PHASE 5

Hi all getting car ready for club rego and 3 thing need fixing leak in pwr steering(leaking hose),washer bottle (loose wire)not working and fan switch only works on high? any ideas on fan switch ?????

Contact Joe also  known as Bullfrog (go to members page) he makes them .

tested up fine change the sender unit twice first time the gauge would just move to the high side and not move the second one the gauge goes half way  so i gathered it's the dash gauge that needs to be changed.

all i did with mine was rub with 400 clean and spray with a glossy acrylic its been standing in the weather for 8 mths and still looks good

Just my opinion, but why fix something that aint broken?

Id leave it as is. You have described a great working motor and that's what we all want and for the sake of 1 or 2 HP you want to change it?

Totally up to you mate but id keep it as is. Your mechanic knows how to tune it and can get you 600K's per tank. Nah don't mod it just love it the way it is.

 

Oh tell us about the green laser, Palmer tube mills.

Hi Thanks for the reply if all I'm going to get is 1 or 2 then no i won't change it.

The green beast is  my old hyundai work car and i didn't need it anymore so why not have some fun so i stripped her out and painted it for last years outlaw class at the all ford forums drag day at heathcote drags and did the standing 1/4 in 18.9 sec (WHOOOO) and took it to last years fun day at winton and had a ball. a must do bucket list thing.

  Hyundai at drags listern to the beast roar.

  fun day at winton

lol yeah it was a whole lot of fun i lived 11k from my old job 22k return everyday,by the time thursday morning came round id  fill her up ,ride the bike on friday ,dont start the ea on the weekend at all,lol 4 days out of one tank was a laugh ,mywife hated the thing,lol

You must of had a bad setup you can tune them to the point of when and how the rear buckets pour the juice in  it's a case of finding a person that knows them well it sounds like yours was just using all 4 all the time. after it's last tune i drove from rosebud to beechworth 380 klm on half a tank using 98 oct and car was tuned for it.your beast sounds a bit hotter than mine but 95-100 wow thats poor.

it recirculates,hot exhaust gases to help warm the fuel to stop flat spotting when motor is cold,so im lead to beleive,lol ditch the thermoquad by losing this carby and fitting a new modern holley you might get 9l to the 100k

I use to own a xc cobra back in the day (243) and change from the thermo to a holley vac sec and the only dif was the amount of fuel the holley used with no performance increase the thermo i have was recode about 10,000 k ago and runs like a dream as i have a machanic who loves them and can tune them well i can get 600 k out of a tank highway i was thinking of changing the manifold to just get a bit better responce without the cost of extra fuel buy changing to a holley with no performace change .

thanks for the responce. Adrian

what is an erg? im looking at fitting a new manifold wieland or edeldrock and keeping the thermoquad and some say no erg?any help please

Gave the girl a bit of a sqirt up a hill and noticed i lost my oil pressure normally it would cruise at 3/4 but now just above red can anyone give me a guide of what to check off to see what has happened ? I check yesterday the oil level and all was ok will need to check tomorrow when there is light and it's cooled down.
