    pulled a 441 and 446 on the Dyno

    The local performance shop near the house was having a Modern Mopar dyno day so I stopped in and hung around checking out the late model Challengers, Chargers, 300's magnums, etc. getting their Dyno on. Out of the 20 or so cars, one really tricked out Challenger pulled a 800, then one pulled a...

    I was bored and just wondering how my plugs were looking since I have not checked them in a while. So I pulled out number one and this is what I found.. These plugs have been in the car since the build over a year a go, a blown turbo, and still seems to be peforming well. I have been...

    Max Boost vs AFR Question on 7M

    I currently have my manual boost controller set to max out 1.3 bar while pulling hard between 2nd thru 4th gears. When I accelerate at higher cruising speeds the boost jumps up to 1.45, the warning light on my boost gauge goes off and I back off immediately. Boost creep? While I am in the...

    Another First Dyno

    I dyno tested my 91 T two weeks ago at ARD, on a Dynojet, in Houston. There was a small Supra meet that was organized by someone on SF I think. Since I lived right down the street I thought I would go ahead and see what my newly built 7m would pull.... 1st pull was 274 and the second hit...

    1j, 2j, 7m, powered off road vehicles

    Has anyone ever built or seen a mud buggy, sand rail, or any other 1j, 2j, 7m powered off road vehicle? Maybe a jeep? The concept of using one of these power plants peaked the interest of my mechanic friend that has fabricated other off road vehicles. If nothing else it would be different...

    MKIV Motor Mount mods

    I purchased MKIV motor mounts for my 91 and know that I need to grind off the lower nipple. But regarding the top, the threaded stud on the MKIV mount is shorter than the stock MKIII. The only way to get enough thread through the nut is to leave off the solid black bracket, heat sheild, and...
