Sooo I went to the track again and couldn't for the life of me keep the car at the line. What is the secret ? I have a fully built auto ..... My turbo is a 6766 and I'm using nitrous to spool the converter. I can't for the life of me keep the car in one place. I've heard some guys spool in...

Took a break from working on cars and put some time into my own project. I'm currently having fueling difficulties, my fuel setup currently is 2150s with an intank 535. I'm nearing close to 80lbs min on a 6766. I decided to try the magnafuel 750. I build a sump out of sheet metal and welded it...

It’s been awhile, Been extremely busy working on projects. Here is some of the stuff I’ve been working on .

Since I build a lot of motors I figured I would make an adaptor that would allow me to throw the crank in the lathe for polishing. It also works really well for measuring and checking for runout. This is what I came up with.

It’s been awhile since I’ve posted, I’ve been extremely busy at work...I’m currently in the middle of three project cars, three complete engine builds and fabrication. Over the past few months I’ve been slowly working on the cars and getting my machines refurbished. I had to make new acme nuts...

Getting my final purchase in before winter hits, I have a lot of projects lined up that are starting so this will for sure come in handy. I plan on making some billet motor mounts for my talon .... maybe some other stuff for my customer rides. It’s nothing special but I got it for a steal. It...

Took a break working on cars to make a water pump pulley..... or try to anyway. What yah guys think.

I’m Building another members motor over the winter. It will be a forged manley/ eagle setup going In a 1992 laser. It’s been slow going because of the covid nonsense but I’m tackling one job at a time. The car will be getting new turbo as well. I will update as I progress

I’ve had issues with getting the bearing support out for the center diff . I through some cold roll on the lathe and made some m6x1 threads ....Well you’ll get it when you look At the pics look

I already have my answer , just wanted some reinforcement for a customer. The area is several thousands deep. Imo this isn’t usable without welding. What yah think

I made the decision to upgrade my lathe from the southbend 10 inch I had as they are generally very basic. I found this locally and jumped on it. This particular model was made in 1988 , it’s a 13 inch x40 gear headed lathe with a 3hp 3phase motor. I can do metric and standard threading and it...

So I’ve been in the market for a Mill , ideally a bridgeport. The problem with that is obviously size ... and cost. I found this on craigs list and went for it. It’s really nice considering, it’s the older unit made in Taiwan so it’s made a little better.

I finally bit the bullet and got myself a Southbend. I had some stainless so I made myself a vband Ferrell. Pretty happy with how it came out

So I normally use the pioneer metal dual inlet filter on my transmission. These are currently backordered nationwide. I’m aware that mitsubishi offers a filter in the 50 dollar range.... What other cost effective options do we have? Is having dual inlets really that necessary?

I wanted to pass this along as it was brought to my attention. Most guys , if not all guys running this transmission are using the standard shift kit offered and have the line pressure adjustment either maxed out or nearly maxed out along with the reducing pressure. When they logged the line...

A few years back I purchased a 6266 dbb turbo , I’ve been creeping up to 40psi and I’m starting to wonder if it’s time for a new turbo. I don’t like pushing things to their max if I don’t have too. I was thinking that it may be possible to upgrade this turbo to a 6466 of even the 6766. Im...

Anyone else out their a tool whore like I am , some of these I made but most are oem mitsu made by Miller. Since I rebuild all my own shit , I decided to invest in some good tools . Some are these are for the w4a33 and the others are for rebuild the transfer case. One of the tool allows me to...

So after my walbro incident ive decide to get rid of the dual walbro setup in place of a large single. This is what the plan is... Opinions are appreciated. Part list Magnaflow 750 pump Magnaflow mp-7800 10an 75 micron filter for pre filter 8an orb to 10an fitting- for inlet of pump 8an orb to...

After my little fuel pump situation I’ve decided to go back to a single big pump. I was looking at the magnafuel 750. My only question is will this pump work with a stock tank? I was certain that inline pumps need a lift pump? I run e85 and I’ve read that aluminum tanks need to be anodized due...

So I took the car out for some data logging today and it was interesting say the least , imo anyway . My buddy came along to make changes for me as I don’t like tuning and driving esp considering the car is making 600+ . So we take the car out and I rip a 3rd gear pull with my cutout closed ...

I probably should give a quick synopsis of the setup. The car is a 1999 gsx with a 6 bolt swap so 1g cas. The car has a ohm harness on it with cop and an arc 2 ignition. I redid the timing belt , which is correct... Thankyou. The car is acting like it’s plug wires are mixed , I replaced the map...

This has been discussed in the past, the only experience I have with orings is the motor second motor I built. The block was oringed for stainless steel wire with an oem mls. The more people I talk to the more I lean towards wanting an oring setup. More specifically an oringed block with a...

This is a strange request, I’m looking at building a jig for a top mount manifold. Does anyone happen to have a top mount laying around they aren’t using yet I can use? The only thing I could offer is Maybe building a Downpipe ? You would just have to send me the material. I would cover the cost...

For the 2g, the map sensor... when using the ecmlink cable do they use the Baro or mdp input? I’m having trouble getting this 2g to run with the omni 4 bar

So my stupidity continues despite what I tell my customers... What is the saying ? Practice what you preach.... How often do you guys check for boost leaks? I can’t confirm when the leak started but I found a massive leak on one of my secondary rail welds. A part of me thinks a poor weld got...

So I got a message on Facebook from a guy who purchased a built motor for me awhile back. The engine had the best of the best. New oem head, new oem 6 bolt crank , all new oem timing components including the oil pump with straight cut gears. He took the car out for a spin and oil started leaking...

I’m aware of the coding for the rear differentials. I recently purchased a “J1h” rear diff and I want to verify that this is in fact a 3.307 . What’s a sure fire way to check ? The pinion has 43 teeth

The engine I built was experiencing some timing belt wander and it also effected the tension on the belt. Normally when I build a motor I use a brand new tensioner arm. Unfortunately for us 6 bolt users it’s becoming harder and harder to find them. Luckily I was able to find some more for my...

This is probably sounds like a stupid ?. I have a customers car here for some work and I’m looking at the the installation of the kit. It looks like only only 1 1/2 shaft bolt is installed , more specifically the bracket that bolts to the block looks like it obstructs one of the 1/2 shaft...

What yah guys think, I’m happy with how it came out.a couple areas were undercut so I Moved up to a 3/32 filler wire

So I recently built a motor for a friend. When he came to get the engine I told him to double check the torque on everything on the front cover and retorque the Headstuds. We get to the shop we did a once over and I made a base tune for the new motor. We started the motor and oil was pouring out...

Hello boys , my buddy’s car came back for some work and I had the pleasure of repairing some striped threads on the timing cover rail and block. This is what I use to repair threads on anything I’m fixing.... In this case 6x1.0mm time sert kit , 5mm depth inserts and some lock tight , it’s...

I was having a conversation with Jeff bush and he mentioned that he torque plates the block as well as the head. I can’t imagine that many of you have considered doing that to the head. For fun I decided to torque plate a head to check for distortion and I couldn’t believe how much the valves...

THis topic has been discussed a bunch of times. My friends came over recently and we discussed the specs they planned on running for their new build. The ptw clearance ended up being over .008 with ring gaps in the 30s . I don’t think this is a good idea even when using forged internals. Have...

I purchased this to build a stroker/ destroker motor, came out of a 91 Hyundai Sonata with 58k. Block looks amazing, crank is flawless ..... I got lucky with this one. I paid 600 for it , I have the receipt if anyone’s interested. I’m willing to ship at the buyers expense. I’d consider...

I’ve made threads in the past regarding upgrading the throttle body on our cars. I’m currently running the stock 1g throttle body with mil spec seals. Id really like to upgrade the throttle body as I’m upgrading the intercooler and charge piping to 3 inch. From what I can see we have very few...

I have a customers car over here and I’m changing the timing belt , I’m trying to remove the timing cover and I can’t see anyway that it can be removed . It a 99gsx with a 6 bolt motor ... am I missing something ?

I’m wrapping up another engine build for a friend who destroyed the last motor I built because he didn’t listen and shut off the knock sensor in ecmlink. Needless to say an injector wasn’t up to snuff and he destroyed two pistons. The engine made mid 500 who knocking like a diesel. He plans to...

Figured I’d share. Man I hate making these.... I’ll stick to building motors. Came out ok?

Figured I post this up as I’m sure some of you would appreciate it. Motor had 58k original miles of it. Got it for a steal

Here is a nice project I started for a member a few weeks ago, I will be making charge pipes, downpipe and some custom brackets. More to come

So I finally decided to take the plunge and do the swap. For a auto car you need a 6 speed diff, the cups and stock rear axles. The axles need to be shortened , dss offers a set of bars made out of 300m.The 1g driveshaft flange needs to be drilled into the 3000gt pinion flange. The subframe then...

I got sick and tired of working on the tran sitting on the floor or rolling it around on a bench. This is what I came up with, nothing crazy. Just some scrap chromoly and 1/8 inch plate from the roll cage. The Tranny isny THAT heavy , I don’t foresee having any issues. I’m going to make a few...

I have officially collected everything I need to start with the swap, I found a 1995 dodge stealth vr4 diff and axles for 400..... very very very lucky imo. I also have a stock rear subframe coming in from miller imports. I’m going to make a jig and then see if I can squeeze it in with some...

Two years ago I did the 3000gtvr4 brake swap on my 1g which included swapping over the master and booster, none of which is necessary, it’s comes down to pedal stiffness and what you like in regards to pedal effort. After going back to the 1g twin calipers I decided to go back to the original...

So after my torque converter failed for the 2nd time i pulled the pump out to inspect it. After cleaning everything I reinstalled the pump with a new gasket, did did not touch any of the stack components. when I dropped the transmission I could spin in input shaft easily, after reinstalling the...

As some of you know jeff Bush offers a kit to install the precision 2g converter in a 1g. The kit includes a new billet transmission adaptor plate, transfer case shim, half shaft bearing shim, machined pilot bearing and longer dowels for the transmission. The converter includes 8 flex plate...

Threw the spoolinator in the lathe today. Figured since it’s now a paperweight id take a look at what went wrong. It appears that I had another sprag failure. The sprague is very very light weight, I’m amazed they last at all.

I would be going on my 3rd Sinister mike spoolinator torque converter. Im still at a loss as to why this keeps happening to me. The first failure started the same way, In park and neutral the transmission is quiet as can be but in drive and reverse it whines like a power steering pump without...

When I dropped the car off last night I heard a whine coming from my trans. It might of been my transfer gear whine, I plan on confirming tues. Has anyone else had issues with their converter?
