Hi Crew - Help needed!

I need a Ford Laser Ghia towed from Condor to Integra. Hopefully today but tomorrow is ok.

It's going to be my shitter (daily driver) hopefully! It's RED so should go almost as fast as the GTR.

If anyone has contacts let me know or mayhaps I just have to try the yellow pages. Trying to move it on the cheap tho.

Post if your able to help me please. I'll check back in a cuppla hours.

Thanky

Thanks Long for your really kind offer via PM. I have the beast at home now and all is good.

Actually got it started and drove home - YAY!. She boiled when I parked it in the Garage but prolly just thermostat or Radiator cap. I'll have a better look 2moro.

Has a knock in the front RH side on cornering CV, Ball, Uni joint who knows but I'm certain it's not major.

Not in bad nick at all. :)

Nothing wrong with a mungrel car, part nissan -part olden'. Which part do you think makes your ride go faster?

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
