    Bleeding lifters

    I’ve bled down my lifters for years using various solvents, oils, ultrasonic cleaner, etc. Went to install a set of new gsc lifters today and noticed that their install sheet said something quite the opposite of the standard procedure I’ve used for 10+ years now...

    Anyone into Sim racing?

    Well I’m not, but I just finished up my sim rig and figured I’d post it for anyone who is into sim racing. I’d be happy to share design, materials, cost, my experience with various parts( though it’s not much so far). I got really into formula 1 this year with the Netflix release and started...

    Electrical noise suppression

    Not sure how many electrical gurus are left around the forums but I figured I would post up for advice. I've spent north of 100 hrs planning out a mil spec wiring harness for my car and I have finally obtained everything needed to start. The harness will be concentrically twisted with shielded...

    For Sale WTT/WTS Weldon 2345-A

    I understand not many people in the dsm community are in the market for a $1,200 fuel pump but I figured I'd see if anyone has anything interesting to trade. A guy local to me had this pump and made, literally, a few passes on it. He said he was having trouble with his fuel system and sent it...

    2G Intake manifolds: JMF billet or Magnus

    We have very little data floating around about these two manifolds. Does anyone have any recent dyno graphs or general input they would like to contribute about either of these manifolds? I’ve seen all the initial flow bench data on the JMF so no need to link it, but I’ve heard very little...

    2G Looking for shops who do cnc head porting

    As the title states I’m looking for someone with a 5 axis program for 2g heads. I’ve tried fox lake, m2 race systems, English racing, Boostin, Jackson auto machine, basically all of the typical vendors here. Magnus claims they do but I’m sure it’s for a 1g head and it’s also 3500 dollars with...

    Blueprinting/Engine Assembling Spreadsheet

    Are there any new 3rd and 4th gear options?

    I saw today where Magnus is teasing a new billet front section for our transfer case which I am thrilled about but has brought me to wonder if anyone has discovered an alternative aside from an auto or dogbox to our 3rd and 4th gears. We now have bulletproof everything except transmissions...

    Differences between NHRA and road race cages

    I'm at the point in my build where its time to get a cage and i've got some questions for any experienced cage builders/people who have taken the time to actually study current rules.

    Torque plate gasket

    Very basic question. Machine shop just called and asked me for a gasket to use with my torque plate. I'm going to be using a felpro mls on this engine but I'm not terribly confident I feel comfortable reusing the gasket after being torqued down for machine work. I have a cometic mls at home...

    2G Tire-spindle clearance

    I just got some 235 nankang ns2-r's mounted on my 18x8.5, +46 gram lights. I expected it would require spacers, which it does, however due to the fact that the nankangs run about 10% wider than their advertised size, this has become a bit of a hassle.This is the clearance I've got with 7mm...

    Negative effects of using a wider tire than wheel

    Those not interested in having their time wasted can skip to the bold part of the thread. I recently pulled my wheels off to do some light suspension work to find this. So new tires are in order. Because I am in my senior year of college i'm fairly broke right now so the budget is pretty...

    I rarely post anymore due to the outrageous amount of topics that have been covered on the forum but this one has me in a bind.

    I just got done doing a bse and timing job last night and i went out to crank my car up this morning and test everything and it ran for about 45 seconds at 100 psi oil pressure. I reved it a little bit to see if my gauge was working and the needle wouldnt move so i turned the car off and...

    Do I need to have my head resurfaced for felpro hg?

    I'm sorry if this has been answered already. I've searched several threads and everyone says that when you get a mls head gasket you have to have your head resurfaced to ensure a good seal. Since I'm going to be installing an evo 3 16g soon I figured while I was at it I would install a new...

    Free reving under boost

    Ok i searched and diddnt really find anything... Sometimes (normally in the morning) my car will simply free rev when boost kicks in. I guess my best description would be that it feels like the clutch is slipping without the smell. It does it in all gears and only at 75%+ throttle. My afr's...
