sheeze that engine bay is tidy

just a heads up
i was told by a mechanic
if your ignition leads are contacted to each other
they can arc across through the insulation and everything
and you loose most of your good power to the spark plug

you will be able to tell if this is happening because you get like a grey powdery substance on your leads

dont know how true this is?

Not to knock your mechanic, but I think this would have a lot to do with the quality of leads you are running! BMWs for example run all their spark plug leads inside a plastic conduit... makes everything very neat and all spark plug leads contact each other for almost their full length. The conduit keeps the leads in very good condition (the conduit is a heat deflector - the spark plugs run on the exhaust side on their engines). They use wire leads that are excellent quality and last for 20 years + without any issues.

Back on track though... Boostin... I'm with Junior Jay - your CA is very neat! Good luck with getting it engineered!

thanks guys,.. really just wanted the stock turbo on while i started engineering it but it died..so i unfortunately went the kkr380 for now but i put a .64 rear housing on it to make things happen that bit earlier. After my house is built i have plans for a built motor and a 28/71R. legal first, big power later...
as for my leads, had no issues yet but when the tune happens ill have a chat with my tuner and see how it go's... thanks for the heads up...
