JZ S12 BUILD, RIP 2012

Phisherman09last pic is where the s13 body harness plugs in.. youll find you coolant wire and start signal wire there.

plug next to the maf sensor is the IAT(intake air tempeture) sensor plug.

probably should be something plugged in where the tape is covering by the intake mani in that pic. dunno what tho.

SprockCapnDang. That's a killer snorkel of a MAF you got there  

Oh. and it looks like your missin a exhaust manifold nut... Incase you didn't see it

David B
haha yea i know i am missing a bolt on the mani. ill get sone soon
the snorkel is temp lol

what is taped in blue tape isnt that go to my brake booster? i was gonna get some line tomorrow

yeah, it is, and man, that might be exactly where your problem is coming from, im not sure though, I know most engines dont run right with the brake booster line taken off.

SO you got the KA in this car, what are you going to do with the SR?

D-sport S12SO you got the KA in this car, what are you going to do with the SR?

David, from what i understand, the KA to SR will be mostly drop in, you really should get the KA running, then start building the SR and drop it in.

the dizzy cap wont fit upside down

what if the alt isnt hooked up would that keep it from staying on at idle

It doesn't matter if the thing is pointing upward or downward, as long as the wires are in the right place and in the good order...
you have the right firing order 1-3-4-2, but if you are not firing the cylinder at TDC on the comp stroke, it will not run right at all.... you could try swaping the wire's position while keeping the good firing order like someone else here pointed out.  Try out bottom right corner 1, top right 3, top left 4, bottom left 2 and if that doesn't cut it, try 180 off, top left 1, bottom left 3, bottom right 4, top right 2...

Or if you want to be sure, put your crank pulley right to your TDC mark and pull the distributor cap, the rotor should point your #1 spark plug wire, follow the sequence 1-3-4-2 and your will be sure

but like i said the only way to keep it on is by using the throttle

seishukuIs the distributor in upside down? Try rotating it 180.

Alright, the distributor orientation doesn't matter as long as it lines up to the rotor inside....

Get your engine to TBC mark (on the crank pulley) and if you are sur the head is timed right, pull out the distributor cap.  You will see the rotor inside, now you got to make sure that the rotor is going behind the no1 spark plug wire when you reassemble your cap over the rotor.  

If this is OK, your probleme could as well be an air leak in your intake manifold, after your TB.  those guys pointing out the brakebooster vaccum inlet minght be right about it, make sure it is not leaking air past the tape, if it is, the car will not idle on close loopor open loop, because it will be way too lean.  Get a piece of hose (2inch) in there and tighten the collar around the pipe, get a good size bolt in the hose and tighten an other collar to keep the bolt secure.  That's the only way I plug a hole in my manifold if I have too.  

If all this fails, check all your vaccum hose to see if they are not cracked and follow them all the way, to see if they are pluged in right.  I have a strong feeling you are only havin a leak in your intake, either through a vaccum hose/fitting or through a gasket (hope it's through a hose)

Tom

yeah mna that sounds like a mad ass vacuum leak. tryin pluggin that hole and see what happens. somethins defienelty not right.

Alright, I didn't check the video before posting and after seeing it, it sure as hell look like an air leak....

yea on a different forum everyones telling me the same

you will need to adjust your iac idle thingy. that might be your problem too. i had to on mine.
also, check where the throttle plate is, theres a screw on the side of the throttle body that when adjusted will push the throttle open a little, adjust that for idle too.

David B : hello i like your 2 nissan s12 ,colours are so fine

got a intake. ill most likley have to cut it i generally am going to put it here

where does this go to! i dont have it hooked up possible vacumm leak
(http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k20/gamefreak291/100_2662.jpg)

that would go to the side of the plenum, right behind the throttle body. there is a vac. port sticking out you need to connect it to. do you have a chiltons/hayes book?

(http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k20/gamefreak291/100_2663.jpg)

that?

yezzz, sirrr.

i want more space on the left side for no apparent reason so i moved the intake and cut it a bit

(http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k20/gamefreak291/100_2719.jpg)

i will be putting plastic in between the ground, and the wheel, so the filter doesnt get crap all over it,
i kinda wanted to make a port, to the front to pick up lots o air

David, I know its 99% not going to happen, but you could hydrolock with the filter down where it could get submerged in deep water situations.

Never a bad bet to get Air Bypass Valve.

id like to keep it like that,

i have a bunch of space to get to the tranny bolts now

omg exuast work sucks

i finished it, just need to hang it more

but the exuast point inside, ill cut off the muffler and reweld it straigt later,

still gotta lot of holes to fill in etc. ill do my best

its stock downpipe to 2.5 inch all the way to a curving 3 inch
with a HKS muffler that came originally on the car
