Ofcourse though this is all here or hear say....

Ah...didn't spot that....this could indeed be the problem.

I think if the coil is always energised and never discharged it will get hot, just check the points and come back cause you said you replaced the coil so that's the last thing. Oh and just double check to see if you have an ignition feed on the positive terminal and that the earth side goes to the coil (and maybe your tacho)

Check your points!! Take the cap off the dizzy and look inside, tell someone to turn over the engine and see if the points are opening and closing. Like altezzaclub has previously stated Oh and what I think he means altezza is that he puts the coil output down to an earth to see if it's out put the spark, not to see if the earth signal from the distributor is on and off.

So at the end of the day if it's the same car, same engine, same gearbox but with the only difference being is that one is NA and the other is turbo is that the result would be totally dependant on how the engines have been setup and where they make the power and torque.......It has nothing to do with how cool turbo's are or whatever car you bring into this as from the original post it was always the same car same engine. Cheers for your responses guys.

I think it's all drivers these days, no one gives a shit about anyone else on the road. And this is a WGMG btw

Nice.

Hey thanks guys, yeah nothing on ebay and found three year old WTB threads.....I think redwarf purchased some in the past but unsure. Found this as well http://senyumsuka.blogspot.com/

Hey guys didn't know where to post this but does anyone know what these lights are from? Cheers

My mate has a landcruiser and basically says when people cut him off they just want to be tailgated and horned, I am the same....it's worse when people cut you off into a free lane and go under the speed limit.....

:down:

So what your saying is if a NA motor has a greater "area under the curve" this theoretically means it would be quicker than a turbo motor.

Hey guys, I recently had quiet an extensive argument with a mate of mine about a NA car vs a turbo car. Basically what I was saying is if two cars lined up to each other and they both were making the same power but differently aspirated (turbo and NA) the NA would have more chance of winning, as the power is all done internally and doesn't rely on a turbo. My boss was saying that it would depend on how the NA car was tuned as in what Cam/headwork/blockwork was done. So what do you guys reckon?

Metal head gasket and NOS.....

Haha don't have a sister man, went to braeview and woodcroft if that helps....suby's my parts storage unit for the next couple of weeks.

Alright, thought I was gonna get the twin dellorto's on the car and be able to drive it for a bit but a mate has offered to do all the body work and get it in primer ready to be painted. So I'll be dropping it off maybe tomorrow to get all that done, and also planning what's going to happen with the dash and everything else......will have major updates in a couple of weeks.

Haha that was Sliesh, and you must of seen my suby daily...

Not a fan....... :blush:

Did you do the ol' layer property change with the independant RGB settings to get that? Did you copy and paste all the white bits into a different layer and modify it like that or? And change of plan the Blue doesn't sit right with the car so I might go a really crazy black....like a soul sucking black ;)

What carbies are you running?...not twin dellorto's? Thought I'd ask cause I'm about to upgrade to 2 and my boss says it's gonna drink the fuel.

I had a Sour Apple flavoured one the other day.....I wonder who the hell came up with that and thought it was a good idea....

Here's a challenging one.....It's time to paint the rolla and I am a bit unsure of the colour but have seen one that I might like, but I'm not that great at photoshop so... The colour is where the arrow is pointing On this pic Cheers

If it has more than 1 wire coming out of it, it's an electronic distributor. Does anyone know how the GT40R is internally to give it a boosted output without increasing the current through the points?

You can't upgrade the coil without replacing the points otherwise you burn them out, the voltage is the same (without the ballast I mean). And from previous threads you'll know that when you put something like a gt40 in place of the original the amount of current through the ignition system is greater. Another thing is if you want to go one step further is to get a programmable ignition system which will require an electronic dizzy.

Upgrade to a electronic distibutor and use a Bosch GT40 coil, there is a guy on here that sells new distributors. (KE motorsport in the site sponsors area)
