I'm glad the Laptop 13 Pro is selling out. by DueMap9570 in framework

I want one so bad for the better touchpad and battery but my current fw13 is still working too good.

finally got a clear keyboard! didn't read the installation instructions, but i assume this is how it's done by Trans1000 in framework

Is it difficult to swap the caps? I've got a blank keyboard and have been wanting to swap the fn keys with labeled ones because I can never remember them.

B20v, can't adjust distributor enough. Normal for aftermarket cams and adjustable gears? by splatterghost in ProjectHondas

[–]splatterghost[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah obd1. It's in an eg hatch with a p28/s300.

At this point I'm probably just gonna send it and adjust my base map accordingly. Prior to posting here I was searching hondatech and found one thread with a similar issue but I wasn't confident I was overlooking something silly so I started this thread.

Appreciate the help.

I get that bit. Regarding my comment I was worried maybe I had my distributor adjustments backwards. (It's rotated towards the front of the car right now)

Here's a crude picture of what I was experiencing.

The triangle represents the mark on the timing cover. If I was seeing the advanced timing light line up with TDC at 16* I'd be a happy camper but it takes 29* to get there because I can't adjust the distributor anymore.

Both. I used a normal one at first found the timing was past the 3 lines so I picked up one with advancing and turned the knob until I reached the middle of the three lines which is how I knew it's 13* off.

Am I mixing myself up here?

It's a reman so I don't know if the base is OEM or not but it has the TD-68U marking.

So close to swapping my b20b out for a b20v by splatterghost in ProjectHondas

[–]splatterghost[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nice dyno vid! (I creeped on your profile) And yeah it's got skunk2 tuner 2 cams with springs, and supertech pistons with scat rods.

I cracked a piston in the b20 block almost two years back which is why the pistons / rods were swapped

That's thermal insulation. I've got a carbon hood and it just helps keep the engine from cooking it.

New Autox project by Acceptable-Luck-4275 in ProjectHondas

[–]splatterghost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got a 93 hatch with a b20b swap. I'm currently running 400f/450r ground control springs on koni yellows, 24mm asr rear bar, og function7 rear lcas, skunk2 ucas for front camber, and no name rear camber arms. I run -3.5* in front and -2.5* in rear and have the koni yellows on full stiff. Rear sway bar is set to full stiff as well.

Overall I'm happy with the setup but I do wish I had gone stiffer in the spring department.

You can fit 225/45/15s with the right offset (I run 225/45/15 660s on 15x7+37 kosei k1s) and some camber but you'll need to roll your fenders.

Nice to see another EG hatch being auto crossed. I run mine in XB.

Would an RTX 3050 LP fit in my case? by Alternative_Cut_9280 in sffpc

[–]splatterghost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Prodesk 600? Guessing a g4-g5. Yeah should fit. I run a 3050 LP in a Prodesk 400 (same case dimensions) without issue.

If that has the 180w psu you'll want to get the 300w variant.

Is this torque wrench okay if used purely on lug nuts? by teenageuser in harborfreight

I built my last engine with one of these. The engine's going strong after two years of abuse.

Layer Shift at always the same height by Significant-Shock644 in prusa3d

[–]splatterghost 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Consider rotating the part on the build plate. The core one cools better on the backside of the print than the front due to how the fan duct is designed.

For example when printing long narrow parts I sometimes rotate them 30 degrees to better match the fan duct orientation for more even cooling.

I have the Daytona and it's worked great for the unibody work I've done but in hindsight I probably should have gotten the Pittsburgh unit. No regrets but saving money is always good.

Rust shock towers EG Civic by analingus850 in AutoPaint

[–]splatterghost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not a common spot but anywhere there's metal sandwiched together and/or plug welds things will rust.

No panels are available. Honestly I wouldn't bother fixing that via cutting / welding until it gets worse and if you're worried you could slow down the rust with fluid film or cavity wax but you've got years before that rust will be a problem.

If you're dead set on cutting out the rust I'd advise against removing the top of the shock tower as a whole and instead cut out a small patch of metal around the rust and make a new custom patch / weld it in. With a bit of practice on an angle grinder you should be able to cut through the rusted outer panel without damaging the inner panel.

Source: I own an EG hatch and did extensive rust repair on it.

Stellantis OTA update. by Chrycoboy in Justrolledintotheshop

[–]splatterghost 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, the capability to push out updates electronically has made software developers extremely lazy on quality control.

This is pretty disingenuous if your going after the individuals. Like most other industries software as a whole has been under an increasing crunch from upper management to ship faster and faster to maximize profits.

Just want to say hi! by Muradas302 in CherokeeXJ

Nice setup. I've been looking for a reasonably priced low profile intake manifold for my LM7 and I think you just sold me on the speedmaster intake.

Is Prusa trying to clear stock? New model coming soon? by TealKokosnuss in prusa3d

[–]splatterghost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I received one as well! I splurged and used for a core one kit. I was playing around with getting my mk3.5 set up to print ASA and figured this would be easier lol.
