Well, worked on the car for about 2.5 hours tonight. My buddy worked on the lca's, I worked on pulling my power rack (flaming river install). Both lca's are out and I assembled the maximum motorsport ones, so everything is ready to go back together. Depending on how much a pain the new arms...
I'm doing mm control arms starting tonight. I had the rearend out of the car last year and had to replace a siezed lca bolt so I'm not expecting any delays of that nature this time. That will be the one thing that may happen, the bolts tend to sieze inside the bushing and NOTHING will get it...
My mass-air car ran fine without the o2's. It got bad gas mileage, but ran fine. In fact, I just had the exhaust redone a few weeks ago and put the o2's back in and now I've got a damn surging idle.
I don't get white smoke, so this might not be it... but, I have longtubes and a couple times now the starter wire has burned through and grounds out on the headers... instant no start. One of these times I should redo that wire rather than keep wrapping it in fiberglass cloth :)
For the fuse, get a fusible link. It just solders inline with the main power wire. Do you have Greggs Distributors in Vancouver? We have them here in Alberta and I got a 60 amp Hella relay from them, works good.
I posted a week or two ago about it. It was very slow turning over. Well, after brain storming with my brother (his car) we remembered that when the headers got coated they coated the ground welded to 'em so we removed it. I installed a new ground and it turned over much better. So, we...
I've attached my wiring diagram. I ground switched the setup and it works great. I used a Hella 70 amp relay, nice piece. The switch does not have to be for high amperage loads.
As for mounting the fan, I just dropped it into the bottom clips and then used a tranny cooler mount kit for the...
You can probably find one at an auto store, but it would be big. The thermocouple would be completely inside the fittings and not in the coolant. Being an aluminum intake, you can drill and tap it no problem.
That's probably a good idea. Things like MAF, EGR, TB, IAC, SN95, EECIV, 1.7RR, SFC, LCA, UCA, 90/10, 70/30, CAI... lots of stuff we use I guess that a newbie wouldn't know.
