Pump installed with the pickup screen welded on. We aren't giving it a chance to fail. My son notice the oil pan baffle was loose on 2 spot welds so he re-tacked them when he did the oil pump pickup. We have a "fancy" one piece oil pan gasket...

Well I am going with a Chevy BIG Block oil pump on the SB 400. After looking at "Origin of Manufacture" for the Melling M55HV, it is from......everyone can guess....................C H I N AThe new pump is a Melling M99HVS. It only came stock...

I love these kinds of comparisons! Will EFI outperform the tried and true carburetor? Any more and we’re gonna end up with Marty having his own motortrend show, good luck tonight, in for results.

Good luck Marty!

Well I got all of the trailer lights mounted, wired and tested. I am quite happy with the results and they will be beneficial for my son's and friends if they need to use the trailer, but most useful at the end of the night at the track, when we...

Send a log and I'll take a look at it.

Finally got the motor pulled out on April 3rd and haven’t had the time to get it on an engine stand quite yet. But hopefully this weekend I can start wrenching on it again and start to see the failure point on this thing after taking it all...

A good remote tune is fine, it will always leave some on the table vs the dyno so unless you are trying to get every inch you can you are fine. I have seen many many bad tunes from shops with dyno's and remote tuners who do great tunes. Most of...

2 of my 3 cars have remote tunes, as a reference, and they both worked out good.

If you have the money, the shop will be glad to take it. Remote tunes, when done as precisely as possible, are almost as good as a true dyno tune, depending on the tuner.

Yes that’s a VERY good deal on a VERY reliable VERY fun turbo:)

Hurt? No. Help at the 16G power level? Also no. The stock head with stock sized valves is capable of much more than 500hp.The rest of your setup is also good for more than 500. A stock manual transmission, which is basically all that there is...

I see you were having adjustment issues. Are you setting the TPS while watching the ECMLink program for your voltage setting to see if it is changing (mine does, from .63 up to .65 when I have the car running)? Just saying a small change is...

The factory says on page 13A-264 step 11 that the output voltage after adjusting the TPS for the IPS switching point can be between 400 - 1000 mV (0.4-1.0V) That a huge range which tells me that the ECU needs to know when the throttle start to...

Sure that one will work as will https://www.dsmtuners.com/threads/2g-tps-test-readings-need-help.79304/#post-660531Since you have a 2G TPS and the harness already has the IPS wire in it, use them. Leave the 1G TPS as the throttle stop screw...

Set it based on the IPS opening point and you won't have to worry about the TPS voltage. :)

Put a NOS TPS (not sure if legit) with @1990TSIAWDTALON bolt mod lol Definitely easier to adjust this wayTucked the injector wires under the rail. Looks cleaner

While I have been layed up with a burned hand, I could still work with some wires, so here is what I have been working on for the 20' dovetail trailer I use. Rear facing Loading Lights! :thumb: Believe me, they will be handy. I seem to always be...

This is what I use myself for all to know. Shhhh, it's super secret, secret squirrels :shhh:ROFL And I don't use washers. Just get them tight, when the TPS is in spec, but don't over tighten! Don't want to break the TPS housing.

I've never had one of those bolts fight me. Try screwing one in all by itself. How does it feel? On using them as dowels that doesn't make much sense to me. I have no idea why they have that machined end. A bolt is centered all on its own. The...
