Here's a link to the thread- It really starts getting good on page 10: http://www.fuelslut.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=55841&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0The background story is that the guy's heavily modded Mustang Bullit is stolen from his garage when his home is broken into. People start...

I'm looking for the lightest clutch disc possible that will be easiest on the synchros and shift the best at high rpm. I'm also looking for a clutch disc that is very easy to disengage, and when it disengages you know it's fully disengaged and not possibly slighly engaged and dragging on the...

I broke into the 11's yesterday with an 11.942 at 115.42.Changes from last time- I installed my Evo 16g. Everybody was egging me on to try for 11's on the 14b but I was tired of that turbo. Plus, I'd been burning more and more oil and when I took it off I found it had axial shaft play so...

I finally made it out to an autocross event after years of wanting to do it. When I saw the event listed on the local forum I racked up several hundred dollars on the credit card just to push to get everything I needed to safely run, and I don't regret it.It was a school event put on by the...

The short version- I went back to the track after having made some changes and ran a new best of 12.180 @ 111.45 on the 14b with a 1.718 60'. 110 Sunoco, 25psi (I assume, I just pulled the WG line and was too busy to check boost during runs). 26 degrees timing peak.Long version- The last...

Has anybody noticed that the fire-sale pricing on PTE turbos has ended and prices have rebounded back up to where they were a few months ago? At one point a bolt-on 50 trim with internal gate was only 700 bucks at some sites, and my friend got an SCM-6152SP for 680 plus shipping. Now the prices...

It was a frustrating night with a lot of breakage at Bradenton Motorsports Park, including one engine blow/wall tap that shut the track down for an hour and a half. I only managed to get two runs in, but on the second run I set a new personal best of [email protected] on the 14b.I got there late...

I've been having shifting issues for the last month or two. The car was getting very notchy in low rpm around-town driving but was fine at high rpm when I was beating on it. I checked a few things and just fixed the problem completely by draining and refilling the tranny with fresh Synchromesh...

Seriously, what cars actually came with these things? I have a list that specifies every vehicle that came with a 4G64 or G4CS, but for the last 2 years of monthly junkyard visits I've found zilch, nada. Zero 100mm cranks. Every single friggin' early 90's Galant, Sonata, Expo, etc, either has a...

When I drive my car hard the shifting gets a lot smoother. Normally in day-to-day driving around town, shifting is very notchy and it requires a bit of effort to go into gear. When I do a hard launch, bang through a few gears, for the next few minutes shifting is smooth as butter. The shifter...

Yet another neat feature made possible by rom tuning. I found the code in an older post on the DSM-ECU list and decided to try it out. After spending way too long figuring out that the purge solenoid works off a fixed +12v and it's the ground that is switched, my friend and I mounted a buzzer...

Has anybody ever heard of or used one of these? Sort of like how the GT3561 is a non-ball-bearing GT35R.I sent an email to precision asking how much it would be to build one with a .63 Mitsubishi bolt-on turbine housing, the 0.60 A/R 4" in 2" out port shroud compressor housing some people...

My friend and I both need alignments and I need advice on what settings to specify. Neither of us is going to fiddle with suspension settings once the cars are aligned so these have to be set-it-and-forget-it compromise settings for the street and track.My car will have this setup when it's...

A friend is willing to give me his old GT2540R. I'd like to know if there are any Mitsu-style turbine housings that will bolt to this chra. Would the housing from one of those "big t28" style turbos bolt up? I'm only concerned with whether it will bolt up and that it's at least got a big enough...

Which one would you pick for a daily driven AWD? My friend is trying to decide between the two in a 215/55/16 to be mounted on his stock 1g rims.The things that are important to him are good straight-line traction, decent wet traction, good high-speed stability. He doesn't autocross or...

Just noticed they've changed their spring recommendations for their cams, and are now much more specific about what the cams need. Big change for the FP2x- "FPCam2x Dual valve springs required. This cam needs 280lb of force over the nose of the cam. When using STDuals, you will find that an...

I don't want to use the front insert that comes with the kit for several reasons. I've seen one or two people mention the possibility of using the prothane for the rear, which is a complete replacement, in the front instead of the insert. Has anybody done this? I'd like to make sure this would...

Sorry about the caps, I feel they're necessary from the last 2 years of crushed bov threads I looked through where there was no info on crushed bovs, just links to the dodgegarage mod.I need a link to a faq or just general info on crushing a bov. What I need to know is how you test the...

Situation: Dead electric water pump, no coolant flow. 10 minute drive, after which we realized it. Temp gauge without water flow= completely inaccurate. General cooling setup of his car other than electric pump- mostly stock cooling system, straight water, 180 thermostat with 1/4" hole in it...

I've seen several people who are using a different turbine wheel in their SCM61. I haven't found any concrete info explaining exactly what they're using, or what the difference in performance is between the wheels.Looking at Precision's site, this is the wheel they list for the SCM6152, the...

Detail on 2.0 6-bolt piston The full lineupI've searched and found two (2) threads. What's the scoop on these pistons? I found a discussion on the local .org that said Mahle recommends a .002 wall clearance, which is incredibly small if true. The things are more than 50 grams lighter than...

I crashed my car (92 laser awd) and bent up pretty much everything in the left suspension. I've got the left suspension fully disassembled on my car, and I'm now pulling the parts off my parts car(91 talon awd), but I realized that the parts car is an abs car and the hub seems to have some...
