1 week update. No real change

Will this work? Need something that flows enough for 400 whp. I have a cobb SF currently which is 2.75". It came with a 3" silicone reducer which goes down to stock k04 size. I read that it does flow better than stock: My inlet pipe is CPE 4" that reduces to 3". My question is what will the...

Roger. Do you think I should fully submerge it or leave some of the contact sticking out?

Well the little brown spot hasn't changed. I found the resistance values in the 2010 manual and it seems to match almost perfectly. 20ohms at full and 400 empty. I've never converted from 2k ohms before on the DMM. If I understand it right you just take away the decimal? Then its 15 and 410 ohm...

Good idea. I have now put a cap on it although it's not covered all the way. Some of the e evaporated as the level was lower today. I noticed what appears to be a small rust spot on the negative contact. Not entirely sure yet. It's hard to see. In the middle of the contact on the left.

Alright got a nice juicy update :) Got the sender in and it's sitting in e85 now. I tested the metal parts with a magnet and it appears the contacts are not magnetic which means it could be stainless. The rod is magnetic though but only half strength. So it appears this unit might work out. I...

I did some googling and it appears soldering can raise the resistance some. It has higher resistance than copper. But it could be so little that it is negligible. Also this could mean the Toyota sender could be off too.

Ohh I see

To combat corrosion of the gen 2 fuel level sender form ethanol I have found some alternatives to test. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09C8FPLGM/ This is for a Yaris but it looks very similar. I ordered it and will do some testing to see if it corrodes. Not exactly sure how to properly test it yet...

I'm glad the solder has worked for you! I guess this info could also be useful to others. I'm not experiencing problems yet as I'm on 93 but will be at least e30 in the future. I heard all gen 2's have this problem. My guess is they used cheaper metal for the sensor such as mild steel that...

I found a possible solution which is using the Rockauto Delphi whole assembly. The description sounds very promising. If you google Delphi there are mixed reviews. I'm thinking it should work fine. Full description here: https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=8733236&cc=1502914&pt=10147...

Great thread! The Energy Suspension boot tip helped me out! Got any pointers on how to easily line up the control arm pinch flanges so the bolt will go through?

Plastigauged the rods and they came out to .0015. I think .002 would've been better but iamareios used the same rod clearance https://mazdaspeeds.org/index.php?threads/endgame-setup-bw-s257sxe.11417/ and he's making tons of power so I'm happy. I ended up using Clevite extra clearance bearings...

I refiled new rings to .020 .024 exactly. Using a dremel :D. 3rd time I've done it with a dremel. Place it into vice and have steady hands and go slow because it works fast. The 2nd ring goes quickly but top ring takes alot longer. Then deburr with fine grit sandpaper. I used what I had laying...

Yeah the shop owner is great. Pretty much every OEM rod from all cars look like this as far as I've seen. It happened to me too lol Here my stock B18b pistons at 300 whp that bent a rod LOL. Sounds like rod knock btw

Machine shop came though and got me a new set of rings for no charge! Fuckin awesome. Assembled the pistons. Installing the snap rings was a piece of cake. I used a pick and pried on the clip using leverage by placing the pick end in the little cutout. Also coated with lots of Lucas assembly...

The more I read about ring gaps, the more I think it will be ok. I might just slap these in as they are. .022 and .023 is perfectly fine for the top with high boost. and .028 is fine for bot as well. Although I think .0026 would've been better but what can ya do? One weird thing though is one of...

Ok got the rings back. He remeasured and assured me it was ok. Although I'm getting different readings than he is. I did make a mistake the first time which I guess lead to the wild readings. This time I used an old piston with the first ring removed and 2nd still there. He said I could use this...

Dropped off the block and rings to the machine shop and he said he will check it. :thumbsup:

I'll ask the shop. They didn't tell me about tolerances. Seems the max is .039. Stock is hilariously tight. Before the rebuild the motor had cracked ringlands and a spun bearing. :) So remeasured again at 1" down and seems I can make them all even at .028 top .032 bot.
