I wouldn’t go that far. Plenty of us have run Dsmlink in pretty high powered cars. It does have a limited number of programmable ins and outs, but it does have them. Dsmlink is less than 1/3 the cost of most aftermarket ecu’s. It isn’t 1/3 as...
Search through some local forums and Facebook groups for people racing 4g63’s. Go watch them run. Don’t buy into the bling and big talk. Watch what cars are there racing consistently, and not breaking engines every pass. See who does their work...
Yeah, I need to get back in the game if these are todays prices.We went from 10’s to 7’s in 2 years with zero catastrophic failures.I’m with you on the clutch. I ran a 2900 for years on a jacked up hydraulic system for max throw, zero...
The problem with blaming the clutch is this. It’s totally possible to shred a poorly lubed thrust on first startup with lots of cranking. All my cars start without pushing in the clutch. But, that has nothing to do with the main bearing wear...
First thing I looked at. There was no hone done on the mains. In my experience a kiggly girdle and arp’s don’t usually pull the mains to the point they need honed or bored. That being said being told work was done that wasn’t isn’t good.My...
Is it a Mitsubishi 16g or a knock off? The knock offs now are a lot better but still like oil from the filter housing more than the head because of the bearings they use.
I use small 10-15mm lengths of threaded rod, I do this so I can peen them in. I’ve seen squirters and plugs fall out of race engines revving really high.
If the front balance shaft bearing is spun the only way to fix it is to remove the Phillips head block plugs for access to the oiling hole in the block. You then tap and plug the oil hole.
We rarely float valves because of rpm. We float valves from exhaust back pressure.I ran some shimmed bc springs with stock retainers out to 9200 regularly. I had no issues until I put on a smaller turbo and tried to crank it up. With the...
To measure everything you need a round bar that’s perfectly straight and flat, a bore gauge, and a micrometer. The mic and bore gauge need .0001” resolution.Damn near every time I’ve installed a girdle and studs, the size and roundness of the...
All the bigger turbos in bolt on housings melt the turbine inducer tips at anything close to real boost. Sometimes they hold together, sometimes the resulting imbalance bends and breaks the turbine shaft.
A properly setup 4 link car doesn’t squat when it launches. There are guys running 6’s in rwd cars without wheelie bars.Just the consistency you get from not having any alignment changes as the car moves through the suspension range is worth...
