    w58 with 3.7

    Im assuming that you are refering to the actual excel file and not the chart table in the actaul post??? If so, the calculated numbers (and whats shown in the graphs) of the excel file are actual true road speeds +/- probably 1mph (1.6km/h) due to tire pressure and swell because of speed...

    w58 with 3.7

    Everyone here has talked about speed, RPM and gearing.... But not a single person has mentioned tire size and even a small diameter change in tire size can have a noticable effect on true speed. Just so you know, changing from a 4.30 to a 3.73 rear is a 15% change. So being that you went...

    Suspension question for Wiisass

    Wait, if your thinking that its going to hit when the suspesion moves through its range of motion, dont worry about it... The shock body and lower spring seat move up and down with the wheel... Or you could say that the relationship between the two does not change (or atleast in a way that would...

    Suspension question for Wiisass

    Thats strange that yours seem like they will interfer... My old FN01R-C's (shown in my sig pic) were 17x9's in the rear with a 43 offset and a 275-40-17 on them and there was no interferance If your rears have a 35mm offset, then depending on the width of the wheel, yours should be pushed...

    10.5 inch wide wheels on MA70?

    It all depends on what offset they are... Those sizes might be pushing it just a bit... What size tire are you wanting to run that you need wheels that wide?

    2JZGTE + W58 trans/clutch/flywheel clarifications

    The W58 is a hella lot stronger then most people think.... Its all in how you treat it and how you are with the clutch.... I personally have laid down 472 rwhp in a w58 in my supra. That trans has 300,000 miles on it and its now behind my V8 I also had a W58 in an 1st gen RX7 with a...

    R154 Heavy Duty Single/Twin/Tripple Clutches

    Yeah, I highly suggest doing something to eliminate the clutch switch so you can start without depressing the clutch pedal.. Wiring it up to function with the parking / E-brake is pretty much the only one of two ways that some sort of safety device is employed. Its not a perfect fix but...

    R154 Heavy Duty Single/Twin/Tripple Clutches

    The thrust bearing life has nothing to do with engine load, its the thrust force to being pulled or pushed (depending on clutch setup) on the pressure plate to disengauge the clutch. Yes the mulit disc clutches tend to increase thrust bearing life because of increased surface area but its an...

    Factory Alarm

    Looking at your dash cluster, Canukrz and its lack of a security light and labeling on the far right upper corner of the cluster, I would venture to say that your car did not come with the security system. Now whether or not you car is wired for it is a different story. It could very well be...

    Side mount camera view. Burnout, etc.

    Brad, it is normal for the rear wheels to toe in when the suspension compresses.. It is a geometry design aspect call Roll Underster. Just like just stated, engineers design rear suspenesion cause the rear wheels to toe in when in compression and toe out when in rebound. The opposite happens in...

    V8 Supras

    Good point (sorta) Torque is the work done, but horsepower is how fast it will do that work... So actually we are both right in our own aguement, but both wrong in the others arguement (if that makes any sense). Yes, torque is "a" measure of efficiency but that is only on part of the...

    Track Ready '87 Turbo Hardtop

    Brad, you most likely destroyed them in short order cause they were drilled. A rotor that was not desigen to be drilled should not be drilled. Slots are ok, but drilling a OEM rotor (which is all that 99% of the companies that offer them do) is one of the worse things that you can do. You...

    Track Ready '87 Turbo Hardtop

    Yeah, Cryo'ed rotors aren't always benificial. It really depends on a number of factors including car weight, brake design, the cost of replacements track conditions and so on..... Like exaple here, we run stock O.E. off the shelf rotors on RX-7's In IT. But for example when I had my E-Prod...

    V12 Engine Swap

    There are a number of things that are going to effect its sound. Too many people think that if they have a V12 that its going to sound like a Ferrari or Lambo or something and this is not necessarily try. Engine rev, exhaust design and exhaust length are all major factors in the sound you get...

    Ic piping setup hate or love

    Nash, I dont mind it but if you want a shorter piping track, why not just eliminate the PS or if you want to keep PS, then eliminate the pump and run a MR2 electric drivin PS pump to get the belt drivin pump out of the way and open up room down below...

    If you use shitty fans, yeah they wont work well but a good pair with a proper shroud with cool very well with a good radiator.. There is more to it then just the fans...As for fires, thats just poor wiring... And some N/A cars had an LSD... If it had TEMS, then it had an LSD. Chances are...
