240sxTTE, what the hell is going on with your torque curve? looks like someone took a bite out of the graph at different spots...is that timing/knock/resonance related? Got any finished pics of the engine bay or what this new header looks like? The wavy line is the shorty 4-1 header. The dips are f...

I just finished my NA engine (206whp) that I rev to 7500 rpm. Yes.....I switched from turbo to NA because the durability of a road race turboed KA is not good. I was constantly blowing head gaskets and finally cracked the block. Anyways, I would recommend a 3qt Accusump and overfill the pan 1qt. It ...

The thing that worries me about the upgrade is the 2 bolt holes in the front that supply oil to the cams and the tensioner. Wouldn't it be a good idea to run under cut studs there too or get the holes enlarged? Alonso is right the front two holes are pressurized and feed oil to the cams. The middle...

I can't remember how much material there is around the idler gear threads. I would definitely look into it because a timesert requires a larger hole compared to the helicoil and the flange of the timesert is huge. I put timeserts in the block for 11mm studs and the OD of the timesert threads was 12....

I'd really be interested in a underdrive water pump pulley. I'm going to spin my new NA engine to 8k and would like to slow down the water pump pulley.

I've been considering the A1 studs since my goals are high and I don't want to machine the block for bigger studs. Just wish I could find more reviews, more numbers/dyno sheets, etc using these studs. There's nothing magical. These studs have a min tensile strength of 240kpsi compared to the 180kps...

A1 is the lesser known arp basically. Their products are not crap by any means, and even AMS sometimes sends the A1's in place of the arp's since they're so close.

So, I have been looking som more into this. In order to fit 12mm headstuds al of the holes(except the oil one ) would need to be drilled from 11.4mm to 12.4mm. This would obviusly not cause any problem. The hole that has the oil passage in it could be solved in a couple of ways. 1. Drill the hole t...

I used a #5 (9/16 - 3/4) EZ-out on a broken spark plug in a Miata. It broke in the same spot. Use a magnetic tip tool with a dab of suber glue on the end to get the porcelain out and a shop vac to get any small pieces. Then follow the steps in my original reply. Good luck.

Here's another method. I never tried this way but I would be careful of the electrode being broken off.

Carefully remove the remaining ceramic. Use a shop vac to remove any remaining bits and then follow the instructions. Once you have removed the bottom of the spark plug use the shop vac again. No need to remove the head.

It sounds like an exhaust leak. It's definitely more prominent on the exhaust side of the engine especially when you put the camera near the turbo.

You might have already answered this but I see you are probably the only person on here that has gotten that much tq out of a t2 setup, but why not go to a t3 setup so you can make the same power but with less boost so this way you don't have to drop class's? Also it may be cheaper to go that route...
