Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Because your setting BASE timing, with no alterations, you should only effect it when the vac or mechanical advance do their thing :D

Yep, that makes sense and ties in with the timing table I have yet to set up for the electronic ignition. This table has MAP (manifold air pressure) on the ...

you could also wire it up to the fuel pump.
I had an efi xf once, always left the keys in it. no one ever stole it. bastards!

probably increase consumption! cold air is harder for a motor to suck in, hot air is thinner so flows easier, as well the reduced mass of warmer air requiring less fuel. hot air also needs more throttle for the same power as cold air, so less pumping losses. FA in it though!

I've used a soft wax type product, sorry forget its name. brush it on on a warm day, works well, but too much on = shit. can also be tinted with enamel paint. ~ $20 per litre (enough to do a lwb soft top 2x)

NP 435, cheap to buy, strong as superman, granny low, easy to rebuild, fits a 5L with a toploader bellhousing, short, ..........

essentially only a three speed box though and about 1k of custom work to adapt it to a case.

How many I/O ? It may be easier to build or buy a Microcontroller based board unit, will certainaly be cheaper. Was thinking of doing this myself for a custom BCM. Program in basic or c with a free compiler off net, real easy..

Tell me more.

The application that's on my mind at the moment is ...

Out of curiosity what do you plan on using it for? I've been playing round with some Atmel ATMega microcontrollers for a thermofan control with an lcd display (16*2 line). These are 5V but its dead simple to make a powersupply on the actual circuit board.

Dont know about kiwibacon, but I want to ...

yeah do it - compared to a dizzi there are no cons - its all pro. dizzies suck.

Yeah its a head F%$# if you don't have a cert in Vic, been there done that

IMO paint the 186 green, stamp an unused landy number on the block - the vic road muppets wouldn't know any different.

What number is on the rego? I assume it hasn't been done officially.

doing the work yourself will cost more - as it will be done properly. budget shop rebuilds are crap.

some ball parks,

pistons------------- 250
bearings-----------150
rod bolts------------70
resize rods----------60
block clean----------60
fit rods---------------50
gasket kit-----------100
crank ...

Have been toying with the idea of throwing in a EFI holden v8 and Marks Adapter kit but decided against it due to the much larger cost for engine(with loom and ECU) $1500, plus adapter kit somewhere above the $1000 dollar mark.


How much were you expecting the 3.5 rebuild to cost? the above ...

<<< soft top?

Sorry to drag this thread up from the grave, but did you get the auto conversion sorted?

Im thinking of getting the trimatic in there before I get some driveshafts made

Hi mate, sorry ended up going with the ford np435. Its not auto but I'm happy with it.

Sold the c4 conversion on ebay ...

I gotta get rid of the carb for engineering reasons :twisted:

from what I've read the 225 is an in-line mixer and basically spot on for a 5ltr.

anyone else got anything more for me?

but if you can get an EFI manifold to fit as well......

I've got one there, I just dont like wires... I dont ...

yeah all that - but if you can get an EFI manifold to fit as well......

You've put too much work into that post for it to be lost in the elec section.

I vote for a move to members.

go a 78L05 - should be able to fit it all in the battery compartment of the fob.

this is worth a read:

I will be running stock dizzy and coil. So if I've selected 'Distributor' under the codebase/outputs menu, that will happily deal with the dizzy reluctor? And then I can just leave the feed to the coil disconnected whilst I get it running on fuel only?

And the question of the wiring was, to ...

check the switches. ???//

Drive train lift ? any room?

:rofl:

yep i'm am spoilt sport. Am I good at it??


you all know what i'm getting at.

somtimes I wonder why there was a need to ask the question on the tail shaft in the first place when clearly the answer was already known.

have fun let us know how you fixed the problem.

So have all the goat ...

I've pretty much ready to put a new mtr in the landey (efi 202)

trouble is I'll need custom extractors to get it to fit. For the same $$ I can get a turbo manifold with one of those hairdryer things. These will (should) fit.

I never intended to run FI so built the 202 for 9.5:1 - what sort of ...

I vote drill it, slide the head off - then remove with a set of stilsons.

Jeez, gotta turn the volume up to hear it. Manifold leak?????

why not?

Does anyone check the Ph of the coolant?

I've had real good results using lemon juice.

My head hurts.

Looking at the kits from Glens Garage, trying to work out what I need.

I want two kits, one for the rangie, and one for my alfa.

The rangie I want to have spark control, fuel (duh!), knock sensors, and maybe dual oxy sensors.

The alfa needs fuel, spark, knock sensor, boost ...
