    1st gear thrust washer pic (R154)

    If the washer was simple enough to duplicate on a manual metal lathe or mill it would be much cheaper than setting up a program on a CNC mill to do it. At least that has been my experiance.

    Gas Mileage?!?! Am I Alone?

    As long as you are not boosting your AFR's should be around 14.7. There is no way you car will get that bad of gas milage unless you boost 90% of the time. Something is wrong. If you ahve no air leaks or error codes I would start by checking your cam gears. Dont trust the marks on them if...

    PICS: Greddy vs. Ebay ( SSAUTOCHROME) Manifold!!! And a sneek peak of the TN monsters

    Headers need to be coated on the INSIDE as well as the out side. If you just coat the outside heat can not escape and the temp of the metal goes way up. Hence the cracking. Take it to a place that can shoot the full length of the inside.

    PICS: Greddy vs. Ebay ( SSAUTOCHROME) Manifold!!! And a sneek peak of the TN monsters

    Full boost (18psi) by 3500 but I am still running the stock cat back. Once boost hits about 10 PSI it basically launches. I am getting a 22cm housing for it also. Your local correct? We should meet up.

    Tial BOV openeing at idle

    Hey guys, I have a Tial BOV with an 11 PSI spring (and I have added a .032" shim). At idle my rpm's start to fluctuate (500-800rpms) and the BOV opens and closes. My EBC says I am pulling about -51cmhg. 1 PSI = 5.17149 cmHg so -51cmhg = -9.86psi. The sping should be plenty stiff no...

    Anyone with PERSONAL experience with Venom 550s??

    I bought 680cc injectors. I had them flow tested at a local shop. Flows were all over the chart. I returned them and Tom was great about getting me a refund. You can search my posts on sf.com to find the actual flow numbers. I cant remember off hand.

    Change vlave spings with head on?

    Hind Sight is 20/20 I may be installing heavier spings so I can raise the rev limit. I know I should have done this during the rebuild but I was not planning on a turbo this big. Ah well. So, now the car is running and I think ok, lets raise rev limit so I can get a wider power band...

    Got off the Phone with Machine Shop about Rebuild...How does this sound?

    If they do a good job balancing then definatley have them do it. You will need to machine the front cover. Thats just asking for a warped head or a BHG on #1. All they should have to do is bolt it on.
