could be the lead from the coil to the dizzy

1. is the throttle cable caught outside of its runner? mine has done this a few times and will rev to about 4k 2. for the sqaueeling, is the alternator belt tight? that can cause squeeling

jeez, i totally forgot about this thread... i got an emanage put on and tuned and as part of the tuning the timing was advanced and it pops more now, i've swapped a recon'd head on and done a heap of other stuff and i'm just accepting now that its cos of the exhaust flowing better and allowing the sound to carry through the system. same thing happens to almost every car i know that's had a bigger exhaust put on

if you want, i can ask a mate of mine, Brad from the twincam.org forums about kyb excel-g's. it'll be supply only but should be reasonable price even with the postage. pm me if you want me to ask, or sign up to twincam and contact him yourself

that commie's parked at the servo at myponga isn't it? i've seen it a few times on my way thru, not a good sight

btw i paid 200 for mine (i think) with about 75% left on pads and discs... rebuilt calipers and greenstuff pads. i got a good deal tho

yep, thats exactly my thought last night when i was reading the posts above, i still haven't had time to check tho, i think its prolly a head/mani leak

yep, easy as piss, i did it a few weeks ago and its sweet. take off old caliper assembly and put the new one on

yeah, no carby for me, but i suspect somehow i have an exhaust leak, hmmmmmmm. i dunno, when i retarded the timing (twisted dizzy anti-clockwise) it stopped doing it, advancing it made it worse, but i've had it timed properly and its still going, dammit... i just haven't had time to sit down properly and work thru some stuff, altho i'm pretty sure its not the throttle body as i changed that a few weeks ago

lesley, it sounds like its something on you r car that wasn't changed when they replaced the engine, like maybe the map sensor or the ecu, intake sensors, that kind of stuff. i would have thought the same prob on a carby would just be a tuning issue, but it would be good to hear what they say.

i know the exhaust makes it easier to hear but its only the muffler thats been changed, i can't hear any miss on idle, and it pops far too often and loudly to be normal. i'll try to get a sound clip of it over the weekend

nah its map standard for smallports. you can see the feint red lines on the graph too, they're the graph of the other smallport ae92 there on the day. he made less power but his mix is not as rich. econ isn't *too* bad, i tend to drive pretty hard so its never gonna be great, around 10/100 in the city and about 7-8 on the open road

this is my power and AFR graph from the dyno

how do i check the map sensor? i've got a vacuum gauge and it always reads more than 22" (generally closer to 24/25"), which i think indicates that there's not enough air getting in but even if i take off the intake hose its still the same

its a smallport 4age, the timing has been set at standard (10deg?) 3 times recently (cos the dizzy had an oil leak and was fixed on 2 occasions) and the car was only tuned about 2 months ago. can the mixture be fixed simply or not? (no afm) plugs and leads changed a few months back
