bad. pot scrubbers look like metal filings and they won't come apart the air filter is not a source of vacuum, don't use it at all

"gunk" isn't very descriptive in troubleshooting what was wrong with your carb you should run a hose from the rocker cover to the can, then from the can back to the manifold, so you have something to suck the excess crankcase vapours out the engine. just having a milo tin or coke bottle wouldn't be of great help keeping your oil unpolluted you fill the oil/air separator with pot scrubbers or something, so the oil stays in it, but the air can flow back to the engine

and you'd need to have that engineered too

with thousands of pictures :D

my mistake, the other one i'm thinking of is this budget turbo 3k

the mixer. he did another one, i'll see if i can find it

brad's first blower setup

that's what i understood it as from the first post. some people :D

research carb setups. you could use a weber from a blowthru turbo renault, or an aisan from a turbo charade. or you could use a drawthru setup with some SUs or sidedrafts (or any carb you can make the manifold for really) however you can't run an intercooler with drawthru. its usefulness would be debateable on a forced K motor tho, you can force 6psi into them with no problems, 8psi with reduced lifespan, and 10psi makes them go bang awfully quickly

scott's old auto rubber spectrum auto rubber google or whitepages start a new topic if you have a new question acutally, perhaps the engine dyno thing should be its own topic too :D

sponsored by, but not built by you'll actually be pretty hard pressed to find a mainstream drift car that ISN'T sponsored by streeter. give enough people cost price bodykits to get your name and product out there, and soon people will be calling you up from interstate and internationally to get your kits, regardless of cost. it's a business strategy that's working for him too

i use fotki but they've doubled their prices since i joined up, so when mine runs out in 2007 or something, i'll be looking for new hosting

yeah, brad from oldcorollas had a supercharged 5k a few years ago. it ran lpg through an impco mixer, with an SC12 running off a modified aircon bracket. i believe there is a picture of his engine bay on the oldcorollas yahoo group

that wasn't a streeter car, it had a streeter kit on it but that's it the blue streeter sprinter got sold the week after ATD for $9k, the only other streeter sprinter is currently on blocks in ken's workshop with a 20v next to it as far as i know anyway

really? hmm, my bimmer had mechanical injection (another shitty bosch product) you could always try wedging something in the throttle stop just to see if i'm right, then either bend things to adjust it, or epoxy a washer in its place could also be the gearbox is worn, or the converter. try changing the trans fluid i'm one to exhaust all possible avenues of self-service torubleshooting before giving my money to a mechanic who'll just do them anyway and it might not fix a thing

the spacers in all our photos are aluminium. i'd expect you could get a 50mm block of it for under us$50

nobody makes a spacer for the stock carby, the adapters we have are to put a weber carburettor on the stock manifold, as the base patterns are different, they just happen to be taller as well just make one out of something solid like metal or maybe high density plastic. not wood

i would be entertaining the idea that the century's engine is getting on 20 years old, running on crapper fuel here than it was ever intended to in japan, and can no longer maintain stock idle speed against the load of the highest transmission gear (reverse) against the torque converter my bimmer was of similar vintage, and whenever i got it serviced, the mechanic would put it down to stock idle speed (750rpm or something) and it was a constantly-stalling piece of crap, even just clutching in at an intersection was enough to conk it out. i'd raise the stopper screw up till it sat on 950rpm and it never missed a beat so perhaps just try raising the idle a couple hundred rpm?

i don't own it anymore. from memory it was 45mm but i'm not certain

we should come up with a system to measure torque, perhaps you could load up a torque wrench and see where it clicks or something. horsepower being merely a product of torque and rpm, we could make the rollaclub engine dyno :D

you can also make up a spacer out of several stock carby pcv plates. you'd need longer studs in the manifold, and it would be an idea to make up a gasket for each and permatex it in. and of course, block off the pcv hole i had a stack of them i'd epoxied up the holes in and was making gaskets to go between them, then i got a pair of sprinter twins, then rob sold me those SUs :D
