N13 Pulsar twin core aluminum radiator will adapt to L series mounts, just need to slightly bend the lip at the top of the support panel to get it to sit forwards.
Hose sizes match EJ.
Twin fans will fit behind, just. Never had then hit, but they sit close.

Electric water pump is the ideal problem solver, a lot of mucking around to set up properly, then you have to comprehend cavitataion and how it effects the efficiency of your cooling system. There are so many aluminum L series radiators available these days, they generally fix the hot under load pro...

On mine, the EJ sender showed lower on the L gauge. Mine got warm sometimes when worked, fitting covers underneath between the front sill and the cross-member fixed it. Apparently it has something to do with controlling where the air flows and maximises the flow through the radiator. Like the plasti...

80% maybe, not 95% :) Mostly noticed by frustrated drivers stuck in traffic with nothing else they can do. Why do they get bowled over ? usually from vehicles not following the road rules, the riders don't injure themselves on purpose. Mind you, Vic changes the road rules often, many people do not k...

Dont rush them, the rule makers in Vic have just made a law that should have done when traffic was invented; "From 2 November 2015 new laws will mean motorcycles and scooters can filter on Victoria’s roads, where safe to do so. Lane filtering is when a rider moves at low speed between slow-moving or...

A bolt, nut and a couple of spanners has let me use these for years.
Great short cut, but not good for heavy sideways load, especially if it vibrates.

Bushies method; If the compressor is turning on, have a look in the rec/dryer/filter glass window. Do you have two pressure switches or only one? What can happen is some gas has leaked out, again, (re-gassing will not fix the original leak). If you have one pressure switch it is a high pressure swit...

Provided the number of teeth on the crown wheel are the same (count them through the drain hole) and the casings are the same, the box should work ok. The only other variables are the ratios of each gear. If they are out of the same vehicle, they is a pretty good chance they can be swapped. The numb...

Air conditioner systems have a basic principle as a heat ex-changer, this is controlled/limited by pressure and temp switches. The more flow you have through the radiator/condenser the more efficient the system will be, as this is the side that does the hard work. Provided your compressor and gas ar...

Yep, when playing with different casings/gears, that little plate with the detent holes often has to be re-drilled/extended. Another common way to pop those tabs out is when the input shaft slips forward and the shafts are pushed back together, during assembly, can cause that. Got an oil feed for th...

Some lift kits are borderline with the front camber settings, if everything is straight, the rest should be no problems.

Careful with those tools, I have tried a few of them, on loan, and they do not always give accurate readings. They will show readings that the ECU is not capable of handling, this adds to the confusion. Unfortunately, the expensive ones are more accurate. As long as you can understand the output fro...

Last I saw, they were considerably more than a wrecker price.
Not that you would try and fly an EA82 powered Subaru, although there have been some relatively close calls

I usually leave the outside facing seal in, remove the inside facing seal and pack grease into the bearing. All the dirt/moisture comes from the outside, the bearing seal acts as a secondary seal, although most of the time they are not water rated seals. And yes, good quality bearings with good seal...

You could just solder the cable to the spades, then cover with heatshrink. Crimp connectors, unless done carefully with the right tool for the connector can be unreliable. I solder then heat shrink. If soldered correctly they are reliable. Poorly soldered causes other problems. Its always been a deb...

Don't forget the basics, your earth return has to equal your +ve.
Don't forget the chassis/gearbox/body earths.
If you are going to run something high current, like a big amp, run its power cables direct to the battery, with a suitable breaker.

Just have to be careful with the always on circuit.
Why the relay? (race car kill switch )
It will always draw power = potential flat bat.
Always on should only be a minor current (ma), a small fuse from before the ACC relay or similar would do.

Like Doug mentioned, separate circuits for the main feeds.
1 breaker/relay for ACC, 1 breaker/relay for IGN.
A distribution block after each relay.
Neat and simple.
That's the way I've been doing it.

Good to see the economy still exists.
That's the key to a good tune.

According to the weber book, yea, you'll get it soon.
A 38 on your motor would work well @6500 rpm.
The 32 peaks @ 5300 rpm, bit more sensible.

When you look at cables, the rating of the cable is current vs voltage drop over length. Theoretically heat wont be involved as your cable ratings will exceed your requirements. To do it by the book you need to know how much current is drawn by that device, vs how much voltage it needs to operate co...
