I know it collects dust but is used by certain companies(gas trucks) to help make the boot of their coil pack last much longer, stop flash over of their spark plugs and just plain old lube. Apparently it can also set like wax after a period of time + heat while still keeping it's properties. Has anyone used it before?

I fairly certain that is what it is, cos you ain't meant to see the actual spark. South Australia has a Wanted To Borrow section not sure if anyone has some spare tho.

where are the sparks coming from on the coilpacks?Find some one with good coil packs and switch over to see if it fixes it.

So you have no valley cover over the coilpacks? And the coil packs are bolted down on the spark plugs? If yes to both and you can see sparks, then your coilpacks are probably stuffed, the back fire noise could have been all the unburnt fuel in the exhaust.

In the Victoria section there will be a sticky thread for workshops. I cannot recommend any personally as i live SA. Cheers.

If i see it up gawler way i'll let u know.

Does spitting mean misfire otherwise i am confused.

R34, i can understand your miffed. Just because everyone has opinions it doesn't necessarily mean they should voice them. As for your decision, it was yours to make. EDIT: wow talk about over zealous and it don't matter who's section that is cos it ain't the wasteland.

The french now want any/all of their citizens to leave Japan or at least head to south Japan. Seeing how they derive 78.8% of their power from atomic energy i would be inclined to listen to them. http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/03/16/uk-japan-quake-france-idUSLNE72F04W20110316

"The probability of this occurring is hard to calculate primarily because of the possibility of what are called common-cause accidents, where the loss of offsite power and of onsite power are caused by the same thing. In this case, it was the earthquake and tsunami. So we're in uncharted territory, we're in a land where probability says we shouldn't be. And we're hoping that all of the barriers to release of radioactivity will not fail." —Physicist Ken Bergeron, who has performed research on nuclear reactor accident simulation at Sandia National Laboratory in New Mexico, in Scientific American. http://www.alternet....ossible_coverup http://au.news.yahoo...-nuclear-plant/

NOT, now stop asking silly questions that most people (even your parents) would know the answer to.

The GTR one should be fine as they apparently flow more than GTS-T, if you were worried about the age/life of the GTR pump buy one of the others.

I guess you will have to put masking tape over it and cut the letters out using a scapel or stanley knife, etc. Same as if you were doing body work prep on a car, any pro spray painters out there with tips is probably who you wanted to ask. Jin_Man and Dohmar from my experience scratching with a screw driver or sand paper still leaves problems eventually, the OP is after a pro finish. No offense intended.

R31-Nismoid is right but Holset has been making turbos many years before kkk and kkr. Failing all else Hyper Gear have some good options check them out also, just don't rush in like most people do because the wrong choice like before will make it regrettable. Talk to the people on here that have tried this stuff before via PM instead of leaving it open. I'm sure R31-Nismoid would be happy to recommend others to talk to if you asked him and from that glean an average in terms of your price range. Providing that you know what you what in terms of general setup. (ie. Standard manifold, internal/external wastegate, and the list goes on.)

This is what i found for NSW not sure whether it applies to the whole country. EDIT: Maybe you should call the EPA or someone like that and get it from the horses mouth. Noise from motor vehicle horns Horns cannot be installed or used if they are louder than the level in clause 21 of the Regulation. This level is 120 decibels for noise made up of a single non-varying loudness and pitch or 85 decibels in any other case. Police and Emergency Service vehicles are exempt. Horns should be used as traffic warning devices only and not as a means of relieving driver stress or frustration. http://www.environme...ehiclenoise.htm

Yea i'll change that now.

That's alright, no problems. If i had the cash, yes i probably would for something different(as it seems every one is running RB26, 1and 2JZ). There are only a hand full of these engines around and are in old school hot rods, getting the thing to fit may take a bit of mucking around however.

I suppose you could be right and upon thinking about it maybe even the initial change of the fuel filter when first going to E85 might not be needed. Ethanol as we know is a solvent and could breakdown stuff already trapped in the fuel filter but even then if it is getting past the fuel filter why worry as it must be alright to go through the injectors, etc. In theory anyway.

Are you already running a gap of 0.8mm on your spark plugs or 1.1mm, and how old are they, what type? (eg. copper)

Yes i can and i quite enjoy it! Just learning to use a computer, would you help teach me? The OP was originally talking about putting a windsor in her skyline Ti burnout car, hence my post a engine originally designed for NASCAR back in the sixties. There are lots of great engines out there soooo why stick to 1 brand and its the OP's money. AaronNM35.....Cool Starry Bra!

The Ford Single Overhead Cam (SOHC) 427 V8 engine, familiarly known as the "Cammer" With a single four-barrel carburetor they were rated at 616 horsepower (459 kW) at 7,000 rpm & 515 ft lbs of torque(698 Nm) @ 3,800 rpm, and while equipped with dual four-barrel carburetors they made 657 horsepower (490 kW) at 7,500 rpm & 575 ft/lbs of torque(775 Nm) @ 4,200 rpm http://www.allford.net.au/427%20Robert%20Pond%20Alloy%20Race%20Blocks%20-%20For%20Sale.htm

From what i understand the ecu relies on the signal from the AFM to know how much fuel to chuck in the cylinders(for air/fuel ratios). So in answer to your question i would expect it to stall.

Needs to be tuned and likely bigger injectors, as a short answer. It will also require a couple of new fuel filters replaced periodically as the crap is cleaned out of the tank + fuel lines.
