November 11, 201015 yr comment_481683 what did that end up costing if you don't mind me asking??? Report
November 11, 201015 yr Author comment_481684 Bought it 12 months ago off toymods. Brand new in box, uncut looms, stickers etc. $130 to my door. Report
November 12, 201015 yr comment_481746 Notice you're running a GT40R coil. The "R" indicated that it HAS to be used in conjunction with a resistor. It's only designed to run most of its life at 6-8v so the full 14v will burn it out pretty quick. Solution - Sell that coil to somebody who is still using a resistor and buy yourself a GT40. :wink: Either that or get yourself a coil like what I'm using in Tar. Report
November 12, 201015 yr Author comment_481778 Yea, i do realise its a balast resistor model. I spoke to a local mechanic and he said i shouldnt have any issues with it. Either way, I'll be getting an MSD blaster 2 coil when funds permit. Report

November 13, 201015 yr Author comment_482026 Got the diode installed today, works just like it should! Also got an SV21 thermo installed too, controlled by a Davies Craig thermo switch. Still a bit of adjusting but the fan's working awesome! Report
November 15, 201015 yr comment_482329 I'm still thinking about the MSD's from the US, if you can wait a little bit, I'll get 2 blaster coils. Report
November 15, 201015 yr comment_482334 I'm still thinking about the MSD's from the US, if you can wait a little bit, I'll get 2 blaster coils. Think it might be more so a matter of weather the coil can hold out until then rather than Ryan!!! Report
November 15, 201015 yr Author comment_482345 How soon you looking at getting the MSD stuff Tom? Coil seems to be coping so far. Hopefully it keeps going long enough. Took it for a 3 1/2hr drive yesterday and didnt have a single issue. Ordered a Tridon Thermo switch today also, will get rid of the adjustable Davies Craig switch and the Tridon one will screw directly into the thermostat housing. I seem to have 2 temp senders for some reason, maybe old emmisions gear. The 2nd one on the passenger side will be replaced with the new one. Report
November 16, 201015 yr Author comment_482611 More electrickery installed today. Ditched the Davies Craig thermo controller in favour of a Tridon thermo switch. Much more neatness. Turns out to be the same switch used by a member on here who races speedway (name escapes me now) 95-90 on-off temp. Which is the same as what the book recommends for the ol' 4k. P/N for the recommended 4k switch: TFS 151. (switches to ground) The one I used: TFS 148. (switches power) Actually intended for Subarus! Pics to follow. Report
