$130 for Kirban's #7530, which is the wiring harness + the 4 new H4 headlights. $68 for the harness by itself, #7531. Plus shipping of course :) Worth it to me to not have to track down the various connectors and whatnot. I was still time ahead by just fixing up what I received. But I...

I bought the Kirban's headlight upgrade kit about a month ago, and mine too was not "plug-n-play". I did make it work though, and I do like the end result. I would buy it again, but it would be nice if Kirban's would get this thing right. I had 3 issues with mine: 1. The relays were not wired...

Heads are ported irons, new guides and all that. Though when I say new, that was new about 20 years ago now I guess, LOL. But not as it came from the factory. The pedestals have never been touched that I recall. Coil bind, I will certainly check that. As for the guides, I guess retainer to...

I just acquired a set of used T&D 1.65:1 roller rockers. Are there any concerns I should be aware of, any reason I shouldn't run these? I got them with the intention of just throwing them on the car along with a new set of PAC 1201 springs. I'm running a hydraulic roller cam I got from...

I've long thought that is the best orientation. Curious, have you been able to document any performance improvement with this arrangement?

Found the thread with more description and pics: https://www.turbobuick.com/threads/looking-for-ideas-on-my-pcv-system.252632/

Semi-closed. I have check valves underneath my breathers, so the PCV can't suck air into the engine through the breathers, but if the crankcase pressure ever gets high enough, excess pressure will be let out through the breathers. Consider it a poor mans vacuum pump set up, where the manifold...

Also some relevant information in this thread: https://turbobuick.com/threads/pcv-blm-relationship.282798/ Personally I like running a PCV with closed breathers, and I think the vac pump setup is a great idea too.

There should be some posts from me regarding the Samurai installation method. Really stealth install, with the box hidden behind the glove box. Let me know if a thread search doesn't turn it up, I have pics and simple wiring diagrams to do it.

Thanks for the pic dank, that looks nice

I suppose you then ran the wires back up to the front of the car alongside the fuel lines? Maybe in some wire loom kind of protective covering? or did you run the wiring inside the car?

Looking for the exact location guys have used to put the flex fuel sensor. I'll be running a new -6 return line next week and have a flex fuel sensor to go in the line, so I can put my SD2 in flex fuel mode. I've seen a recommendation to put it way in the back by the gas tank, and another to...

You asked how much pressure drop there is across the turbine. Hard to say, there's several factors that go into it. First, understand that the turbine drives the compressor. The amount of hp required to drive the compressor can be determined from the air flow rate and the boost it's making...

maybe... I was at Spring Cypress and N. Eldridge around 6:20 I think. But I didn't go all the way down to 249. If it didn't have a grill, it was me. Well, now that I think about it, you were talking Wed. I was at 249 and Jones on Wed around 6ish.

My thought too - "damn early!" but plan to be there with my heap. I think I'm going to start telling everyone it's a barn find, at least until I can get it painted, LOL
