  1. ok, just figured out how to calc. the resistors to be used when connecting the led's in series. you first add the voltage of the led's to be used together in series, so 2x3.6v=7.2. Â now we figure out the surplus voltage which is input-led's, so 12-7.2=4.8v. Â then you divide the surplus voltage by your led's target amperage, average is .020A. Â so 4.8v/.020A=240 Ohms worth of resistors. Â so 220 is close enough. Â so we do basically like this: +12vdc-------220resistor-------3.6vLED---------3.6vLED--------ground oh yeah, and i just found some 6400mcd white led's on ebay for $20 for a pack of 10 (brighter than the ones i got and same voltage, but a good bit cheaper). i'm also looking into 9000mcd ones from another place. this stuff's got me thinking ;D
  2. don't feel so bad, that's the same amount of power my car made with all the crap i've done on it... after swapping cams the other day i know exactly where my problem was though. but decent numbers for a relatively stock setup on a hot day. ;D
  3. just got back from radio shack... the only 3.6v led's they had were white, but they are 1100mcd which is why they are so bright. if i can figure out what resistors to use then i'll get the jumbo red led's that are 3000mcd for taillights. ;D the led's i bought were $4.99/each though and 351, here you go: http://www.jmkdisplays.homestead.com/acrylicrod.html
  4. now i'm a little confused on his wiring instructions... i see he means wire the led's in series, but from the instructions he makes it seem like the two spare ends both go to 1 resistor and then to power, he mentions nothing of a ground or anything like that ??? is it a 220ohm resistor to one end for power and a 220 to the other for ground? or a 220ohm in and regular ground?
  5. well, found some. spent $13 with shipping for 8 feet of 3/8" acrylic rod (extruded, says it carries light better). we'll see what i can do with this stuff
  6. yeah, i was wondering the same thing... where to find acrylic rod?
  7. 1. not necessarily, but it would be a good idea above the turbo if you're not running the stock heat shields. 2. if you want to, won't really hurt anything as long as it's at least in primer. you can just hit it with some rattle can primer to cover up the bare finish and go from there.
  8. yes yes, rough up the surfaces you're using the JB on and it will hold like mad. the first time i did my injector bungs i didn't do anything with the spun aluminum surface and they ended up falling out :-[ but on the second try it tood a disk grinder to them lightly and made a nice jagged surface on the aluminum and you can't get them out to save your life now ;D
  9. haha, guess what holds my injector bungs into my manifold? it's worked good so far. JBWeld works great for non-structural stuff, and fuel only seems to affect it if you didn't let it dry completely before exposing it. I'm a firm believer in the stuff, seeing as i don't have $2000 for a TIG to weld on an aluminum intake manifold. ;D
  10. i'm running the hall sensor in front on an unothodox, no problems thus far. i don't have any really decent pics to give you, but my mount starts with two of the timing cover bolts on the lower driver's side of the engine. http://us.f1.yahoofs.com/users/a71d304f/bc...cBg1X_Ab8SqurHP http://us.f1.yahoofs.com/users/a71d304f/bc...cBg1X_ATWnEvZZX http://us.f1.yahoofs.com/users/a71d304f/bc...cBg1X_AdgTbaPmc
  11. sounds like a nice setup to me. i just put on the SFP header and t3/60-1 turbo and it's like an entirely different car . boost comes up super fast and holds steady. i've got it tuned pig rich again until i get back to the dyno after the cam arrives but it runs soooooo much better than before.
  12. man, does he even have any kind of driveshaft under that suzuki? looks like the tailshaft would pretty much reach the rear end and even for rock crawling, i don't see the purpose of having that many forward gears. if it's a dedicated rock crawler it should only need about 3 nice low gears and some really low axle gearing. i'd love to see someone trying to decide which shifter to grab there though ;D it would be a pain to remember which combo is which gear.
  13. options auto salon has them for a pretty good price last i checked. www.optauto.com. i've ordered a good bit of stuff from them and they're fast and priced well. you could always jump on ebay too, i think the type-0's are going for like $75 on buy it now auctions but the shipping is usually sky high. here's the link to the actual page on options with hks timers/harnesses: http://www.optauto.com/webstore/product_li...15&last=115
  14. there is no "stock one" on my car. i'm running MPI so the whole stock injection system is gone. with the aeromotive you can still run the stock one or get rid of it and let the aeromotive regulator control your baseline pressure.
