Wow, those look nice John! I am interested to see how those work out.

That does help some, still trying to figure out how the idler contributes to the compressor position, Think I will study mine tonight.

John, This is really got me worried, I have a 2uz block and a 1uz pump, I have not tried my compressor yet, its still hooked to the car, I managedto leave it in the bay hooked up when I pulled my motor so I didnt lose my refrigerant

I just spray starter fluid around the suspect areas when the engine is running, even a small injector leak will make the engine speed up when the starter fluid hits it.

John, I will try and put some stuff together this weekend.

John, I am using a factory 97 Sc400 harness. Mitch got me the pin outs and changes. I needed to add a few wires to it but the process was fairly easy. In a couple instances I actully used wires in the harness that we no longer used. I will look up some of what Mitch sent me if it will help. Keep...

The hat for the rotor is aluminum. Since the hat and spacer are tight tolerance holes and the steel rotor is slotted for expansion, I figure it was better to keep the spacer aluminum so it would in theory expand with the hat. Steel would have been easier, I would have had it cut at work on our...

LOL, Brakes took me a lot longer than I thought, I just had to have them. Cams are coming out today, I will be sending them over to add the pins, Also setting up to measure the Compression ratio. I am going to see if I can find me a leakdown tester for sale around here, Hopfully the auto parts...

Thanks david! Thanks John, you are right, it seems you and I dont typically take the easy road on our cars, end results seem a lot more fun!

Yep, I have to do this, guess its better to know now than later (maybe better to not know LOL) Between all the delays and my lack of time in the shop I am starting to wonder if I will ever get my car done. On a positive note I did solve my big brake fit problem John, I know, I went off the...

Last is wheel test fit, Yippee! They fit and have almost .050” clearance, I know, wheels are dirty. Last how about my 17” Bogart drag wheels, yes I said 17” wheels on 14” brakes. Tons of room! I must admit this was a ton of work but I have achieved what I set out to do. I now have 14”...

Assembly time!

Next you have to machine a precision spacer, Exact thickness we moved the ears and precision drill it to match the rotor. This piece is a PITA! It must be precision. Took me several hours to whittle 2 of these out of a huge round of aluminum I bought of eBay. Now, remember the drive pins...

Next up is the rotors, you have to move the braking surface back the same amount the ears moved. Since most aftermarket brakes are two piece floating rotors this can be done. First take the rotor apart by removing all the allen bolts on the back side. Here is what the parts look like as well as...

Once they are welded you can cut away the front ear and finish welding them solid, Add paint and wala! New ears to recess the caliper.

OK, so here is the dilemma. I have the awesome 14” Stoptech Brake set up and it won’t clear my rear wheels. I am really not at all interested in buying a new set of wheels with smaller lips and I can’t stand stretched tires with spacers. Pulling the fenders really is not for me either so what to...
