Try the tape again. Your using 3M tape thats about 1/8 thick right? Use rubbing alcohol to clean the dash where you want to put it and the base of the gauge. Then heat the dash and gauge base a little with a heat gun. Doesnt need to be much. If you have the adhesion promotor for the tape then use it. Then press really hard.

Do you know what brand those rims are? I'd love to get my hands on a set like that.

Make a bracket that fills where the clock would go and holds your gauge.
This car looks so sick. We need to find round 175 50 13 tires.

Hmmm ill see what I can come up with. Want to stick a water temp gauge up there also. I'm sure we could find some but importing them would probably be a pita.
Edit: Just did a quick search on yahoo japan auctions. Only brand they had in that size was nankang :banghead:

That's as high as it'll go too. I could probably grind the pinch welds off if I cranked it all the way down on narrower wheels.

Yeah it was late so I just wiped off the dash real quick and slapped it on. Ill give that a try when I get a chance.

Most often they pop up as exim mesh. The company also went by exip at some point I think. They were made in the 80s and have "made in west germany" stamped on them. Kinda rare but not too bad. Another member picked up a set a month or so back.

New fuel filter finally came in today. While I was putting that in noticed the fresh air tube to the valve cover had come loose from the valve cover. Checked the pcv valve and that was plugged up. Would let air through in either direction. Swapped for one off another motor and took it for a test drive. Drove better but still wasn't quite right. Based off a few posts on here I figured I should check for leaks in the intake tube. Hooked up the evap machine to the manifold and pumped it full of smoke. Found a few small leaks at the intake tube to throttle body connection. Just loosened up the tube and shoved it on tighter then tightened down on the clamp a little more. Couldn't find any more leaks but that seems to have helped a lot. Pulls pretty strong from 3500 to redline now.

Kinda hard to see but the blurry white spot at the bottom edge of the tube is the smoke coming out.

If the pcv valve was plugged theres probably a lot of junk in the intake manifold. Try some seafoam or other throttle body cleaner in there, especially clean where the butterfly valve is.

Had the manifold off to clean it and port match it. Throttle body is off a b6d and was cleaned before I put it on.


I spoke to soon it's still doing it especially under 4k at part throttle.

Is your tps adjusted correctly? Also, is that the b3 tps?

[likeJIF]

Sweet looking ride you have there man, lots of good things getting done to that little gem you have there.

[shorestiva]

yup b3 tps adjusted with feeler gauges according to the service manual

[Advancedynamix]

I'm out of ideas. Bad fuel filter?

[shorestiva]

Ran a used one off another car for 2 tanks then dropped in a new napa gold so kinda doubt it. Some of that crud got past the filter and into the injectors? Need to double check cam and ignition timing again. Pretty sure they're both dead on but cant hurt to double check. I have a old lm1 5 channel datalogger/wideband laying around here somewhere. Was planning on wiring it in at some point but that might be happening sooner rather than later now. Its either that or just go ahead and drop my megasquirt in.

[Advancedynamix]

Try flushing the rail and cleaning the injectors. Maybe you've got some debris bouncing around in there causing a ruckus.

[shorestiva]

Might've fixed it. Took the disty cap off and cleaned all the terminals. Smoke checked the intake again found my purge solenoid was leaking so capped that vacuum port off. Replaced the intake tube worm clamp with a t clamp. Also advanced the timing a degree or 2. Seems to pull a lot better up top at wot. Need to put around at part throttle for a couple days and see how it feels.

Nice!
