    breaking u joints

    Take the drive shaft out or put it in neutral, pull the parking brake so the tires dont turn, then twist the pinion back and fourth, there shouldnt be much of any backlash. If it moves more then 1/8 inch thats alot. If thats excessively loose, It could be why your breaking u-joints. The...

    Fixing other peoples fuck ups need help with a few things

    The Honey comb just straightens the airflow out into the sensor. The vortex is created inside the sensor. The speed of the air makes a small piece of reflective foil vibrate or wiggle inside the sensor. A photo sensor measures the rate of movement and outputs a frequency signal. That coupled...

    RSR Ran Up.... anyone thinking of trying it?

    I just dont see how it would help that drastically. I cant imagine that rod bearings riding on a layer of oil without contact would have enough drag with conventional oil, that adding something "slipperier" to the oil would really free it up enough to make a measurable amount more power. All...

    Holy WTF with MAFT GEN 2 IS ANYONE RUNNIN THIS YET!!!!!!!!!

    What do you have it set to? I had one but now im standalone. Zero it out and go from there. Make sure your fuel pressure is set right. When you start it go to the monitor and look at the airflow. When you rev it does it increase? Do you have a wideband?

    Need help deleting the ABS?

    Nash, No offense, but your (or anyone elses) argument of stopping a car quicker without ABS goes out the window as ABS Is not designed to yield shorter stopping distances. It actually is known to increase straight line stopping distance when utilized. However you cannot stop in the same...

    Water/Meth and High boost coming. Time for tuning help/suggestions/experience.

    :biglaugh: Im actually surprised at how well the engine runs with my street guesswork tune. Im VERY interested to see what i find on the dyno when i bump the timing to to find its peak. Im hoping theres more timing left in the tune to help with my high EGT's Though i think it may just be...

    Water/Meth and High boost coming. Time for tuning help/suggestions/experience.

    Im a firm believer in staying on the rich side. Im currently in the low 11's the whole RPM range at boost. I cant say i really want to go much leaner then that. The only thing i want to stress is not to assume its the same as tuning with plain pump gas. When adding in different fuels you...

    Water/Meth and High boost coming. Time for tuning help/suggestions/experience.

    I run 50/50 and have done weeks, months maybe of research and these are my opinions based upon information i have found and considered. Methanol is a fuel but it burns in an entirely different manor then gasoline. Water is not a fuel so therefore it will pass threw an engine without any...
