I was right then in that it wasn't hooked up right :D

Actually, on a turbo car anything after the turbo doesn't really matter, the bigger the better. Anything before the turbo will make the difference. Scavenging can also be helped by header and collector design (grouping ports together to increase velocity), and this also carries over to...

Nothing wrong with Macs....when they're free.

Kawasaki sunrise or sunset?

Turbo-A ducts when installed and used properly serve a function (this is why they where put on the Turbo-A's in the first place) Also, the ab-flug rears follow a natural bodyline and don't really need to be molded in, now the bomex rears...

This is wrong. EPA regulations changed the normal octane booster for ethanol in all gasolines. Miss the sign that says "contains up to 10% ethanol?" One of the main reasons I'm against people removing their charcoal canisters as the ethanol is the first part to evaporate, leaving you with...

No, it's not "backpressure" that gets you low end torque. It's the velocity of the exhaust gas and the scavenging effect it has to remove the exhaust from the cylinder and also pull in fresh air during overlap. The size of the pipe that allows such velocity can then become a restriction at...

Can make it look front heavy if you don't have sideskirts (same thing with a bodycolor lip)

Velocity and scavenging... Backpressure is a myth.

:rofl: That's like reading the car craft issue where they guys kept having to drain and drop the gastank. They forgot to drain it the last time and the guy got stuck under the car. The photographer didn't help, just took pictures of him stuck :rofl:

Neither am I, but I get sick of asking the same things over and over :D On a side note, make sure the surfaces inside the housing where the rubber o-ring sit are clean. No sealant is needed if it's in good shape. Also, don't overtighten the bolts!

It's a metallic paint, and it's common to have issues like that with it. I've seen cars that looked like they had stripes in the pain from the metallic, it takes skill to apply it consistently, looks like they're lacking...

Depends on the rest of the car.

It's not as caustic as people make it out to be...

Is it showing boost on the gauge? Sounds like the symptoms of a slipping clutch to me...

Glare monsters ^^ Get Hella E-codes...

Um, no... unless you want to run rich longer and waste gas. 190 is stock if I remember right.

I think Tanya would give IJ a heart attack...

That last section he could have probably shifted to get more speed, and the rest of the time it looks like he's fighting with the gearbox (missed shifts, wrong gear, ect) But yes, it's a full race car while the competition is not...

Quench helps with the mixture, but those edges could cause hotspots. I'd be interested to see what the difference in pistons is, as I have a feeling it's also a part of the puzzle...
