My electrical engineering these days has been building controllers and subsystems for machine tool CNC conversions. I have gotten very used to product spec sheets having mechanical drawings, an exact specification of the electrical properties of the widget in question, a list of part numbers for...
As it happens, I'm designing a system for 3SGT, which is basically a DSM with 2 extra cylinders / 1 extra ignition channel.There is a Bosch part number 0221604800 which is an Audi R8 coil, that also appears to refer to a Denso 673-9302 coil... not sure how that works? Bosch makes the Denso...

Huh. These drawings have been up since 2005 and that’s the first time somebody caught the typo.Yes, the groove is 0.032” deep, front and rear.I’ll fix that this weekend.

That depended on the personalities involved.It was less like a blog where everyone reported everything they did, and more like “hey, I tried this, and this weird thing happened” “oh yeah, that happened to me, and I did this analysis, and tried this other thing, and that fixed it”.It was a...
What a bunch of people don’t know though is that there were multiple layers to the NABR onion. Anyone who wasn’t invited the the innermost layer didn’t get to see the “real” NABR.And yeah, the outer, public-facing layer was nasty. It was kept that way on purpose, to try and see what people’s...
> It's honestly super cringeNot as “cringe” as a grown-ass man trying to use the kid’s TikTok slang to, what, seem younger? More relevant?And you necro-threaded a two year old thread (and ended a decade long post hiatus) to throw shade?Seriously?Here’s an age-appropriate word for this...

Man, the loss of historical knowledge and general corporate history. You cats have no idea.NABR was established as a safe haven against the never-ending parade of posers who talked big but had nothing to back it up, or n00bs who were unwilling to read detailed articles and/or get their hands...
After a quick perusal of the Feal website, I would be super dubious about those shocks.Red flags:1. Some sort of off-brand spring, almost certainly not up to the quality level of an Eibach, never mind a Hypercoil - and Hypercoils are dirt cheap. If you are scrimping that hard to push prices...
