February 4, 201016 yr Author comment_411010 Almost there now.. Wiring 50% done, will be finished tomorow night, cheers Nick Headers fitted Fuel rail efi line done Intake system fitted Only a slight exhaust mod to go then if all goes well hit the road jack!! Report
February 8, 201016 yr Author comment_412159 Well got this wired up over the weekend, few issues here and there, but got there in the end. Took it for a spin earlier, not tuned at all at the moment, idle at 2 grand, maybe vacum leaks, maybe something else, not sure, will look into it this week, have massive CBF at the moment. Exhaust is all done, it smells like a go car at the moment, have the wrong size injectors in it at the moment, pretty sure they are maxing out their duty cycle, sending the standard ones off to melbourne tomorow to get cleaned and revamped, the fit em up and see how we go Also need to put a banjo bolt on the end of the clutch slave line, it the braided line at the moment is hitting on the headers, so with that on it should be all good, have a speed flow fitting here to be fitted, ill get around to it this week. Oh, and f@$k this thing is loud, sounds like a gokart on steroids! got headers with 2 inch piping, hotdog and straight through twin tip muffler.. Pics later ron, also a video Edited February 8, 201016 yr by Prewer Report
February 9, 201016 yr Author comment_412279 Get injectors back tomorow, then check timing and see if i can get it to idle under 2 grand :) Report
February 9, 201016 yr comment_412437 From memory when you set the idle on a 4AGE you need to connect a couple of wires in a plug to do it properly. Nick would have known this if he helped you set the timing though. Report
February 10, 201016 yr Author comment_412720 Idle problem was that when i got my acc cable modified, i got it done 5mm too short, solvered now though!!! Well, its officially back on the road now. Still got a few teething problems though, but ill nut them out in due course. Need to got a thermo fan on there pretty soon, don't like sitting and ildling for too long. Also, might have to get another muffler put in, its far too loud for my liking, its pretty much the same setup that i had when i had the 4AC, but now its just stoopid. Time to celean the shed up now, build a deck for the backyard then by them ill convinvce the fiance its time to get some fresh paint on this!! Report
February 17, 201016 yr Author comment_414686 All problems pretty much sorted now, new injectors in, all flowed and cleaned, idle problems sorted, all sensors plugged in and doing their thing. End result, I'm pretty happy with this, not as powerfull as other cars ive owned, but this one is actually pretty fun/funky to drive. Now, time to clean the body up, and get these coilovers built! also bump steer is a bitch... Report
February 17, 201016 yr comment_414702 Yeah must seems like a little bit of a slouch compared to the commodore..... mind you it probably also seems like a go-kart compared to it to!? Report
February 18, 201016 yr comment_414844 Congrats on finishing the conversion mate, looks tops, if mine comes up half as clean as that i'll be happy! Vids plz :) Report
March 23, 201016 yr Author comment_423948 So i raced the rolla at tassie nats on the weekend, had a blast, no locked diff, standard engine/ecu, no turbo's or suparchargers, just a 40hp shot of nitrous in her belly Managed to get a best run of 14.3 with a 2.0 sixty footer, pretty good going for a tired engine really! Anyway, last run it ran a bit dry on oil, was blowing a bit of smoke aparently, so engines out already, time for a set of rings and bearings. Report
March 24, 201016 yr comment_423982 Yeah I saw you do a couple of passes mid arvo'ish you were only doing low 15's then though from memory. Had to have a giggle when I mate told me you had some giggly gas up her. What time did racing end up finishing Saturday night. One of my mates left after round 3 of the bikes at 11pm, said they wouldn't have finished until 1am'ish!! Report
March 24, 201016 yr Author comment_423997 Yeah, walked in the door at home bout 1am Was a late one thats for sure Report
March 24, 201016 yr comment_424000 So did you knock off a fair bit of time at night in the cold air? Report
March 25, 201016 yr Author comment_424387 Nah, got my freak run mid afternoon, managed consistant 14.6's in it all night through eliminations till last run when i had the engine issue. Half pulled down engine last night, number one bigend has spat it, nothing a set of rings, bearings and a crank machine wont fix ;) Report
