Dan's daily.

by **Malakai** » February 16th, 2008, 7:55 pm

Nice, how much lower does it need to go in the back?

by **Dansedgli** » February 16th, 2008, 10:03 pm

2 inches would be good. I dont think Ill bother unless I get decent rims on it though. It handles nicely now and doesnt look too low.

The trans started being extra gay today

Its booked in to get looked at next monday. The engine and trans will come out after the trans is diagnosed.

by **Dansedgli** » February 19th, 2008, 12:13 pm

Not doing ^^^ anymore.

The engine and trans are half out now. Im getting a replacement trans and convertor from John tomorrow. Im hoping to have the leaks sorted and the good trans all back in before the end of this weekend.

Once that is done and the car is in my name I think Ill book it in for a gas conversion. If Im going to make it a daily and not mod it I may as well do it properly.

by **private9** » February 19th, 2008, 8:57 pm

If the pacies you bought are the 4480's (comps), from what most gas places have told me they get in the way of the convertor. 4499's will clear though 100%.

Also, once you get gas, you may not need to drop it further - from memory my last EF dropped about an inch in the rear once it was converted.

by **Dansedgli** » February 19th, 2008, 9:00 pm

Ah cool. Thanks for the heads up.

Ive got the comps I think. Gas can wait. I dont do many K's in it. I reckon I'd only need to fill it up once a month normally anyways.

by **Damo** » February 19th, 2008, 9:02 pm

they look like 4499's or whatever the other ones are. Pacey comps are weirdo noodle shapes.

P.S when is the turbo conversion happening. lolz hahahah :lol:

haha should turbo it Dan. :lol:

by **Damo** » February 19th, 2008, 9:03 pm

turbz it

by **private9** » February 19th, 2008, 9:03 pm

Yeah, they do look like the 4499's I've got.

by **Dansedgli** » February 19th, 2008, 9:07 pm

I was lied to and deceived then

They were only $150 so thats cool.

No turbo.

Still a good price mate! Plus, if you go to FTG Auto Salvage, they'll give you $40 for your old cat in any condition.

by **Dansedgli** » February 22nd, 2008, 12:32 pm

I got my new auto from John - EFfalcon last night. I should have the non leaky engine and new trans back in by next weekend if I get around to it.

To keep with the non turbo theme this is in the mail on its way to my house

The plan is to try and run a 13 for cheap.

So far Ive spent:

$50 on a catback exaust
$150 on pacemakers and a cat.
$775 on a nitrous kit
$150 on a purge valve kit.

The total so far is $1125.

13's are soo last year but Ive always wanted to try nitrous so it should be fun. If something breaks wgaf, the car was $1000.

by **EFFalcon** » February 22nd, 2008, 12:43 pm

nitrous would be fun!
motors are cheap... just don't give up if it breaks

$300 motors rock.

by **Steady** » February 22nd, 2008, 12:54 pm

Giggle gas looks fun.

by **Sunboost** » February 22nd, 2008, 1:39 pm

I reckon I could make a purge valve thing for LPG.

by **BI6TIM** » February 22nd, 2008, 2:05 pm

With some coloured dies mixed in?

by **spope** » February 22nd, 2008, 2:35 pm

Just gotta watch those welds on the intake.

Umm.. what is a purge valve for? I know SFA about NOS.

by **Dansedgli** » February 22nd, 2008, 2:39 pm

It looks sik.

It clears the air out of the nitrous line so only liquid nitrous enters the intake.

i think u mean to say, it clears the nitrous oxide gas from the lines cause it heats up, and as you said its only the liquid that goes into the intake

yeah?

by **Kaddis** » February 25th, 2008, 6:27 pm

Anyone using Cry02?

My brother is running that on the xr6t...also gives out a nice purge out the xr vents looks mint!

That makes sense. Muchos gracias.

Have you fitted the new auto?

by **Dansedgli** » February 25th, 2008, 8:07 pm

Nah not yet. The motor and box came out yesterday.

When I get around to it Ill change the sump gasket and put the motor and new box back in.

Got a letter in the mail today saying that my nitrous kit couldnt be delivered. It will be delivered tomorrow.

by **smokin ef** » February 26th, 2008, 2:18 pm

nitrous kit looks like fun!!! i mite invest in one lol

by **Dansedgli** » February 26th, 2008, 2:23 pm

by **Sunboost** » February 26th, 2008, 2:23 pm

It aint no investment.

by **Dansedgli** » February 26th, 2008, 5:49 pm

by **old_mate** » February 27th, 2008, 8:54 pm

2 weeks till it blows up OR 1 day at the strip (whichever comes first)

should be fun but

by **Dansedgli** » February 28th, 2008, 6:18 am

Thats not a very positive outlook on things. I bet it lasts at least twice as long as that.

by **old_mate** » February 28th, 2008, 6:04 pm

so 4 weeks or 2 strip days

place your bets

by **oneredED** » February 29th, 2008, 10:03 am

I know next to nothing about about NAWZ, but is that a wet or dry kit?

by **Dansedgli** » February 29th, 2008, 10:17 am

Its a wet kit.

by **oneredED** » February 29th, 2008, 10:19 am

Dansedgli wrote:Its a wet kit.

Oh very nice

I give it 8 weeks then

by **Dansedgli** » February 29th, 2008, 10:55 am

She'll be right. New motors are cheap.

Might even chuck a 5.0 in if the motor dies.

Come on Dan what about a 5.4L quad cam.

by **Dansedgli** » February 29th, 2008, 11:28 am

Nahh, Im keeping things simple these days.

If I was going to do a tricky conversion I'd put a 2JZ in it.

by **Commando** » February 29th, 2008, 12:13 pm

If you were going for a V8 conversion, how about a 351w?

by **Dansedgli** » February 29th, 2008, 12:18 pm

Because Im keeping things simple?

by **Commando** » February 29th, 2008, 12:46 pm

What I meant was, if a 5.0 conversion is in your "keeping things simple" list, the 351w doesn't need much more effort IIRC? Apart from mucking around with the pulley setup at the front, and being a bit more limited in choice of extractors. EEC-IV and all ancillaries are basically plug -n- play, same goes with hooking up to a 5.0 T5 or BTR?

by **BI6TIM** » February 29th, 2008, 12:51 pm

Wet kits are far easier to set up safely!

I know a guy who has a 100hp wet system on his company van (new hiace), stock motor. He aslo had a detroit locker and line locker in it.
That thing used to do the MADEST skids ever. It was so crazy seeing a hiace van doing HUGE smoke shows.

The point is that he wasn't particularly worried about the safety of that van yet it never blew up and he sold it with the balance of the factory warrenty and hasn't heard of any trouble with it since.

by **Dansedgli** » February 29th, 2008, 12:53 pm

Nahh, that would require engineering to be legal and would cost more than I want to spend.

If I wanted performance I'd turbo it or put a 2j in and turbo that.

V8 is for daily drivering and towing and sounding tuff and only if Sundeep wrecks a V8 and gives me cheap parts.

Realistically Im not going to do anything to the EF after the nitrous is in apart from driving it around.

The maverick needs lockery goodness.

by **Steady** » February 29th, 2008, 12:58 pm

Keep upping the jet size on the 4L till it dies.
Install 5L, repeat.
Whichever one takes the most guess gets to be crowned better then the other one.

5L will win because you can retard the timing

Should of got an EL Dan.
