One more thing. Untill we dispose of the notion that oil is a "fossil fuel" and get to the real science of oil being a hydrocarbon, that is part of the geology of the earth, we will not see this change happen. 1) The Oil Companies love the idea that oil is a scarce resource, and might run...

Like I said, this is going to take a last term President, who has a natural disaster and high gas prices at the pump to do it. (This is the perfect time, but I do believe your right, he's not going to have the balls to do it. But there is nobody else out there who would at this time, so I...

I was down in Tulsa a few weeks ago, and this 911 with twins sticking out under the rear valance went spooling by on the freeway.. Had to drive the piss out the rental TarAss just to keep up, and rolled down the window in the heat and humidity to listen to the sweet sound of a flat 6 with twins...

Just one thing here I don't agree with, "our limited supplies of oil" statement. The supplies of oil are only limited by people's perception of oil being a limited resourse, because they have been told that from the time they were in diapers. The truth is oil is EVERYWHERE, it's just in...

Check for shorts on your wires to the defroster. (Many times, they get bumped, or damaged, and are shorted out. You need to read resistance across the grid, from side to side. (Just use a ohm meter, and see if there is continuity, or resistance on the heater wires.) Also you have a antenna...

If you use the Bosch type BOV it's going to suck on the exhaust gas when the intake is under vac conditions. (Mine is hardly ever there actually, but I'm running two Bosch type, Porsche spec. valves, and I think it's one of the reasons my engine is so responsive. They act like a short cut for...

The PLX units also have the "narrowband" 0-1 volt setup, and a 0-5 volt wide band output, as well as many other options for either no readout, a readout, datalogging, and even wireless technology so you don't have a cord to your PC, it just has a USB wireless adapter. (nice if you have used a...

Reading this, I agree it does not sound like the fan stopped working at a speed or two, (Resister pack) but just stopped. I'd check the circut breaker in the right kickpanel, and the fuses for the system if you don't have power at the plug/harness. Check to see if there is a aftermarket...

PLX M300 is what I have. The red digital readout is easy to see, and it datalogs when hooked up to the E-01/emanage. I am having trouble with mine right now, but it's a wiring problem, not a problem with the unit I think. (I'm just to busy to find the short right now.) Worked great till I...

Actaully, if anyone could start this, it would be a final term president of the USA. We have the oil resouces right here in the USA. (It would be tight, but it would work.) We could buy oil from outside the country, but that has some serious dangers. You think we just ended up in this...

Ok, so CNG is a great fuel, but it still comes out of the ground. :) And pound for pound, does not have the energy in it petrol does. (Heck, diesel fuel has more energy, but due to the tight emmisions standards, we can't get the good passenger car diesels here in the USA, Thanks Tree Huggers...

That innovate box is too huge. Try PLX, they offer smaller, accurate WB setups, and you can datalog it on your E-01 with the harness. I have this exact setup, and the E-01 reads the same as my PLX AF wise. (Just get the information of what voltage = what AF ratio, plug that into the E-01 and...

I ported my head, and ended up removing quite a bit of material around the valves, and the valve guides on the exhaust side. On the intake side, it was mostly to clean up the machine work, and smooth out the casting marks as much as posible w/o changing the shape too much. Seems to have...

Best book out there on the Deep Hot Earth theory of oil/gas is by Thomas J Gold. (IIRC, I'm trying to find the book right now.) I read it a few years ago after reading the Wall Street Journal article, and a short note about this in Turbo magazine actually. The fact is we can blame the...

Well, so far, in all the Western countries, the governments are holding on to 50's science where it comes to oil and gas production. It really is money driven, I don't disagree with that observation at all, but I think that you can only sell a product to an customer who either has no other...

Over on SF, there has been much talk about the rising price of gas. I thought I'd respond, and get this going over here too. My thoughts on gas prices, and who's responsible. (Ok, so I'm slightly opinionated, but your welcome to add your opinion here since we are ALL getting reamed at the...

If the stroker 7M fails, it's either a 2JZ or LS7 in the MK3 chassis next time around. (Leaning towards the LS7 engine, dry sump and all the other goodies. However, it will be a custom LS7, 7.0L displacment, but about 9:1 CR and a single GT40 out back where the muffler lives today. (STS style...

I know there is oil vapor coming off the valve covers, at least on my older engine. It coated the IC pipes and filled quite a bit of the intercooler with oil condensed out of the air flow. I just don't want to coat the new FMIC and IC pipes, or if I go with a MAFT setup at some point, coat...

The sun roof removes valuable head room, but if your vertically chalanged, it would be a nice option. (The tilt and slide back stock one was a nice design.) That would be a cool upgrade to a early model MK3. Find a good factory sunroof and switches/wires and graft it onto a Targa car. (Just...

Some things to consider. The oil in your open system has absorbed water. The reciever/dryer in your system is now full of water too, and MUST be replaced. I've had good success flushing out old oil with "white gas." This is what you buy in 1 gallon conatiners and burn in Colman lamps. (I...
