Re: Rev Heads beast * the begginings of a new era * yep. gen 2 head is just better and easier all round in this application
Re: Rev Heads beast * the begginings of a new era * Snap on the head idea, I'm swapping to gen2 crank/flywheel as well - just makes sense to me http://www.st162.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=101&t=6934&start=340 Where/how much for the springs & retainers? Been looking for a set What's the rating on the springs? I was thinking you'd mount them to the stock plenum, but then I forget you can install ITB's at any angle
Re: Rev Heads beast * the begginings of a new era * managed to find the springs for a steal. $165 shipped off ebay. never seen them below $200 so snapped em up quick shit. no idea on the spring rate, will post up the part number when i get a chance
Re: Rev Heads beast * the begginings of a new era * fitted my AFR guage. i bought it for tuning purposes when i was originally going to use an safc. but will still be very usefel once i have setup the quads and using a stand alone ecu. Just need to weld the bung in the exhaust so i can fit the wideband o2 sensor, atm thats just like a display mode thats showing that reading PS dont mind the whole in the door card, my tweeter is out atm as the backing broke and i still havent re-fitted it after fixing lol while i was under the dash wiring it in i thought i would FINALLY rip out some of the excess wiring from previous alarm installs and what not. heres SOME of what i reipped out there was actually alot more then that. Fitted some gt4 seats............sooooooooooo comfy. need to wire them up still tho. They are in excellent condition but unfortunatley they are blue and i dont have the funds to retrim them at this point so sadly they will get hidden by some seat covers my cv's have been getting extremely clnky as of late and considering im very keen to take it back to the drags i figured why fuck around so i bought all new drive shafts. also my vacuum block arrived. cheap ebay special but it'l do the job and it looks nice enough. . im going away this w/e so probs not many updates for another week or so
Re: Rev Heads beast * ITB's in the making* Nice, how much were the driveshafts, and where did you buy them?
Re: Rev Heads beast * ITB's in the making* Seats do look amazing and no doubt they are very comfortable as you've said. Makes driving long distances an pleasure.
Re: Rev Heads beast * ITB's in the making* bought them off ebay (was a lil dubious but they had nothing but good feedback and they look like they are all good). paid just over $200 shipped wich is fuck all really
Re: Rev Heads beast * ITB's in the making* swapped in the recoed gearbox i bought and fitted the new driveshafts. can honestly say it was a PIA doing it on my own, took me a fair while to get the new box on but hey its in. also deleted the charcoal canister while i was at it. bit of extra weight i was glad to get rid of. New box feels good, very tight (i love a tight box ) :naughty hehehe. should loosen up a lil bit, havent driven much with it yet. No more clunking from the old rooted shafts and NO CRUNCHING finally! honestly 2nd gear was probs gonna blow in my old box soon lol
Re: Rev Heads beast * ITB's in the making* S53 or S54? Wish I could say the same, looking for a ST202 box with dual syncros now and would like to re-con it before fitting. Shafts look like FE units? I prefer them but they don't like too much abuse. A/F meter working yet? Interested to see if the ECU is accurate
Re: Rev Heads beast * ITB's in the making* 53 ge box shafts apear to be just ad beefy as the ge ones i pulled out. unfortunately no, havent got the o2 sensor fitted yet. i have a feeling my a/f ratios will be shit. iv noticed its not quite as peppy as it used to be. hopings its just a nasty run of fuel
Re: Rev Heads beast * ITB's in the making* more prezzies in the mail fidanza adj cam gears and a walbro 255 fuel pump. the fuel pump may be seen as overkill but believe me there will be a demand for it in the future. do it once and do it right!
Re: Rev Heads beast * ITB's in the making* I think fuel pump would've needed changing sometime in the near future anyway. Like the pulleys too - added to my wish list KO Racing?
Re: Rev Heads beast * ITB's in the making* www.koracing.net yer probs right on the fuel pump, could give out at any time anyway lol
Re: Rev Heads beast * ITB's in the making* Fark dude - it's in USA! Fidanza is 1/2 price of HKS, interesting they have EGR blocking kits in stock too TVIS blanking plates & lots of other nice goodies http://www.koracing.net/products.php?folder=63
Re: Rev Heads beast * ITB's in the making* decided it was finally time to do something about the ugly tail lights, i have been intending to do this for years, and i finally did it lol. here ya go before: now: i dont think the pictures do it justice, i am absolutely wrapped with how they came out
Re: Rev Heads beast * ITB's in the making* Very tastefully done !!!! Just enough to be noticed, but not enough for a ticket !!!! :thumbsup:
