Sorry guys, It looks like the image wasn't loading, I uploaded it somewhere else. It's not the o-ring, it's that black collar on the injector itself, not the rail: http://i30.tinypic.com/6sqps8.jpg It doesn't appear in the FAST diagram on Courtesy Parts, but that Rockauto place has it as as Airtex /...

What is this ring called (pic inside)

Image


What is that black rubber thing around the botton of the injector called? What's the part number? I ordered an o-ring kit and it didn't come with one and I've lost some of them.

Can't find it on courtesy parts either :/

Thanks!

I didn't do the porting myself. I believe the plate was cnc'd that way, and the shop I took it to last time probably just used a die grinder to enlarge it. Honestly I don't even know if it's worth the hassle. The plate is half an inch think i believe. It's TK's plate, but it's a prototype so who kno...

Well my guess would be that there would be great chance of poppin the motor because of detonation. WINRAR. The ideal setup when using methanol is to have the ecu failover to a fallback map when there is NO methanol flow. Meaning that the car is always in failsafe mode UNLESS there is methanol pumpi...

I ended up popping one of the new bolts, it must have been defective as the others went in just fine. It's running again, I'm going to run it hard tonight to see if it leaks.

I'm expecting 230, but we'll see.

So, I took a road trip from Miami to Atlanta, and all it cost me was an injector and my blower. Seal went bad :( Anywho, I sent it back to The High Speed Lab under warranty repair, and had him do a little extra work on it. Picture spam follows. Tomorrow I should be cranking it up. http://img17.image...

117 megs? geez....compress it with an encoder next time. It's your valve lash, it's waaaay too loose. The reason it's quieter when it's cold is because the oil is thicker and is absorbing much of the shock and noise. Re-shim your head and you should be just fine. Crap, I meant to say it's horrible ...

Hey all, I recently purchased a 0 Mile built motor. Forged internals(CP pistons, AMS rods), freshened head, new timing components, all that jazz. The 2nd day I had the motor, it made a noise on startup which has not gone away or gotten better or worse. It's bad when it's cold, tolerable when hot, an...

Unless you're hell bent on rebuilding it yourself, I recommend http://thehighspeedlab.com/. When I got the blower back from him it was doing about 3psi more just about everywhere.
