    AN power steering rack return fitting question

    Those that have installed the Driftmotion or similar 17mm return fitting, did you use a washer? I have an 87 rack that oem was what looked like a large compression fitting with no washer. 17mm crush washers are damn near impossible to find.

    DIY Boost Leak Tester

    I know this is very old but came across it and thought, why not plug the exhaust and pressurize the whole system to check for leaks? You coul even manually spin the engine while pressurized to check eack cylinder..

    Rear BBK anyone?

    I finally saw one of the STI hubs and it is stepped. Inner step is 58mm for the rotor and outer is 56mm for the wheel. I just machined my hub down to 58mm and machined a small releif on the ouside diameter to clear the step on the inside of the rotor. I then bought. 73mm x 56mm aluminium hub...

    rear hub removal on car

    Well it can happen and was actually very easy. I made a puller to remove the hub then after replacing all the wheel bearings just used a large threaded rod with the old race as a spacer threaded through the axle hole and pulled it all together. Easier than I thought. I just was aprehensive as...

    Recirculating BOV/BPV. Let's see them.

    That would be a lot cleaner. Wish the kit pipe would come that way. It was a tight fit doing it my way but works good.

    fuel pulse damper solution

    I thought about doing it your way after I already bought the aftermarket one. It was $115 so your way is definitely a cheaper solution if you still have the stock damper. As for the sleeve: only takes one mishap with a ss fuel line and 12volts to ruin your day!!

    fuel pulse damper solution

    When I added SS fuel lines I had to remove the fuel damper. This caused lean idle surge and a bad lean spot at around 3800 rpm. I found a nice aftermarket pulse damper made by Marren fuel injection. This with a shorter line from the rail to the regulator solved all my problems. Hope this...

    rear hub removal on car

    rear hub removal on car

    Is it possible to remove the rear hubs without removing the spindle? If so anyone have a step by step? Looking in the manual it looks like maybe a slide hammer might do the trick after the c clip is removed.

    dead lean only at 3900 rpm

    I was thinking of putting the pulse damper on the open port of my Aeromotive FPR. It is on the high pressure side so it should work.. Any thoughts? The reason I am doing this different is I have already plumbed the entire fuel stystem with Steel braided lines. I have an aftermarket pulse...

    dead lean only at 3900 rpm

    Did you have to use the factory steel line that hooks to the fuel rail through the pulsation damper or is there another way?

    dead lean only at 3900 rpm

    I tested all sensors and replaced the o2 . No change. It gets better if I bump up thr base fp to 40 with vacuum. I was wondering if the open exhaust and free breathing intake could cause this?
