Problem for lance is she plays world of warcraft, and posted on some lame forums that they have a ton of pastey nerds who have never been laid. Somehow they think that by voting for her they will get laid by her.

A good dood, Lance K. is in the final four at his local radio station's march mustache contest, the grand price is a tow vehicle for his race/drift car. I couldn't stand to see trendy tattoo girl win... If you could, Please vote for him at this website: http://www.jackmustachemadness.com/finalfour.a...

First off more narrow mindedness: you don't know me, you have no clue who I am, what i've done. I could be a military commander for all you know so don't judge me on my fighting for freedom. For you to be audacious enough to call me narrow-minded and then say that fighting in a war is the only way t...

Listen hear guy, I don't know who died and made your narrow minded opinion mean sht, but I've been to Iraq, I've seen what a car bomb will do to someone. I would without hesitation shoot ANYONE of ANY AGE to save my life or the life of my fellow soldiers. Until you have been there and see what REAL...

seems that reliable stock-block KA-t's have a few things in common: Fluke "strong" pistons, and a very reliable conservative tune. So my question since you can't control the piston strength is: Who tuned it and what are the specs? I see your AFRs, was the WB calibrated correctly, what did ...

both have public URLS, they both claim to sell parts to whomever. Who's not open to the public?

actually I do, but why would I tell you since you seem to know everything. On the tire pressure it depends on the tire as I said earlier on g-force i run 35psi Hankooks require more since there side wall is not very stiff. Have you even ever driven on Hankooks RS2 Ventus ? If not you may stop posti...

I'm pretty sure it's flat, although I've never heard of a "stepped" flywheel. I'm guessing they mean something like how a Miata flywheel looks: http://www.flyinmiata.com/Store/images/08-26000.jpg See how the pressure plate mounting points are raised/offset/stepped? versus a KA: http://www...

Matt, are you using the Derale sandwich plate with integrated temp switch? Or a different one? I don't see why the one I found on Summit (Derale) wouldn't work. Anyone else? which ones are you using? the company is called "transdapt" I found it on ebay. It has a thermo activated restricto...

it really all depends on EVERYTHING. What bumpers your running, how the car is ducted up front. How functional the vents actually are, how your rad/IC is setup. It's allll part of it.

Vents are only as good as their ducting.

I ran 18x12s on my car! But you need to use a fender roller, that actually pulls the fenders out.

a lot of people rent them out, or you can buy them @ http://www.eastwood.com

roll those fenders!

twin scroll is designed to use the sequenced pulses of your exhaust to spool the turbo, so instead of just exhaust pressure you actually are also using shock waves of energy in the form of heat/pressure/sound to spool the turbo, when a manifold is correctly designed you can gain good response from t...

ah hah! so I was wrong, it provides a slight negative impact, unless you have compressor surge, in which case it helps.

with the 15% gasoline this prevents most problems that would occur with methanol, or straight ethanol.

I'm not going to try and explain it because i'll fudge it up. Almost everything you ever want to know about turbo stuff and what it all means:

But the high octane rating is more than enough to ignore the almost 30% in overall price difference for most people? I enjoy daily driving far too much. Perhaps building a system that could run on a mixture would be better. Empty her out on the way to the strip, then top it up with e85. However, my...

its octane equivalent rating is 105-110. And is usually very close to the price of regular gasoline, however on average E85 needs to be 27% cheaper to be equal as far as miles per dollar.

ehh, too damn cold to be running E85 in chi-town anyways... ill wait till february then take a stab at it...tunings already a bi*ch anyways, dont need more variables thrown into the equation not really too cold. E85 available at the pump is actually E70 in colder climates and during the winter. Thi...

Shroud porting is done to prevent/combat compressor surge, giving a larger high efficiency range on the compressor map. is that when there are little holes drilled in the intake side of the turbo just outside the intake inducers? if so...how does that work there are different types, and yes, that's...

i only mention spooling too fast, cause i have seen it mentioned before, that is why i also started a thread in the basic section about lighter flywheels, and the effects on a turbo car. I have read that with a lighter flywheel, and an already fast spooling turbo, your powerband wont really get tou...

Did you have any drop in your oil pressure after installing the oil cooler? actually...i'm going to catch **** for this...but, I didn't have a gauge pre-oil cooler. So I'm not sure. I don't see why there would be a fluid drop other than hose expansion. Oil is not a compressible fluid like gas, ther...

what's your application?


bb is usually better, however they're rarely rebuildable, they require a much more precise setup as far as oil feed/pressure among other things.

Shroud porting is done to prevent/combat compressor surge, giving a larger high efficiency range on the compressor map.

it was a loose comparison. I haven't driven many SRs, and i drive my car like 10 times a year.

But sure, it seems much more smooth, and the response is awesome!

I LOVE my clutch/flywheel combo. 19.5lbs total, and now it revs like an SR...totally changed the engine dynamic.

I run a setrab 11"x8"x1.75" dual pass setup w/ 8an feed and return fed by an oil filter sandwich with integrated thermostat. Noticed a HUGE difference especially with the drifting. For a while it was difficult to keep the car under 210*F after a couple of laps and would want to keep r...

what sort of revs do you plan on running?

Balancing 4 cyl. cranks isn't usually necessary like V8 stuff. If you plan on turning A LOT more revs than stock, it's a good idea just to be more precise in your balancing. If you knife edge then you have to balance, but I think you'll be just fine.

meah, it's Canada, I can sympathize now. It's just that knowing Americans(explained below), and having helped sanction events helmets are a MUST because of our insurance companies. If you're American and someone doesn't tell you to protect your life, you can blame them for not telling you to think, ...

the car has great response, builds boost quickly and holds 20 psi throughout redline. timing is very wierd in that car and we are still trying to nail it down. that engine has bout $10000 into it including everything from the custom log manifold to the equal length header. the car has about 10000 m...

great, a dyno chart....that doesn't show anything about response. How long did that motor last, and what was the build budget? As I listed above, the 334 whp was on 16psi on a base tune, right before the head gasket went up. We plan on running 25psi with rally style anti-lag with this setup, so esti...
