    Dual Walbros?

    I as a renegade ran 2 -6 lines to each end of the rail. This is because I felt the need to feed the injectors evenly. I machined the return in the middle, and the hose I made -6 all the way to the tank. I used the stock hanger with the fittings drillled out, and bulk head fittings at 90 degrees...

    first attempt at a real oil cooling circuit (need approval)

    The billet thermostat by Earls is a good unit. It's one solid piece, and is sold by summit. The cast units I found to leak, and the mocal units leaked the worst. Could have been a bad batch the guy said, but they did take them back.

    first attempt at a real oil cooling circuit (need approval)

    I remember you telling me this when I told you about the high pressure IJ. What filter number is that IJ. I think I will just use this as a replacement filter to handle cold starts....epsecially in the winter.

    first attempt at a real oil cooling circuit (need approval)

    Only happens during the cold winter months JD. I believe IJ said he uses moroso filters to handle this issue as well. I suppose I could also use a lower viscosity, but once it warms up after a few seconds it's all good! Next winter I may use a tad thinner oil....maybe.;):biglaugh: :evil2:

    A moment of silence.....

    That's so true...a guy on S/F said his house caught fire, and an idiot asked for pictures after the guy said the upstairs was a total loss, and that they had to move to a hotel because of fire damage. Sorry about the car, and friend teacher.

    Do tell....the mobile 1's were the only ones to take 120+ psi cold start ups without bursting.

    first attempt at a real oil cooling circuit (need approval)

    I had parker hoses Dave and they sucked....they didn't last 6 months before leaking from deterioration. Get Aeroquip hoses they are better made and don't wear or leak. I used aeroquip hoses and socletless push lock barbed fittings with no leaks. I don't reccomend any of those cheap ass summit...

    competition cam springs 975-12 FTW

    Very good question...I see it possibly as causing more cam wear than normal and more force to open them....yes. The crower spring rates is 90lbs at 1.378" installed height so you aee it should not be an issue.

    competition cam springs 975-12 FTW

    As some of you know the 975-12 competition cam springs are a drop in repalcement for our old worn 100k plus valve train. What most people don't know is that they have a seated 55lbs at 1.5" installed height. Our seated pressure is 35lbs at 1.378" installed height. So when installed on our cars...

    CSF RAD VS Koyo RAD

    Good answer, and the choice was not a bad choice. Just glad to see that you are truthful with yourself on why you did what you did, and what you accomplished. The Koyo looks better in there by far as looks are concerened, and it does just as good if not better. Again a good choice, and thanks...

    CSF RAD VS Koyo RAD

    Well you guys get things for looks, and that has its advantages, but to sell the CSF to got to a KOYO isn't worth the time. I am willing to bet the cooling differences if any is nil to warrant a change. All I knw is my CSF does the job very well and I run electric fans which means it must get...

    FFIM Advice

    [B] Wrong....engine air temps may eventually do the job but water temps from coolant lines does it properly. Just look at the plunger and how it is set up. Again it will work but not like it should with the coolant lines for idle speed. In cold weather coolant heat makes the idle better...

    FFIM Advice

    The Q45 TB has a built in idle speed control unit that is coolant operated. Mostly no one knows this besides myself who figured this out years ago. So if you got idle speed disable cooling lines. and make sure the screws are adjusted accordingly to keep the unit form idling up!
