Outer Limits 4x4 Board

White smoke can be brake fluid.... It comes from the master cylinder leaking into the booster, then the booster sucking it into the manfold.

It might be a coincedence that its when its cold, as it has also sat for a while and therefore may have built up?

Just a thought.

1.5mm longer stroke & different pistons.

Both engines keep the the same bore size 74.000mm , which would be your main reason they use the same gasket kits.

Your ACL Valve regrind set is DN480/1MT or the full set is GN481MT

There is two different head shims one .8mm the other 1.5mm , if you ...

I have a clutch aligning tool if you would like to borrow one.

MF

No, fill it to the brim!

You waste a tank of fuel, but you save the fuel tank from rusting out.... if its empty moister will start to build up.

When I was in the local bearing shop the other day I was looking at their nylon rods and an idea sprung to my head. Will the nylon be strong enough to use as a driveshaft spacer? I've made up a driveshaft spacer for the front end out aluminium but it was a pain because the only stock material I can ...

Do you guys use the timing mark on the front pulley, or the one on the flywheel?

I prefer flywheel.

Thoughts?

MF

i take it you have tried it then?

I take it that you have too, and thats why you are able to dismiss it!

Motorcycles (Road) put out much more Hp than a Zuk (ANY Zuk) and they run all their power thru a rubber cush drive..... whether it be in the back wheel, or in the front sprocket.

And yes i ...

yeah, was half finished. picks up on more points. done lots of variations. but one thing to remember-run 2 uni's, and forget rubber joints.

I reckon that if a Mercedes putting out a couple hundred HP can run thru a rubber joint, then a Holden Gemini engine powering an 800kg Zuk wont have any ...

You could use a rubber connector, like Mercedes use rather than universal joints. This would give you the small connector that would also minimise vibrations....

.... Just a thought.

Some ways to check....

Use a thermometer, but be careful because it will be hot either way...

Pull the thermostat all the way out of the housing, and run it with out one. Does it still get that high on the gague?

Whats the resistance reading at cold, and hot from the sender unit?

Is the radiator ...

Researchin water injection, spozd to up power a bit and cool better.

I've had water injection on mine for a while. Makes a huge difference, but takes a heap of fiiddeling around to get it right.

I have mine drawing the water under its own vacuume, but is switched by a micro switch on the ...

The power still has to come from somewhere.....

Intall solar pannels for the lights

If its sucking oil on roll on, its the valve stem seals, its a n easy fix.

They are probably rock hard.

For the fuel issue, pull the fuel line off the carby, and put it in a glass jar. Get a mate to crank the engine over for you and see if fuel is comming out freely. Also check the filter.

Hang on a minute there Mike_1324 - you can't have it both ways - you can't claim Dyno's are BS and then start comparing you car with others based on dyno figures without all the variables at hand.


Steve.

Yeah, but thats a long way out! 4 or five horses maybe, but not a masiave span from a 1.3 ...

Hang on..... thats 50.8 hp at the back wheels (To the rollers) by that chart is it???? With a 1.6 efi???

Mine was 51.5 hp at the back whells to the roller with a carby 1.3....



MF

Yeah, i'll scan it and upload it.

Dynos are BS, it was just the novalty of putting it on, and it was a free run cos a mate owns the dyno. hp is not acurate from them as they are not calibrated (The shop versions) and as GRPABT1 said, they are just a tuning tool, but only to be used under the same ...

Mine got 51.5 bhp from a stock standard 1.3 G13A.

I reckon yours is a good rating. It makes sense for the larger capacity and EFI.

MF

Oooo the suspense! Only one pic of the pink.

Cant wait to see more!

Have you got a vac guague? Check what the manafold vac is to determine if you have an air leak somewhere in the system (from behind the inlet valves to the back of the carb throats) making it run leaner.

I'd check that first.

MF

If its slipping, dont tighten the cable, losen it.

There should be free play at the top and bottom of the pedal movement.

MF

If the grease fixed it,

Maybe consider buying some new wiper seals for that joint. They come with two rubber and two felt seals.

Good work.

Mike

Another rougher option is to remove some of the pad area - its not that hard to do with a angle grinder or milling machine - however its messy !

Just to be sure - I don't mean thickness or the backing plate, just the area.

Remove 20% of the pad friction material area - decrease braking by approx ...

Hi mate,

Its most probably the seals that wipe across the knuckel surface on the ends of the front diff. Try put a bit of grease on the ball shaped things on the ends off the diff, and see if it makes a difference.

I know when my seals were on the way out it made the same noise, i replaced the ...

Its the pivot point for the lever, and as they wear (or even break) its harder to shift, and if it is completly broken/ worn, the lever will turn around and around.....


Mike

Roll the box long ways, as if your roling it over to get the stick hole to the bottom (But dont go that far, just a few deg) they then have enough room.

It gets me every time untill i look at notes i have made for Hoppy.

This explains it, Thanks.

Why to longer shackels affect handleing worse than lifted leaves?

Stupid question, but i cant work it out?


MF

Have you tried resisted leads and resisted plugs?

Instead of of running BP5ES's try BPR5ES or BPZ5ES

Theese are both resited plugs and may help.
