    A moment of silence for Bo today. Even though he is a typical U of M Benidict Arnold.

    Universal Technical Institute (UTI)?

    You can also go to Denver Automotive and Diesel College if you want to work on the crap that I do.

    2 AFM's on one car?

    This is the correct answer. The ECU program would need to be written to understand it.

    Burning oil

    I will use an analogy for the dipstick. Take a 5 gallon bucket, and put 4 gallons of water in it. The level will go 4/5 the way up. Then add another gallon of liquid, like coolant. You have 5 gallons of liquid, but not 5 gallons of water. This is why your dispstick shows full, but you go on a...

    Burning oil

    What you don't have with the repair manual is the TSB's. That is technical service bulletin. It lists recalls and changes that is needed. So if the repair manual changes and you don't know why it would be in the TSB. Here is the correct maintenance schedule for all 7M's...

    Lexus AFM

    I would like everybody to build their own and have it run correctly before you question the price. I am sure you can reproduce the doppler effect that makes the Hz square wave needed, and you will have the LED, photo transitor, and mirror just right.

    Burning oil

    4 stroke combustion will burn oil if it works normally. Turbo or not. No drop on the dipstick is an indicator of contamination.

    After traction, stand alone follows. It is only money.

    Are all you U of M fans ready to have your hearts stomped out again? Lloyd Carr is as bad as John Cooper. Hopefully he stays around a while longer. Ohio State will be the first to play 3 number 1 vs number 2 matchups, and they will probably win all three. USC scores a lot, so it is a...

    Silencers?

    That was done by hitting a 5 or 6 inch adjustable wrench on a cable supporting a utilitiy pole. Try it out.

    I have to say I have not heard any bad things about them.

    Giuliani 2008?

    Yep, that is why they lost. The were not conservative enough. Despite the spin of the press that this was some sort of endorsement of liberalism. I don't think so. I think Americans have very short memories. The candidate that best delivers the idea that he will be more economically right wing...

    some intercooler questions

    Yet the 7MGE (some) owners think they can use a 3" exhaust on a stock displacement/RPM car and it will be usefull. Same rules apply.

    Where do you think Honda got their idea from? :3d_frown: They are the same pricipal. They are manipulating air flow without supercharging the manifold.

    Giuliani 2008?

    Nope. Bill is a liberal. They went after the "mastermind" of different plots, thinking that was all you needed to do. To be fair, I didn't think it would ever happen on our shores either, not like that.

    Giuliani 2008?

    I am not sure if you think it, but you can't think Rudy and Bill are both O.K. in regards to 9-11. They are on completely different pages. Bill said prior to 9-11 they would not go after Al-Queda or Bin Laden specifically, as it would only instigate them. Rudy is a huge social liberal, but...

    some intercooler questions

    I think you also have a problem moving air through the manifolds. They are only so big. Extrude hone ftw.

    acis modification

    The noise comes from a 4 valve engine at high speed, and having the intake silencer removed in favor of a K&N, or whatever you put on. When ACIS works correctly, the torque curve will be flat. When it does not work, it will spike up around 4000 rpm, which is why it changes over at that point.

    acis modification

    If you can feel it kick in, then it does not work. Low speed torque is deficient for the plenum size and RPM use. So that increases low speed power. If yours does not work, then you will always be on the high rpm curve.

    some intercooler questions

    I went to the Cartech site this morning. They list the inlet and outlet at 2.5". Maybe they have a newer one now?
