So after so much noise and planing and running around and buying the Lexus V8, posting the Lexus V8 motor starting up on YouTube When push came to shove, ended up not doing the conversion Still have the Lexus V8 at home, and all the other parts At that stage in life, was not in the mood to do all th...

So after a few years, think it's time to update The Kia pica6is a grea6 little car, a lot depends on the dealer and the butchers/WORKSHOP that gets hold of it The Kia Workshop made a mess of jobs, that were not even necessary, leading to years of frustration and swearing To the point where I have ma...

That is great if one has nothing to do with telkom
Will look into that RF Link, pressure it could be their 3G connection

kfxnando

Hear, that Afrihost has good service
My concern is that it will still via the Telkom network
And that is the reason, why I am prepared to pay more to avoid anything to do with Telkom

Pleasure
Glad it fits as expected

Yes that stroker does make a difference My 3.4 is a factory stroker motor One of the advantages of the factory one is that the uprated heads had 43mm inlet valves Yes that original manifold is restrictive There are various ways of solving that Forced induction A EFI manifold Or Two 38s with its resp...

V6 3.0 parts, still plenty around
Have enough parts to build two complete motors and have plenty spares for those

Now bring in the 3.4 V6 and that becomes way more difficult

However those ford/mazda WL motors are great and have huge potential

kfxnando

1st, did not read all the replies We cancelled DSTV, two years ago It's been a learning curve 1st we got telkom 4meg adsl uncapped Had problems from even before the line was connected, and so it went for the 1st year 2 to 3 weeks of being disconnected was not uncomen , the last straw, was 6 weeks My...

Pieter Also used to feel like that about reving a motor However new motors are designed to different They do more work at higher revs For me it started with my one bike, govener was at 14500rpm My current bike 12000rpm Work done, measured in KW, is higher , if one can get a motor to be efficient at ...

Christo
Look at your 1st sentence
" Testing torque you start a dice in third gear. Modified 302 with AFR heads hit 420nm @1600 rpm."
That is exactly what I am talking about
Both out the box, as they come out the factory

Two big quads All our camping gear Trailer top tent mounted on the 1.4meters :lmao: Everything except the kitchen sink The disconnecting of the plumbing to take the kitchen sink is not my strong point And when we go across the border, that we can tow the whole set up over the that last piece before ...

kfxnando

The old trailer was great, however, had added a few things to it, like stilts for the trailer top tent However it was getting small Had been considering building a new one, however never you got around to it A friend, who cousin was looking for a trailer for Malawi, was complaining that new trailers...

Mild cams are nice for everyday and 4x4 use. Usually the cam profile stays the same with added lift. I have the same problem with the Lexus v8 comparing it with Yankee v8`s. You do not have that low down grunt with a Lexus. At some stage we are going to change the Lexus cam profiles in our Lexus Hi...

kfxnando

What effect does a mild cam have on your torque? I remember some of the guys who had modified cams in their Hilux engines complained that low down torque was sacrificed. Will it be the same on the V6? Self a few different answers here 1. My one is a 3.4, witch is basically a stroker 3.0 A stroker m...

kfxnando

Wow
You have taken on a job that I don't think I would have the guts to take on

This thread, inspires me to get off my @$$ and go do what I have to do on my projects

kfxnando

Christo Thanx for the links - they are great Did you see what that 3.4 makes From the mods that I have on my one, speculate that I should in the region 165kw+ So could be on the mark My compression is 9.5:1 - a little lower - on original 1st oversized orig6for pistons Mild cam from Lamco 745 Ported ...

IMO The only drawback of the GoPro , is the size of the files And when one starts pushing up the number of frames per second, then the files get even bigger Have on a few occasions when editing clips, filled up the hard drive on my laptop Now a dedicated 1t external hardrive to store all the origina...

kfxnando

Could be off here
However, seem to remember on my gopro, there is an option, that when the memory is to to either record over the existing footage (loop) or to stop when memory is full, and I have a hero 2

kfxnando

Chris
Thanx for the reply
Glad to see, that I am other the only one who is a bit disappointed

Don't know much about photography, however I enjoy tacking pics

Should of gotten a DSLR, however was advised against getting one

Now need to wait a while before I get another camera

Thanx

kfxnando

Saw the thread on out the SX50 and though seeing that I have the SX60 , would start a new thread Have had a Canon G7 for about 10 years, and have taken some amazing pics So, with us to go on holiday the last December, got an itch to get a new camera Was looking for an SLR, however many people advise...

kfxnando

Going with aftermarket injectors, as I believe they are all more or less the same size
Yes some flow more then others
Was told aroumd R600 each
So working on about R4000
Unless the Rand takes a dive again

kfxnando

Have sourced an original Ford V6 manifold that came out of the Sierra iRS Have the fuel rails No injectors, however that is no issue Have the throttle body, and a spare one Then have the spares that won't be used for the lexus V8 into the bakkie Surge tank Fuel pump Computer box - the guy who has do...

kfxnando

Thanx

However am about to make it a bit complicated
By fitting fuel injection to it

kfxnando

Thanx Thabo
Just hectic, with way way way too many things
Way way way too many plans, and not enough time for a fraction of the things

kfxnando

The gopro is a much better option
However, due to its wide angle lens, will have the same thing as the cheap dash cameras, that number plate recognition, becomes difficult

The gopro, will be good money spent
Have an older unit, love it

kfxnando

This may come asee a shock Lexus V8 conversions, did not get done And will not get done Eventually when the V6 broke a piston skirt, decided again the conversion, was not in the mood for all the work Build a great 3.4, with new pistons from Ford - believe it or not, it was the cheapest price Did the...

kfxnando

we had two cant remember the brand we paid R1600 each IMO, not worth the money unless one is very close to the car in front, the number plates are not clear traffic lights at a distance, cant tell what color it was sound was brilliant it displayed location on map and speed and G-force self not impre...

kfxnando

the other one is, that he works on the mines in Namibia

I am very happy with my Aygo. I get on average 17km/l, normally does between 120 and 130 when going to Cape Town. When I am in a hurry and drive it hard at not to be quoted speeds, I never ever got below 15 km/l . Consumption not as good as Toyota claims but still very good. It is a nice solid car ...

kfxnando

Thing is it all the manufactures however in a way they have been pushed in that directions as the figures they quote are done in a lab yep the car is put on a dyno in a lab and all manufacturers are doing this hence why it is very difficult to get the manufacturer quoted fuel consumption with the ki...

kfxnando

Do not buy the Aygo And when last talking to someone from toyota believe it's been dropped from the range, no longer brought in However the Peugeot 107 if memory serves me right, is the same car as is the citron C1 however have a look at the kia picanto, yes they have gone up in price since last yea...

females are easier to train

kfxnando

Both links very impressive

kfxnando

It is a go or price agree that it is about the going rate for an extra 250-300 buck you could get a 200A better to have it and never need it then need it and not have it self have a thermodine or thermomax can't remember those two are the same thing different labels paid R2680 in 2008 and have seen ...
