very interesting how you have reinforced it. I may try something similar. The idea I had in my head was real close to that. I guess I will let you guys know how well it holds up after a few hard launches this season.

Am I the only one without traction issues????

I like the Centerforce Dual Friction. I love the holding power. I have dyno'd 410ftlb and I have sprayed a 150hp shot at the track on it. It is EXTREMELY streetable. I love the RPS but for a street car I highly recommend this Centerforce. Remember it is the ORANGE pressure plate, not the gold one.

The first car that I had these issues with, gave a knocking sound like a center support bearing noise. I lifted the car up and the cradle was cracked in about 7 different spots. We replaced the cradle and welded strips of steel over the spots where the cradle had cracked. I run into this issue...

When I first put mine together, I had a similar noise. My noise sounded like it was coming from the head (valve noise or other). I was enraged when I first heard the noise and feared having to tear the engine back down. So in my anger, I turned the boost up to 20psi and tore up the road like a...

Check wastegate. If available install a boost controller to try to turn the boost down. More than likely though, you are going to end up installing a FCD or something else to get around the fuel cut. The modded turbo I believe is the source of this problem. In the past, I have turned up the...

I have had my head decked several times. I am only using a 1.2mm MLS head gasket. And since decking the block .028" and going to the MLS I havent had any overheating issues nor any preignition issues at high boost Like I was expecting.

I like that idea.

I am unsure exactly. But the EMS has a constant 12V output just for the fuel pump. I am running my fuel pump off a 12v switched source for fuel cutoff safety reasons, instead of running from the EMS. Check your manual, but I do believe that the EMS is constant 12v

Mount as close to the TB as possible. It will be more efficient and louder, I had a customer mount his pre-intercooler and had experienced some "funky" issues and I moved the bov to a proper location and it cured it.

call Carquest or NAPA. Both of these guys get their parts from a wholesale dealer that distributes OEM or NipponDenso parts for import cars.

I don't remember ever running into any problems with the CPS swap but I am unsure of the TPS and the coil packs do interchange ( I have a spare set of those from an 89 for my 88)

I will try to dig up some ol pics for you.

Well the NA auto tranny I had lasted one pass, while the turbo versions lasted a weekend. That is until I figured the cooling issue out, so I don't know what exactly is different, but there is something different between the two. I was laying down about 430whp with 500ftlb and spraying 150hp...
