    Drove home with a BHG and Boom!

    personally the usefulness of this thread especially in the tech section is as useful as a case of the hemeriods... so moved to the general forum as this might be a learning experience on what NOT to do....

    msd 8.5mm wires

    Did you compare them to the stock 7m wires? And by that i mean measure one and the OEM Or do you mean short that they don't sit right on the spark plugs? The iridium plugs, you by chance did not use the MKIV spark plug did you?

    High performance starter?

    the issue won't be the starter but the tooth count. GM and Ford have lots of aftermarket high torque starters, but I don't think the tooth count or spacing will be compatible with ours.....

    vented stock hood?

    umm it does. Turbos only work in a very specific rpm window, change pressure ratio and that window moves up or down on the turbo flow graph which coincides with the RPM of the motor hence it moves either left or right ;) Especially since most everyone goes bigger, it has no choice but...

    Advice on Megan coilovers..

    the bilsteins are a special order piece that are then valved to your specification by the likes of WiiAss, GixxerDrew etc. That is why they are custom.

    vented stock hood?

    you better grab my trusty turbo flow calculator and recheck that thought as it shows what happens on a pressure ratio level, the very thing that the exhaust changes. torque is still a function of the motor, "faster spool" or a turbo that comes online early in the rpms. only means that the...

    vented stock hood?

    since you asked, (and be prepared, it will not be nice). they did. lowering, i know the lot of you love to lower the cars with no regards to how it actually affects the suspension geometry. You know, especially the addition to negative camber that gets so screwed up you look like you are...

    Advice on Megan coilovers..

    but the issue is, what are you really adjusting? Rebound with no dampning? Doubtful as you are going to have cross talk. And then how much "adjustment" does each click give and what is it really affecting? Is it linear? Impossible to say without the shock dyno sheets graphing each click.

    JZ coils and standalone EMS's

    and there really is no issue. As long as the dwell time is small enough to be completed in the rpm range, there is no downside. If the dwell time is greater than the time needed per revolution, weak charge will cause a misfire. or in otherwords, IJ is correct.

    vented stock hood?

    let me get this straight Toyota with their R&D department to include wind tunnel testing and countless of million of dollars spent, did not come up with good air flow, but yet, these holes are cut arbitrarily with no rhyme or reason by said aftermarket companies, but no one knows if it infacts...

    Advice on Megan coilovers..

    forgo the generic coil overs (yes that includes Tien). Depending on the budget, custom set of bilstein valved to your car, done.

    sudden rich condition, code 11, fixed by EFI reset

    Victor good plan of attack. :) The O-scope, forgo that for now. Do the visual check first and foremost before slapping the o-scope to that circuit. Once the visual is done http://www.autoshop101.com/forms/h23.pdf page 11/16 unfortunatley it does not reveal voltages but the...

    sudden rich condition, code 11, fixed by EFI reset

    Victor the issue might be that the CPS signal (yes I know, code 11 is not that ;) ) might be shorting the signal wires at the CPS connector itself. My car used to exhibit the same issue, it ran fine and then it sputtered, hiccuped etc. Felt like one of the cylinders was miss firing. Well it...

    Horsepower Calculation from Injector Duty?

    sethron only issue with this is that no injector is linear. So an inector that has 550cc/min @ 100% duty cycle will more than likely have 550@ cc/min @ 85% duty cycle because most injectors are not linear.... how would you know the response curve for the injectors? Paul Yaw over at injector...
