Great reply!

Spoke too soon. Still leaking at the intake manifold gasket coolant passage. Dammit..

Sure. I'm pretty busy these days, so my response time can be a bit slow. I finally traced down my coolant leak and fixed it. Woo hoo! The front lower intake manifold nut had backed out and it was leaking past the intake gasket. Tightened the nut down with some Loctite on it and I can't find any more...

Mine still works fine after years of E85 use.

i tried adding a "brake booster vacuum pump" to my setup and didnt really help like i thought it would. More testing once i finish the dual rear calipers to be able to build boost standing still. Was thinking of using my ac compressor as a vacuum pump rather than a real engine vacuum pump...

What's your crankcase vent setup Adam? Very nice build by the way, I'm just starting my 4th KA-T build... Can't get enough of these things and I haven't blow one up yet, lol I'm using Greaser's PCV setup. Search on here and you'll find several threads on it. I finally got my own "garage"....

I like the custom catch can. Nice work.

They sell them specifically for the KA. I'm running them as well:

I was coming home yesterday and had a little fun with a red GTR on the highway. Whatever he had done to it, it was pretty quick. I sure couldn't pull away from him. Halfway through the top of 4th gear, I depleted my PCV vacuum tank. I pressurized the crankcase, blew the dipstick out, which made a hu...

He was on here for a while but didn't post a whole lot: memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=5111

I think Supakat knows him.

Also, great minds think alike: viewtopic.php?f=9&t=62951

Lol, yeah, I definitely prefer turbo at this point. I had never even ridden in a 500 hp car before this build, much less built and drove one! Here is the highway run against the C6 Corvette: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X3BbwhngqcM Also, after talking to some other knowledgeable tuners, I decided ...

I had a little fun last weekend with some friends on some twisty back roads. I'm still editing video footage, and I'm having to learn new software and I just haven't had much time to mess with it. It's Pinnacle 20. Hopefully I can go through it all and get it uploaded soon. Here's a little group pic...

I had to delete that first video. Here it is again: https://youtu.be/AgUPrWj95NQ

I'll post a slip from my next time at the track. The last 2 runs were just shakedown runs

Photobucket. I already had a paid account before all of this happened, although i don't pay anywhere near $39.99 a month. And there's no way I'm paying that much. I keep checking my pics wondering if they are.going to shut them down, but so far, so good.

I'm running the LQ9/LS2 coils too. They're known as the D585 coils and they're one of the more powerful OEM coils you can get. I'm running NGK BKR7EIX iridium plugs with .030" gap and haven't had a single spark issue all the way up to 24 psi. Those coils plus the iridium plugs is just a great c...

It didn't go as well as planned and I only got two runs in. First off, I wasn't allowed to do a burnout and I'm still not sure why. Someone in a Mini Cooper had mentioned earlier that they would probably wave me around the water box and that's exactly what they did. It's not like I'm going to roll d...

Thanks, poot! Well, the weather changed for the better. Test and tune night at the track is tomorrow and there's no rain expected, so I'm going for it. I have no helmet and no safety equipment, so I won't be surprised if I only get a pass or two in before they shut me down. Kill mode engaged: http:/...

Do you have a link or part number for the ones you run? Well, I have good news. The car is finally back to around the same boost/power as it was right before I pulled the Nistune setup. I have Ethanol content up to 77% now. On 21 psi, it's a beast. I can feel the back end getting squirrelly through ...

Yeah, I've been told that I'm being too picky about the BOV noise. So, I'll just deal with it. It just really blows the sleeper status, but I'm not sure if recirculating it would even make it any quieter. Will the Bosch plastic valves hold 20+ psi? Duron, the fuse box cover is the stock cover. I rem...

I cut my bracket/clamp off. I also used a long screwdriver and dead blow hammer to knock mine in good and tight.

Awe.. it sucks seeing someone else drive off with your baby. For serious/dedicated car guys like us, it's almost like losing a family member. 11 years is a long a55 time. I'm sure you've had a ton of good (and bad) memories in that car. I've had mine since 2001. I dread the day when I will have to s...

Awesome work so far. This thing is going to be a monster.

So, as many people told me would eventually happen... I'm starting to get tired of this loud-ass BOV! It sounds awesome when I'm letting off on a high boost run, but it's just too loud and opens up way too often when just lightly accelerating. Thankfully, Tial sells the QR lower housing for $56 that...

Great additional info on the washer sizes. Makes me wish I would have gone with the RB studs

I considered that but I figured they would run a little cooler up front behind the radiator fan. They have heat sinks on them, so I assume cooler is probably better for the life of the coil... http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j314/jefrom19/GIFs%20and%20smileys/dunno.gif I honestly hated having to c...

Does it blend between two tables (like the secondary knock table during knock)? No, not really. My NISTUNE flex fuel setup had full sized maps for flex fuel that were blended with the primary maps based on ethanol content, which I really liked. Nismotronic only has a few small tables that cover sec...

Can you post a pic? All the TPS sensors I've dealt with in my car have only had 3 wires going to them, so I'm still not sure what you mean.

I'm not even sure what an "idle switch" is...?

Valve lash should ALWAYS be checked when installing new cams and adjusted if necessary.
