Re: B18FT Switching to a different fuel injection system

As far as I know, there are about 15 such cars in Russia, and I've noticed that people in the city stare at me when I drive, and even the police stop to ask about my car. Thank you for rea...

Re: B18FT Switching to a different fuel injection system

Hi, Martin! You won't believe it, but it's easier to find spare parts in Europe than it is in Siberia, and I've been restoring my swallow for 7 years. For the past 3 years, it's been sitting idle, waiting for me to find the time and resources to complete the project. I'm slowly progressing towards m...

Almost all athletes use this ECU on their different cars and engines, and the sensors are much cheaper and can be purchased at any s...

B18FT Switching to a different fuel injection system

Hello everyone! I would like to present you with an option to switch from the standard LH 2.2 Jetronic injection system to the January 5.1 system. I won't go into detail about what this system is, but I will say that it is installed in Lada cars, and the basis of the ECU is Bosch. The system can be ...

Re: Ignition

Hi! The valve is located at least on my main line under the hood, it is not large at the right cup (rack), it changes quickly, it should not cost much.

Re: Heated rear screen

Re: Info & Pics of the Japanese market 480s!

I think my car was for Japan, since the stickers are in the under-hood space and where there are wines, in Japanese and the sticker about the passage is also Japanese.

Re: 480 Turbo Exhaust

hello everyone!
tell me, of course, I don't understand something, what is the problem to make a completely stainless steel exhaust from a 56 pipe, and pick up the exhaust according to the sound from the tuning? it will be longer lasting and better.

Re: Rear lamp Seals / Marker light seals / Headlamp Hinges / knobs / clips / Footwell lamps /Roller Blind

This is a brilliant service! You may have seen from my recent post, that my car is immobilised due to a broken clutch cable retainer - the bit that attaches the cable to the pedal. On early cars this was plastic, later metal, so obviously a weak point initially. These are like rocking horse droppin...

Re: Rear lamp Seals / Marker light seals / Headlamp Hinges / knobs / clips / Footwell lamps /Roller Blind

I wonder if you can send it to non-EU countries? to Russia, for example? I would take the seals for the rear lights, the keychain is black with red stitching, and the seals for the side ones.
