Best one I've seen is made for the LS3 V8. Has a "basket" designed to help catch/condense the oil vapor, and allows you to trap about a quart of oil before you need to dump it. That being said, I'm going to have to just build my own I've decided. Something that combines a strut tower...

No doubt, a "twisted and angled" 1" or 1.5" spacer for this manifold would be awesome! Tilt it down in front towards the snorkle hole, and twist it out away from the motor for more compressor housing clearance. Too bad the place that makes them has not just done that, and produced a...

Here is how to stop your knock. Buy a gallon of Toulene at a paint store. (Figure on spending 6.00 or more for it.) Get a funnel that will allow you pour the Toulene into your gas tank without spilling it all over your paint. This stuff will take the paint off your car, so be careful...

I have one, but only got the spring that was in it, and no spares... Bummer, but I don't plan on changing them out anyway, and I have a EBC to control the boost pressure, so I suppose the springs only set the base boost with the system off. (Mine is the 12psi spring, or would that be 1.2 bar?)...

Well I have the Eman blue, it works, and it works fine. I'd like to get rid of the AFM, and also use the autotune AF ratio function the Ulimate offers. Anyone tried to remove the AFM and use the Ultimate as a speed density setup like they are doing with the Maft Pro? (Should be no reason...

Hey now, don't be using the "F" word around this adjuster.. LOL No fraud in my post, just the truth that works for you. (Again, you guys have to realize this is a game after doing this for going on 10 years now.) 1) You want to make sure you don't have any long lasting spinal or cranial...

IJ, what was the grind on your cams BTW? (IF you were to go larger, where would you go to in other words....) I understand this requires shimless buckets, but this is something I've thought about during the rebuild. I have the BBC springs, and the 1mm OS valves, but kept the stock cams and...

8 months is pretty steep, but obviously you've never done business with Flatlander.... They had my money for about a year, OK just from April to October before I got the parts. (7 months, so why am I complaining... LOL) Oh, that's right, the parts arrived, but they were the wrong ones...

VATN hot sides have been around for years, but as everyone's noted, they have not been very common on passenger cars. Areodyne (SP?) from england was selling VATN setups where they did not even need an oil supply.... You just added oil every now and then, and the turbo was completly self...

Idiot in a pickup truck. Common place. Idiot's friends in a pickup truck. Also Common place. Impact with unsuspecting fault free party? Also too common place. Resolution? 10,000.00 Bodily injury claim settlement. 10,000.00 Vehicle total loss settlement with our friend keeping his...

Those LIPP stainless housings are very nice. Too bad we can't get them to start producing a range of T4 based hot sides, and some CHRA's in stainless while they are at it.... (no rust, and stronger metal.) If anyone is reading, I'd like a T4 based stainless housing, no waste gate thank you...

I'm jumping on the "that's fine" bandwagon. Seen worse ones working just fine with no problems. I would not file my cam caps to reduce ID either. What I did was coat the ID of the cam buckets/caps with Molydisulfied and left the cams alone. (Tried coating a set of cams, did not get all the...

Ok, I know this is old, but there are some good ideas here. Things I've seen that work great as hidden switches. Large Stereo plugs. (Just a hole with the plug removed, and all you need to do is wire the stereo connections together to complete the connection.) Friend of mine has his fuel...

Parts list. 1) Large long bolt. (I just used a metric thread because I have metric taps and dies... but a SAE pip plug would work fine.) 2) Small plug. The bolt is for the head, mine is long enough that I "ported" the end that stuck out into the #6 runner to make it smooth again. So far, no...

I belive this died. Have Schnider grind you a new set off your old ones. (They hard weld the lobes, then grind new profiles etc.) Or bite the bullet and find some used expensive ones. IIRC, Schnider is like 250.00 with your cams as cores. I wonder if we could get the lobes hard...

I have a good two piece laying around, but why not just go with a good alluminum one piece shaft? They seem to be the best combination of light weight, strength and price. (Much more cost effective than my CF unit, and just about the same weight as the CF unit has iron yokes where the alloy ones...

So far, my old crank pulley has worked fine, even on the stroker setup and all it's weird harmonics.... :) (Fingers crossed at this time for many more miles to come.) Don't know that the 700.00 unit would be better than my stocker, they both are rubber damped right? Or is that unit you have...

Using the stock locations for the wire harness gromets is the best idea. there are a few of them. Two are located just inside of the fenders. (Easy to locate, you just pull the fender liners out, and you can see two very nice areas to pass wires on both sides of the vehicle. There are holes...

Interesting discussion. Adding alcohol to your Petrol has always been a way to control detonation and futher cool the combustion chamber. Just adding it straight to your fuel has been done for years in many cities too. (Figure this is in the 10% or less range, mostly to oxygenate the...

Sorry, no pics, but I have mine bolted to the upper tie bar right next to the radiator. Fits there fine with my custom pipes and intake. (The intake and FMIC return both come out the enlarged snorkle hole, just to the side of the PS tank, and also I have my remote Canton oil filter located on...
