    Care to explain?

    Who makes a good battery?

    Diehard Gold, put on a 2x6 block on the concrete garage floor. 2 years later it provided enough cranking to fill and pressurize the oil system and start the motor several times. :icon_razz The problem I have is outgassing. I made Sears replace the battery and guess what - 5 months later...

    Quick Q: How to remove stock oil filter?

    As others have said, when installed properly they usually come off by hand. If not, I found this oil filter wrench based on a coil spring somewhere in the bottom of one of my father's toolboxes long ago...

    Wow! I miss All-Data. This is huge. Thank you very much! Hopefully will save me from buying a few manuals for my other vehicles. Hmm, looks like there's only one license - got logged out halfway through the session. So, be careful as you use this guys. I recommend just downloading the...

    my igniton system sucks.. part2

    The sensor was getting TOO hot. Maybe too much pressure or too turbulent of air. This is with an NTK sensor.

    my igniton system sucks.. part2

    Where is the O2 sensor mounted? I recently had a car where the wideband O2 sensor was ~2" from the v-band clamp off the turbine. After richening up the supposed 12.8:1 mixtures it misfired like a bitch. Moved the o2 sensor about 6" away and 12.8:1 was now 10.8:1. This only became obvious...

    Death to freeze plugs (or at least this one)

    drill a bigger hole, multiple holes, to weaken the freeze plug. Use a bigger screw/bolt and pry on it. The freeze plug should bend. Keep working on it and it will weaken and break apart/come out.

    How! I blow up one core plug from the side of the exhaust side?

    I've blown out two. In my case they were Doorman that my machine shop fitted "close enough".

    my igniton system sucks.. part2

    Nix the autolites. NGK Copper BCPR6ES, .028-.030 gap. I run 25-35 psi on these with an otherwise STOCK ignition. Actually, sounds like your ignition system is working. Is the fuel mixture too rich? That will cause it to misfire.

    Engine Management Suggestions

    VPC *will* work with 720's and a s-af(c|r). It's the ignition timing map in the stock ECU that is the problem. Lower the fuel pressure a little bit and you should be somewhere on the useable side of "the edge". My opinion however - it sucks. That's why I sold it along with all of the...

    Can a CPS output be dependent on temperature?

    Yeah, knock sensing is a little more important on the turbo motor when you have warranties to worry about.

    Can a CPS output be dependent on temperature?

    two knock sensors are needed regardless of it being "active" or not due to the length of the block. This sounds like a misadjusted or failing TPS to me.

    Ohio supra & sports car meet 2006

    Hope you got the part where that mk3 turbo destroyed you when it finally got traction in third. :-) It's been about 7 years since I've run at Kilkare or any drag strip for that matter, and the mk3 wheel hop just kills me (I'll be checking the traction bars here shortly). Your numbers aren't...

    530 rwhp was easy to me - first try on the dyno. Yes, I "putt around on low boost" over...400 rwhp. Lower if I'm tired or in traffic, etc because I simply don't need/can't use all of that power on the street anyways. Funny the above comments coming from an n/a owner? Have you driven a...
