    Yeah, I couldn't get "before" out of the "but".Makes sense now :D

    rebuild oil leak

    Yup, I'm confused.The oil in the valve cover (I believe you mean outside the valve cover, probably in the spark plug wells) is normally from the valve cover gasket (the round rings that go around the spark plug wells). Or possibly a crack in the valve cover.Am I understanding this correct...

    420A NPR Piston rings

    Something sounds fishy. Generally you should have a larger gap in the upper and lower control rings. Though the expander ring normally can seem to be too big, I'd be suspicious because of the "no gap" oil rings.I haven't used NPR for these engines so my suggestion would be to fall back to the...

    Car sputters in traffic

    NordicSaab, check the application that he is asking about. I think he's got a 420a not a 4G63

    Yeah, do a wet test to check rings.I think Paul just mistyped on the valves comment ;)

    Sweet consistent times!Switch the fuels. That opinion is gleaned from some very fast Honda and Nissan guys I know. Both a couple of high end tuners (hint Phil, one of them begins with the letter M ;) ). That is not to denigrate the W/A (I believe in that too), but the fuel switch is much...

    Reliable parts websites..

    Modern (I used to use RRE a lot, but I think thye may have gotten out of 420a. You might check for Neon parts on there).But for what you are asking for, honestly, check E-bay (yeah, I said that ;)) You cna find set-ups of JE pistons and Eagle rods on there relatively inexpensive. Just be...

    custom duals

    Not trying to be a dork or argumentative, but you have an inline 4 cylinder. Unless you plan on doing some real fancy math and study, why go duals? For the looks?

    4 into 1 long tube header

    I would recommend using a crankscraper. You will gain from it. Keep in mind the higher rpm you go, the more friction you have out of the oil splash.As for an LTH, you are absolutley correct. Imo, its needed. And you are also correct that nobody makes them. I still have Peachy's and I had a...

    fastest stock block 420a

    14.2 NA would put you in second on the list beating Billy who ran a 14.6 (and then the car quickly disappeared). So congrats man! Super on the stock bottom end. Best I have done is 14.8's on stock bottom end, but I never gave it much of a nevermind.

    420a idle problem

    No no, you can't do that. You asked for help and guys gave you their time and input then you just say "solved'? OMGEven if you screwed something up at least give a conclusion for those that tried to help and those that will alter search.I mean someone may do the same thing you did.......

    Justin's correct. Best way to establish knock/phantom knock is reading the plugs. What's cool nowadays, is that there is plenty of info out there on the internutz to direct you."Back in the day" they used to use egt's to tune off of. I believe that afr's and dyno are all you need BUT you can...

    Lexan windows/Flex-a-lite molded windows

    MAYBE a little of "not what you're talking about" but if we're looking for 2G race applications (of which this thread is in), its simple enough to buy your own Lexan (I get mine for right around $100 a 4X8 of 3/16th. That's good for 2 windows) and cut and install yourself. The bends can be made...

    A look at Stock Rod weights

    Lol, Dale. I did the same thing with 420a rods one time. Its surprising the variances on one set of stock rods (we did up to 10 grams on a set). Keeping in mind that their expectations are that the engine will last 150 to 200k.And yet, as we do a "build", our tolerances are within the .5...

    420a 1/4 mile record is FAKED!

    Of the "bolt-on's", Screamin Deamon (sp?) Is the best to run.

    re wire mega squirt

    What extra wires?If you are going from 97 to 97 the wiring should be the same. Oh wait, are you talking about RS to GS? Yeah, that wiring will have no effect on the engine wiring.

    420A with Megasquirt: Can I use MSD 6AL?

    Well, I have no background/information of the MSD 6AL. But, yes it is basically a two coil set-up with one coil firing 1 and 3 and the other coil firing 2 and 4.But do I understand correctly that you want to put wasted spark on a wasted spark system? Or are you trying to somehow do...

    Agreed! Quick math puts you at roughly 33% increase in power! On just MS :thumb: (provided the reason for the funny numbers is not exponential).Like we've been saying, gotta love that MS.

    Sensor missing on exhaust side of block, can't figure out what it is

    Its just a noise suppressor for radio interference. No big deal if you don't have one. BUT I have seen that mounted in a few locations. So check your valve cover (driverside) to see if its mounted on that.

    Megasquirt

    Yeah, there are actually settings that they could put in differently or just original settings could be bad.I don't think there was any intent on your part to try and deceive the guys, but I'm believing they (the dyno guys) may have a calibration situation. So even posting up the dyno...

    C/V axles different?? answer fast need to but within a couple hours.

    All our 2G non turbo axles are interchangeable. The only difference is the ABS (which won't matter).Like Jayson said, I about guarantee the parts guy is looking at turbo vs non turbo.

    The 14b Drag Race Discussion Thread

    (I've been off the site for a little bit :rolleyes:):Excellent news!Great that the seat time is not going to waste. One nice thing about a slow track is that you have to concentrate more on what you are doing to squeeze times out. Helps to keep you focused.Imo, good progress.
  46. bullettdsm

    good injector size for my set up

    If you are going MS, put in something around 880's. The MS will be able to adjust the injectors and you will have nice reasonable duty cycle numbers. If you go 550's, you will be running much higher duty cycle numbers and they will leave you no room for growth.
