JohnK Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Does anyone going to pod have any det cans they could bring and let me borrow for a while on the day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan.G Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 i have a set but mapping alot at mo if u can pop up to oxford one night u can use them or just make a set not hard. Just industrial ear defenders with some 3/8 fittings tapped in then some fuel pipe connected to a 8mm copper tube which then screws to block. Done. Better than any other kit i have tried so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kranz Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 How long is the run of copper tube you use?? How much is rubber and from where? Back in my days of running performance testbeds we used bundy tube (thin wall steel tube) run all the way from the top of the block to into the control room, with a plastic cup from the vending machine to stich your ear into Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wez Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Anywhere on the head really, you will need to experiment with different copper tube lengths as well. I still have my set from when I made the thread in 2004 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan.G Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 The best place for them on any car is the intake side of the block. As det always happens on the intake side as the pressure spike moves away from the hotter side of the engine. Bet when you see any engine thats blown from det or pre det the piston, ring or block always goes on the intake side The head is alright but can be sometimes hard to hear properly due to injector ticking and valve train noises. There is a threaded hole on the block of the 2jzgte just underneith the oil cooler thats perfect HTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wez Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 I managed to feed it through near the corner by the plastic at the bottom of the windscreen, bonnet shuts fine with it. EDIT: All on the passenger side and then through the passenger window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
