Typically this is caused by a lean fuel mixture caused by either the timing or jetting in the carb is too small. Start by checking your initial timing. If it's correct I'd start checking the fuel mixture.
I would say it all depends on your intake and exhaust system. I run mine with stock headers, nismo duel rai and 60mm invidia n1 exhaust...runs great with stock headers.. remember, just because it is aftermarket does not mean better...
The exhaust manifold is the header that starts at the piping on the driver's side of the engine and runs back out to the exhaust.
Take the EXHAUST PIPES loose from the engine where they bolt to the exhaust manifolds and pull them down alittle. Then start the engine and see if it runs better.
Yes, but is may require the use of the intake and exhaust manifolds from your 1997 engine. The headers to be reused will need to be milled flat by a machine shop to ensure they are flat and will seal properly. I have a 1994 SC2 running a 1998 DOHC engine from a wrecked SL2, runs like a champ, but I did have to reuse my 1994 manifolds. Good Luck
Rear of engine, underneath the exhaust manifold. you can follow the coolant line (approx. 2") tha runs underneath your engine, then runs up the back of the engine, up to the thermostat.
well a 460, or 7.5 L in a truck runs at 28-33 Ft Lbs. Should be about the same in a motor home.
Do you see white smoke coming out of your exhaust , even when the engine is warmed up ? If so , it could be a bad head gasket , a warped head , or a cracked head
The catalytic converters are in the exhaust pipe that runs under the engine. There are two. Some California models had additional converters mounted to the exhaust manifolds.
The driver side exhaust crosses over to the passenger side via a 'crossover pipe' which runs under the front of the engine under the harmonic balancer. It joins the passenger side exhaust at the turbo inlet. The turbo is driven by all the exhaust gas from both cylinder banks.
No the turbo runs off of exhaust, then forces the compressed air through the engine.
Yes, you can put headers on and use your existing carburator. You may, however, want or need to tune it, depending on how it runs after the headers are installed.
The pipe that runs from the exhaust manifold to the air cleaner intake is commonly referred to as the exhaust heat riser or heat stove pipe. Its purpose is to channel warm air from the exhaust manifold to the air cleaner, aiding in the vaporization of fuel in cold weather to improve engine performance during startup. This system helps prevent carburetor icing and ensures smoother engine operation in low-temperature conditions.
