parrot Posted June 9, 2015 Report Posted June 9, 2015 You didn't fail! You learned heaps. Amused and filled us with wonder! And seemingly had a hell of a lot of fun along the way. Do a Juddy, go away and think about it for a while with a return to standard EFI, then amaze us some more with No.3. 1 Quote
67Rolla-Ken Posted June 10, 2015 Report Posted June 10, 2015 Well said Pete! Always great fun following your antics Luke. Can't wait to see what's next! Quote
carbonboy Posted June 12, 2015 Author Report Posted June 12, 2015 20V stock bottom end with your 16V head and carbs. With the exception of it being a 3 rib block, that's what I had. Wouldn't mind it again though, the mid-range rpm has much more go. Arrgh! That's no good! What do you reckon? Warped head? I hope not, spent a noticeable amount having it completely rebuilt for this engine. I suspect a fault in the block. You didn't fail! You learned heaps. Amused and filled us with wonder! And seemingly had a hell of a lot of fun along the way. Do a Juddy, go away and think about it for a while with a return to standard EFI, then amaze us some more with No.3. It has been fun, thankyou to you all for coming along for the ride. :) Well said Pete! Always great fun following your antics Luke. Can't wait to see what's next! The quads will return. Here we go again. Quote
carbonboy Posted June 14, 2015 Author Report Posted June 14, 2015 Fuel tank out. Wiring loom out. While the front wheel-arch plastics were off, decided to see how much crud had accumulated behind the guard. Now to repeat the process. Quote
carbonboy Posted June 15, 2015 Author Report Posted June 15, 2015 The nearest bus stop to my house is a 45min walk away, then 15min to the train station, then a 45min ride, swap trains, another 10min ride then a 10min walk just to get to work provides a helluva lot of motivation. ;) Quote
coln72 Posted June 15, 2015 Report Posted June 15, 2015 That was pretty quick! Well, Luke has had a lot of practice...... :P Quote
carbonboy Posted June 17, 2015 Author Report Posted June 17, 2015 EFI has waaayyy too much $h1t to disconnect, just sayin'. Three hours of work later. Quote

B.L.Z.BUB Posted June 18, 2015 Report Posted June 18, 2015 Do it a few times, then remove all the Shit you don't need and it gets pretty quick. Quote
carbonboy Posted June 18, 2015 Author Report Posted June 18, 2015 It could be a lot worse I guess, it doesn't have A/C or P/S so there's less hoses/wires to deal with. The loom needs a good clean up & re-taping in some places. I tapped into it for power/MAP sensor signal etc at a few points & my electrical work from 7 years ago leaves a lot to be desired. Quote
parrot Posted June 18, 2015 Report Posted June 18, 2015 I know it's painful and delaying, but might be a good idea to source a virgin loom and save your modified one for the resurrection? Quote
carbonboy Posted June 19, 2015 Author Report Posted June 19, 2015 No need to source one thankfully, the SOHC-carburetor wiring loom that BT came with was modified for the quad-setup. I have since removed it & storing it away for later. Am removing the DOHC-EFI loom from the white TC (EFI & Carby looms are quite different) to install into BT, I also have the EFI loom from the project car if need be. :) Quote
