  1. bear big brakes install Pics!!!!!

    As jtmcinder pointed out, It's not the direction of the slots that matter, it's the direction of the internal vanes. The vanes are what help cool the rotors, not the slots.
  2. AXIS hollow spoke technology?

    What? Since when does the surface area of a wheel spoke have anything to do with load capacity? Additionally, I'd like to see the calculations that show a hollow tube to be stronger than a solid cylinder WHEN THEY ARE THE SAME DIAMETER. Hollow tubes are stronger per mass of material, but if...
  3. Power Wire to fuel pump almost caught fire!

    The purpose of the fuse holder is to hold the fuse. And the purpose of the fuse is to blow and break the circuit when anything gets shorted out. Was the fuse in the fuse holder blown? It sounds like something shorted in the holder, like steve mentioned.When a wire shorts, it will get VERY...
  4. Why water injection is the best mod I've done in years...

    When did I ever make a broad statement like "water is better?". Water will absorb more heat. Period. Is absorbing heat the only issue in this application? No! I know that you will get more gains from injecting methanol. But the reasoning and justifications you used to substantiate what you...
  5. Why water injection is the best mod I've done in years...

    Take a gander at that, and you'll find similar information on other sites http://www.rc51.org/fuel.htm I don't know why you keep placing the burden of proof on me. And no, I don't agree that you get a higher MPH on race fuel IF your ECU doesn't advance timing. The only way you could see a...
  6. It's been so nice out, I had to do a few pulls! (log inside)

    You'd think a DSMlink datalog would be accompanied by a graph :). That's not knock that's being displayed either, but rather the knock retard. IIRC pretty much any datalogger can display that...
  7. Why water injection is the best mod I've done in years...

    It doesn't really matter who makes the statement. If it's unsubstantiated it's just a statement.I'm not arguing that injecting water/alcohol will drop cylinder temps. You could also drop cylinder temperatures by adding fuel. But what makes power? It's bringing those cylinder temps back...
  8. Why water injection is the best mod I've done in years...

    I agree, this is definately starting to go off on a tangent, but bear with me here for one last post. You criticize me for referencing information on the internet, yet you put down quotes that you've come across in some forum, mailing list etc :). The methanol octance numbers I've found are...
  9. Why water injection is the best mod I've done in years...

    Uhhh...nitromethane is CH3NO2. When was nitromethane ever methanol??? There are different materials you can use to contain methanol. SS for example. Additionally, a little water with methanol also greatly reduces the corrosiveness.Methanol is more toxic then other alcohols because it...
  10. Why water injection is the best mod I've done in years...

    Hmm..many questions here that could have been answered with a quick search.1. Some characteristics of Methanol... http://www.advancedenergyresearch.com/hydrogen-economy.htmNamely that methanol is QUICKLY absorbed through the skin, where it, unlike ethanol, doesn't get broken down by the...
  11. What can I do to build power pre-spool?

    I'm glad your curiousity is satisfied. While you're at it, go ahead an install a stutterbox. It'll do WONDERS for your <2500 rpm performance :thumb:This is the last time I'm visiting the newbie forum...
  12. What can I do to build power pre-spool?

    No, but any stop sign I WANT to leave quickly I will launch. What's the issue here? Who the heck really cares about <2500rpm power anyway? Seriously, if you want low end grunt, nothing will beat a V8, w/o getting too exotic. Anything else you do will make pretty marginal increases under 2500...
  13. Evo III 16G Turbo Spool Sound

    Purely on an aural basis, My EvoIII turbo makes me think I'm driving a bus around ;).
  14. Interest in solid motor mounts?

    So what's the advantage versus urethane motor mounts?
  15. Interest in solid motor mounts?

    So what would be the advantages of having a solid mount? I can think of disadvantages, but not advantages...
  16. Need to rebuild my 2GFWD trans to hold HIGH HP. IPT ,LEVEL 10,or ALTO overhaul kit?

    A quick search would have told you that pretty much everyone on this forums recommends IPT. I used their rebuild kit + a high stall TC. Couldn't be happier with the service or how well my tranny works now. :thumb:
  17. Factory Alignment Specs

    (According to Alignment shop info)2G AWD Front Camber: -0.58° to +0.42° Caster: 3.17° to 6.17° Toe: -0.06” to 0.06” each side Total Toe: -0.12” to 0.12”2G AWD Rear Camber: -1.83° to –0.83° Toe: 0.00” to 0.12” each side Total Toe: 0” to 0.24”
  18. Trouble with Lower Ball Joints

    You basically cut out the locking portion of the nut, the nylon insert, so the nut just threads lightly on. You could also use a thread guage and get a plain replacement nut that fits.
  19. my O/D gear deff does not work

    Yes, but at the end of the day, $2800 buys you a FULL race auto vs a stock manual if you convert. Not quite the same...
  20. EVO 16g vs. 20g

    Actually, they can't just void your warranty without proof.The Magnusson-Moss Warranty - Federal Trade Commission Improvement Act of 1975 protects consumers from such fradulent activity by new car dealers. Under this Act, aftermarket equipment that improves performance does not void a...
  21. new mobile 1 High-Endurance Motor Oils

    Just like how automakers like GM must make a better car because they have WAY more resources then McLaren, Lotus, Aston Martin etc right?
  22. new mobile 1 High-Endurance Motor Oils

    Exactly. I posted about this before. If Mobil corp offered the major manufacturer's one free fill, I'm sure those companies would agree to have the oil in their car. Why would Mobil do that? Because the owner's would most likely stick with the oil since it already came with the car. Does...
  23. What is a good A/T transmission fluid?

    All you want to know about lubegard. http://www.lubegard.com/automotive/index.html The one for our tranny's that John uses is the HFM formula.I believe he typically reommends Amsoil synthetic and the HFM.
  24. The best of these budget street tires!

    He's asking for budget. I wouldn't call an SO3 budget :). Don't forget the Falken Azenis either. Probably the most bang for the buck for performance.
  25. no front sway bar! [Merged 9-9]

    And if you read a little more carefully, you'd realise what people are saying...If one end link is already disconnected, that means your sway bar IS NOT DOING ANY WORK ANYWAY, which then means, IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE IF YOU TAKE THE WHOLE THING OFF. Hope this is clear enough now. :thumb:
  26. no front sway bar! [Merged 9-9]

    I had hoped that the statement was over the top enough it would be very apparent that it was facetious...guess not.
  27. no front sway bar! [Merged 9-9]

    I think if one endlink is already off, you should also take off the other one. It'll balance out the weight. :thumb:
  28. Sway bar alignment

    I made sure grease was squeezing out everwhere when I tightened it down. :) I might switch to an even tackier grease...I have access to an open gear lube that's only removable with degreasers,and that's only after scrubbing. I just have to make sure it's compatible with polyurethane.I...
  29. Mr. Freeze water/methenol injection

    I could see two scenarios 1. It looks like the contraption is just gravity fed. The container is pressurized to allow the water to flow into the charge air pipe. Atomization? Fergitaboutit. Bad idea. 2. The pressurized bottle sprays pre-supercharger. Might not damage a roots type, much...
  30. Sway bar alignment

    Hey guys, Just installed a set of RM sway bars, and was wondering about the final alignment of the bar prior to tightening the bushing brackets down. I tried to center the bar such that the endlinks were at approximately the same angle to vertical. Since the endlinks are exerting push/pull...
  31. Throttle body shaft seals

    Go to your local bearing/seal supplier and ask for a chicago rawhide 3930 oil seal. I got them locally for $9.00 CAD a pair.
  32. red head lights?

    Very likely very illegal. A red headlight could confuse the opposing traffic into thinking that s/he's looking at a tailight. Not to mention illumination will probably be compromised also.
  33. New Alternator Increase HP

    Guys, you have to look past all the typical marketing BS. From an engineering stand point, the idea IS technically sound. I seriously doubt that it'll be able to transmit too much torque to the engine, but it could conceivable add some torque. I'd say that 20-30hp is probably not out of the...
  34. Paddle shifter is almost ready!

    Yeah, I have to say I'm really itching to try this out...the price sure makes it attractive. BTW, if you haven't already, make sure you follow the link and sign up on the buyer's list to reserve one!
  35. Paddle shifter is almost ready!

    I think most people have probably heard about the work Hugo has been doing...see if this interests you :)A lot have been going on this week-end. I'm now done with the design of the PCB. I should be getting the board ready to be assembled beginning of next week. After that I need probably two...
  36. went 12.58 @107.00 today!

    That's because DSMtuners is frequented by people who have nothing better to do than to argue and put people down.What's so hard to understand here guys? DSM ATs are behind the times because they were made to handle ~200 ftlbs of torque stock. The GM trannies were bolted to big blocks...
  37. Dry Ice Chamber

    I wouldn't worry too much about condensation. Remember that the air is moving at high velocity through the passages, any moisture will be reabsorbed into the air stream and taken into the intake.
  38. Halfway through engine rebuild and some great news!! I need some 6 bolt experts!!

    You will want to keep the 2G AT if you stay AT. It's widely recognized to be a stronger item than a 1G AT. If so, and you want to use a 6 bolt with a 2G at tranny, you'll need a flexplate adaptor kit that IPT is selling. Check the atdsm site and you'll find the info you need.If you want...
  39. Injector Rings to head

    Go to an injector cleaning place. They will have it for 50c a piece.
  40. Evo 3 16G "GT"?

    Yes, I think that calling it an EVO 16 GT turbo is deceiving. It makes people think that it's an Evo16 turbo manufactured by MHI. The turbo was never on an Evo III, neither is it a 16g which is a turbo designation used by MHI. A super 16g or 16g killer at least makes the buyer aware that it's...
  41. Blitz BOV?

    To recirculate a blitz, you just need to buy and extra flange, undo the horn, bolt the flange to it and connect your rubber tube to the flange. DONE.
  42. Completed AWD Conversion

    Exactly. I could see this to be worth doing in a spyder, but unless you're REALLY attached to your FWD or have access to an AWD wreck with all the parts intact, it's still not worthwhile doing.
  43. Loose Rotor?

    Usually the rotor is attached to the hub due to corrosion, but the only thing holding the rotor onto the hub is the wheel. Either the rotors are really new, or the lugnuts could have been a little loose and allowed the rotor to work loose.
  44. cryo'ed head

    Bus, don't you get that all the "info" he posted is based on the sales pitches from cryo companies? No one in here said "it wont work because I dont do it". We're expressing our doubts because his statements are obviously based on bad science and pure conjecture. Do you know what marketing...
  45. Looking For Cars To Sponsor [Merged 12-8] carsponsorship.com scam

    Chances of somebody getting sponsored with a stock car? Virtually zilch. "REAL" sponsorships are where the companies actually have to spend money on your car. They are buying advertising space and recognition. If you aren't out at all the shows with a car capable of catching people's...
  46. Alcohol / Water Injection Questions!

    Your pressure gauge isn't sensitive enough. Whenever I do Pitot measurements in the inlet side of fan( and I used to do A LOT), the static pressure is always negative. I typically use an inclined tube manometer that measures in factions of inches of water. Ask anybody who measures airflow for...
  47. Head Shims - Any Pro's or Con's

    Sounds like a thicker headgasket to me...Make sure you find out exactly what it is though...do they plan on adding a shim to the gasket??? :eek:
  48. cryo'ed head

    Really? That's news to me. Again, what is the basis of your statement? Pure conjecture? I can offer you this...in all my years in the University, in all the textbooks I've read, in my 6 years as a practising engineer, I have not come across any information, equation, even suggestion that...
  49. cryo'ed head

    Can somebody explain how stresses affect heat transfer? I can't, and I have an M.Sc. in MecE. Please, take a close look at your "sources" of information. They are all people/company with a vested interest in cryogenics.
  50. Alcohol / Water Injection Questions!

    Look, as I said before, PLEASE go do some research, and you'll soon find that any piping, any boundary that contains a moving fluid is a flow restriction and hence generate a pressure drop. Besides, a shop vac in a room is not even in the same order of magnitude of volume ratios compared to the...
