I dont think so, your ignition options are limited. You really need to stay with the ignition systems the delco came out with. That have the same old 4 wire ignition interface. When you say what the delco came with - I need to use the distributor from a pulsar or similar? with a single coil? Can I ...

Ok, So Im back on this horse for now. Wife has been well nor a while now, so Ive got some breathing room to keep rolling with this car. I'm still collecting bits and pieces, ordering things when they present so I can spread out the cost. I was originally going to use toyota COPs - that was the thing...

For our first spawn, amongst other things, she s...

Re: Datsun / Mazda /Nissan / Ford Frankenstein motor Post by Holden202T » Mon Apr 09, 2018 12:37 pm hope the wife is all good and nothing major! Thanks for the thoughts. Its a mental health thing. These don't just get better like a broken leg unfortunately and its been dragging for a few years now....

Ok, So an update on the project. Its come to a grinding halt. Its basically a lack of available time. My wife has been unwell for some time and the house is needing much needed repairs and renovations. As such, what waking time I have available is looking after the family or working on the house. It...

The N16 TB is the nissan efi, so wont have the right holden IAC engine. The N13 1.8L TB would be suit better. Its probably the smallest of the options were throwing around but with the small engine you have its probably ample. Thanks for that Antus. :thumbup: The N16 doesn't seem to have much of va...

Barb and map is fine, i'd put it on the back of the engine bay like the pulsar. Placement doesnt really matter. Under dash is just harder and more pipe so I dont see any advantage to that. Cheers, I also just realised that one of the pics yopu posted has the sensor in it, on the firewall with hose ...

Why do you want to put the map sensor inside the car? I dont particularly. Perhaps i didnt explain myself well. I just know that the mazda manifold uses a MAF sensor, which is no good for the Delco - it wants a MAP sensor. As such there isnt a hole to fit the MAP sensor, so i was questioning what m...

Thanks CharlesCrown. The length of the hose would only be about 1.5m by the time its pinned back to a wiring harness, through the firewall and under the dash. (the Datsun 1000 is not a big car). mazda-mx5-mx-5-mk2-eunos-roadster-1.6-inlet-intake-manifold-8225-p.jpg That is the intake I'm using Alter...

So does it really matter what sensor you use? I was thinking that it would need to be a genuine Delco unit for the Delco computer to read it, or at least a direct replacement unit. The autometer part looks like a direct replacement part for the delco when you look at the pictures, but then so do the...
