    Need help with a custon downpipe for my T3 20g!

    hahn racecraft has a 3 bolt. This laser-cut, .250" thick mild steel flange features a 2.300" opening. i think that is smaller than you need tho. perhaps this is what you need? http://www.extremepsi.com/store/customer/product.php?productid=19206&cat=664&page=1

    Cooler thermostat part#?

    i agree with what you are saying. but, at the same time even with the 180F t'stat the car never ran at 180F. it ran at ~195 to 200 vs 200-215 before. like i said, i havent ran w/ the 160F yet, it was just recommended to me. i thought for $15 id try it out to see how it behaved. one thing to...

    still my all time favorite quote from her: (this was during a court case about something. she was asked about an email she had sent that contridicted what she had said earlier) "oh what i type doesnt mean anything. its just words that i say"

    Cooler thermostat part#?

    yeah i thought 215F was high. but Reg from calgary said oh yeah thats normal. you will see anywhere from 200-215F in operating conditions. i think he said the secondary fan kicks on around 220F. i just wasnt happy with those temps, esp if i was going after big numbers. so i have been...

    2 step

    i too am gonna say you need a standalone. i say this for a couple reasons. with that big of a turbo you are gonna need to raise the rev limit. otherwise you are gonna be stuck w/ a 1000 rpm powerband. also, the injector sizing needed to fuel a turbo that big will have a hard time being...

    Tranny gearing...

    well, i was also gonna mention about tire size. that will have an effect. but it sounds like its all that mad powa! also, ive noticed the stock tach vs afc/mpro/etc to be about ~200 rpm off

    Cooler thermostat part#?

    well im just saying what i was told by napa. i was told i got the last one in the warehouse when it was picked up. i went a couple weeks later to get a buddy one and a different guy told me about them being discontinued and cofirmed what the other guy said. by all means, if you can get one...

    how much HP can you make using the stock throttle body?

    while it may be doable, that doesnt nec mean it is ideal. some people said if you are less than 700hp 3" is plenty and no gain going to 4". contrastly, eric v did 621rw on a lex afm. sure it can be done, but i would have liked to have seen a vpc put on and what difference there was. all i am...

    Cooler thermostat part#?

    i have that t'stat. you might have trouble getting one tho. i had to special order mine since it is discontinued. there might be a few places that have them in a warehouse and when they are gone they are gone. if you are on the east coast dont go to napa since i got the last one in the...

    Poll: Public voice needed. Do you think we should start building cages?

    first time at the drag stip.

    agreed. just need to practice on the 60'. that will really get the et down. generally 1/10th improvement in 60' will translate to 2/10th improvement in et. congrats on getting your first run behind you! so many people dont even do that in fear of looking "dumb". just keep at it, you'll...

    I feel real funny about my new car.

    no there are some that are ma71. supposedly the story goes turbos were selling so well that they ended up putting the turbo motor in the na chassis. also to note, some have a vin tag on the firewall while some just have the rivets were it was supposed to be. either way, ive seen several...

    My CHI2K6 Dyno run

    horsepower and torque will always cross at 5250 rpm. it is a mathmatical equation hp = (rpm * torque) / 5250. only time they will not on the graph is if the hp and tq scaling is not the same. i.e. hp is graphed at 500hp while trq is graphed at 450ft/lb.
