Re: erratic overheating

if you say the fans are on and yet the temp is on the rise, then wiring up a direct fan switch will not solve the issue. try the bubble test to see if the head gasket is leaky. if possible a compression and / or leakdown test too. finally, next time it overheats, try turning the cabin heater on full...

Re: erratic overheating

if compression is leaking from the head gasket to the water jacket, you should be able to see tiny bubbles with the engine running and radiator cap taken off. going by the symptoms you describe, I have a strong suspicion it is your fan relay and / or thermoswitch [2 pin thing sticking out of the the...

I still nee...

Re: some intresting about block D-Serie

Re: non power steering

I recently deleted my PS assembly completely. I've driven without the PS belt before and it felt really crappy when the wheels weren't rolling. I guess this was because of the fluid being unable to circulate and creating a lot of resistance in addition to the usual weight of the steering and wheels....

Re: D13Y8

thanks Joris. it has been a while since then and is getting better now. made a lot of changes to the map [yet to find the sweet spot], changed the header, intake, did a wire tuck, etc... I will post about them soon. :)

Re: LPG

will check them out. I also saw that Keihin Corp made LPG injectors. however, for the moment I bought myself a set of 240cc injectors for 10 USD which did not end up to be in very good shape. before consigning them to the trash heap, I might as well have my fun with them and learn something. ;)
