not to be mean or anything, but there is this thing called the internet. Now with this internet you can check out all kinds of information, alot of the stuff you want to know can be found on this internet, and all of it could probably be found on skylines australia. However to make things easier, cause you don't seem to wanna search for it yourself, there is this place on the internet called google, now it's kinda like a big ol search tower, cept it can find anything anywhere on the internet. So just type all them things you wanted to know into google, maybe even with a 'what is...' infrount and all shal be reveiled.

voodoo stuff if you ask me

thanks for the help dickhead but why do you think i came to the forum?

search results came up with 2000+ sites that dont answer what i ask.

If you weren't willing to help then why type what you typed in the first place.

If you didn't realise, the title of the thread = "a little help please..."

You were no help.

Cam gears: When the engine is a RB**DETT the D stands for double overhead cams. The gears are the Two cogs side by side. IF you wish to adjust timing you have to buy aftermakrket cam gears such as a HKS to change it by a couple of Degree's which could increase horsepower.

Conrods, sorry mate cant help ya there

Headers: Passing on to someone else lol

Injectors: Injectors are used to "inject Fuel". The lager the injectors (eg 750cc is big) The higher flow and less restictions. You will need aftermarket inhectors to make big power

Extractors: Sorry

Bleed Valve: A mechanical device that is used to boost a car. It is like a Boost controoler exept it is Mechanic and not Electronic.

And please dont be calling people dickheads.

Cheers

Conrod for short or Connection Rod.

They connect to the piston in the cylinder block at one end and connected to the crankshaft at the other end.

Goto http://auto.howstuffworks.com/engine4.htm and then look at the moving diagrams. :)

Extractor is an exhaust manifold. The turbo connect's on to this and the extractor goes onto the head (of the motor).

:D

Cam gears:

Provide the means of driving the cams from the timing belt or chain.

Conrod:

Connects the crank to the pistons

Headers/Extractors:

The exhaust manifold, the exhaust gases to flow away from the engine via this. Headers for a V6 pictures (one pipe per cylinder, 3 cylinders per side). Connects to the turbo in turbo charged vehicles.

Injectors:

The ECU/fuel management system pulse the injectors when they need to fire fuel into the combustion chamber. Fuel pressure is fairly constant behind the injectors so when they are pulsed open fuel is injected.

Bleed valve:

A boost control device used in turbo charged vehicles. You can use one to modify the intake manifold pressure required to activate the turbos wastegate. Manual bleed valves are quite primitive.

    • Have a look at that (shitty) pic I posted. You can see AN -4 braided line coming to a -4 to 1/8 BSPT adapter, into a 1/8 BSPT T piece. The Haltech pressure sender is screwed into the long arm of the sender and factory sender (pre your pic) into the T side. You can also see the cable tie holding the whole contraption in place. Is it better than mounting the sender direct to your engine fitting......yes because it removes that vibration as the engine revs out 50 times every lap and that factory sender is pretty big. Is it necessary for you......well I've got no idea, I just don't like something important failing twice so over-engineer it to the moon!
    • Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.
    • How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP
    • I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use
    • I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
