The V8 Owners Forum -

Seems a backward step to me. One problem i had with the webber carb on my dakar was fuel sloshing around the float chambers and down the inlet making giving it a rich stumble (discovered by using a wideband) now clearly my dakar is pretty wobbly side to side, but i've heard similar reports of cars s...

Just a comment :D Setting the pressure with the engine stopped may be fine on a brand new vehicle. But with an older one, where there will likely be more voltage drop - and possibly a tired pump - I'd have thought engine running with the voltage that gives a better way? With the engine off, you wil...

hotwire is 3 bar iirc (tested with engine off and fuel pump running)


actually its 2.5 bar:

but you set the pressure with engine off (atmospheric pressure) and force the pump on (bypass the relay)

perhaps a slightly different approach would be to re-engineer an LS block to make it a drop in replacement in terms of bell-housing and engine mounts? Because after $15k on the billet rover block, you are still stuck with the crappy heads, intake and plenum which is going to cost another few grand t...

I would start by checking the engine numbers (and compression which is stamped next to the engine number) to ensure that you have indeed bought a sd1 engine and not an old low compression lump that will be gutless.

The cam wont care...and presumably if keeping a standard cam you dont intend to be using much boost anyway, so wouldnt worry too much.

Translation: why are you wasting your time with std stuff

Thanks for those thoughts - needs further investigation. Surely on Brit UK V8 forum, someone has a 14CUX injected V8 with a Megajolt/EDIS ignition system so has actual answers. Here is hoping but keep thoughts on possible issues coming. Cheers Garry You are not getting the answers because people do...

also head gaskets can fail on the outside which also sounds like a loose exhaust manifold

What a crock of shite.

I'm running an MS1 (through-hole board as you put it) with EDIS8 on my 5.7 twin turbo chevy - it's been in there for years, my board was just after the second group buy around 2003.

Certainly on the GM Hyrdamatic boxes - the physical tailshaft is a different length between 2 and 4wd, necessitating a strip down.

Cant comment on the 4hp stuff, but I've always read that you get a jag/bm 4hp and swap the bellhousing over.

i think the posted is stating that the pipes have corroded and have holes in them - I believe you can just not attach the coolant hoses at the front of the manifold if you are not using the heater matrix.

Yep it's at the back - see photo here:

That rover will be a low compression gutless slug - fine to get yourself up and running, but don't waste your money trying to fix/upgrade it - start with something better once you have the funds.

I've had all mine custom made up by Fastlane Automotive, who are now know as FLA manufacturing. http://www.fla-manufacturing.com/products/index They still make leads for individuals, just tell them what lengths you want, the edis cap type, what plug end you want and any special things like heat slee...
