Re: Rebuilt Title car

I know this is a late response but just wanted to add. I've bought salvage title cars at auction, fixed them ,.got the state to inspect them So that they can have a rebuilt title and then sell them or use them. I can tell you, in the state of Florida at least...the inspection is a joke. If you're go...

Re: Age old distributor off a tooth issue

Sounds like a solid plan, I can't run e85 because I often leave the car sitting for months when I go to work, so I'm limited to 93 and I often use boostane when I tune to the limit which makes a massive difference. My injector seal started leaking now at 15psi... Gotta address that , I also am runni...

Ive been watching your dyno thread....the setup youre about to do is exactly what I wanted ...that Borg Warner looks badass....but I bought this holset brand new years ago and I figure it's time I use it....

Re: Age old distributor off a tooth issue

Re: Age old distributor off a tooth issue

I suppose after sleeping on it though, I realize that if the distributor refuses to go in at the correct orientation while the crank is at tdc....it must mean that the idler gear is off a tooth. I'm gonna pop the valve cover and upper timing cover and if it's off a tooth I'm gonna try the old trick ...

Funny I never thought about the firmware....I have to give that a shot! Appreciate your offer to share the tune but I got a bunch of stuff to try first!

I personally feel that it is a mechanical timing issue but I have to verify its not drifting at high RPMs....wish I was back in fl to work on it 😑

I had a similar issue with the coils seeming kinda weak and not much of an improvement over the stock system. Then I decided to wire the power source for the coils directly to the battery in conjunction with a fused relay system. I ended up being able to run 18 psi on a .40 gap with a t28. These car...

Been a long time....I know. Some of you might remember my t2 setup in the dyno section making 280hp 340tq. Alot of folks said I should have been able to crack 300....never happened.

Re: 1,000hp ka24det

So 250hp per cylinder is no easy,reliable or cheap task.

And honestly I don't think a KA is the best choice...add a few more cylinders to divide the stress and youre goal becomes much more feasable.

Mind you I'm also a big ka fan.

That's a good fun turbo setup, with a proper tune you'll make close to 350wtq and around 260-300whp with stock cams and 100 octane.
