    How to Gap & Install Spark Plugs for Newbies.

    Sorry. I guess I work with too many of those people that should have accidentally killed themselves by now.

    spark plugs that create 1million watts (Pulstars, pulstar, pulse) [Merged] snake oil

    The design has been around for quite some time. The arc is only going to go to 1 "strap", so it really would not matter if there was 20 vs. 3 vs. 1. Plus more difficult to set the gap on multiple "strap" design.If they did actually increase HP it would be due to the fact that the replaced...

    has anyone use this gauge?

    I run a PLX WB wired into DSMLink (no gauge). It works great, so I would "assume" that these would work equally as well.

    How to Gap & Install Spark Plugs for Newbies.

    So I'm a newb and "don't know sh!t", I follow your directions and remove the wires and plugs from their respective locations...how does it all go back together? How do I know which wire goes where?There should be a statement (step 1) " work on/remove 1 wire and 1 plug at a time" or something...

    Stock Turbo Cams

    So you want to slap a few cheap parts on a car to produce a couple of good dyno runs and then sell that POS to some unsuspecting newb for considerably more money than it's worth.Sounds like you're one of the reasons this board exists.

    Mitsubishi MLS head gasket questions

    I'm always curious as to why people ask a question that they have no intention of following the answer unless it matches what they want to do in the first place.Why ask a question if you're going to do whatever in the first place?There is very little in life that's "absolutely...

    Mitsubishi MLS head gasket questions

    Of course you can do whatever you want. However, there is a reason it is recommended to deck the block and head while using a MLS head gasket....

    EGT Questions

    On mine (and generally what I've seen) it will idle at 600F-750F, cruise at 70MPH = ~1200F and after a hard pull, top of 4th = 1450F-1600F.That is done on a stock 2G mani. in good shape (no cracks). 1st runner about 6" from head.Your state of tune will have a big impact on EGTs.

    Honda ecu in DSM?

    With the crossbow I will more than likely have a greater range and acuracy...so I only need the one shot, and it will happen before you even get one off.On a side...the OP's idea is not a great example since it's a totally different platform. A good example would be the Evo guys that took...

    Honda ecu in DSM?

    Not that I would say that it's a good idea or anything....but people doing stuff that most would not try or think about is the reason why you have a "turbo-boosted motor in your car" right now (plus a slew of other thing as well).If everyone operated "within the box", we would still be...

    Lexus Corporate Cover up.

    From you profile I see you have a 97...not so sure about the Talons, but on the Eclipse 2G-B (97-99) there is a safety bulletin for changing the grommet that the throttle cable goes through the firewall because of a similar issue. The cable would stick. Not accelerate, but just not come back...

    Power Transister Unit

    Since the 2 coil packs work 1/4 and 2/3, are you sure that the one for 1/4 isn't trashed?

    Do I have the proper plugs?

    Post 10 (answer to Post 9):Post 11:OK...:ohdamn:

    Do I have the proper plugs?

    And the picture from Defiant shows why the "ramp" type of gapper is not preferred...1. Harder to read/gauge. 2. The electrode can twist and have one side correct, but the other side is too low giving too small of a gap than what's required.
  15. FORMONTOYA

    Do I have the proper plugs?

    I personally prefer the blade type like this... KD Tools 162 - Spark Plug Gauge Blade Type .051 to .635in.However, there is a wire type: KD Tools 165 - Spark Plug Gauge Wire Type .015 to .045in.Both work well, just depends on what you prefer.It's also nice to have the electrode...
