So I've been seeing some mixed information lately I've always been under the understanding that the 626 manifold is inferior to the VICS with VTCS removed. Lately I've been seeing a lot of mixed information. I've been seeing the 626 Mani getting quite a lot of hype and I get it. Straight...

bruh...I bow to thee...

So I've got this SSAFC I have the Data Sheet from the SS website but it's incomplete as to what all the wire leads are for. I still have four orange wires that I'm assuming are for Auxiliary Inputs...buuutt.....I'm unsure as to what can be used as "auxiliary inputs" Also where does this...

See, I didn't think the cams were so aggressive that the ECU wouldn't be compatible. I mean if you can drop a ZE engine into an auto car and it run (Albeit not at full potential), but still run without issue...I SHOULD BE ABLE TO RUN THESE CAMS. This is correct way to install gears correct?

Cams, spot on. Crank is spot in. Stock Ecu, yes

SO I rebuilt my engine. It's in spec It's in time I've checked Then I checked again Then again, and again and again.... Started the engine....blowing exhaust out the intake, stumbles, dies Retimed the engine. checked timing Check again And again and again Started engine....still doing same...

Well, it's NA for the time being .020" overbore forged pistons K1 forged rods competition valve cut ZE cams but it won't ever see above the stock rev limit, so I'm guessing they should do just fine.

I have a NEW set of hydraulic lifters I can use in my rebuild. Really just to save cost on buying new shims for the OE lifters. Especially when I have 16 brand new, never used, self adjusting lifters right here. Just curious if they'll cause me any problems...

Are the Hydraulic Self adjusting lifters from the older generation engines compatible with...say...the newer FS09 head? Or are they incompatible and they MUST use the Solid Shim-on-tappet design for lifters?

is the picture working?

So...I've got this full gasket set for my rebuild. NA FS-DE out of a Pro5, and I've got a little baggie here of O-Rings. I've ordered them in a picture from biggest to smallest, and I want to say the Biggest one is for the Oil Pickup tube, as it fits well into the recess in the bottom of the oil...

So I've seen where everybody has the same consensus...go with ARP Head Studs, hands down. But...what about the main bolts? I can see why the TTY Head bolts Vs. ARP Studs isn't even an argument, but do the main studs REALLY offer benefit beyond the OE Main bolts, or is it just for peace of...

bump...anybody have info on this?

So I'll se in old movies an actor will pull an unfiltered cigarette from a pack, and lick the end of it before sticking it in their mouth. What's the purpose for this? I'm not talking licking the whole thing long ways to make it burn slower, i'm talking about just the end they stick in their...

So I'm coming up short, literally. When I attempt to install the roof rack into the receiver rail that was on the car, meant to take a factory rail...it keeps coming up that the crossbars are a 1/2 to short to bolt down. Wtf...

*sigh* This build is becoming a headache...a serious PAIN IN MY A$$ Ever since this protege spun a rod bearing it's been an uphill struggle ever since!! Got the engine apart. Took block to machine shop, they're waiting on me, and I'm waiting on Pistons Ordered a NEW crank from a Probe. No...

Yeah, apparently nobody has love for us auto guys. Folks fear what they don't understand (shrug)(smash)

A while back...and it's been a while, there was a guy with a midnight blue automatic Anne he did A LOT of research on the auto trans. I'm having trouble finding his old build thread and although I'm sure the question of whether or not the msp differential is compatible gets asked a lot. I'm more...

What's the difference in tranny shift forks between msp and base protege. I've got two shift forks here can't remember what the they came out of, one was p5 other was msp, and I'm having trouble identifying for reassembly

So I tried searching google and the forums and apparently there's not a lot of info on our fn4a-el automatic transaxle. Now I'm going with a Lentech build, but I'm curious. I find plenty of info on changing axles and upgrading the manual axles but I'm falling short in my quest for upgraded axles...
