Dual exhaust system. Effective as far as performance- who knows, but very effective as producing the most beautiful exhaust sound I've owned in a car.

Made my own ignition table based on some ms guys over at hybridz and basic parameters of the dizzy. Lots of perfecting to do. This would be much easier with FI

I believe the Megasquirt can be set up for numerous "missing tooth" versions. Not sure if it is more accurate my way or with a hole every 90 degrees. The software knows it is 360 degrees, but not where to start-thus the missing tooth. Once the computer knows where 0 is, it can set timing of the spark where you input it on the software. It's a wasted spark set-up for me, another words it fires the spark every 360 degrees instead of 720. Ignition set up is a steep learning curve-at least for me. They say its harder than setting up fuel, so I should have it easier there. The drilling of the flywheel is definitely the cheapest route. The sensor is 30$.

I also have the C clamp style which worked very well with the head off the block.

You don't need that many reference holes. I think the guy I got the idea from had 3

It's a gear tooth sensor, so it picks up small deviations, Those holes aren't very deep, maybe 1/4" deep or so. I drilled it myself. I used my degree wheel to mark it off. I did have it rebalanced to make sure. As far as accuracy, the MS unit ran fine with my garage high tech drilling. I used my drill press and marked the bit to have consistent depth.

Sorry for the short answer Charles, and I see that my thread didn't show the flywheel. The flywheel has drilled holes at every 10 degrees which the gear tooth sensor picks up. I will find the pic somewhere.

Charles, I think I showed more on my MS3X install thread here on classic. Also have a thread on Hybridz

Well my trans is done and going in hell or high water tomorrow. Gear oil will be NON synthetic Lucas 80/9â‚© weight. Need to bribe some young backs to put it in for me. I'm part of a Facebook club, indiana university sports car club. I've already had several offers for help. It will be a bit weird watching someone else working on my car in my garage.

The compressor in your pic would be ideal. I just used a pry bar.

Omg, he was so young. I had several conversations with him. No nonsense kind of guy that knew Mikunis and ran a good business.

I've also read that e31 went on the first 10000 units, so vin 17000 leaves you with an e88

Not exactly true Gav. Depends on which version of the head. That e88 might have been on there for the last 44 years. Overheated warped head would or could have been easily replaced with a newer head, thus the e88. You can still find an e31 if you want the proper head for year car.

RELEASE THE KRAKEN on this thread

Might be a true series one- vin#? An earlier e88 is about the same as an e31

Yes - tools are good . Please check ALL wipe areas before buttoning up

The nut is welded on the engine bay side of the plate. The sensor has separate lock nuts. There isn't much room on the flywheel side and one welded nut is plenty if that's what your implying.

Thought I would throw up some pics that I recently downloaded. Car is still on stands waiting on my trans from the shop. Should go together quickly and this old man is going to hire some help to put the trans in to save my neck:) The one pic is my e88 at 39cc before install. Also is pictured my CAS set up and the carnage of the damaged original CAS.

Much better color! Even though it's not red

I hear you Jeff. My schedule is going to be very full and I hope this zcon doesn't collide with anything big with my families schedule. My son will he swimming nationals about that time of the year and I don't want to miss that either. At least after a year of no street z, I should be back driving. If I ever get my trans back

4 hours! You better go:)

Well your list made me aware that I would never make 15 or less, thanks. I was only hoping for peoples choice entry if i made it, but was considering that class also, but I'm waayyy to modified:) But I can live with that.

Hey Jim(Big Winner!), If I had made it I would have entered the street modified category, but I thought I might have had too many mods. How picky were the judges as far as counting mods? Did they package the mods like in the rules-example of front and rear spoiler.

Me too!
