    Increased compression. Input wanted on those running more CR

    Fresh build under way, using wiseco pistons. These pistons bump up compression to 9:1. Who is or has ran a bit higher compression with the stock ecu/piggy back setup? Outcome? Likes/dislikes? Car is a street car, no plans for 30psi or race gas. 15-17psi planned for pump and 20-25psi...

    Shipping to Canada

    Who has used UPS to ship to Canada? Ive read a few horror stories on line with additional customs fees etc.. that rival the cost of the product shipped. everything I try at USPS starts at $20 and goes up. Even envelopes for a measly 5 lbs. Any body have any suggestions on how to get things...

    5M lower radiator hose install question

    no loopty loop around the IC piping. For those with larger IC piping it makes it easier to fit them. Other wise no performance gain.

    5M lower radiator hose install question

    I trimmed the side that connects to the motor so it pulls closer to the PS bracket. Mine doesn't rub any where but i used some spare hose to wrap the middle of it so if it does, its protected.

    oil pressure sender question.

    I had higher readings in my oil filter head port then at the block itself. Might try at the block and on the fliter head and see if you have different readings.

    Remote mount oil filter and what about a cooler?

    "In" to the block is the center circle or inside diameter of the na fitting. The large cavity that circumnavigates the adapter is the "out" of the block to the cooler/filter. In and Out are always the outside of the filter housing (or filter opening) going through to the center.

    Unbolted Pressure Plate Incorrectly, What to Check for Problems?

    Just realized I may have added a few hundred $ onto my rebuild :) After pulling the motor and trans, I one by one unbolted the pressure plate to flywheel bolts. I didnt loosen them partially, rather took one out completely and moved on to the next one. Then I moved on to undoing the...

    I have a thread on fullthrottletech.com. Search it for indpeth setup and wiring. (quite easy once you getting working on it though.) I have a stored code 41 (tps code) and i suspect its due to the ecu powering up with the pro and beating the pro to the punch. Didn't even realize i had the...

    questions about pricing for 7mgt

    bone stock 7m rebuild could be as low as $1500-2k if done properly (bottom end). Just add your forged parts and go up from there. You could get by even cheaper but id question who was assembling it at that point and the range of tolerances they are capable of getting things to. If priced my...
