    found my electric fan....

    two stage motor & moves 4,200 Cu ft/minute. The dimensions are 24.5"x17"x3.5". All I have to do is get a thermostat & splice into it. Although it's an 1 1/2" narrow & 1" too tall, it should fit nicely & keep it cooler than the stock fan could. Plus, less loss of power.... :icon_bigg

    Brandon, Florida R154 peoples.....

    I have a local transmission rebuilder who happens to be a good friend. He's done work for me on my A430, so I can say his work is top notch. After talking to PSIFactor, I decided to call him about getting her & my R154 overhauled. For a single tranny, he'll charge $300 for the benchwork...

    Anybody know what it is & where it goes? For the life of me I don't remember taking it off, so I have no clue where it goes or what it's for. I looked like a monkey doing arithmetic trying to figure it out.

    Is there such a thing as a BOV that too big?

    I've been looking for a Tial BOV & found a 50mm but I'm curious if it will be too big for my application. I'm going to run 18-19psi thru a 60-1 CT26, so are there any problems with a 50mm?

    HP or torque, which do you prefer?.....

    I just watched the Tampa '05 vids again & saw a lot of MKIV's with a lot of HP, but the Torque was lacking. This made me kinda chuckle. While I respect the few that made high HP numbers (450+), I thought that the torque numbers sucked for 90% of them. Which would you rather have, big HP...

    Romoving the front body harness....

    I'm trying to remove the front body harness completely. To get it through the whole in the engine compartment (where it enters near engine compartment, by the battery), I'm assuming that you have to disconnect it from the fuse panel inside the car. Is this correct or do you have to disconnect...

    engine harness & vacuum lines.....

    I'm in the process of switching to FFI, so since I'm going to make major changes, one other thing I want to do is thin out the crap. I want to maintain the ISC & CSI on the manifold (but relocated to a less conspicuous location), but want to get ride of as much vacuum lines, coolant lines &...
