That was me and a buddy! I knew you looked familiar!

Interesting to see you come up with that Brad. I found the same thing when I tried them, thought I'd gone crazy.

How far are you willing to go and what part of Maryland is Easton? Some places mentioned in this thread range from "good but doesn't work on DSMs any more", to "shouldn't be in the same state as a DSM much less touch one", to "does good work but pretty damn expensive" If you were limited to...

26" tire and tighter converter

I've been wanting to try this for about 10 years but never got around to going through all the work to try it. Looks quite promising. can you give us more info on that test car? good numbers for an auto for sure. Is it FWD or AWD? 2.0 or 2.3?

I'm going to clarify all the misinformation here..Converter is just an automatic slipper. Stall speed is NOT where it "locks". DSMs don't even have a lockup type converter (2Gs do, but not under power, it's for cruise only). The stall speed is simply a factor of torque vs the K factor of...

Nice job vinnie! glad to see you got it all sorted out and rolling finally!

Can't trust anyone these days... I've escorted many a customer to the ATM immediately following their "can I pay (insert later date here) I don't have the cash on me right now". I've been ripped for about $10k total over the years by dishonest customers. I've reformed my business practices to...

Man that's bad. I had a cheapass customer with a 4G63 block warped .008 before. Put an OEM gasket on that sucker and made 700whp haha. Sucks for those honda guys though they don't really have any good composite HG options that can pick up that kind of slack like we do.

That's a nice power curve for that little housing. But I don't think going to T3 would be worth the trouble for you. a .63 T3 may spool slightly faster but it'll make the same power curve. Hit or miss I'd say. If .82 T3 was the idea, then you'd be better off keeping your T4 and getting a .68...

It'll work fine as long as it's wired right

If you aren't using a TCU, the only wires you need to worry about are solenoid A and solenoid BI'm curious about your swap though, that seems like a pretty fun setup. I always wanted to do an auto 3kgt VR4 but the thought of ease/price of repairs vs a DSM kept me away from it. Love those...

What was your RPM through the traps on this one?

what tires / tire size are you running?

I've done tests of filter vs no filter vs screen probably close to 100 times. Seems at least once a week I have a customer's car on the dyno that insists on pulling his air filter off swearing he'll gain power. In probably 50+ instances of this I have never seen a gain in horsepower at the...
