    The 14b Drag Race Discussion Thread

    Got a little more work done on tear down and cleanup this evening. I think this parts washer was my best investment I made in my home shop last year, chuck stuff in, turn the timer and walk away.

    The 14b Drag Race Discussion Thread

    Thanks! Yea I was all hyped about chopping the front off, until I did it, now I am thinking it will be a much more difficult task to make it work and look clean than I initially thought, but oh well too late now! lol.Wire hunting, always fun. Nothing worse than electrical gremlins.

    The 14b Drag Race Discussion Thread

    Well I actually got a bit of work in on the car today. It has been parked beside my shop behind the house for the past few months. I drug it around front to the driveway to do some teardown. Pulled the engine and trans out of it, removed stock fuel lines in engine bay, any and all misc. brackets...

    The 14b Drag Race Discussion Thread

    Thanks for the support guys, Ive always thought about attempting the 14b record but always was sidetracked with other projects, now that this 2g fell into my lap I figured it would be a waste of a decent DSM not to give it a second lease on life. Definitely not going to even be close to an easy...

    The 14b Drag Race Discussion Thread

    Dont know if I will be able to get that deep into the list, but I'm certainly going to try. LOL Been doing a little bit of weight research, found that a 2g GST is only about 130lbs heavier than a 1g GST. So I have hope that I can shave down a bunch of weight and actually be competitive for the...

    The 14b Drag Race Discussion Thread

    I am aware the 2g is heavy, thus why I want to try to hit the top 10 with one. No one has done it. Everyone uses 1g's because they are lighter. Bet if you would have asked people if a 2g would ever come close to sheps record without being tube chassis everyone would have said no way, but the red...

    Car Overheated / Overheating / Overheats [MERGED]

    A lot of engines have block drain plugs. I have seen them mostly in v8 and v6 applications though.

    Why I say to have your block decked

    Very good info you provide. Glad we have you here on tuners. I actually plan to build a 6 bolt here some day soon and want to delve into the assembly portion myself. Just something I have always wanted to do. I find your info you provide on multiple threads here very helpful.

    1G fwd transmissions

    WOW, Did YOU search at all? The N/T 1G is still a 4g63 unless he had a 1.8 N/T. Get over yourself and if you dont know the facts dont go talking down to another member who is asking a legitimate question.

    Suspension binding? hard to turn?

    I was not saying that not having zerk fittings was the issue. I am saying that you need to install fittings in the holes to prevent water/dirt/debris from entering into the ball joints.
  17. fallenauthority

    This is how you measure exh manifold pressure.

    Agreed, I would think you would want to measure closest to the actual pressure head(right in the collector before the turbine wheel).

    Who makes OEM?

    High impedance injectors, resistor pack delete wiring?

    Yea you must be right. I'm sure you have actually taken automotive electrical certification classes. In fact I'm sure major automotive manufacturers such as Ford must be misguided with using uninsulated crimp connectors and adhesive lined heat shrink as a recommended and approved wiring repair...

    Suspension binding? hard to turn?

    Zerk fittings.If they have a hole they should have a grease fitting. Are you sure there werent fittings in the bags/box they came in? You cannot leave an exposed hole for contamination to get into the ball joint. Thats the whole point of a zerk fitting to seal the joint but allow it to be...

    4G63 is stumbling under load and generally driving rough. look at this plug!

    Those deposits on the plug look like that cylinder is burning oil. Do a compression check. If you arent having any symptoms of blown head gasket (IE: blowing coolant out of overflow, smoke out of exhaust, loss of coolant, etc) I would say you dont have a head gasket problem. Coolant will not...

    High impedance injectors, resistor pack delete wiring?

    Actually crimp connectors like these : BUTT CONNECTOR NON-INSULATED 22-18GA SEAMLESS 100PK work just fine. You will not have any noticeable difference in resistance through the connection when comparing to a solder joint. Use these crimps with adhesive lined heat shrink over them and never...

    Bad experience when first working on cars?

    That's not a problem with the slave cylinder. Put the trans in gear and use the driveshaft flange on the rear of the trans to turn the input shaft until it slides into the clutch and pilot bearing. Did you replace the clutch while you were there? If so did you use a clutch alignment tool?

    Tig welder on the CHEAP

    I have had my Eastwood TIG200 for a couple months now. I LOVE it. I bought it to start with because I wanted a cheap way to get into TIG to see if I would enjoy doing it and be able to learn how to do it. It has not failed me yet on anything I have tried to do. I have done stainless, aluminum...

    Could This Be Caused By A Bad Valve Cover?

    dropped spring retainer in head

    Because it won't hurt anything. Explain to me how a retainer is going to come up from the bottom of the pan with 4.5 quarts in it and wedge itself into the crank. Exactly, it won't.

    Ah I know why your getting so worked up, you must just be an oil changer on an ego trip.

    dropped spring retainer in head

    Agreed, nothing is going to make it up through the motor to cause harm, it will just sit at the bottom of the pan until one day it happens to be close to the drain plug when you change your oil and it will come out. The pickup screen will keep it from going anywhere important until then. And BTW...

    Looking into fabbing catch cans/ coolant tanks need some input

    Ok so 9 gauge for the coolant tanks and 12 gauge for the catch cans, thanks for the input on that aspect. Now I am wondering what shear I could get that would handle the 9 gauge aluminum. I kinda want a brake/shear combo. I dont want to dump a ton of money on one because I just bought my tig so...

    Methanol injection in magnus nitrous bungs

    Possible but it wont be as effective. Water/Meth needs room to atomize properly which is why you put it before the TB, I believe they say about 18" pre-TB is where it should be to allow plenty of room to atomize properly before it enters the motor. So it is not recommended to run nozzles into...

    Car Overheated / Overheating / Overheats [MERGED]

    Probably a clogged radiator. You can try taking the radiator out and sticking the hose in the inlet and outlet one at a time of course and pumping water through it each way a few times to try and dislodge anything that might be stuck inside. Also, you do not need to have the heater on to burp...

    oil filler cap FAILING

    If you still have your oreillys cap, pull the gasket off of that one and add it on top of the gasket on your OEM cap. If a double stacked gasket doesnt fix your issue you more than likely cracked your valve cover. It often will look like it is coming from the cap but usually it is a hairline...

    We need to clarify something first. Was it the top part of the plug that was saturated or was it the part with the electrode that actually is in the combustion chamber? If it was the top part you will need new spark plug well seals. They should come in a decent valve cover gasket set like...

    ECMlink v3 WOT Tune Epic Fail

    Well your temp gauge works off of a seperate temp sensor that is used solely for the gauge in your dash. The ECU uses a different temp sensor for engine management purposes.

    Ok, you are right on with nozzle size, a proper injection setup will get you about 1 point lower on a/f. If what I am seeing on the log is correct (AEMWB) you are at about 11.1:1 or so, give or take .1 for most of the run. I would be shooting for more like 11.6:1 on meth. I dont see ANY knock in...
