  1. Yes it might fit. But if the radiator isn't up to the task all that is going to happen is the thermostat will fully open a little earlier and still overheat.
  2. I don't you're getting Dave's point. Factory thermostats were designed to run within the optimal temperature range of the engine. If you want to 'push' said engine past what you deem normal operation and create more heat, this isn't a problem for the thermostat, it's a problem for the radiator. Think about in terms of a thermostat is a heat pump. You want your room at a comfortable 20°. What's going to get there quicker more effectively? The heat pump in the big lounge room or the one in the closet!?
  3. I like engine masters... Even if it is all V8 based. Starting watching them after I worked my way through every roadkill episode lol
  4. Well I'm about to start pulling an engine and box again for the second time in 2 months.
  5. Sometimes the cable will stretch over time and you don't notice so much with a worn old clutch. You might need some extra spacing where the cable comes through the fire wall. You need the cable relatively tort when the pedal isn't depressed.
  6. ∆ on a flywheel that has had a slipping clutch it can get glazed up and not give the best surface for a new clutch plate. With an aggressive clutch ie button you will also get wear similar to a brake rotor so machining becomes essential.
  7. You shouldn't really be putting a new clutch in without getting the flywheel refaced
  8. No you need a ke30/55 one unless you want to cut the tunnel back
  9. As per text already 0.5 over. Very much hoping bores are all good
  10. No. Still runs on 3. Guessing maybe a melted/cracked piston. Is my own stupid fault.
  11. .... And now the slipping clutch is the least of my worries.... As I've just blown the motor. Note to self, don't go hard on an inadequate tune maybe.
  12. Yeah mate all full. Still got some tuning to do, but due a rough double of the old fuel map is running pretty good. .... Brand new bluesteel clutch kit that's slipping on first drive... Not so good.
  13. I bolted one on my 55 today. Will let you know what it's like in due course.
  14. Isn't that just up the road from Omaru? (Spelling)..... Ie home of blown5k
  15. Yeah that's fuck all timing. I run like 28° on top of 15 odd psi!
  16. Checked transmission fluid level?
  17. I think 3k pistons in a 4ku would give you too high of a C/r
  18. Short answer is no. And even if you could you wouldn't want to.
  19. I've put one on my 5k. Before hand it would climb up to about 120 degrees when having a bit of a dip, now I haven't seen it go past about 85 which is also where the water temp sits.
  20. The advantage of the ls1 coils Dave is the fact they have inbuilt ignitors. Banjo will still need ignitors to drive those. My brackets and wiring is all done now, just need to install.... Yours look good btw
