    Dash/Climate Control lights go out.

    mine did that. the combination switch/headlight/turn signal stalk is faulty. whenever i turned the headlights on, the guage cluster and dash illumination would flicker on and off. i could make it do it by jiggling the stalk, or the end of it (headlight switch portion) or by pressing the...

    map ecu 2 two-step video

    it depends on how you setup the anti-lag or 2-step. you MUST retard the timing for when the anti-lag engages. when i setup my friends AEM, i retarded the timing with 2-step engaged all the way down to 10*BTDC. i set the ignition cut at 4500 and the fuel cut at 4800rpm. with it set up like...

    Quick MapECU question

    for the record, the map ecu does not emulate a narrow band signal. it can, however, operate the heater circuit on a 4-wire sensor. also, the yellow wire on the Map ECU harness is for 0-4v wideband sensors. SOME widebands do NOT go all the way up to 5v. some only go up to 3.5v. if you KNOW...

    stock CT spking; improve WG with port and new flapper?

    yo jack... well thats fairly reassuring if others have had good luck w/ the stock flapper and just working with that. i suppose i oughta start out with porting the stock hole for the flapper. i think ill take it out to about 30mm then. i also had an small urge to port the stock manifold while im...

    stock CT spking; improve WG with port and new flapper?

    yeah, there is a fair bit of room. there is at 5mm that can be taken from the original diameter, 8mm if you wanna get crazy. the stock flapper is 33mm and the stock hole is 23mm, so there is about 10mm of total seat area. doing 8mm would be cutting it close, no pun intended.

    stock CT spking; improve WG with port and new flapper?

    so, i just put a decent fuel map on my car after converting over to Map-ECU. interestingly enough, i took their 550cc fuel map and scaled it 22% to compensate for my 440's and it was actually Too rich. it was hitting fuel cut in 2nd gear and up, at 3500 rpms. so, i took the original 550cc map...

    Pics of my new wheels, CCW Classics! :)

    no i read that... i thought coilovers had MORE clearance inside the fender than the stock suspension setup. do they not? also, at what ride height does the suspension begin to cause the wheel/hub assembly to get closer to the car? is it when the vehicle is lowered to the point that the...

    Pics of my new wheels, CCW Classics! :)

    me thinks you may have ended up with too Little offset on the rear :( i have +44 and 10" wides in the rear with no rubbing on the inside area of the car. all my car needs is to have the fender lip flattened and thered be no interference ever. +38 sounds like an offset for the front, honestly...

    Dyno sheet thread

    wardog, how did you only get to 105mph on the wheel speed if 4th gear is supposed to go to about 120ish? do you have short gears or something? your torque looks fairly strong. not bad at all for only 11-12psi. you should be able to pull out low 400's closer to 20psi... or at least near the...

    Wheel Fitment & Question Thread

    Duane, Do you mean step lip as in a 17" wheel using a center from a 16" wheel? the only technical application of that term ive ever heard was from Fikse when they made a step lip 18" wheel using a 17" face. the wheel Looked small due to the lack of diameter on the face. i think that wheel is...

    engine torque strut/brace for 89+ mounts...

    awesome,that makes me happy. looks just like what i had in mind. yours would probably cost less than if i tried to make my own... i just hope your 89+ brackets arent too expensive. you know, youd think theyd put these struts on the liquid mounts rather than the older ones. several of my cars...
