Pretty much :P haha
Decided i disliked the arrangement of the numbers on the speedo and after some thought I come to the conclusion that while it looks good it would annoy me whilst going along. :lol:

I like how it shoots up when turned to accessories... little things like that make something all the more awesome lol.
It annoys me slightly that yours makes cool noises and speedo needle shoots up and XG one does not haha...

well I've got a slight case of head f**k...

I've been reading how to do the cam timming and it says once every 38 turns the cams will line up with where they're ment to be, now if I've put them in 180 out, the way I see it is if I rotate the motor 38 times it will still be 180 out,


so should I just rotate the motor 19 times and it should be correct?


or am I going about this all wrong

that reference to rotating 38 times is in regards to the yellow links on the chain. what it means is the yellow links line up with the crank mark and cam markers every 38 rotations..
as your engine is out of whack, to get that right you need timing cover off to line up the single yellow link with the crank mark before lining the cams up with the upper yellow links..

far I have 4 major issues
1. tacho
2, oil pressure gauge
3, my obd port isn't working properly, might have bumped a wire somewhere so i'll sort that out
4, touch the throttle it dies, going to check all my vac lines but i'm thinking the tune might be wrong

Hi Mitch

Are you running a tacho adaptor?
Oil pressure gauge are you running this through old el loom
OBD port just check with a multimeter
As for throttle NFI

Good luck
