Absolutely without a doubt. The mechanical fan is sooo much more reliable than anything any after market company throws at you. I've seen instances where the electric fan thermostat would burst into flames. I've also read about them failing many many times. The stock mechanical fan is...

I wouldn't worry about it honestly. There are some people that run NA pistons with turbo everything else and it works just fine. The greddy gasket will be more than enough to keep compression in the ball park. I would also try to find something to coat the greddy headgasket. I've had 2...

yaitsme.. it's likely due to the way the AEM fires the injectors. Rather than batch firing them, it fires each injector once per revolution. IIRC, the mk4 aem batch fires the injectors and those guys idle 1200cc injectors without a problem. The *mk3* aem ems is a hack. Stock is batch fire...

Picture of the mystery car...

Jeff.. that's pretty close. I've gotta picture of it.. it's dark tho. I'll up it in a bit and see if this is the one or not. I have a rebuilt trans in the garage now. The clutch is off to RPS due to the dual diaphragms shifting and making the plate out of balance. Once that comes back, it...

If you run 43psi static (no vaccum), 1000cc injectors, a single mk4 pump, and only run 6 psi of boost, you'll be fine. ;) The most a mk4 pump will do is 49psi at the rail. That's 43 static and 6 psi of boost, or 33 static and 16psi of boost. The final pressure has to be 49psi or less...

Since you're not going to be anywhere near close enough to maxing out 1k cc injectors with a measly 60-1 at 20 psi, I'll do the math to show how to figure out if a pump will be enough to feed injectors at any given pressure. 1000cc injectors x 6 = 6000cc of wide open flow. base fuel...

crank dat soulja boy... crank day soulja boy. superman dat hoooo.. superman dat hooo. It's a toss up between that and "lean like a cholo" for best song in the world right now.

Were you in broadripple saturday night? I took a picture of a white supra with black wheels at the intersection of college and kessler. I was at binkleys and noticed the car at the intersection. This was around 11ish or so.

The EMS seems to idle ANYTHING. However, you'll run out of pump with 1k injectors and only a single mk4 pump.

A stock turbo'd car with an auto picked up 10hp and 5 lbs of torque at the wheels by adjusting stock camshaft timing. Of course.. your mileage WILL vary. Every motor is different. Really, it's the proper way to build a motor so everyone should be doing it.

That picture was taken by Eric Eckberg in the late 90s or so. He was at Norwood's shop for some reason and started taking pictures of this interesting setup. They were posted on the SOGI list, and the owner of the car blew up at Norwood for letting this leak. Norwood then contacted Eric to...

If one buys a used torque wrench, they should look into getting it calibrated prior to buying it. Factor that into the cost. My craftsman wrenches are accurate as tested by the maintenace department at one of my old jobs. It was tested at a low, middle, and high value. All 3 were within a...

If it's a 7mgte with a 7mgte ECU, you need low impedance injectors.

The ideal way, would be to degree the cams upon install, and then hit the dyno for some cam tuning. I helped install some cams on a 2g DSM and we got ZERO more mph, or ET in the 1/4 mile. No gain at all. Nothing. Likely due to us not degreeing them. I would suspect that crower did some work...

No one installs cams correctly it seems. The link below will show you how to do it correctly. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_MsqA-C3vGI

The oil pan bolts thread into the retainer as well. I would leave the retainer attached to the motor, and just pull the seal with a puller.

Yes.

The tune that SP put on a friend's mk3 wasn't really decent. lots of hacks to get it to work well enough to drive. This is coming from the owner of the car. he went back through it and had another shop help him with the tune. I also know of other projects and things that SP did less than...

Hmm. I've not hung out with Carl for a minute. Maybe myself and jeb will make the trek out.
