hey peeps,

got a 96 gts-t t3/t4 high flow, forged internals, shaved heads, full 4 inch trust zorst (no cats), power fc comp etc etc, and it has been in lay up for the last 4 months in a garage. i didnt drop any liquids out just left as is, and it hasnt been started cause the battery died and im not in the country. almost home now and will need it asap, is there anything i should be weary about when i goto first kicking it over. im thinking of droping the oil out and putting new stuff in (MOTUL OIL) but other than that i cant think of anything else that should need looking at, any sugestions?

cheers!

Add some fresh fuel into the tank

as in time fuel will decay and moisture will

find its way into the tank, causing engine

to run poorly.

Just to be safe disconnect your CAS

(Cam Angle Sensor) and your power

plug to the coil packs.

Crank it over several times to build the oil supply

around the motor.

Plug them back in and fire her up!

Cheers,

Bill

ive heard that its safe to remove the CAS when the engine is at top dead centre, and replace when in top dead centre, how much of a neccesity is this?

no need to remove it. just unplug it. definately turn the motor over untill you see some oil pressure. then fire it up.

i would probably do the oil change after the first time of driving so that you can change it when the oil is warm to make sure you get it all out.

check all other fluids etc too.

      If it's for a SR20, make sure it's not the American Poncams, might as well call them Poocams. Had a set in a friend's car, all scuffed up after a few track days. Like the metallurgy Tomei USA used is junk. Went back to JDM OG Tomei Poncams, no issues till now.   Tomei USA is not the real OG Tomei.   Random rant over, fk the US of A, bunch of c u n t s.

      Most of the industry in North America either runs on Siemens or Allen Bradley. I have two redundant S7-1500's on my desk right next to me for simulation. Siemens has been losing ground though since Stuxnet, as cybersecurity is a big thing. In my line of work that is federally regulated, you must by law have a cybersecurity management program in place and its audited and inspected every so often.  I work with Emerson PLC's daily (RX3i's) and have done large biogas/refinery projects with their DCS's. Their PLC's are somewhat OK minus the way they do PLC redundancy (You have to download on both PLC's separately every time you make a change )  As for their DCS's... you'll be limited financially first before anything else stops you. Costs are exorbiant at roughly 10x what it would cost you to do with any other system (e.g AB PAC).  1990's, those suckers are brand new haha! Kraft-Heinz (An old client when I use to work for an ESP) still runs Siemens TI505 PLC's from the mid 80's. Ohh how I don't miss working with those... you could only do a certain number of online downloads until it's "Change" buffer would be full and you would then need to go offline to do a full download. There was no warning of when this was coming up and it generally would happen when you would go in at 2am to make changes before production -_-.

      Unfortunately, not only is that not the case, one of the main "Selling points" of safety over comms is they clearly state in writing that there's no need to segregate safety networks from non-safety networks. It always gets intermingled with everything else on an ICS/OT network.

      SR20 to cefiro

      By KKaplumbaa · Posted

      Hello. I have an a31 cefiro but since I am in Turkey we have a CA20S engine. I did some research. Then I found that I can swap with a ca18 but when I heard that it has the similar substructure as the s13. I thought I can swap with an sr20 because the sr20 was used with the s13. So can I easily swap the sr20 on my cefiro or is it difficult?
