**1989se-i** · 10-01-2002, 10:33 AM

Im trying it after skool. If youd dont hear from me before midnight, youll know what happened ( :flame: <ME>

)

Fuck. I got all the parts, they all werk.

BUT. Ive been trying to drill a hole in my exhaust tip, but it wont go through!!! I got 1 cm hole.... but the drill bit melted... HELP!!!!

**Stew** · 10-01-2002, 02:23 PM

You need a carbide or titanium drill bit to go thru steel. Any parts store should have one.($2)

yeah 9/16" sounds right for a spark plug... take some pics when you have it all together.

lol @ god.... i'm not a god just a guy thats been cutting his knuckles on cars and spending every last cent on em for way too long!

I Got the frickin plug in yey!

Alls I gotsa do now is wire it.

Stew: On the coil, does it spark when it gets voltage?

How do i wire this? + straight to the battery, - to the batter with a switch on it? So when i flick the swicth, the circuit is complete, and causes it to spark? :-/ Do i put the pos on the chassis..., help

Yes the coil sparks when it gets voltage!

This is where the relay comes into play. You ar not putting a hot circuit straight fom the battery to the coil and back to a switch, this is pretty dangerous.

Instead you use a standard 5 point relay with 12V battery power and a chassis ground, and from that relay to the coil and then the last 2 points go to a switch.

Think of it like this on each relay point:

- 12V source
- Ground
- Power to coil
- Pos to toggle switch
- Neg to toggle switch

When you flip the switch the relay allows 12V past it and to the coil.

Sorry bout the water mark... All I gotta do is wire the switch :p

**1989se-i** · 10-01-2002, 04:02 PM

Please dont make fun of my muffler

hehe

**1989se-i** · 10-01-2002, 04:33 PM

Allright Stew, I gotsa problem.

Im getting no spark. Heres how i tried it: Pos is grounded to heat shield. I ran a wire from the neg to the neg on the bat. I know the coil werks, tested it in my car, i checked the sparkplug wire, its fine, and the sparkplug is brand new, gapped to about 50.

Any suggestions?

**Stew** · 10-01-2002, 05:09 PM

youve heatshild is NOT a ground!

I would also recomend taking power off a switched power source not the battery so that it can flip on by accident when the car is shut off (your cigaret lighter should do the job).

**1989se-i** · 10-01-2002, 05:10 PM

Ok, got the biatch to spark. But no ignition. Regapped it to 60, sparks, but no ignition, even when i rev to 5K

**1989se-i** · 10-01-2002, 05:12 PM

stew? help?! hehehe

**1989se-i** · 10-01-2002, 05:14 PM

Yea, im going to finish the wiring job when i get it to ignite...

could i be getting a weak spark cause its not grounded properly, thereby casuing it not to ignite?

**Stew** · 10-01-2002, 05:14 PM

Prolly the exhaust

with a cat and a stock muffler not much unburned fuel is going to escape.

time for a new exhaust system sans cat.

**1989se-i** · 10-01-2002, 05:18 PM

Me thinks we were on at the same time :-p

What happens if i plug up the other exhaust tip? will the exhaust be more concentrated in the other tip?

**monsonhonda** · 10-01-2002, 05:24 PM

stupid question, but couldnt you use a starter for a gas grill?

***A20A1*** · 10-01-2002, 05:33 PM

it may not have enough spark... I used to shock my friends with those... and watch their muscles spazzz!

**1989se-i** · 10-02-2002, 12:55 PM
