you may find that either your fan relay or the actual temp sensor in your radiator has had it.

flooding - no spark. pull off coil lead from coil, then crank motor, if you have spark there then its a problem with leads dizzy or plugs.

i think people are getting seriously confused when i describe what we are trying to do here. 1.) no we have no intention whatsoever of running a freshly built engine on tbi. tbi designed for 2.0l is no good for 2.4l. 2.) the 4g64 WILL fit the 4g64 flywheel. yes folks, the ORIGINAL flywheel that came...

Tomorrow we will be test fitting the 7 bolt wideblock flywheel with starion clutch onto a starion gearbox. Stay tuned!

to add to tams last post, our so far tentative plan is to put an l300 ecu and loom on it with standard l300 exh manifold for engine break in, and then add turbo exh mani and turbo. edit: and yes it is a 7 bolt crank but it is definitely a wideblock. and from extensive research i did prior to this, i...

How important is the valve shrouding? A lot of people use vr4 pistons in there 4g63? And the ones i found are available in any compression ratio from 8 to 12 to suit twimcan head. So surely i could find the right one to fit the different head?

Just another quick question. Have seen two different forged pistons listed which may work. One is to quit 4g64 with twimcan head. The other is to suit 4g63 twin cam with 2.4 crank. I assume the first one is the right one? And rods seem to come in two sizes 22mm and 21mm . I presume that as long as t...

do i need a different fuel pressure regulator or something with this? or do i just replace my standard pump with this?

the current pump is way beyond buggered.

so how do i know if the pump is genuine. don't really wanna travel to auckland from whangarei just to buy a fuel pump but all the ones on trademe are *GENUINE* which pretty much guarantees that they are crap. unless there is a way to tell? or even better, unless someone knows who to buy from?

1: any particular size/type of fitting i need to replace the stock starion pump ?

2:i wanna get a walbro 255lph pump, should i do external or internal?

3:is it worth putting in a surge tank?

thanks

anyone know what the correct plug gap is ?

its tamgesic here. Id ask crshbndct but cant so anyone knows what he meant when he told me to 'make sure you gap the plugs properly'

thats what he told me and about to change plugs now . Ive heard about gapping just dont know what it means.

If anyone could help asap cheers

being that we are converting the car to 5 stud and putting in the lsd out of the ex soon, is it worth getting a mount plate made up to fit the 4 pot front/2 pot rear skyline brakes? can we fit the rotor at the same time, or does it not have a high enough hat thingy? meaning not enough offset and rub...

is that leather?

would give my right nut for non power steering.

starion p/s sucks

just get a blow torch on the spring... when you heat it up the weight of the car will compress it by bending the coil you have heated up. easy. (this is why i couldnt get the top nuts off of the struts. the car had enormously long bump stops and the springs were only semi captive at rest) pics up so...
