Very true degreein them and dyno tune would be best but if I was inclined to play with the setup how much could I adjust them either way and not have to worry about piston to valve clearance?

I'm trying to figure out what cam settings have been successful for others, I've been searching the forums but haven't really got any clear info. I have a set of delta 272's with fidanza cam gears. I have just th stock 14b setup on top of a built 2.2 with forged internals. Right now there just...

Hi I was just curious if anyone has purchased a kit from hidkits.com. They have kits for my 94laser as low as 80 bucks. I've never messed with hid's before so I don't know if that price is typical or if it's way off base. Has anyone ever purchased a kit with them before and had good...

how exactly would you check to see if the injector is opening? i can use a noid light to see if its triggered but how would i actuallly see it work?

it could possibley be the injectors, all the gaskets and seals in the engine are new and im fairly sure the vacuum is right, i taped and marked everything before i removed it. just to double check could someone post a pic of the vacuum line coming off the fpr and where it goes to. i double...

ok im having trouble getting my project car to run, its a fresh engine and all the prior equiptment has been sitting for two years. so where im at now is the engine runs (poorly) ive managed to time it within two degrees of the stock rating of 7degrees btdc. ive ohmed out my coil pack and...

thank you for your offer, but i finally found an axle. believe it or not the axle that ended up being right was listed in the book as being to long and the wrong spline count

there is but it matches the dsm tag on the firewall, and the parts guy from mitsubishi says that wont aid him in finding me the right axle

well first off im trying to finish a build up of a 94 plymouth laser 2wd. Literally all that i have left is to find an axle for my car and i can start driving it. Now the problem im having is i cant seem to find an axle that fits my diff and is the right length. it all started out as just a torn...

im posting because i wanted to know if someone could help me in picking the right turbo setup. im currently building a 7 bolt engine that has eagle h beam rods, wiseco pistons, manely springs with titanium retainers and new valves with 4 angle grind. the cams are a 272 duration with .401" lift...

thanks for the advice, im a technician at gm and i have to say this is some of the best tech ive heard on this site yet. but thanks to everyone who gave me input, its much appreciated

thanks for all the input, just to be more descriptive im going to have a 650cc injectors, 255lph fuel pump, and a t04e-60 turbo from turbonetics. thats a t3/t4 hybrib with an ar of .68 i want to build it to hold upwards of 600 hp cause i know i'll get bored with 400. i have a mustang that run's...

ok, well starters i have a 94 laser with a 7 bolt and im getting ready to rebuild it. i was just wanting to get some opinions on what direction to take. my goal is 400whp and i know for the most part what im gonna need to reach it. but i was curious about internals and what shape piston to go...

right on bro, not to many go for the 420a build but gotta have respect for those that do. look forward to seeing how it turns out

damn thats a bigass snake

those look sick

well, first off you can weld it, but with unlike metals there is no telling how well the bead would lay. but anyways assuming that you were able to lay a perferct bead(not saying you cant) you would probably lose flow do to turbulance from radical changes in diameter and the rough edges from...

like i said, i dont have exact details yet, im just trying to gather interest and see if theres enough people to that want to do it. right now im pretty damn certain its gonna happen but more support will just better re-enforce it

just wondering if anyone would be interested in a big meet at the end of september. im going to school right now in wyoming but i graduate the first weekend in aughust so im gonna put together some kind of plans for a meet. probably have a cruise/dinner and finish it with some drag racing at...

im usually on here an average 5-6 hours a week

as far as what power you would make it all depends on your setup, as far as valve train and boost pressure. theoritcally the 280's would make more power cause of the longer duration for the intake, but because you went with 280's on both sides you didnt change your overlap at all. if you know...

thats a clean job, nice work

those are some pretty impressive times for what is technically a modest setup.

the car dosent look to bad, to bad you cant run it and check it out a little more. be wary of the ecu issue, find out why it needs a new one( like whether its gonna be a nightmare getting it running and acting right) check wiring harnesses and connectors for completeness and quality, also if it...

on my 1g when the light comes on i have about 30 seconds to think about it before i run out. lol of course all of us know its never good to run the car out of gas(hard on in tank pump which is lubricated by the fuel)

was on the right track with the gsx, not so much the mazda speed

for three hundred bucks you really cant go wrong, but be wary of the car cause the story dosent sound to legit

has an ass load of miles on his car, congrats on going that far lol

just read through the forums and you'll get plenty of problems. lol

thats pretty cool

as far a place to meet goes, fort collins has a great road that goes right by a lake and then weaves into the mountains, i realize this i kind of far for some of you up north but short of yellowstone area i wouldnt know of any other good roads in wyoming to go cruise on.

i would have to agree with every up above me, hks is definately a safe bet as well as any greddy brand bov

make sure you prime the oil system and if you put new cams in that you follow the proper breakin cycle

try adjust the idle adjustment screw on the top of the throttle body

looks like you got your work cut out for you, just tear it all down, and start over

thats sick dude, now just a little tlc and that thing could have some serious potential

first of all cant spell to save his life and has a slow automatic 16g that dosent spool. lol jk

thats tight dude

looks pretty cool

for some reason likes the new eclipses lol jk

defiantely the honda one or subaru one is the coolest

whats up? lol

freakin why? lol

thats sick dude, representing the spiders well lol

i agree, a fmic is in your best interest. and hey they look cool lol but overall your definately headed in the right direction

thats sick dude, you should host another one come aughust, for now im stuck in shitty wyoming lol

dsm link is well worth the money. trust me when you start making some real power you'll be glad you bought it the first time.

i would just go with black

rent

ive driven the shit out of both of them, and stock vs stock there pretty much the same. but i know that for the 8 and 9 theres so much more out there right now and the power potential is almost limitless. but i think i would still rather have an 8 or 9
