http://www.titaniumjoe.com/ Use titanium. If you're doing an straight pipe exhaust for an S13, you only need 2 bends. You can either miter and tig the tube to get your bends or use stainless corners that the Ti pressure fits into. Either way, you can make a super light exhaust out of Ti and it will ...

You cant TIG aluminum unless you get a high frequency TIG, the cheap scratch start TIGs barely weld steel as it is. I bought a Miller 180 w/ spool gun, works great for welding aluminum. IMO this is one of the cheapest solutions for laying a decent weld on aluminum, anything short of a decent TIG or ...

Let the car cool off and pull the intake manifold and take a look at the valves. When my stem seals were leaking, there would be little pools of oil sitting on all of the intake valves after a shut down. Its possibly you installed a stem seal wrong or one of your valve guides is just too worn out. P...

Ahhhh dont quote old threads, makes me sad! I sold this car back in Nov. To answer a couple of the above questions though. If you're blowing headgaskets, you probably need ARP's more than a cometic head gasket. I bought the body kit from rocketz.net, its a knock off of something, the skirts are 180s...

I was running 95' cobra wheels on my car before. The 17X10.5s were 55lbs each with tires in the back. I swapped them for the 03' machined cobra wheels with 255's in the rear and they dropped to 42lbs with tires, made a huge difference. Lighter is wayyy better. If you can settle for 16's, the sportma...

I ordered my valve springs from Summit. The part numbers above are good. You CAN replace valve springs and seals without pulling your head, you just have to pull out the cam and use compressed air on the plug hole to keep the valves shut. You have to use one of the spring compressors that does all t...
Get the colt tri-flow 2. The progressive intake valve action gives wayyy better idle vacuum and intake velocity. Helps a ton if you've removed the flappers and you've stripped the intake manifold down. I switched from the 404 to this cam and my idle bumped up 400rpm and increased by 4 psi with no ch...

Good chrome plating shouldnt flake off, so you should be fine. However they are near chrome powders available that you wont have to worry about getting on the inside of the cover. Like mentioned above, just use aircraft stripper and you're fine. If you want to sand blast it, just block off the port ...

Im not sure what your first sentance means, but basically the tube end of the collector has to have full rounds to weld onto, the turbo side has to miter and meet to fit into your turbo flange. As the angle of the collector changes so will the minimum length you can cut the tubes to, thats all I was...

^ Not really true, one of the fastest KA's in the world was SOHC. A boosted motor is like a turbine engine, the combustion chamber facilitates the burn, but the turbo is going to define the force behind the flow through the engine. You can build a SOHC to make 700-800whp on gasoline just like a DE s...

Unless he's already purchased pistons its not even $300. But even If it was $500. Its worth the piece of mind.

You should be able to get an inch by cutting away the underside of the factory hood, you could get the other inch by modifying the pan or shimming the back of the hood. You could always space the subframe off the unibody and space the mounts from the subframe to get clearance, you would just have to...

If you're going through the trouble of having your block bored and you're spending the $500+ to get forged pistons, you'd be crazy not to spend the extra $200 and get the rods. Pistons alone are $550-600 shipped, you can get piston/rod combo's on ebay for $750-800 shipped. IMO you'd be crazy not too...
