I am going to wrap the header. |
ok heres a update of what i am doing. I rewired the ignition and the car sounded great until it stumbled real bad. so i checked all the wiring I had done and all was ok, so i thought why not change the igniter. I had a spare sitting there so i swapped it out. guess what? The car no longer stumbled lol. One of the igniters went bad right after i changed the wiring. oh and yes here is a before and after.[attachment=40430:attachment] [attachment=40431:attachment]

Can i put a cas (crank angle sensor) from a 13b in my 12a and use the coils from a 2nd gen to use as ignition? I am curious because i want to minimize everything in the engine bay and get the wiring to a minimium. thanks in advance

heres a small video to tell you all what she sounds like. follow the link

Do a search in this forum.Its been talked about alot on how to fix the coolers when they crack around the fittings.I went and bought Hayden heavy duty coolers for both my toys. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.gif

I put the 12 inch in the car and am driving it with a blaupunkt four way amp. I was worried about the drain on the amp and battery but when i took her out for a drive it seemed alright the lights did dim a bit but not anymore then it had before... oh of course pics of how i did it.

Oh yea, I am putting in weber mid feb. (tax refund) Rob Golden is helping me with that. The weber getting a egt system and new springs and shocks with stainless brake lines powerslot rotors new calipers (non wedge). Have a good one guys and gals |
hey everyone,
Sorry for not posting in a long time but i haven't had anything to say about the car. everything is alright execpt for some little things that the weber is going to fix. But now there is a new problem... the oil neck is rusting pretty bad, what do I do? Can I repace it(the neck) with a n aluminum one? Do i use a nipple off the intake manifold to vent the oil pan? also what do you all theink about using a microtech mt-4 for a fuel computer and putting a weber ida throttle body on instead of a weber the cost total for the weber w/o manifold(i already have it) is about 1000.00 with all the parts i need( fuel pump, egt system, weber carb, fuel regulator, and air filtering system) where the fuel system will cost about 600 for ecu and wiring harness 400.00 for throttle body, 100 for the fuel pump, 300 for injectors... One more thing, lol, I NEED a GSL-SE suspension (rearend and associated front end) so I can do newer wheels and tires( my wheels are bent and at 80 mph i get a wiggle going on, not good at those speeds) where can i get it? anyone have a spare they do not want? oh yea i am here in the NW. thanks |

If you want a great carb set up go with a racing beat intake and a 500cfm edelbrock thunder series carb.

I think I have offically reached this motors non-extented port limits, do you all agree? Or am I missing something? |
[attachment=40951:attachment] [attachment=40952:attachment]
Drum roll please!! Thats right the carb is here!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/BURNOUT.gif https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/BURNOUT.gif I have been waiting for this for so long. she has 38 mm ventries and is pre tuned so that i can fine tune it on my own. I also got the egt kit from pineapple(gauge is in the pic). And the alternator relocation kit is on its way. This is a great day, I am coming to the end of the "rebirth of my 78." When the engine is done i can offically say I am at the point to where I can start to have fun driving instead of having fun "fixing." This means that I will be going for track days and auto x... ah good times, goooood times |
Congrats.That carb looks hot.I still like my DCOE but I always liked the looks of a downdraft setup on these motors.I need to order some smaller idle jets for Racetep.com one day so I can lean out the idle on mine.Let us know how she runs when its put back together.Nice to see another rotory getting some much needed attention.

here the next set of pictures of the car... I am so STOKED for this. The car starts right up and runs really well. I can tell she is going to scream....[attachment=41040:attachment] [attachment=41041:attachment] [attachment=41042:attachment] [attachment=41043:attachment]

[attachment=41338:attachment] [attachment=41339:attachment] [attachment=41340:attachment] [attachment=41341:attachment] Here is the update I am sure everyone who has been paying attention to this thread has been waiting for. I got the 2ng gen alt. in and am still waiting on the relocation bracket. As for the dldfis, I got sick of it and it blowing up my igniters (didn't read about that happening) so i went back to the electronic dizzy.... Soon I will have the ida 48mm tuned and the new fuel pump in and beware hondas hahahahaha
|
So how is she running now? Any video's of it running!

figured i would use a t fitting for the return line. As for the car running I found out the hard way that tuning this B**** is got to be done by someone who knows what the hell they are doing because I haven't a clue. Anyone got an idea how to tune this thing? Any help would be awesome.

Maybe I should have done FI because i speak computer i do not speak carb... |

https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683785.gif Anyone need a sig?Did you notice any difference when you added that "T" fitting on your fuel line?Mine I just capped off the return.Mine is also rich at idle tho. |
Any updates?

OH yea. I need a whole bunch of parts....lol Does anyone know where i can get a breather tank, a good fuel regulator (used is fine), and does anyone know where i can get some pipe bent for the cold air intake? I want to make the car nice under the hood as well as sell a cold air intake setup for the first gen with weber or nikki. cheers

Check ebay....where else? Keep us posted of your progress!

Alright a big update!! Yes I know I have not posted in a while and I am sorry for that (finals etc.) but here it goes... The fuel pump wasn't doing it for the weber. It got so bad that anything above 5k was useless or impossible so i finally got the mallory in and that fixed that. Next was the temp gauge. It kept telling me that I had over heated the motor. OH SHI*, but no I hadn'. The grounding system I biult was insufficent and was backing up electrons the the block through the gauge. So i rebuilt the gauges and inspected the wiring. so I fixed that too. Gauges work, car doesn't overheat, and i got the relocation bracket on and removed the stupid gilmer drive.

Now as my spring break winds down I get ready to take the car to Rob for the tuning, yahoo!! I will post again soon so for now cheers. P.S.- my horrible welding skills lol |
alright I m going to revive this dead topic. I haven't written on my baby for some time due to "life" ie college. Alright here we go!! I have pretty much maxed out the motor withou porting as you all know. At best I am making 170 hp and 150 lb/torque at the flywheel. I can live with that, what is killing me though is my suspension. I have all stock suspension from when the car was built!! talk about scary, this thing is just bad. Therefore the second journey of my 7's rebirth has begun!! here is the laundry list:
RE-Speed: springs shocks and struts coilover conversion stainless lines big brake upgrade (front and rear) rear lsd w/ mosier axels rack and pinon conversion (yes I know I do not know how to spell pinon, but you get the point) wheels and tires beware hondas your doom is approching. AHAHAHAHAAHAHAHA (evil laugh) |
He lives!
