    Engine I.D?

    Turbo blocks have oil squirters under the cylinder bores that spray onto the underside of the pistons. You could also look for an open oil drain flange on the passenger side of the block by the motor mount. A GE would have this blocked off.

    Fuel Pressure Issue

    My Aeromotive sometimes hold pressure and sometimes doesn't after shutting down. In the stock setup (witch it seems like your running because you mentioned a VSV) the vacuum goes from the manifold to a VSV and to the regulator. The purpose of this VSV is to help with hot restart. What it does...

    Quick fuel pump question

    IIRC I found the stock regulator (J-Tube Bypassed) Is a large restriction when used with a walbro at full 12V. When i installed my Aeromotive Regulator (After installing walbro and running with stock regulator) I had to add a bunch of fuel. I believe i have the Aeromotive unit set to 40psi with...

    My ET Street Radials are almost bald and there still not to bad in the rain. Its noticeably worse, (obviously, the ground is wet) but not to the point of danger IMO. Its not even bad around turns, then only spin at 8+psi at lower speeds in first and second. I dont think i would ever run a...

    Branch resonators - ways of reducing exhaust drone

    I see. Im going to try to record a sound file inside the car at the drone RPM. When you anaylise it in audacity, how exactly do you do it? Do you select a certain part of the sound file? If so how much? Also what did you use to make the sound file? When i open a video from my camera it sounds...

    Branch resonators - ways of reducing exhaust drone

    You said i should use one branch with twice the length. But you said you have the drone at the same RPM. Shouldnt our branches be the same? How much of an effect did this have when you were all said and done? On a scale of 1-10, 1 bieng no effect and 10 being the same volume threw out the rpm...

    It can be overwelming. A 2JZ swap will need most of the same parts, just for a JZ setup rather then a 7M Setup. Have you ever driven something with 500-600WHP on the street before? Many people set this goal with little to no experience with this amount of power. 400WHP on the street is more...

    should i even drive it?

    J-Tube is on the side of the block. Follow the return line from the regulator. It goes to a metal tube attached to a plate thats bolted to the block. You need to keep that plate bolted to the block because its covering a hole. I took "should i even drive it" and "Fire it up" As just starting...

    Question one doesnt apply when your looking for the answer to number two. 5-600 RWHP non-half-assed will be as expensive as you choose it to be. Parts for the motor would include: Forged pistons 600-800 Forged connecting rods...

    Auto tranny help

    Using "L" and "2" requires electrical input to the transmission computer telling it you are selecting "2" or "L". Basicly putting the shifter in "L" mechanically engages the clutch in First gear so that it doesnt overrun. Trick to this is that the solenoids still need to select first gear for...

    I just put a pair of Continential DWS on my car and i have to say there simply fantastic. I know there an all season, but they do make the DW summer tire that im sure is just as awesome of a tire. Higher treadwear rating then the bridgestone and higher ranking in its catagory. If the DW rides...
