Drifting became teh "new hotness" before the movie. Just like the skyline became big before 2 fast 2 furious. Seems the fast and the furious movies r now catching up to whats popular in the car scene after the initial one got so many kids into it.
I am interested in this new director, i thought the first one was ok and the second one sucked with no story really, i think a new director and fresh take may make things interesting and who knows maybe he can actually direct a good story and get us involved into the characters. With u guys...
Welp realized my credit card is pretty maxed out, can anyone please lead me to a site where I can get the cams. This is all I will prob get while fixing the hg.
Yeah I just really don't want this to happen again, wanna be safe as I can. Would u guys be able to point me in the direction of a nice set of valves and whatnot, and cams...and huh...w/e else u guys recommend.
Well I've decided I'm going to get the head pulled out, get a lot of shit checked out, what do u guys recommend I get done while it's out, I was thinking cams, maybe port n polish and whatnot, what is worth the money do u think?
Yeah I think it'd be too good to be true right now if it was the radiator, i think i will have to do the hg and they will be able to tell when they open it exactly what happened but i am now worried about boosting it again after it's done as I don't want this to happen again.... :(
Yes actually he did this thing where they both come on, and recommended i may need a better radiator but it came on a lot faster and went through the cycle much better it seemed, but yeah it does that all the time...the problem is when it's under boost i guess...
Well, here's exactly what is happeing, I will drive down the highway say boosting to pass someone, hit a light, when i don't gas it, water temp goes up, when i gas it it will fall down. Later come to find there is some sort of leak whether it caused a pipe or something to crack or it is just...
Posted this on 2gnt but figured it wouldn't hurt to post it here either:First I would like to explain everything I have in this car. Forged internals, 8.6 compression, portfueler, multi-layered steel headgasket, arp headstuds, everything i could possibly throw at this damn engine. I also...
Absolutely nothing...Crane HI-6DI2 CD - $480
Screamin Demon coil 40,000 volts - $70This is what is in the plans, I am going to order this, BUT, i am a bit confused. That controller is the price of a freakin megasquirt...can I just get the megasquirt, or will i still need some ignition...
Well my final run was 293whp, the one with 296whp i think it was missfiring or something and thats when we gapped the plugs, or idk but we smoothened a lot of that curve out. We did tune it, and when I get the new ignition hopefully the curve will be nicer and i'll get some more whp. But he...
They dyno'd it and tuned the airfuel to 12. Some say that is running towards the lean side but they say it's fine. I guess what I will do is when I get ignition I may ask em to bring it to 11.6 or something. But idk I hope they doesn't hurt my power much, lol.
I can't figure out how to use that program with my dyno info, this is the best I can do the guy who dyno'd will explain how to get to the other charts hopefully soon.
It's a stage III clutch from titan motorsports, but I can't find the clutch on the site anymore to find the info on it, I will ask the machanic soon as I get the chance, sorry for my ignorance as usual :(
Yes they closed it a bit with stock ignition but as I said in my previous post it's missfiring now so I'm ganna go with a better ignition system all togather, will msd work smoothly on our cars, and u guys think i can extract a wee bit more whp with it, lol.
Honestly from the dyno graph (I still gotta put that up he should post it up today) they said she was loving 18-19psi. I think with the new ignition system I should be fine, what do u guys think I'm ALWAYS open to advice, lol.
Gl with it Ajax. You don't really "need" the 8-injector setup imo, look into the megasquirt it's cheaper I believe and better, but my portfueler is doing the job def....BUT...Well I talked to my machanic, found out cams and installation will be pretty expensive so I will hold that off for...
Not sure about the plugs, I'll get that graph up as soon as I can, hopefully the guy I dyno'd with will send it to me through the computer tommorow.I'm looking into cams now. Any help with a good choice would be appreciated. So far all I found that seemed to be a good deal was this...
I will try to get the graph up as soon as I can but I don't have a scanner so bare with me for a few days. At 19psi I got 293.2 whp and 290.8 torque. The initial first run at 14psi was 243whp and 251 torque. Lots of room for improvement the portfueler's base map is rich as hell, was off the...
I am very pleased with my portfueler so far, running 12-14psi and seeing egt's no higher than 12, it's def. doing it's job. I was very doubtful at first but soon I will do a baseline dyno for 15psi and will post my results. Then sometime in may I will dyno tune for 20psi hopefully.

thanx! I am limited with money but I think I will def. be getting this suspension, my stock suspension just isn't cutting it. This suspension is mostly to lessen the stress on the tranny, right now this is my prime worry since I will be going to the track soon and I'm still contemplating...

Around here a shitload of v8's r being turbo'd. EVERYTHING is being turbo'd these days, but I def. agree it seems they r saying "teh #### with the superchargers."
Thats a big mother####er I don't even think ppl will #### with him in prison. You guys really think you'd have the balls to be the first to step up to someone like that, it's easier said on this forum than done. But I hope ppl atleast called the police on they're cell phones. But don't get me...
Sui eclipse if this is true then I'd really like your advice over all since u have the portfueler. If you can please IM me sometime at Jimmmyz14 if u have aim. If the portfueler will work for up to 300whp safely then I would love to stick with it. That would be plenty for me. Can u tell me...
Interesting that u asked that question, I asked the same one on 2gnt, there is someone that did it.http://forums.2gnt.com/dcboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=54&topic_id=322&mesg_id=322&page=
Heh, a little update, after doing a lot of research and asking questions, i'm not contemplating and almost ready to buy the megasquirt to control the portfueler 8 injectors. I guess it would control the secondary ones. My goal of 300-320whp seems a bit too unsafe with the portfueler, seems...
http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback&userid=mizzelphug&items=25&page=1&frompage=-1&iid=-1&de=offFriend of mine found this and posted it on a local forum, found it hillarious.
Mine came in 2-3 weeks from them they seem to be very good aspecially compared to howellautomotive, thats the place u prob heard the horror stories about.
That would be the new z06. I'm sure this one is close, prob can go up to 50, the new z06 though was trying to get that 4 second 0-60 or something so it lets u rev higher and 1st gear is a little over 60...insane!
I remember seeing a special on tv about a GTO drift car, the first one actually, was yellow and gray and had a special built motor put into it? Is this the same car?
I love the hp wars the muscle cars are having. Just when u think one car is badass, another tries to beat it. Right now the corvette z06 is at the top it seems with a 1st gear that reaches 60mph and has 500hp, but rumors are already starting with the new cobra (which Shelby will make) that...
