    Insurance ??? ABS or No?

    Take a picture of your engine bay showing the abs module if you have it. Shouldn't the VIN show this aswell?

    wideband

    zeitronix is great, i use it and have no complaints. it also has a spare channel to monitor any 0-5 volt sensor, i use it for VF so i know what the TCCS is trying to do. Can datalog up to 9 hours in one file and the program will run on windows 95, VERY good software. Also displays TPS, EGT (if...

    Toyota wouldn't waste money on them if they weren't necessary.

    aftermarket intercooler

    An IC upgrade will not hurt a stock CT, its impossible. The stock ct doesn't make much power because its inefficiency causes it to heat the air, a bigger better IC will cool that air, boost may drop and CFM (flow) may go down but thats because density of the air went up. This is why compressor...

    JVT radiator

    Im going to mount it directly in front of the radiator where the condenser usually would go since my car doesn't have air conditioning anymore. Im most likely going to actually mount it to the radiator with a little gap in between. i actually measured the space today because im taking my engine...

    JVT radiator

    Im planning on running a 20x10x3/4 cooler (http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?part=FLX-4126) directly in front of the radiator and using the factory front a/c fan connected to a switch so if im launching my car or its a hot day in bumper to bumper traffic i can turn it on whenever i...

    JVT radiator

    Wouldnt that depend on your coolant thermostat? I would be using an external cooler as well, but the best way to regulate somethings temperature something is to influence it with the temperature you want it to be. This way if my external cooler (with thermostat) over cools the tranny fluid...

    Completed LSx (or 1 or 6 or 7 or...)?

    This is my last one on this topic cause this will go on forever otherwise. That was what you replied back to my price list, and that list didn't favor anything. Even doubling the cost of the clutch at your request would put the 500horse 7m at $7150. compared to $8100 for a comparable stock...

    600hp mkiii vs 07 zo6

    Its useless, ive tried and given up, he cant seem to understand that making more horsepower per liter directly equals a more efficient use of displacement. When you measure horsepower, your at full throttle, who is concerned with fuel economy at full throttle? No one cares about fuel economy...

    Eh ill be out of this one too soon, its going in circles and i spent way too much time on here today.

    Completed LSx (or 1 or 6 or 7 or...)?

    Though the Veyron is a little expensive, the busa is not, i was more referring to the comfort and speed.... I understand your second paragraph and agree. Ok third paragraph, seems you and Wiisas are both hung up on me not minding turbo lag. Hmm.....i believe ive said it a number of times i...

    600hp mkiii vs 07 zo6

    :biglaugh: no problem, im getting a kick out of it myself. Because horsepower is THE measurement for that ability. If you have two identical vehicles what do you need for better acceleration? i guess i wasnt speaking in engineer talk, ill be sure to be as technical as possible when replying...

    Completed LSx (or 1 or 6 or 7 or...)?

    Your first paragraph is amazing, more and more i feel you don't have the ability to read just to type very technically. Ive said it many times that i agreed the lsx had better lower end. Though that doesn't change the fact that turbo lag isnt that incredibly bad. Ive ridden my friends 07...

    600hp mkiii vs 07 zo6

    Almost identically? you mean besides the double or more compression, lack of fuel in combustion chamber until ignition, air fuel ratios that are totally different, different fuel altogether...... they get good gas mileage because of lower operation rpm, higher compression, greater mechanical...

    Syst: Im not getting emotional, your were just being ridiculous. I daily drove my hayabusa, there not rough at all, very well mannered on the street. a street car is exactly that a car that you drive on the street. something street legal, passes inspection besides emissions, DOT tires, pump gas...

    600hp mkiii vs 07 zo6

    Bad example, Gas and diesel have different BTU ratings not to mention the difference of fuel throttle and air throttle. diesels run and much diffrent a/f ratios compared to gas engines and run at 18-22:1 compression, the compression alone offers such a dramatic increase in power output compared...

    Anything could happen with those parts i understand, but thats also not horsepower dependent, thats regardless of output they could get damaged. idle quality and streetability has everything to do with this discussion, were not talking about race cars, were talking about streetcars...
