The manifold doesn't look custom ay. Funny carbs too, solex? If you were going to make a custom manifold you'd put better side drafts on it than those surely.Bradlze wrote: ...and the maifold doesnt look custom either ooh i really should post up my other twin cams as well and show off the g200w i got with custom manifold with a 38dgms weber on it
- methinks twin 45s...
.
i mean i didnt do shit haha 
rebulit 5 speed and new clutch although block is fucked with a rod through the side and fucked cam and valve spring thingy majig haha but still motec and i have spares haha lots of spares now Was the 100k @ flywheel or at the wheels? If thats at the wheels thats pretty damn stout. BTW you owe some pics of your cars in the showroom section, pronto. What are you doing in regards to the EFI setup, are you going the standard Isuzu manifolds or custom? Id look at getting 4AGE 20V quad throttles and making a custom manifold for them, should be alot cheaper then getting weber-style quads.I have a pair of GTR-copy manifolds (extended by a ~25mm) with twin 45mm Weber DCOEs on my 2L DOHC (in a Florian).
(FYI - jetted correctly, DCOE 45's means 150HP instead of the standard 135HP EFI DOHC. Tates (a Melbourne mob that build racing engines etc) dyno tested my worn 2L DOHC at 135HP (100kW) at 6,000RPM (98 @ 5,000RPM) and - best of all - 383Nm torque @ 3,000RPM (300Nm @ 2,000RPM). This was a standard DOHC with 2 x 45DCOE and "GTR" manifolds and a 2" exhaust (standard exhaust manifold with a 24-26" 2-into-1 section; 1 muffler, 1 hot-dog). Normally 27mpg down to 22mpg in city thrashing. I actually down-tuned it to limit orbit times.
Chris doesnt know shit, ffs he owns a Ford now, that says it all. The 4Z is the same as any other Isuzu engine - fucking bulletproof.I may keep one Gemini-type DOHC filter in case I fit a DOHC to my Piazza(s) (if the 4ZC1 engine is as unreliable as Chris reckons!)
Your not near Doncaster by any chance are you? Saw a rough old Wasp pull out of a servo once, fell in love with it but i was headed in the wrong direction. I too have your disease - i love old cars, especially anything with an Isuzu badge.And as to DOHCs etc – its probably dead for the Wasp as she’s going back to her original owner now that I have Jaqi Jackeroo (after I fix her cracked head which she caught after RodeoBob delivered Jaqi here:- Jaqi had a pre-existing cracked head. Coincidence? I think not. RodeoBob knows how welcome he is here. He’s as welcome as that barbarian that awoke me ~9:30AM yesterday! lol – that too was R-Bob!).
Oops – I’m repeating what I said earlier.
You shouldnt need to carry a spare, as these days they are generally bulletproof [not literally. I mean, anything will break if you take a sawn-off shot gun to it...]. The timming discs is generally a-given, but the benifits of using one far outweighs the negatives. Fuel/Ign mode is far more advanced then fuel-only - im not just talking in a hippy tree-hugging emissions kind of way [it is pre epa after all] - im talking in terms of the most power for the least amount of fuel. And the best driveability. As for the fuel maps - you could switch between saved maps if you use a computer that has the hand controller feature enabled. Im using an EMS DualSport on the Gemini [well, will be using. its sitting on my bedroom floor atm] and i can save 3 maps on the hand controller, and switch between them when the car is off and it will load the chosen map when restarted.Oh yeah – I “should” now have the time to make my own EFI etc. Despite earning good money, I never liked the thought of spending $thousands on ECUs etc – especially when (a) I’d want to carry a spare or two, and (b), they didn’t do what I wanted anyhow (eg: self learning; needed timing discs or distributors; didn’t have D, R & E (for Drag, Race & Economy) “insta-switches” etc).
