I can tell already you gunna need good burnouts....remember you have a good bit of suspension tuning compared to us stock suspension style guys. that ladder bar should be your best friend right now if hooking is becoming a problem. you can easily adjust it at the track if needed to make sure...

congrats on the times... now get your license and keep this car going faster each pass. Good luck on keeping the improvements coming, it will be awesome to see another car keeping up with twicks, evil_eagle and those few other elite cars

Silver Bullit, If you would have read all of my previous post you would have seen that I already know that i need some suspension work.This was just done to get a baseline. And btw there was an awd dedicated race car there and i was definately squating harder than him.

Yeah, I did it to try to increase my ability to launch a lil but the track just wasn't capable of handling the shock on the tires with the stock suspension. I saw some pics that the track photographer took and it was obvious that i was unloading a ton of weight off the front end due to the stock...

So Went to the local track tonight (1/8 mile) AKA Barona Drag strip and found out the hard way that when you run large rims, don't drop your tire pressure to 22# at the track. I was just going to make a few passes and try to get some time behind the wheel on the drag strip when i spun the wheel...

The problem is .... I don't have the 4g63 so finding the right mani is a bit harder when trying to do a budget turbo kit as i wanted

the other problem i was refering to was my previosly post listing the current symptons

I'm thinking it aint possible but...is it possible to mount a 14b turbo on a manifold designed for the t-3, or do you need one specificly need one for the 14b? I'm asking because i have a friend who is going to give me the 14b i just neeed to make sure to get the right manifold.

ok, I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong but i've been tought that coming from the exhaust would lead me to believe a head gasket would be leaking. it's possible that a leaking line took all the coolant from the head and overheated the head causing a coolant leak into one of the...

here's some more info on my stats....I'm an airwinger going as a hazardous material rep.lol don't think i'll see outside the fence lines. What do your wives do to pass the time while your gone? what do they do to not get bored or lonely with you gone?

I've seen some other post and thought i would make my own... USMC married making first deployment after 3 years of service (kinda late for us I know). just looking for comments/suggestions/questions about deploying and some advice for prepping my wife for this (only been married about 15...

yeah, pulled the intake tube off and could clearly see it. it's dripping onto the heater hoses and dripping down from there. just kinda concerned where this other problem is from.

ok, so here's the list of current problems. 1. rough idle 2. poor take off -3000 rpms in low gears 3. throwing misfire code #1 only 4. in 4th i couldn't get passed 4500 tonight 5. oil leak from the cam pos. sens. 6. feels like a hard miss under load (mostly upper gears) 7. exhaust will...

Well, thank you all for responding however after about a 45 minute inspection on this issue myself, I have relized that it isn't my hg at all. I have now had 2 shops in San Diego tell me a wrong diagnosis first it was the rear main seal, next the hg all because the camshaft positioning sensor...

Well said. I'm sure the career you picked helps out a ton....Military won't even give me the money to turbo let alone what you do! It's awesome to see these numbers. Can't wait to see some videos of your car.

Absolute, here's my email... [email protected] if you aren't to busy could you send me those pages.... like you said the more i can read up prior the better. Just looking for a better idea of what i'm getting into with this dohc... really haven't messed with them too much

are you spinning bad, or just afraid of launching any harder? What's the tire pressure like? Also what's the suspension setup like?There are alot of other things that you can do to increase your 60ft withg your current burnout. Remember weight transfer in a fwd is unavoidable but bad. if...

Damn, if you push 800 that'll be sick. is there any chance of doing some lightening? 3200 sounds heavy you still running a full interior? definately sounds like your car needs a diet. LOL I wish I had your car...Mad props man!

Tim, what's the car's wieght? if it's in the 2200-2300 lbs range i'm thinking if you could hook you may be looking in the 8's? sounds right for the power

if your running down to 8 psi or less i suggest that you get them screwed to the wheels. as far as tires are, you should have plenty of tire to handle 400 hp how is your suspension set up? if it'sa complete drag car, get the hardest rear srings you can with a hard shock. this will keep the...

just wondering, are any specialty tools required for the r/r of the hg? I heard something about compressing the tensioner and it being hydraulic but haven't dealt with them before?

Absolute, thanks for the info... that's exactly what i was hoping for... like i said, i'm completely capible of doin the job (I'm a diesel tech) it's just there was a couple of things i couldn't figure out and i have seen wrong info in a haynes before.... It was for a chevy though.

Actually i'm in the Marine Corps. just happen to be an airwinger though.

The reason why i'm not touching the belts is because the are all new (within 15k) also the water appears decently new with no issues.... I just bought the car and i need to get the head to stop externally leaking oil. Like i aslo said before, this needs to be done on a budget, i understand...

nice numbers!!! Like other have said I wish i could make that much power. I'm guessing the 10.00afr is what your looking to tune better? If i'm not mistaken it shoul be closer to 12 right?

Ok, so i have a 99 420a eclipse that i need to do a head gasket on. This is my daily driver and can't have it down for super long. All i am looking for is to replace the hg and other gaskets that it may need along the way. I have done my research and the only major questions i have now are...

let me clarify the getting waved pass... it was also during the san diego wild fires when they were evacuating a lot of people. slowest person on the freeway was doing 70-75mph. I also have witnesses(unfortunately not on here) that has seen a bike cop white in between myself and another car...

I'm just guessing but being though he said simulation that they were dummy rounds. dummy rounds always have issues. normally the m16's don't mess up unless their extremely dirty. If they weren't reliable then the military would have dropped them long time ago, and they haven't. the a4 and...

I'm glad i live in san diego, cops don't care as long as your not weaving through traffic. I was going 80 todayand had a cop riding my ass just so i would move over so e could keep going. I also previously watched a sheriff wave me past him as he was doin 80+ and i was doin 90+ in the left...

That's strange, I've popped off over 200 rounds straight with no problems....including about 50 rounds of burst. IF your having issues i'm guessing that is because your using blanks. i just don't understand why the gunner in the rear only has an m16. i would expect at least a 240. Also...
