Cool. Air bleeds are expensive.

Welcome to sunny-california! :D My buddies and I would really like to meet you and take a look at your subframe swapped FB one of these days. Are you coming down to Sevenstock this year?

I may if my school schedule doesn't interfere. And if this heap is up and about by then.

Looking good. :)

some updates and pictures.

the car cranks now. had issues with a ground causing slow cranking which has been resolved. the engine ground was just poor. moved it and added a second one.

Waiting for some 1/8" BSPT plugs to get here to close off the unused oil pressure port so i can continue trying to start the car. Using a Racing Beat sandwich adapter currently.

Wire is a fiero fan and is wired up to a relay for use with either a switch, or once I get another temp switch for the radiator, it can also be on via thermo switch. Since its a 3/8-18 thread sensor, im hoping something else used that so i can find other temp options.

But yea. seat still needs mounted and all that crap. still have no exhaust on it and I need to get my hands on a different 13b header. I think i have an FC one on there now and it sits far too low for my liking.

Ah yeah I was wondering about that... how the header sits on an fb with an fc subframe swap... I also want a new exhaust on mine but I wanna make it all custom. I can't stand how pathetic and quiet the stock exhaust is... Got access to a welder now, so I need to get some piping and get to work. Not sure if I'd wanna make my own header though... kinda hard to do much better then a racing beat header... except maybe using bigger runners so it doesn't make such a sharp turn off the irons?

I guess you didn't make it down to sevenstock 16? It was sooo awesome! Worth every bit of the 10 hour drive.

yea that is way too far to push the car. ha

horrah its running. now i need a damned exhaust.

Horrah! Bring it by if you swing through the east bay sometime.

GSL-SE header is on. Improved the clearance over the FC header i was using. Which very well COULD be just a different model of the same header i did have. The old one was Racing Beat too, but longer, and a little different bends, but seemingly better build quality. Huh.

Also, the 48 IDA is sitting on my desk awaiting the various jets and venturi to arrive so i can get it onto the car. the stock EFI is just being too picky and I got this carb with my rally car so fook it. Why not use it.

carb is jetted and whatnot.

40mm venturi
195 air and fuel jet
F4 emulsion tube

also for various reasons, going manual brakes. 3/4 front 7/8 rear

Nice nice nice... I've never felt manual brakes I'm very curious

little more from today. starting to muck about with the brake pedal and whatnot for the wilwood masters too. Brake pedal is modified. Moved the attachment up some to get about a 6.5 pedal ratio versus the 4.77 factory. Need to do a little more welding and drilling to finish that off.

anyone ever seen a 7 with this pedal assembly?

Learning so much piece by piece. i now know a tad about my suspension an now have to check my oil pick up. i think something might be loose other than a bad front o ring. Even with a carb thats 90% screwed she will smoke the tires though so i doubt anything more major than the seals. i will see next weekend ater i rebuild the carb. an is a mt 25 850 cca battery what the 83's call for?

I think i have modified the oem pedal assembly enough to work! Pedal ratio is 6.5 ish (rounded). The lower attachment point has a nut welded to the back since you can actually get a bolt through, the bolt will be bolt from inside the car going out with a nut outside since you can't get the bolt passed the reservoir inlet. I need to prime and paint the assembly and then work on the firewall stuff.

never really payed attention to what model battery. i just get something between 800 and 1000 CCA with a terminal arrangement i like and go with it. :001_005:

Thanks. an after a block heater an new battery she wont start. the littlest fuel floods it i think the carb went out or the coils but im getting spark. *sighs* the car is streining my relation ship with my fiance due to our distance and it not running being our only car. im pissed an about to burn it into the farking ground

dual master brakes! assembling tomorrow

Nice! Is it gonna be mounted and functional soon? I want to hear your impressions of force required and feel vs. the stock setup w/ vacume assist. If it really is an improvement, I may want to duplicate this setup in my own FB.

woot!

Looks good!

thanks Eric!

You need a reliable daily beater if you are in a relationship :boxing_smiley:

Good looking set up and welcome to Calli, The land of chem trails . I live about an hour south of you and know some good and reliable rotor heads . The project looks to be moving along nicely

Hopefully I will catch up with you at one of the meets then.

its a Christmas miracle!

lol
 

i sounds about as beedy as my stainles steel exaust with a apex racing muffler off a nissan. anyhow i got my fingers crossed that mine fires up tomorrow, i made a post on its problems of melted intake manifold gaskets

Have you had a chance to test the brakes yet? Curious to know how they feel. I was considering taking out my power booster and would like to know how your brake solution performs.

i bled them yesterday. Need to fiddle with the balance a bit and I will certainly let you know! Driveshaft is getting rebuilt this week so waiting on that.

still waiting on said driveshaft... i finished some whatnot here and there with gauges too.

Hmm... well i drove the FB for the first time.

Seem to be getting occasional ignition break up that is showing up on the tach. Only during accel, not during idle. Mostly with loading, not really while sitting. Tach is pulling from trailing coil.

I have an MSD box for the leading ignition.

Any thoughts on wtf?

Weak coil?

perhaps, ill try another coil

Cold Weber?

no its making the tach jumpy

maybe the pick-up is failing in the dizzy they move a little and the wire may be broken inside.

Take the tach signal from the msd if you can and see if it works fine.

Is it just the tach or do you feel it actually missing?

Im going to try the tach off the MSD as well. I yea, I actually feel it missing. Stumbling quite badly when it occurs.
