To be honest I wouldn't pal, for such a cheap manifold, there is no point wasting money on heat retention

You could even do damage to the shit welds too, weakest part

Now if it was a header worth over 600 sterlings, then I would

nice work and the plans sound good, i take it that this manifold has been designed for use on both the stock sr20 head and the vvl head? but i thought there were differences between the two when it came to the ports matching up?
 
arent the coilovers that work with them over 1k?

EDIT: Yep, 900 quid RRP without shipping.

Did you see any Electrical connectors on the BC's when you fitted them?

Its just a stepper motor that goes on the damping adjustment

Nope why did i miss out then... :batman:

When you take off the strutop damping spindle adjuster looked the same as the one on the Tein topmount adjuster, was on the assumption it would of been a direct fit after no-one mentioned any problems in previous talks about them recently on the forum.

Well it would have to be exactly the same size as the BC's, and I wouldn't want to spend $4/500 to find out.
 
From some Scooby forums;

Its not the number of clicks thats important, its the total number of rotations that the adjuster knob goes through to travel from full soft to full hard. If Teins go through 3 full rotations and BC Racing 2 then youll have an issue with the motor trying to force the BC adjuster farther than it wasnt to go. Vis versa, if the Teins turn 2 full turns and BC Racing 3 full turns then youll never cover the full range of damping adjustment available with the BC Racing.

Thats ignoring the fundimental problem and mounting the EDFC motors to the BC racing damper unit in the first place.

E.G. Tein four full turns from soft to hard....

BC / Apex three full turns, so only use part of the range available...?

very nice work on the manifold pal, good prep

dont agree with the remote damper adjustment, but ey, its your car :)

You prefur the days when men did stuff with there hand's eh, techno generation ftw!

pfft, just doesnt seem necessary ... unless its active damping, so changes due to road conditions in a blink of an eye, then its just the same as getting out and doing it yourself ;) ................

........ does look PIMP though haha

Steve
 
Is there a particular reason why people think hard dampers help handling?


They dont. And im not gonna explain why go do some real research on suspension set up.

A remote adjuster kit isn`t need Ed.

Open bonnet before drive to track = soft.

At the track open bonnet again = stiff as hell.

Simples.

Sorry Ian, thats very confusing - can you explain what you mean? Do you have some kind of auto adjuster attached to your bonnet that changes the setting each time you open the bonnet? :uberlol:

I guess you're asking a genuine question, Ian will be referring to the damping adjuster nuts on the top of struts on coilovers, just give them a quick turn to stiffen/soften them up.
