dandan Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 That's a good point - forgot they ran dizzy. The advance curve will still be kicked out by a map in the ecu though, there's no way that distributor will have bob weights and springs - it'll purely be there to act as the pick up for timing and then to distribute the correctly timed spark. It'd be nice to think the EManage could intercept the signal out of the ecu to the ignition module and alter it. (I know full well that a Megasquirt of Megasquirt II ecu can do this just as an aside, and that costs peanuts). I'd be a little disappointed if the EMU can't control ign timing on an NA.

Daston Posted August 17, 2006 Author Share Posted August 17, 2006 is the emanage the only fuel control you are runny Bromy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bromy Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 Yep, why do you think I would need anything else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucifer Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 Stge II should be converted to DI anyway. If you are thinking about going stage II then Use an emanage ultimate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazzaGSi Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 Good luck with it Daston, full credit to you for going at it yourself Keep us informed and good luck, hope it goes smoothly for you. Gaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daston Posted August 18, 2006 Author Share Posted August 18, 2006 Right 1st cat is off but I had a little accident! Surly there must have been more than 2 bolts to hold it up! Also whats the best way of getting the 2 nuts off the O2 sensor as they are not a normal size too big for 8mm but too small for 9! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucifer Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 They are 8's just rusted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daston Posted August 18, 2006 Author Share Posted August 18, 2006 ah cheers just been scratching my head going "martin said it was 8 so must be 8!" lol, getting dark now and need a beer so will continue tomorow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theoretically the EMB and EMU can control dizzy based timing. I don't know of anyone who's tried it yet though. -Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 fair play to you mate for having a go yourself and outside by the looks of your pics. you can do mine when your finished Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daston Posted August 19, 2006 Author Share Posted August 19, 2006 Ah dont get me wrong I am just checking the fit of the turbo clearance Martin shall be doing the full install. I was going to do it myself but I would have still had to get it tuned and I also would have better peace of mine that a pro had installed it.

Daston Posted August 19, 2006 Author Share Posted August 19, 2006 Ok these to bolts are driving me nuts there is no way they are shifting with the tools I can get under there (adjustable spanner and socket wrench) Is there another way to get this O2 sensor off or can I drill out the bolts and set new ones in?

Daston Posted August 19, 2006 Author Share Posted August 19, 2006 Just had a thought (been doing a lot of this latly) Is that sensor really needed as the new down pipe will be bypassing the cat so there will no longer be a cat to monitor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b_have Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 Not needed, just cable tie out of the way or pull through into cabin and seal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daston Posted August 19, 2006 Author Share Posted August 19, 2006 Right that bugger is being cut off then. Just out of idle curiosity what did it do? Is it just a temp sensor for the cat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lebsteif Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 yes, its just a cat temp sensor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daston Posted August 19, 2006 Author Share Posted August 19, 2006 Got new Mani on However turbo is too big Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lebsteif Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 Did the turbo came with the kit or did you bought it seperatly from somewhere else? Also, have you drilled the oil return line? or are you going the drill free route? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daston Posted August 19, 2006 Author Share Posted August 19, 2006 The turbo is from the same company but is ment for the VVTI model DOH! I will have the oil return drilled out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bromy Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 Is there any way the manifold can be heated and manipulated in some way so it clears Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daston Posted August 19, 2006 Author Share Posted August 19, 2006 it could do as it's only a couple of cm out the main offender is the heat sheild on the distributor. However if the manifold is changed the downpipe will not fit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucifer Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 Maybe convert to Di? Not cheap though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazarus Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 I'm sure I read somewhere that someone else was having the same problem with tubbie to distributor clearance... Their solution was to "clock" the turbo mounting flange on the manifold, basically welding a fresh flange on top of the existing but at a slight angle to turn the tubbie intake away from the distributor, not by alot, just enough to get the clearance, 2 or 3 degrees probably. (I'm sure I read it on clubNA-T) I don't know how this would affect your other pipe work, Probably hooking up the exhaust would be the worst hurdle tho.

Lazarus Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 This thread on ClubNA-T has some info on manifold clocking... http://www.clubna-t.com/forums/showthread.php?t=108&highlight=manifold+clocking Editted to say the search I used on clubna-t was "manifold clocking" and it came up with about 5 threads.
