The car was at the shootout this past month, but don't think it raced much due major failure in the head they were running. But I think some of the description was just B/S just to see if they would believe it. Brent Rau also used to make 1400hp + back in the day as well.
As far as adding more power to the solstice/sky turbos they used to have to get "imaginative" to add more fuel because they are direct injection but its has been a while since I have read or looked into that type of info. Maybe why people LSx swap them. As 350z goes, I'd be more afraid of the...
I have test drove a couple pontiac solstice gxp the 2.0 turbo) version of the sky, and it is quick but I couldn't own one, sitting in it, you feel like you have no room to move in it very tight, mind you i'm only 5'8" 175lbs, not a big guy and i felt like that. Out of your suggestions, I would...
It was great meeting you to. always nice to put faces to names. The engine bay is where i put most on my thought process into, so i really appreciate the props.
Well its been a little over a month since my last update. I put in many late hours and long days and waited longer then I had hoped for to get my powder coated parts back. Didn't call me to pick my parts until 3pm wednesday before the shootout. But I managed to get the car put together, wasn't...
I installed 2 pair in my truck last october when i bought, put one set in place of the low beam and one set in fog lamps. I haven't had one problem with them at all, the plugged right in, and only had to mount the little LED module somewhere out of the way...
Tbelt may also be rubbing a warped cover causing the noise. As far as the belt tension, I would line up the timing marks and inspect the hydraulic tensioner for leakage before something the belt jumps. GL
Seems like a 4x6 projector housings and Cree LED kit would be a lot cheaper with same results. I got Cree LED kits in the low beam and fog lights in my truck and they are amazing.
You have been running them without trouble and they don't look like there's enough damage to impact valve travel like Jake said, I'd run them no problem.
Sounds like you should check your timing belt marks still line up, not enough engine vacuum is a result of low compression for one reason or another, or very high lift cam(s).
Was able to finish welding up my intake pipe and upper intercooler pipe and boost leak test them, was a little bit of a pain with my 120v mig welder. Also was able to shave off the lines from the valve cover in preparation to drop it off for powder coating along with the pipes and some motor...
