I turned up the boost! lolz
Seriously though, I'm at 12.5PSI now... Feels like it pulls way harder than the 11.5 that I was at, doesn't make sense since it's only 1PSI, but whatever!
Duty cycle is still good at 62% @ 5000RPM with 11.3:1 AFR, and should be lower now that I went though a tuning cycle (should be at 11.7 - 12:1).
Edit:
I need to get it on a dyno...
I pulled apart the plug wires, and remove the jank plugs and installed nkg vpower plugs, which I've noticed the old ones where actually 1/2 inch shorter then the ngk's which is most likely why I couldn't seat the wires correctly. upon doing so I've removed the air intake stuff that the tb was connected to so I can fit my hand in the 4th cyl and get it to click in. What a pain, but I got it. I still have to put it back together and with luck this will fire right up with 0 issues this time.
Got time to do the B-trans Short Throw shifter write up!http://club-s12.org/v3/index.php?topic=33403.msg346204#msg346204 (http://club-s12.org/v3/index.php?topic=33403.msg346204#msg346204)
Also ran by the wreckers and got 2 of the vacuum solenoids that I need, only need one, but got 2 @ $5.50 each since they are used! Also got an interior rear view mirror from an '84 300ZX. Mirror is in. Have to test the solenoids! Now I just need to find one of the Idle Speed Adjusters and try to resmog it!
awesome night of delivering chinese food, plus getting sideways in the rain :yes:
Put the air system back together, then cranked it over and it was actually working for the moment 700 RPM idle, all the electronics worked inside the car, including ice cold air. But I forgot I destroyed the metal piping for the coolant line for the TB. First I attempted to block it, but decided just to reworked that by replacing the tubing with some custom 3/8" 3 ft of hose, that but from there it started to crap out. it starts up but idles at 400, 0 electronics work inside. So now trying to figure out the wiring for this VG's connectors. Going to pick a part tomorrow to get a connector hopefully that matches the color of my ecu wiring for the TPS Sensor connector to the engine harness.
help get the sliver s12 out my yard. then got most of the supercharger stuff mocked up and then started mounting it!
Drove over to where it's stored, and looked at it.
Changed the trans and diff fluid to Redline 75w90, It's much happier now! I also failed to get the rear calipers unfroze! I wish I had gobs of money to throw at it and do it right!
well took another look what the issue might be and is starting to get discouraged on this, thinking about downgrading to another ca20e model =(
MADE LOVE TO IT!!! My S12 has been treating me nice! hahaha
Gave her a bath =)
Got it stuck on my driveway again :D

Installed a drivers side spray nozzle under my hood, then tried it out and aimed both sides. Then i stuck a yellow foam Cape Breton flag on my cars antenna ^_^ I needs me a small window decal to put on.. once i go to remove the fail tint with the upside-down decal in the rear window...
Got mine running for the first time in waaaaay too long.
tried and horribel failed to remove my RB crankpulley
Fucked up that thing pretty bad :-(
I spoke too soon!
My upper heater core hose decided to go yesterday while the mister took the car for a ride. He tells me he didn't even bother to check the coolant gauge and ran the car to the car wash to 'cool it off'. His method of 'cooling' off a car is *washing* it (WTF?!!) and not once bothered to check the radiator fluid.
Long story short the damn thing is foaming out the rad opening and overheating after 15mins of driving.
Replaced heater hoses (bypassed the heater core) and running it now as I type.
Nothing is mixing, oil or water... This is NOT looking good.
Then again a CA20 never looks good :\

I knew I had boost leaks but I'mm crazy busy so I haven't addressed them yet. Previous owner left vacuum hoses running everywhere disconnected. I went out to see if I could get my factory boost gauge to work. So I joined two hoses, took it for a test drive, got into boost to check it out and DAMN if the car didn't haul ass like never before! I have to take care of all of the leaks. Boost gauge still doesn't work though!
Bought the actual battery, and found out why when I have the car running my eletronics don't run. I need a new ignition switch, if I mess with the key inside it turns on then off. The ignition switch is ghetto anyways you can start the car with a screwdriver. Idling still jank but I'm about to mess with the throttlecable and shorten it just a tad to keep the RPM's about 700.

idle set high, when i give it gas it revs up no problems at all. TPS might be toast due to the cabling on the connector was wrong if that did effect it any from the adapter wiring mumbo jumbo.
But yeah I'm thinking of dumping some sea foam in tomorrow and let it go from there.

started it.. drove it 20ft, washed it, drove it 100ft, took some pics.. drove it around the yard, parked it.. thats all
nearing 5 months of ownership on my SE v6... and I have put almost 10,000 miles on it. Still going strong!
compression test on the ca18det........#4 cyl is gone. Yay excuse to tinker with shit and get more power now!!!!
well.....when Im not broke!
Last night, I painted the opening under the front bumper (black, it looked bad with the red paint on the fan and radiator!) And changed the clutch master and slave!
Today, I cleaned and painted the stock steel rims!
Tomorrow, I try the rear brake pads again, then change the oil. Maybe I will get to mount the drive lights and Hella SuperTones!
Stopped my oil leak with some thread tape, removed my seized right parking brake cable and will be ordering a new one shortly.
After i got home picked up my battery from the autoparts store for having them recharge it again. I've digged into a wire to tape up, tested the TPS sensor volt meter is returning 0 for the diagnostics proceedure in the book, and I cranked it while i had it disconnected and it still idled like before at 300 then choke.
So I'm from this point assuming my issue is the TPS sensor and / or wiring issue with a bare wire for the drainage of the battery.
Ordered a new TPS sensor from rock auto, so awaiting till that returns before i do anymore testing.
Adjusted my rear Camber today! Way better than before.

reason for the mess: SOME ASSHOLES PUT LOCKTITE ON THE CRANK!!!!!!! only raw violence was abel to remove it!
hope to find soon a cheap new one
^^^ Yikes.
I just got done cleaning my H4 housings, they were getting pretty nasty looking. Almost light new now.
(http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y59/seishuku/CleanHeadlight.jpg)
Changed the rear brake pads, damn its simple, once you know about screwing the piston it! Painted the passenger door handle & the drivers side window trim black. Also, picked up a nice S13 steering wheel on Cl for $10 and some H6054 H4 housings with bulbs and daytime bulbs! I got the steering wheel installed as soon as I could pick up another puller, since I can't find the 2 I own! Damn, storage units! But they were cheap and the new one is much better built!

Fixed my leaky tire lol haven't had time to do much gonna be transfering apts here soon too
>:( I was installing/playing with the new car speakers and i took a break to eat. an old project that i had made fell off my self above my computer and knocked over a large glass of pop that covered my key board, mouse and computer tower and monitor. FML i just spent the last 4 hours taking everything apart as much as possible (Except my monitor). Everything else was not working, comp would only turn on and freeze at a black screen, then the mouse would not work once the computer was fixed, then my keyboad was acting up :yelling: I just fixed it. so much for working on the car, still have the door panels off and was taping the vapor barrier in place.... Which reminds me, the fucking stereo is still on!!
