More fuel to be safe, meth if you plan on running 91 pump, and a good tune would probably get you there. I am personally running E-85 now and there's a lot to be gained to using it if it is plentiful around you (not sure if cali is big on E-85, emmisions may also play a role)

Well, its not exactly the same, but I made 417 on stock cams at 17-18 lbs, and a buddy (92NSX) made the exact same number at 15lbs with 272's. We both are using LIPP Boss Sr. 61mm turbos and have very similar builds (except I'm using AEM where he's using a lex/550 with no tuner. I would think...

put a 7M into it and see if any Ford guys pick up on it... ;) /trollface In reality the 4bbl intake/carby would be the easiest imo, but EFI would be sweet as well

lol, mine is the newer emblem...I think I got it off of a Supra's center cap...too long ago to remember :/ You know you're a supra owner when the Wife is A-OK with spending 2X the money on big, new brakes just from being in the car during a 130-0 with the stockers

For what its worth, 92NSX and myself are running very similar setups with only a few differences. One of the main ones is he is still on a stock clutch and I am using a SPEC stage 3+. We both made 417.41hp, and were both near 380-400tq. He drives like your grandma and as such, the stocker has...

That thought has also crossed my mind, were I to do that I'd be getting a billet 62 upgrade at the same time. But at this point I'm not sure what I'm going to do, so I'm just going to stick with the plan as it is, and see how the car acts this year with the stuff that's lined up. If you will...

If you were interested, I know a guy here in MN who has a clean set of Blitz 03's for sale, or at least they were for sale a couple months ago... iirc, they were like 1k, o.O Oh, and I like the split 7 spoke styles, the c14 looks the nicest to me :)

This thought has not escaped me, perhaps if I sell the bolt-on turbo I might, but to buy a brand new turbo and use it for less than a year is pretty bad, financially speaking. I was thinking about a BW 91-79 with a .92 twinscroll, paired with a SV and a nice mani. (If I was a baller rollin in...

Ya Sean, I also know if pops engines faster than coolant plugs blowing out :P srsly, co-worker has blown his engine 3x due to nitrous issues, I think I would rather make my name a sham rather than make my engine go bam. Hopefully these 272's will get her pumpin a bit sooner like Ian thinks they...

Cool deal, that was about 2 weeks after I had gotten the car running for the first time, and it was the night we had put the AEM into it. As we were running, Sean was tuning the fuel map so the car just kept getting faster and faster. Oh, I remember the days of that CT26 comin online at 1800...

Yeah, I like that it basically replaces my whole clutch system in one shot, and with stuff that's engineered to work well together! Yeah, well I can't say that I'm happy about missing out on your cams, but I am happy that Ken gets to use them :) He should be making some serious power soon! (I...

Rob- idk what 'dips' are, unless you're talkin dippin' dots, but you can surely call dibs on the clutch- it don't matter a bit to me :P But no, its not smoked. Just slips a bit on 3-4 no-lift-shifts at 20lbs :) Dan- I have talked with the spec guys all day and I think I have a handle on what...

They are not all the same. I know about the LIPP series- the exhaust wheels vary in size from stage 3 through P-trim, the Jr.'s have a .58 A/R and the Sr.'s have a .83 A/R. I don't know about any of the other turbo specs, but perhaps someone else can fill in the gaps!

Yeah, that ether trick usually only 'seals' the bead i.e.cheap tires that have a narrow bead spacing. He's having trouble 'seating' the bead, which leads me to believe that the lubrication is lacking, the beads themselves are the wrong size, or not the bead is just freakin too tight...

My suggestion would be to re-write the above post to say "Hi" rather than asking a question. This section of the forum is to introduce yourself and show what your car is. ....so say hi and show us your car!! :) As for your question, I would direct you towards the technical sections for...

Are you using a paste lube or liquid? I've had problems getting some brands of tires to seat up on rims with liquid lube, but paste tire lube always seems to give it that extra kick. I believe the worst ones I've ever mounted were Sumitomo HTR Z2's

Price I'm running into is around 1700 for the whole clutch kit. It comes with the flywheel, cover, discs, a combo slave/throwout bearing, and a clutch master cylinder with lines. In all reality its a lot of stuff for not too much cash! If anything I'd aim for one of the middle two since the top...

Sean- sometimes you just have to say no... Dan- I drove (and really liked) an RPS carbon-carbon clutch I had put into a mk4 at the shop, so once Spec came out with a carbon twin plate I figured it would be a great upgrade from the 3+ I'm runnign now. Problem is if I do a no-lift shift, the...

Update! ...or not :/ Cams: Still on their way <--BC 272's Cam gears: ordered <--Fidanza Brakes: Ordered <--ARZ willwood kit FTW Suspension: maybe tomorrow? And that's all for now. Finally figured out a budget plan for the mods this spring, so that is good! Plan is as follows Install...

I've had both ends- Bought first set of ACL's and got NDC, bought another set of ACL's and got ACL bearings. Kinda depends on the box in my experience :) Edit: get all new bearings no matter what you do. Oil pump DS, mains, and rods.
