I got the engine finished off and running this weekend.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately I still have the S13 temperature sender in the inlet manifold as a new hole needs to be tapped for the N13 one, something for Bri-Z Fabrication I hope. So I pretty much have no temperature guage as slightly warm reads past ‘H’ on my N13 dash.<\/p>\n
The car seems to be alot louder out the exhaust at idle than I remember. The start up and idle were both good and trouble free. Still blowing a little bit of smoke, this might be the rings but really hoping it’s just a bit of junk being burnt off from sitting for a couple of months. The engine itself however, is a lot quieter which is great. The lifters in the last head must have been getting a bit tired.<\/p>\n
Upon trying to load the motor up or increase the revs from idle, the car starts to make a slight back fire followed by a hissing noise. It’s been suggested to check all of the ignition which I will be doing tonight.<\/p>\n
Looking forward to seeing what the 3071r is going to do…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
