    Lex/stock turbo AFM blow through mod?

    I get the suspicion that you would overflow the pressure sensor input register in the ECU. The design teams for these things usually build in +/- 25% for the operating range, and then another 25% in case something goes wrong, but past that it's the land of diminishing returns.

    oil pump mod

    As long as you have the engine out and the oilpan off, it's one of those 'might as well' category mods. If you don't have the engine out, then it's not worth it.

    mysterious trim/86.5 white package?

    Those don't exactly look like stock sawblades, either. That would be a wicked car to get hold of.

    Lex/stock turbo AFM blow through mod?

    Let me explain. The AFM in our cars will only work at regular atmosphere pressures - and only in conjuction with a pressure sensor. This is why you cannot put it in blow through mode, it cannot get an accurate reading if you are putting it post turbo in the compressed section of the intake...

    How does this make you feel?

    LOL... no, you get a reciept when you BUY something. Mr. Bush already has a bunch of WMD, why would he want to buy any from some upstart country in the middle east?

    Boost/Fuel/Timing/Compression issue(s)

    Ok, I hate to ask the painfully obvious... but you checked for codes? And you've checked base timing? Do you have a wideband O2? I'd check for the timing belt having skipped a tooth... knock sensor wiring... that's what I can think of off the top of my head that might cause this.

    oil pump mod

    Yes, and yes. Though it doesn't change your oil pressure at idle, it certainly does affect it at RPM. There are two of these - one is a bypass on the oil pump itself, and the other is the bypass to the oil cooler. Both are pressure valves and can be shimmed to give you more pressure in the...

    reliability of 60-1

    Another thing to consider is the BOV - how many 60-1 users are still running the stock BPV, and suffering from compressor surge from too much boost?

    How does this make you feel?

    Wise words. Totally unrelated - why was everyone so certain that this guy had WMD? Think about it folks... where would he have gotten them from in the first place? From a more conservative point of view... how would you figure out if someone had them? Simple... look at your history, figure...

    General Q about wastegates and BOV's

    Close, but not quite. The wastegate controls how much exhaust goes to spinning the turbo, which basically controls what kind of flow the turbo is producing. The BOV is used to prevent compressor surge during shifts. When you shift, usually the throttle plate is shut for an instant - during...

    Ok, I have to put a few more lines into this thread. Clinton & Monica was funny as hell for anyone from outside the USA. I mean, seriously, WTF? He's getting some tail at the office... what does that have to do with being the President? Abso-freaking-lutely nothing. A man's private life...

    pics of your 7ms engine bay

    Depends. How much blowby does your engine have? Essentially, if you get any, breathers would just become oil drips on your engine.

    Hard to start when warm - ideas?

    I am running without the switch - I have it unplugged entirely. :(

    Just wondering

    All motor or nitrous fed? There are some pretty quick N/As in the California crew, IIRC.

    TRUE STORY This is even funnier when you realize it's real! The next time you have a bad day at work... think of this guy. Rob is a commercial saturation diver for Global Divers in Louisiana. He performs underwater repairs on offshore drilling rigs. Below is an E-mail he sent to his...

    somethings wrong... any ideas?

    Heh... now that's interesting. Might try this little procedure on the SOGI site while you are at it: http://www.supras.com/06/techcenter/display.php?QID=47

    How does this make you feel?

    Another little tidbit - both countries claim to have 'won' this war. When a war stops via a treaty, I think it's officially a win for both sides... a victory, on the other hand, is pretty much only an option after you have completely crushed the resistance on the opposing side.

    How does this make you feel?

    heheh... the chances of this ever showing up in an American history class are slim to none. The USA didn't win every battle in the war of 1812... and Canada was part of Britain at the time. In 1813, american troops marched on York in Canada, and occupied what was then one of the capitals of...
