Sandy, The MAT sensor and atmospheric pressure sensor are mounted on an aluminum bracket between 1 and 2 cylinder throttle bodies. I normally run an air filter, an ITG that covers all 8 throttle bodies. The 2 sensors measure conditions inside the air filter. No MAP sensor. Maps are throttle...

Sandy, I had the Haltech maps set up on a dyno 2 years before the car was on the road. I've put about 15K miles on it since it hit the road. No problems other than getting water in the TPS while washing the engine. It didn't like that at all... I would offer that it is very difficult to set...

Sandy, Here's a couple of pictures of my setup. The swirlpot is attached to the "battery" cover that fits over the unused space on the left rocker of the car behind the fuel tank. The Aeromotive pump is mounted on rubber absorbers attached to the topside of the cover. The Walbro pumps are both...

Jimmy, I started out with 2 A-1000's and destroyed them within 4000 miles due to fuel starvation on braking with under 1/2 tank of fuel. They don't care much for fuel starvation, even if only for a few seconds. It adds up..... I've since changed to 2 Walbro pumps, one for each tank, feeding a...

Here's some interesting facts that John Brady from Powermaster emailed me before I removed the alternator from the car. I was a bit concerned at how hot the alternator seemed to run when installed and knew it would get hotter yet being in a mid engine car tucked that closely to the firewall...

I installed the Powermaster alternator more than a year ago and have had excellent results...until a week ago. While on a ride, I noticed the voltmeter in the car was reading just over 12 volts instead of 13.8 volts. Soon, the alternator light started blinking on and off. A check with a...

Re: 1/4\" audio plug for Battery Tender As an alternative if you desire to use jumper cables on the car, I purchased red and black power studs from Waytek, installed them so one end of the studs sticks out of the battery box just in front of the rear wheel, and protected them with screw on...

John, The ERA manual has a section on flipping the ZF. You can get it at http://erareplicas.com/download.htm#manual by clicking on the ERA GT selection. A factory manual on the ZF is also very helpful. I got mine off of ebay. Pantera specialist like Hall and others sell them too. Working on...

I'm running about 10.2:1 static compression on 91-93 octane with no problems. Mild hydraulic roller cam, cast iron 2V Cleveland heads, EFI. Static compression is only part of the equation. Cam size and timing, ignition timing, consistant fuel/air delivery to each cylinder, combustion chamber...

Ron, If I were to use compression fittings, I'd use Swagelok brand. If.... We use them on air, steam, water, hydraulic, etc. at work with great success. They use a double ferrule design that you <u>do not</u> tighten until it wont go any further. There is a spec for tightening amount. They...

I agree...to a point. My aluminum flywheel probably weighs in at 15 lbs or so. Not 5 lbs. It is also a 10 1/2" single plate clutch, not a 7 " or smaller multi plate unit. My engine makes torque at reasonable rpms. It doesn't have to be screamed up to 4K to not stall when the clutch is...

<font color="blue"> Speaking for my ERA only....</font> Does both halfs of the tanks have a feed and a return line? <font color="blue"> Yes. I'm using AN-8 supply and AN-6 return lines.</font> Is there only one fuel gauge on the dash? <font color="blue"> No, there are two gauges, one...

Bill, Mine is externally balanced with a 28 oz steel counterbalance weight. McLeod makes the weight bolt in so you can remove it for an internally balanced engine. You are correct about the rate of acceleration of the engine. I had to set up a shift LED about 200 rpm below redline (400 rpm...

Bill, I'm running a McLeod 157 tooth aluminum flywheel. No problems with street driving, idling, or other. Dave

May or may not be the same mold Ron, don't know for sure. I do know when I sent them back to Jongbloed in 2001 or 2002 to have the 17" rims spun, they noted that the rims were theirs (Jongbloed), but the centers were not. Here's what the inside looks like... I learned from Peter at...

I have I guess what you would call kind a "composite" wheel. Bill Jongbloed produced several sets of BRM style wheels in the 90's. They used a cast aluminum center (which I understand ERA owns the mold for now), and Jongbloed spun aluminum rims. The set I bought were 16x9.5 fronts and 16x12...

Denis, I had my EFI maps set up with the engine on a dyno. It was very easy to understand how difficult this would be doing on the street as the engine would "strain" at being held at 3K, 4K, 5K, or whatever rpm, as the throttle was slowly opened to WOT. The engine loads/rpms could be...

I didn't look for any part numbers and only have the two shots of the tanks as they sat on the floor. I've attached a close up of the info on one of the tanks from those picts. The tanks are made of a heavy plastic type material with foam inside. The two of them plus the fuel filler pipes...

ERA uses Fuel Safe cells although the address on the cell is California. It appears to be a different company than Howard refers to since their website gives an address in Redmond, Or. Here are a couple of pics I took while they were out. The writing on the cell is difficult to read from the...

Paul, ERA uses this type fuel sender feeding SW gauges. They work fine. I did have one fail where the readings got flakey and unrepeatable on it, but the one on the other tank and the replacement for the intermittent one have worked flawlessly. Here's a few more links: one two
