my advice. don't worry about the coils or ign amplifier unless you need them. once the car is being tuned it will be obvious if you are having any ignition problems.

as for the balancer, ideally you would have had the whole assembley balanced together (completel with balancer and flywheel). if your current engine was built and balanced with the standard balancer then just use that. but I would say keep revs under 8,000. you should be able to make plenty of power even with an 8,000 limit and your engine will live a long time.

and yes, the HKS R33 drag car used standard coils. the veilside R32 GTR drag car also used standard coils. the reason people switch to splitfires is that their standard coils eventually fail when they get old, and replacing them with new nissan ones is 3 times the price of splitfires.

oh, and personally I wouldn't put the XS mani and especially the XS gate anywhere near an engine like that. use the mani if you have to, but buy a better gate. I've seen guys with cheap gates have all sorts of problems.

Hmmm I bought the gate and the manifold.. the manifold I will improve its stength with brackets.... the gate if it makes me any problem I will through at recycle bin :O

Do you know the problems of xs gates? I read many bad comments... and many good comments.... some people say that they doesn't work and some people that they work fine.... we will see :D

buying a mani and then having to strengthen and modify it duznt tell you something??? One workshop told me the very same mani destroying a new turbo. A piece of weld broke off from inside and got sucked up through the turbo.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      I see what you mean on that last paragraph and makes sense. I am leaning towards because I made the repair/filler area large that I didn't use a long enough block. Will minimise the area and let you's know how I go. This is random but I noticed when I put epoxy primer it felt flat but that's just temporary.

      Tried to repair with filler only. The block is a foam block but quite hard and I put a velcro on it for sandpaper, the hook and loop system. It's not one of those super soft ones that just follow the panel. Similar to a dura block.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      You need one of those automated sprays that puffs a nice small every 15 minutes in their room. Except swap the nice smell for chloroform...

      Vag Coil Diy loom wire guage selection

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Don't step down power supply size, maintain it the whole way. It's how I'd do it. OR, Id have one feed, with one joint that splits out to six smaller gauge wires that go to each coil. I wouldn't add joins like stepping from 12 to 16, at the first two coils, as if you try to continue that fashion, each joint will introduce a voltage drop. In theory, earths should be the same size as power feeds, however in this case the main power needs to be bigger due to the average size current. So the next question is, how much current do these coils actually need?

      I think Murray is onto it. It's sounding like either it's a soft block, not long enough block, OR if you're chasing waves, you're going in the direction of the waves, instead of across them. Rotate your sanding pattern by 45 degrees is something to try. You said you're going in an X, so now instead, from the same perspective, do a "t" instead.   If you're not able to have the block sit on top of two high points, and not touch the low point between them, you'll never get it flat.
