    Your most recent welding pics

    I've only done about a few dozen welds since I got my welder, and this is my first weld on stainless. T304 Stainless welded with Miller 140 (110v), .030 tip and stainless wire on trigas. This is a Megan Racing downpipe with the two bolt flange cut off and a 2.5" v-band clamp welded on. The...

    pte 5558 vs fp green hta

    Coupe Nasty,I have run both the PTE 5557E (HTA Journal Bearing), and the Green XL back to back. The 57 and 58 are VERY close in terms of performance. Here are my findings:Both turbos were able to push over 47 Lbs/Min of air on 93 octane pump gas. Both turbos were very similar in...

    HX40 upgrade, BAE 7 blade 62mm compressor wheel

    OP,I know that you have a 'quick spool' valve in your setup. Are you sure that the valve isn't restricting exhaust flow? Are you sure it's at 90 degrees when fully open? Are you sure there isn't a leak in the exhaust housing? Any one of these could explain why you are losing a few...

    In the market for Black Leather Racing Seats

    Hey, guys. I'm the one who put together the writeup for the black RSX seats in the 2G. If you're thinking about going with Sparco's vs. EVO's vs. RSX seats, I would advise for either the EVO's or RSX's. I've spent the obscene amount of money that Sparco wanted in the past for seats, and the...

    Do I Need A Bigger Turbo(power goals has changed)

    Great list. I'd throw a Magnus intake manifold and bigger throttle body in there as well.OP: Kelfords 272's are great cams, but you have springs and retainers, so 288's would be an option. It's just giving you an easier path to 400WHP. The FP manifold is also amazing.Or, instead of all...

    76HTA Dyno - 93 vs. WW Fluid vs. Meth!

    No worries. One incurs the other. If I run more timing than the car will allow, I get knock. If I run more boost, I get knock. If I ran 25.5 PSI on pump gas, I would have had to drop the timing by 4 degrees, would have still made 350~ wheel, and my EGT's would be much higher. It's not all...

    Mike is dead on. I couldn't go more than 22PSI at 10 degrees of timing advance on pump, and 42 lb/min of air. It was the same on the street. The 60/40 meth got me 45.x lb/min on the dyno with 13 degrees advance, and 47.x lb/min on the street with the same advance. AFR on pump was 11.5 across...

    76HTA Dyno - 93 vs. WW Fluid vs. Meth!

    Close. The 76 starts to spool EARLY. Like in the mid 2's early. It's a very streetable turbo. It reaches peak boost by 4,000, and holds it to wherever you let off. I've had it as high as 8,200 RPM, but it doesn't make much power up there due to my cams and intake manifold. In 5th gear, it...

    76HTA Dyno - 93 vs. WW Fluid vs. Meth!

    Unfortunately, no. Bob's RPM pickup didn't like the triple shielded wires I used to extend my 2G coil pack into a 1G intake manifold, so we did without. All runs were in 3rd gear, so it should be pretty easy to figure out what's what. Good luck with your 76HTA!

    76HTA Dyno - 93 vs. WW Fluid vs. Meth!

    The 2G MAF becomes unreliable above ~47 lb/min, and can't read above 50 lb/min. Sometimes it's a bit higher, sometimes lower. 2600 HZ is the hard limit according to Tom Dorris. Speed density allows for much more accurate airflow readings at those levels and above. The MAF itself can also be...

    76HTA Dyno - 93 vs. WW Fluid vs. Meth!

    Not necessarily. If you have some 272 or 280 cams, speed density, and a decent intake manifold, there is a lot more power you could get out of pump. A 2.4 stroker with this turbo would be insane on pump. If I had to do it all over again, I would go with a 2.4. One of the things I want people...

    I'm running a PTE 5557 and have had similar issues.1. Check the oil feed fitting, and make sure it's the right size, and not weeping. If it is, it can spray oil everywhere, which will eventually make its way to the exhaust, and start burning oil after a hard pull.2. Odds are you have a...

    Built a new kind of catchcan for valve cover - Let me know what you think

    The PCV valve is in the stock location. The valve cover vent line introduces fresh air into the crankcase when the PCV is open. The stock vent works as both an intake or exhast depending on the state of the PCV (open or closed). The main difference here is that once you go from boost to...

    Sure. :)The reason that this is better than the stock setup is for three reasons.1. 300% more volume than stock. 2. The ability to filter and seperate crankcase air and oil from the breather. 3. The ability to recover oil that would otherwise be pushed into the intake tract.Dual...

    Built a new kind of catchcan for valve cover - Let me know what you think

    Thanks for the kudos.The whole idea is that it should be nearly impossible for the box to be complete filled with oil. I would have to be on the turbo long enough for the system to push that much oil out of the valve cover. With this, once I let off the gas, the PCV opens and applies...

    Car pulses under acceleration not a stumble, and sounds like a STI

    You don't have to completely remove the boost control solenoid when you remove the vacuum lines to the turbo. You can just bypass it and leave it plugged in so you won't get a check engine light. That way, if the ECU ever needs to let you know something else is wrong, you'll have an idea...
