Didn't you know he wears gloves? Can't afford to get those pretty engineer's hands dirty! ;)

No. I would look elsewhere for turbo work. Manifold pressure and turbo revolution speed are only vaguely related - there are several other large factors that should be taken into account.

Agreed. Water / Methanol injection keep the engine cleaner, and provides other benefits as well - like the ability to run more boost.

Hellas are a good headlight, but they don't convert to HID well. If you are sure you want HID in the future, cut up the housings you have and put proper projectors inside of them. It's been done a few times by now.

Those headlights need to go in the trash. They aren't the absolute worst I've seen, but they are damn close. There are sealed beams with better performance than those...

Falken still makes a 14" - Falken AZENIS RT-615K. Damn fine tire...

There's a bit of a story behind mine. Long before the internet, folks communicated through telephone modems using systems called Bulletin Board Systems, or BBSs. I ran one of these, with quite the group of users. The users were split into a lot more security levels than we tend to use today...

I haven't seen an Android client for aftermarket ECUs yet, which is a shame. This is why I bought an Asus EEE Slate, it's a full windows 7 tablet, runs my Vipec software perfectly. Still working on the mount. Whiteline makes a good set of swaybars, they are available from George at Raptor...

It's unlikely that the head itself is toast... head GASKET might be a problem, it's relatively common on these. However, it's not a terribly difficult fix, and it's not very expensive if you swing your own wrenches.

That's pretty cheap for a chassis with very little mileage... any idea what's wrong?

They were recommended to me many years ago as top notch units. I've used them several times since then, and I've never had any problems with them, so... don't mess with something that isn't broken.

You sure it's locked? There's a checkbox that needs to be selected to revive really old threads... post a link to it, the only one I can find in the build area is your 'shiny' thread.

This really depends on the tires you are running - not so much the size, although that has some effect, but more the tread compound, tread pattern, and exterior temperatures. Running Kumho V.70 race tire, with external temps above about 90F, I can hook any gear with 570 whp. With tires a...

I'll point this out again, because some folks seem to have missed it in the first post...

Those are pretty rare by now, mostly because they've been superseded by newer technology. There were a number of methods for mounting the additional injectors - I've seen 2 mounted in the side of the intake manifold, or two mounted to the 3000 pipe on the top of the engine. I've also seen 6...

Also, keep in mind that a 5v or 0v reading on vF doesn't necessarily mean your engine is running way outside of it's regular values - what it means is your ECU *thinks* it's running outside of parameters, and is attempting to correct it by as much as it is allowed. There is a significant...

I'll do that right after yours runs for 30 days in a row.

Not likely... the internet access in a tent slum is awful.

I bought my Greddy to give girls something to lean on when bending over the engine bay.
