Re: 93 Escudo auto no spark

My guess was an issue powering the coil while cranking but I did not think they had ballast resistors still . Alas you say you swapped it out . I would say put a light or multimeter on the positive on the coil and see if you have light/voltage with ign on and then with starter cranking . If it drops...

Re: Converting a Disco 2 from 5-speed to Auto

The td5 is no power house but I was happy with the chipped td5 power , mind you I was not trying to make it make power below 2000rpm . Not saying it did not have any but it just seemed happy in the 2 to 3g range . To be fair my old torque converter was a bit sad so no direct comparison to a good fac...

Crash are you sure these turbo's are ball bearing turbo's ? Do not anything about them but they look like a plain bearing type of turbo to me .

Do you think the extra 100mm in the rod end adapter put more leverage on the threaded end on the arm , thus not helping the cause ? Clint has not had an issue from his reports , still no point in doing something that is not ip to the job .

Take a pic of the top of the engine so I can see if its an a or b . Look at the block and see if it is a g16a or g16b . G16a can be 8v carbed , tbi or multi point injection .

You could have a g16a loom and ecu . There are differences between g16a and g16b , without digging out the diagrams thou I cant be sure .
If I get enthusiastic I will turn on the laptop and see if I can match the wires you talk about .

They way you drive it will break axles and generally having a front locker means you can take things a lot easier than without it . What you will notice is cornering will be affected by th...
