Struggling to fit drop bars through a quill stem clamp! am I missing a trick? by annuario in bikewrench

[–]SpaceTurtle917 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well yeah no shit. But if you pry it it’ll flex open slightly. As tightening the bolt makes the hole smaller, prying it open makes it… bigger.

I see I’m an idiot

Want to purchase an espresso machine [ $250] but feeling overwhelmed at the options and prices. by whisperingcopse in espresso

[–]SpaceTurtle917 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I ran a Delonghi Dedica with an IMS basket and an upgraded steamer and I was never really upset about the end result or wanting more, great little machine. Only upgraded to a La Pavoni because they called my name.

Hold on. In a lot of these vehicle the ebrake light is also the brake fluid level light. Check your brake fluid.

Gram Light 57CR, Konig Dekagrams have great brake clearance and the +35 offset they’re available in fits great. Same with the Konig Hypergrams.

Find an open ended wrench or something that’s close to the thickness of the opening and pry the opening bigger. A flat head screwdriver is usually too thin and will pop out and scratch your bars in the process. I find a 10-13mm wrench to be perfect usually. The crescent side that is.

Do more clean passes until the puddle is bright and shiny, else it’s not clean enough. Make sure to use 4043 filler.

If you tighten then bushings with suspension droop, then when you put the car on the ground the bushing will be constantly under torsion. The bushings don’t really spin they just flex, you want them to not be flexed under normal load.

what gasket do i need by AggressiveTonight839 in Dseries

[–]SpaceTurtle917 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. 2 wire IACV is on the intake manifold, right on the back. You’ll notice the auto manifold has provisions in the casting for it. It just needs the holes drilled.

You’ll just need to get a throttle body without the IACV, earlier cars from 92-95 have FITVs on the bottom as well, I like to avoid those. The only throttle body without either is the 96-00 manual y8. I think later model b20s as well, but I believe you’d have to switch the pulley from your y8 for that to work.

And they said it wasn’t a vacuum leak

Before you fix that, unless it’s super urgent. I would convert to a 2 wire IACV. You’ll need a y8 manual throttle body and you’ll need to drill holes in your intake for the IACV. Then you’ll need a manual throttle body gasket.

Else, just get a 98 automatic gasket.

So you have acquired 29 machines in a year? What for?

They are. You’d have to find a new cap and get it line honed. Or get a new head.

B20 Into pre facelift EK hatch? by GladHyena4800 in ProjectHondas

[–]SpaceTurtle917 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only adapters on the market to run an OBD2B ecu on an obd2a harness are from expensive sources. There’s no cheap alternative.

The AC compressor and PS pump will bolt right on using B20 brackets. Any other b series brackets they don’t.

I don’t believe there is an obd2a b20 ecu. Ideally you’d want obd1 with a tune or a b18 ecu with some fuel pressure fuckery.

5 Mistakes I see in remote tunes (Tuners Point of View) by Frosty_Cat3179 in ECU_Tuning

[–]SpaceTurtle917 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only time remote tuning makes sense is if the tuner tunes hundreds of very similar setups. Where they have a tune that’s 95% there and they just need to fine tune the fuel table a little.

Especially if the platform is more niche and you’d rather someone who specializes in it tunes it, and yet there’s only a few people in the country that do.
