:rocks: Ok. With about 4 weeks left and counting.
It's an all-day (10am-9pm), family event. With usually 50+ cars and 100+ people. Food is provided by you. And so are the events. Some people have stepped up to the plate for offering assistance. I hope that many more can as well. This will...
Basically most cats are universal in it's function for use in other cars. Yes the diameter may be different, but the piping can be cut off and the correct diameter be welded on with new flanges also. For the flanges to mate up, however, that may not allways work unless you pull one off at a junk...
Here ya go. http://slowboyracing.com/more.php?id=2162&PHPSESSID=5400726300cd8ed142bca007b97f61fb
But if that doesn't work then try a few other people. If they do not have that particular flange listed on line, they still might have one if you contact them. Here's a couple links to contact...
Your betting on your car's integrity and life if you do not know the air/ fuel mixtures.
SO...
I wouldn't! I had my car setup much like this but with an 18g and the AFC corrections were a bit different than what it was if I left it at zero. (as if there wasn't one connected) Plus. If you can...
Andrew is correct, just to confirm this. Counting counter-clockwise, the first top marking is TDC. The next is a shorter mark for 5 as Before TDC (BTDC). Then the '10 BTDC' that is labeled on the case afterwards. Then again a mark just as small as the mark for the 5btdc is one for 15 BTDC...
If you want to print a 'take-along cheat sheet' for your tuning tips, just scan down below for the basics. But to best tune out understeer or oversteer issues, there is a lot to learn and conceder first. Best advise I can give is to try tuning on a race course for safety. Read and ask a lot of...
Well, I do have my BS removed.
I tapped an oil primer where a hex bolt (allen head) was capping off an opening that the factory didn't use. It's located facing toward the ground and below the larger oil pressure sender. Problem is that the oil primer never worked by turning on when it's...
If you choose to purchase a 2g manifold they have a little more wall material to allow for safer porting thereby reducing the chance for cracks. I had been successfully running one for years without a concern. Although cracking is more common in stock manifolds because there is less nickel in...
Fortunately, the water pump is something you can replace without to much labor hours into it. If it's more of a money issue than a weekend of your time, then I'd tackle the job yourself with a local friend/acquaintance that can help out. It could take one who knows what they're doing a half day...
Well after the HP competition about a week ago, I immediately noticed a weird sound coming from the front end of the engine (where the belts are). Sounds like a quiet supercharger whine. I don't think it's the power steering as the steering doesn't affect it.
As I was driving it home that day...
In all the experience I have in witnessing so many DSMs, there never seems to be one that is identical in after market setups. There is always a variation on a theme. And many people want bragging rights for high HP but do not realize that it's not the means to an end. What I mean here is you...
Great job for the 18g! I loved mine.
I had a 18g here in Colorado. I ran a 12.6. So in lower elevation, it might have been a 11.xx run as well. This was on a stock long block and a few bolt ons to help. My old list is here if you want to compare...
It's still an age old question as to the decision of what new turbo to choose. But the same principals still apply. Usually a larger turbo has much better flow and boost capabilities than a smaller one. A smaller one will give you quicker spool. Although I cannot tell you about these turbos...
