Well, if he really is gone for good... Thanks, IJ, for everything you contributed while you were here.

thats not a mass air flow sensor, BTW, its an Air Flow Meter. My toyota pickup uses the same thing. So do ford probes (mazda 2.2l) and mazda 626's. (They're actually interchangable!) I put an AFM from a ford probe in my 22RE pickup (higher compression, bigger cam, intake and exhaust) and after...

yeah... it's all a bit shady. The feedback is very positive in an infomercial-esque way, and for some reason car manufacturers are oblivious to it, and so are exxon, castrol, etc... I think if theres anything good to put in oil, it would be mixed in with synthetics already. It's also funny that...

Oh sorry, didn't read your post.

No it's not... It would just have to be 1200hp at 1575600 rpm.

I had cracks and a little rust near the tabs on both doors... I took the mig to them and now those tabs and the areas it cracked in are reinforced. i bolted a handle back in to test and theres no more flex when you pull on it

If the throttles wide open, you want as much air/fuel mixture to get in there as possible, so any recycled exhaust gas is just going to be wasting space and reducing power.

Its crazy that with such a difference in piston size the rods look so similar.

:( So apparently they're not as strong as traditional bearings? At what kind of power level did they fail?

Is there anything wrong with king bearings? That's what I told the machinist to order. ...I read the marketing crap on kings web site about the thicker conforming layer and heard a few positive comments so I thought they might be the better choice for avoiding rod knock

The thing i like about a metal shift knob is that you can feel the vibration from the transmission better. It keeps you a little more in touch with what the synchros are doing. At least thats the experience I had in my truck. As far as them getting/feeling too hot in the sun... Ceramic coating?

The idea popped into my head of having a turbo point up like that, then trying to fit a water-to-air intercooler in place of the 3000 pipe.

I dunno... I kinda like it better than the C5

www.supracharged.com that 7m-pickup swap is what got me interested in the MKIII in the first place. I was looking for a motor to drop in my truck since my mom overheated it and damaged it. I ended up rebuilding/modding the 22RE instead, but then my interest in the MKIII was there, and once I...

He said IF. I don't think it was an accusation.

That's probobly the amount of torque that they expect the transmission to handle without breaking during its entire expected lifespan, rather than newly built with fresh oil. BTW... your contribution is greatly appreciated, lime

I had been thinking about using the coolant to regulate oil temperature, by putting an intercooler inline with a radiator hose. The advantage is that it wouldn't require a thermostat because the oil can't be over-cooled by the coolant. It might also help get the oil up to a safe temp quicker...

What did that car do to deserve that?!

a dyno doesn't tell you by itself. power output is only one variable when determining efficiency.
