Well I have a high stall 9" billit converter set around 4500rpm. I am having a hell of a time controlling temps. I have one of the larger trans fluid coolers IPT sells but I bought it so long ago I forget exactly which one. It is set between the front mount and radiator. I have rewired my OD...

That is to say the fuel demands on the injector are less affected by rpm then say the pump? Correct me if I am wrong, let's say if an engine were under 20psi from 1rpm all the way to 50,000rpm the amount of fuel spit out by the injector would be about the same (assuming identical afr)...

My mechanic said he tried turning it on at 10 psi but had some small issues with it so then reset it to turn on at 4 psi. In his hands it worked well but since I've been doing long road trips and using cruise control at 85 mph I'm finding the car stumbling when the pump turns on and off. Right...

I have an older 9 inch billet torque converter and I understand they no longer sell my version any more due to lock up failures. I just wanted to get a good understanding of what makes them fail. Were the failures due to people trying to force the lock up under a load or was it simply under...

Any suggestions? The tial has a 20 lbs spring in it and it will creep to 23-24 psi.Currently there is no boost controller on the car. Car is flowing around 60lbs/min at 8500rpm on 91.

Does any one have a picture that could help me identify which lines on the trans are feed/return and also what would it take to correctly control my TC lock up function with the OD switch?Thanks for any help regarding these issues.

Is there any thing stand alone that does this? I know there is a switch on one of IPT's boxes but I have never seen any thing stand alone that gave user control of lock up. I have a high stall 9 inch TC and I'd like to get some of my MPG back....

I understand IPT still has his, road surge makes one, TCUGO went away? I remember some one started modifying chips in the factory TCU, that working pretty good now? He was just experimenting with it when I left.....There was also some cheap ebay module that some guys were trying. Not...

Hey guys, sorry for the long story up front. This whole DSM build has been one big, long, expensive cluster fu(k. I will try and spare you the details and be direct.My car after about 5 years of sitting around is finally going to need to be tuned. My car originally had dsmlink V2 but...

I was hoping some one might have part numbers, or atleast know exactly what car they came off of, thanks.

Has any one ever bought polks stage 4 cnc head before? Were your exhaust ports D-Shaped? I have been 5000 miles away from my car for 1 and a half years now so I haven't seen the parts coming in or any thing but I got a call from robert at roadrace today and he wants to know why my head has...

Title.The car is sitting for a while, i want to wax it and cover it until i get my motor back in it.Any ideas?

Which one can I possibly get better pump gas figures from. I am working with 92 on the island (HI) and I suppose I have enough intercooler to run maybe 23-25 lbs. I would really like to have as broad power band as possible and close to if not over 450whp on pump. I currently have a standard...

I know Straightline does, or atleast claims they do cause i haven't seen mine, and DNP and SBR does. Both DNP's and SBR's are not dual gated however which some what negates the purpose of the divided setup. Also SBR's is not equal length. Topstreet a member here makes one too, dual gates...

So I always thought that with the t4 turbo's the same number A/R, .70 A/R for instance, would be bigger than say a T3 .70 A/R......is that true? I have looked around at T4's now and then and I have been looking at .58 and .63 T4 A/R's thinking that they would flow just as much as a T3 .82 A/R...

any one have direct experience with both?

Sweet header eh? Insert, poll, nevermind.....So ive been thinking about the prospects of alky or water injection or possibly both but I am a little scared of tuning to the limit with injection. If some thing were to fail that would make imminent lunch out of my motor. So I decided I would...

I am looking at the gt35r or a gt3040r (gt3082r) and I can't decide which setup to go with. When I look at the compressor maps and turbine maps that are available from garrett and compare them with information off of some of garretts performance distributers they do not match up. When I went...

I want a gt35r with V-band outlet and surge ported compressor housing. Ive been having a really hard time finding this turbo.

This is not really a tuning problem I am trying to sort out or any thing just a question I have wondered about for a while. I read some where that 14.7:1 was stoichiometric, where all carbons would be consumed or some thing, and I also read that 11.5:1 produced the most cylinder pressure, it's...

Where did you guys put them? Any pictures?I just got fi-car-audio 15 and I am trying to figure out where and how others have set there's up.......pictures preferred. I am thinking spare tire well enclosure but if I can't swing it financially or find the time to do myself, then maybe...

Ive been thinking alot about where I will put my sub and I was wondering if putting it in the rear of the trunk area would make much difference. Box/sub/amp is probly close to 100+ pounds and where it fits would make about 20 inches difference in placement of the boxes center of gravity...

Just curious. What ill affects are there and is it feasable to remove the divider at a later time if that was the only option available to me.

See thread title? I don't know if it is measured in cfm or lbs min though, any one know?

I have already a pair of koni yellows with ground control coil set. The spring rates are 500/350 f/r. I also have a set of ebay strut bars on it front and back. The car handles very sharply, like rails as it's most commonly compared as and It is a little rough for my taste but livable.Now...

I am trying to figure out what turbine wheel and housing I want to put on my car but I don't know how to calculate HP (or air consumption) vs rpm into lbs/min in exhaust flow.....I think fuel trimming can vary the results of lbs/min but I suppose I can use a median entry and go from there.

Assuming you had either A/R option for your application (in my case gt35r with .63 t3 or t4 housing) which is better? I keep reading that T4 is more efficient with some scavenging effect created by the divided housing, this supposedly means quicker spool. I have an automatic car so response is...

I have no idea what happened except that I installed a fuel pump and then the guage stopped responding, has this happened to any one before or have ideas on what next to do?

A GUY TOLD ME IT SOUNDS TO HIM LIKE THE BALANCE SHAFT REMOVAL WAS DONE IMPROPERLY. sOME THING ABOUT A GEAR OR BEARING WAS NOT TIGHTENED ALL THE WAY. ANYONE HEARD OF THIS BEFORE?

I have a gt30r with sbr manifold, is it common that the compressor hits the feed line bolt? Ive clocked the housing every wich way with no luck. What a PITA this is being.....

I was talking previously with a shop who was going to tune my car last week but they kinda blew me off for some other things that turned up for them. Now I am just looking around to see if any one here is qualified.The car has a few gremlins....... It's not only a tuning job but some light...

Sorry guys, wish this was a kill for the galant......but not today ROFLContent Removed

My car was originally going to be run mainly with dsmlink and leave the translater set to zero.....when I finally got around to plugging in my E-prom ecu it turns out the thing is have serious problems and needs to be sent in for repairs. I am left trying to tune my car, with 850's, just enough...

I know you need computers that would reset staic at 9:1 but what about hardware, lines, pump etc. I understand you also would run much larger injectors than you would with alcohol, possibly 2 sets depending on how much power you made. I am just wondering because there trying to develope gas...

????

Yay or nay. Please explain your answer's....

What do you guys think, wait a bit or toss it on there.

I asked albert to make the intake 2 pieces so that I could put my filter back under the hood during rainy season. So far every thing looks really nice, hope to have it installed in the next week or 2 with full review.

I was looking at an internally gated GT3040R and even with a 38 mm internal the thing will still probly creep to hell. Since I already have a flange on my manifold for external, I wondered if it would be relatively simple to run both an internal and external 38mm wastegate.......

ive looked on ebay and it seems there is like 4 different kits for sale, one consists of 3 complete solid replacements ( OMG ouch) the others are assortments of the inserts. I think I would prefer the inserts after riding in my buddy duanes car.......Wich ones should I get?Thanks...

It seems that The t3 flange (according to a gasket I have) is smaller in some places than the mitsubishi flange. Just looking at the T3 gasket it will barely have any surface to seal at the top and bottom where it is narrowest and the mitsu flange is widest, what did you guys do to seal the...

What guages will bolt into my FPR?Thanks guys......

Sorry if this is a dumb question. The ports for the exhaust seem to fit a gasket I have perfectly however the intake ports are too big for a 2g gasket and too small for a 1g. It's actually right between the both of themWhat do I use?

Seems like every company is self proclaimed "the highest flowing". Has any one seen any data (flow/CFM) that indicates wich converter is in fact has the best flow? Post it up!

Ive been sitting on the koni sports for a while and i finally got the green to buy some ground control coilovers......Heres she is.....Still has alot to be done but she's coming around.
