Just curious, why did you pull an eta head for no reason? Lol

Because Racecar, I thought you knew.

clusters are all interchangeable. ALL OF THEM. Only difference is the gas gauge (which is easily swapped over).

I hate hearing that people need a specific brand of cluster. Grinds my gears.

But how do you really feel? My favorite is an eta cluster in an 'i.' Take that baby waaaay past redline.

Well it all depends on what color your powerband is. If you have a red powerband (the fast one) then obviously a red airfilter. Blue is a pretty mild power band but if you have a puple powerband BE SURE to get the blue filter. It's a rare one and the dyno tests show blue over a red filter for some reason.

I was thinking the cool blue might lower intake temps, but those are good points about the different power bands.

success!

needs a bit of cleaning. allready took the intake/TB off and washed them. Still need some other stuffs. The yards today was insane. Ive never seen it so packed.

I left a b27 block ready for someone to swoop up. I also put a SUPER clean eta head in the backseat of a red eta in the big yard.

Congrats, Hope things go smoothly.

cus he has an early model as I recall...Anyone going to the yards be on the lookout for a clean glovebox and latch? I pay in gum...

Dont have a Glovebox, but I got latches, and I even have one with a key... ;)

Ws about to post that^

I hope you're having it pressure tested and decked at a machine shop before installation.

Just curious, why did you pull an eta head for no reason? Lol

Was also wondering :rofl:

Someone had pulled out a engine and left it in front of the car. valve cover was off. It was super clean! i was like wth this should only take me a few min. 5mins later the head is laying in the back seat of that same e30 lol. Eta intake valve are huge!

So today I broke a cheap 10mm socket and bent/twisted a cheapo 3/8 drive extension from removing headbolts wtf...

Matt, yes im going to have the head set out. hot tanked / decked. I hit someone up about a nice cam but no reply yet...
Know where i can get a cam reground on the cheap?

[Robert]

ben, remember which bolts your torq... mark them off as yougo.

You told me you forgot if you did one or not on your vert, don't deny it.

[Ism20craze30]

Is anyone going to the yards tomorrow my dumbass forgot to grab a rear hub while I was there one of the lug holes is stripped don't know how

[yert315]

Is the bolt in there or the threads stripped? Taken a tap to it?

[e30trooper]

I told you I may have over tq'd one head bolt. However that wasnt the case because for the year i beat that car i never had one issue.

Eta valves are small!

I can get you a reground cam for $170 picked up. Same as IE sells for $190.

How do you plan to pull a rear hub at the yard?
