Does this mean that the pressure valve should be installed after the cc output? Because I have it installed before the input.

Guess you managed to bend/break whatever was making contact.

Pfft! I can't masturbate to this! :(

Sounds good. A npt hex plug and some liquid teflon it is. Thanks guys :)

Looping isn't really an option right now. However, if I plug the return at the lower intake manifold, will it leak where the manifold and the head meet? In other words, does it need to be plugged on the head itself?

I should have done this a long time ago. Problem is, I never noticed this coolant return until I was looking at some pictures here on the forums. I realize that the easiest thing to do would have been to just run a line from the coolant pipe that wraps around the back of the block to the return...

I haven't ran power to the car in a while. I think my problem was that I was grounding out somewhere in the engine bay since most the plugs were disconnected and I was missing most of my grounds. I now have 1/0 ga wire from alternator to battery, battery to frame and frame to block. I grounded...

I'm using 1/0 gauge high strand wire from alt to battery, battery to frame and frame to block. Might as well go big since the runs are quite short to begin with, so wire cost is at a minimum. You can have a smaller diameter pulley machined for your alternator to push more amperage at idle. Not...

I have serious reservations believing that the pictured alternator pushes those kind of amps. The alternator appears to be the factory housing. You'd think it would require more than just a rewound coil to increase the amperage over 150%. And in that housing, there's no room for a larger coil...

If you can get $150 for a promotional energy drink bag, I'd say sell it and spend the cash on whatever you want. Otherwise, yes, take the trade. I would. Of course, I don't play golf.

No kidding. I didn't know hardware stores carry bolts with NPT threads in the center. Any idea where I can source a bolt like that?

I don't get it. Did you drill out the bolt and tap the center for the temp probe?

From the VPC manual: Bought mine used from a member long ago. So non no bung :( Can I still source the bung from any online vendors? Good luck man

Can I mount it in the throttle body? The manual states to install the probe in the intake manifold, but not after the cold start injector. I'm afraid the probe will get saturated where ever I install it in the manifold due to the position of the CSI. The manual says that the probe can be...

Search is your friend. This has been discussed numerously. There are several options for you. You can use an MR2 alternator, which is 90 or 110 amps; I forget. You'll have to swap the pulleys. Driftmotion sells a larger Vipre alternator that will work. You can buy rewound factory units pushing...

I prefer getting full enjoyment from my vehicles. Good job tho ;)

Well, that just takes all the fun out of it now doesn't it? :)

How's the material feel now that it's painted? I used AutoMagic Vinyl paint on my interior. Vinyl panels came out great, however, where I sprayed down the rear head liner it feels like sandpaper. I could only get the paint to sit on top of the fibers. I ended up recovering the hatch, lower doors...

Two more: Death trap!

Pretty sure Randy uses aluminized steel. And his pipes are available with all the same options. The BIC ddp I'm currently using is mild steel; but mine is a one off that is completely mandrel bent from one piece; and the aluminized steel wouldn't fit in the mandrel bender. I had Randy add the...
