Well, that makes sense. My Areomotive regulator did not want to go below 24psi IIRC.... New plan. Adjust the fuel pressure down to 25psi (With the vac line clamped off.), and then pull mainscale untill the Vf voltage is about 2.5v, and it should be as good as I'm going to get base wise with...

Thanks man.. The math works out to that 77% number, but I'm with you on the "I'd rather tune with less fuel pressure" than possibly raise the timing up to where it would cause problems. Does anyone know how much the timing actually changes across the KS signal rate? (So as Hertz rate...

Ok, I'm laughing, but I still don't have my car running, and I've got nobody to blame but myself.. :) Did some more math.. (Scary, as I'm no rocket scientist, and do not claim to be by any stretch of the imagination..) New injectors are 780cc PTE sourced Delphi injectors. Stock is 440cc...

Here is a better poll. (And thread.) Have you raced or driven a 88 Vette latey? (Insert whatever year Supra you own...) I have.. It was not a race. The Vette was a dog. Sorry, no contest, and the owner was supprised as hell how nice the MK3 was.. Now, there are C4's with twin turbo, or...

How about this Kai? Take the quality build of our MK3, and put the latest V8/Pushrod tech motor into it? Sounds like a winner to me. We solve the build quality and interior issues of the Vette, and we unfuse a serious power jolt into a car that deserves more power. A LS9 MK3 would...

Stock, the STI is a very capable car, but the MK3 can be built up to be faster for sure. (Keep in mind however, that anything you can do, they can do as well, and AWD is the great equalizer in many cases on street races..) Thus the reason I'm very interested in buying a used S5 here in a few...

Perhaps in 09... Sometime.. And it's going to be a Lexus.. not a Toyota.. (LOL Sure, as if everyone thinks they really are different companies..) No matter what, it is not a replacement Supra. That name appears to be discarded by Toyota for the moment. A shame too, it has great history for...

Back on topic, and to clear up a few things. 1) The mono springs used in the current C7 vettes are made of plastic/composite, and also act as anti-sway bars to some extent, so those can be smaller/lighter. The Z06 version does not use coilovers. 2) Extensive lightweight materials are used...

Send Dr. Jones a PM, he knows more about clutches that I do. I see you trying to use a 1JZ clutch on a 2JZ motor, but since your using the bellhousing and R154 that fit the 1JZ, that should work right? LOL Again, I'm no clutch expert on what works, or does not. Another person who might know...

Excellent. :) Now just decode the marks in the TSRM, and buy those exact same bearings for each main and rod journal.. They should fit perfect just like when it was put together. (There might be a different bearing for each one, and Toyota is the only source of bearings in those sizes that I...

Nice save, and one more reason to always run your 7M anything with ONE EXTRA QUART OF OIL MORE THAN "STOCK". :) Cheap insurance from leaks that older cars tend to develop from cracked lines, or gaskets etc. (Besides, there is plenty of room to run that extra quart, and not have any windage...

3" ID pipe is easy to find.... 2.75" ID is not so easy to find.... Just a thought. :) And if you are running a vented to atmosphere BOV, and are still on the AFM, get ready for the backfires, and rough running... :) (Your venting metered air.. so the TCCS will add the fuel.. but the air...

Leave your PS pump and system in the car. Same goes for the AC system. Just unbolt the compressor and power steering pump, and leave them inside the engine bay. Easy as can be. The whole freon deal is our ignorant politicians at their very best. R134a takes at least 25% more in volume to...

I think the STI's just sound mean, but like a mean sewing machine.. :) They are a blast, and have much more personality than the EVO's of similar power and performance.

I've owned a Subaru flat 4, and it was smooth to redline.. Very nice motor, and other than sounding like a Singer Sewing machine, they are awesome :) The new FSI V8's used by Audi can be had from the 360 range to 420something here in the USDM. (RS4, and the redline on that engine is 8K...

I have never had one fail yet. Been pretty brutal to the tools also. (Have two buffers that were about 30.00 each, appear to be copies of a 400.00 Bosch design, and have worked as needed for years in many classes and demonstrations of how to color sand and buff.) Buy cheap stuff, expect to...

How about my A8? It's "quattro" system works great.. (We have the snow and ice here to prove it.) Best used car deal of the century. V8 power. (Only 300 if you get the older one like mine, but they come in versions up to 360hp in the S8 version.) AWD system that is very good at spreading...

There are a few inherently smooth designs out there. Top of the list for piston engines in vehicles that I know of is the I-6. The movement of the pistons and crankshaft naturally counter balances, so the engine is smoother, requires no counter shaft balance system and is narrow, so you have...

My brother has a desert camo themed Glock .40 compact. It's interesting, but not my style. If I was going to Iraq or Afganistan, the brown pistols would be a good choice I suppose. Or here in the scrub brush, it's pretty brown all summer long too, so it works. Everything I own right now is...

Loose barrel on the PT92? Not sure how that would be possible. The barrel is machined into a set of lugs that lock into the frame as the slide returns forward. It can only be slid back, and then it tilts by dropping the feed ramp/barrel towards the magazine as it ejects the empty brass, and...
