Franks Eight Six

Here's how my car was when i last got pictures:





Since then i've sold the wheels and picked up a few parts including:

- 20v 4age
- Oem metal wind defelctors
- Cusco 6 point cage
- New wheels being sourced for me in Japan.

Ill keep this updated as i go about my 20v swap and whatever other parts i pick up along the way. All opinions welcome

I'm also swaping a 20V.... how did you managed to do about the water routes?!

16V water pump?

RSchita kit?

You made your own?

I'm in the process of ordering the Impulse water line through a local supplier here in Ireland.

Here's some pictures i was mailed of the Impulse kit:

Yep that's the plan, It's tucked up in my garage at the minute waiting on it's new parts.

Well... i just don't like the way they are making the water routes.....

I've used the 16v water pump. With an adapter in the back (for the piece in the 16v block).

I just need the upper neck for the radiator!!!!! Can't find anything suitable....

The RSchita would be nice, but i don't need the kit..... Just the upper neck piece.....

The impulse kit is the one that was recommended to me, The way i look at it is if its good enough for impulse its good enough for me haha Ill see how it goes when it arrives anyway

Next issue is the distributor relocation kits. i had planned on running COP but the cash flow inst up to the task of paying for a mapable ECU just yet. I've been reading some people have had issues with excessive wear caused by the relocation kit's has anyone got any experience with this?

I had/have COP on OE ECU and would advise against it personally.
I've had big issues recently with wiring and could suggest it's been from the OE ECU with COPs.

(as such, I have the Coil pack loom and 8 coils to punt on )

Aftermarket is definetly the way forward with COP.

In terms of Dizi reloc, I would go for the S-86.com kit.
It works in direct action to the exhaust cam where others work by a series of belts and pulleys, which DO wear...and frankly look ugly!
Sam Q offers very good support for the kit and Magnecor charge nothing extra over the off the shelf kit (Lead 4 is longer than original due to dizi position).

I've bought the relocator from Samuel too.....

Excelent quality. The best customer service ever. And it looks cool

That's what i'm using

Had a chat with Sam the other day about it, That's for sure the kit I'm going with. Later one down the line the plan is to switch so COP with a mappable ECU.
