I'm running a TD06 mated up to a regular RT downpipe. Problem is the OE paper gaskets suck balls and if I let the car sit for any extended period of time (not my primary) the damn thing rots/blows out. And changing them sucks. Is there a better solution out there (copper, alum, etc)? I only ask...

I know this should be in the WTB section, but I was hoping to get a faster response here... I need a pair of OE valve spring seats (fit between the head and the spring). I had the Ferrea spring set in my head and am changing to the BC spring set. The BC springs require the OE spring seat and...

Is there a trick or 'special' procedure for reassembling the the spring/keeper/lock while the head is in the car? I can remove the spring assembly no problem, but the challenge (that I can't figure out) is how to get the locks back on the stem without using one of those c-clamp style valve...

What are the constraints (sensor requirements) for open/closed loop operation? My understanding is: closed loop: efi temp switch: >176deg tps: under 70% O2: functioning (in the sense that it works or not) else? I'm sure there is more open: more or less same as above except...

So I have my LC-1 simulating the NB output for the TCCS. This works - but only sometimes. When I do a cold start (wait for WB to heat up, then start car) VF reads 0 (0.01v) the entire key cycle (5min - 40min, doesn't matter). If I start the car (after its been at op temp), then the TCCS shows a...

Couple questions: On my LC1, I have the second analog output feeding the ECU. I had been doing some tuning, cross referencing between the WB output and VF. I changed the powersource to the LC1 (fused, and gets power from an empty spot in the driver fuse box). Now the VF readings aren't...

I usually like to plug people what they do a great job on things in the buyer/seller area, but I wanted to point out what a great job jdub does with the ceramic coating service that he offers the members of SM. I don't recall every part I've had him do, but overall, the cleanability of parts as...

(cross posted from http://www.fullthrottletech.com/showthread.php?t=3297) question for you guys (new install)- I have a real bad rpm stumble at initial tip in of the throttle, as well as a bad hesitation right around 2k. I tried fooling with the tps enrich and decay settings, and it...

I was installing my LC-1 and intend on using one of the analog outputs to feed the tccs the NB signal. Innovative reccomends using a circuit fused with a min of 5 amps. Does anyone know the amperage draw on the factory O2 heater? B and B1 on the ecu is fused at 15amps (efi fuse) - so I didn't...

Quick question - I was getting ready to put my VSV's on my motor (on the stand) and realized that I have 2 that are the same - both FPU VSV's. I don't have an EGR valve (as per spec'd by the book). This seems to be a problem... In testing the VSV's two weeks ago, I didn't make the...

Does anyone know if these plugs are part of the oil system? They look like they are part of the oil rail for the oil squirters - I haven't taken the squirters out to see of light passes from the plug (outside of block) into the rail or not... off hand, does anyone know if these are NPT or BSP...

I have a set of non-name O/S valves that I pulled from a head w/ ~8K on it. The stems have quite a bit of wear on them (bronze guides were installed when the head was rebuilt - i didn't own it at this point) - some of them through the chrome. the intakes are p/n: P3834hpc the exhaust are...

Boys and girls- If you were ever thinking about having some parts coated, look no further than Jdub - he did an incredible job on the stuff I've sent him (with more to be done). I posted an A+ in the buyers/sellers forum with pics, but I wanted to post in here so everyone else could see...

Not to compete with GT's lowering thread, thought i would throw in some pics of the koni/tanabe spring combo that i decided to put in tonight. These are only after pics, since it was already dropped with the JIC's that i had in there already... start w/ koni: add spring: bolt on car...

After a few years of rattling my teeth with some JIC FLT-2's, i was looking at going back to a more 'civilized' shock/spring set-up while maintaining some of my bumper-dragging ride height. I know that bilstien's have an adjustable spring mount - has anyone tried the combo? While i'm not...

I came accross this flywheel the other day, was wondering if anyone has used it or not. http://www.catpep.com/catproducts/importengineparts/sfiflywheel.asp another picture: http://www.catpep.com/catproducts/productsdetails/FWA-3000TT.asp I have a feeling its a crappy knockoff, but wanted...
