actually - something else I just thought of: heaps of hoses hanging out of th front of the motor have not been blocked off yet - could any of these have been oil... find out tonight I guess! thanx for all the info abouve guys. will check it all tonight... but was really hoping to not have to...

Ive wired up both a gauge and an emergency light - both say zero. To test this I disconnected the oil pressure line going to the gauge... no oil came out! so its def not pumping oil.

hey all, we went to fire the racecar for the first time on the weekend, and aside from a few wiring issues we couldnt actually start the engine as winding it over we had zero oil pressure. I'll be pulling the engine out tonight and pullng the sump to make sure that Ive not done anything...

tranny fluid. *snigger*

I wired it up on the weekend using femal blades - will still need plug, but not that urgent. Worse is that I couldnt pick up an RPM signal! arghh!!!!

anyone got one comparable?

LMFAO!!!! Thats hilarious!!!!!!!!!!

Hey all, I accidently tossed out the black round plug that goes into the back of the alt (the one that carries Ig, L, S). The guy I own the car with is about ready to provide me with death by gúnjy. We're going to be firing the car on the weekend with temp plugs but will need the proper...

My understanding is that generally a softcut is a fuel cut to certain cylinders, hard cut is a ignition cut. IE, with the EMS we use, the soft cut cut cuts fuel every alternate cycle to 1&4 (batched) injectors and every other to 2&3. We had that kicking in (on a 4age) at 7500, hard cut...

Ive just wired an EMS DualSport into the racecar and set 2 of the aux's for thermofan. Engine hasnt been fired yet, so am curious to see if this sounds ok? No 1: On at >89 (90), Off at <86 (85) No 2: On at >94, Off at <86 sound OK?

yeah - a good point... I spent the weekend wiring up the last bits and peices, starter being one of them.... it was pain in the proverbial!

thanx mate. appreciate it.

Yeah, youve gotta hate facing up to practicality and the realms of the possible!!! To get equal distance we had to run ours pipes outside of the chassis... not an option in your car!

Pro: light, decent hp, decent tq. I like them. CON!!!!! STARTER MOTOR POSITION!!!! VALLEY DRAINS TO BELLHOUSING!!!! ARGGGGH!!!!!! What was Mr Okimura thinking!!!

Serpentine belt diag I got from tech articles. Cheers lex! Still curious as to whether my assumption on hoses is right though...

intrusting - why the step up in the primaries?

nice mate! looks the money - hopefully it works as good as it looks! What are the final specs you went with?

Hey all, Just checking the direction of flow of water before I plumb up the racecar so as not to get any nasty surprises later. Please correct me if Im wrong, or verify that Im right! From engine, out of the alloy straight outlet to top of radiator. From bottom of radiator to black plastic...
