maybe you should find a good shop. jack***.

damn. terminals are 7 a piece?!?! i can buy mine for 2.50 US to take 0 guage..... **** me in the ***.... good price on cable though..... if you have good terminals chassis grounds use less resistance all together. cable even being GOOD oxygen free will always have more resistance than trying to...

you wasted a lot of money on 0 guage cable to run your negative back to the front of the car, you will probably trip that breaker before you can hear everything the way you want it.... if your power has to travel all the way to the amp/battery and BACK to the alternator, you are putting quite a...

not every diesel engine has an "M" style dish piston like you are reffering to. a classic example is the 5.7L diesel engine in some chevy and oldsmobile cars that have a 23:1 compresion ratio with FLAT top pistons. because they have longer rods and most of the later versions have a larger...

Damn.... that is impressive, i should have researched these before i commented. i guess i was reffering to the newer F1 engines in my post.... i should really read more carefully before i comment.. oops.:tapedshut: and yeah, back on topic.... diesels have more compression only because they have...

those f1 engines spin one hell of a lot more rpm than any engine we use. and plus they are designed by masters of this game. with titanium-aluminum alloys that are super strong and really light in comparison to what "normal" production engines run. its comparing apples to oranges. and...

im sorry i must have had a dumbass attack looking at the pictures, i KNOW for a fact that the system i set up uses one turbo to spin the other. the second turbo looks like it has 2 compressor housings, both in a lighter cast color and not dark like an exhaust housing. i am not sure of the...

i am a diesel mechanic myself and have installed one of these compound turbo setups on a 24valve cummins in a friend of mines truck. the turbos are setup so one turbo (right of the manifold) can spool almost immediatly to spin the other turbo almost instantly after the first one. on his...

hey thanks for the website, i plan on e-mailing phil about one of these manifolds, i couldnt find a website for the "CSL" company that makes the manifold. if anyone knows WHERE i can get one on the internet it would be appreciated!! are there any how tos or what fors on getting standalone...

has anyone tried messing around with a carbie 1uzfe??? would it even be worth trying out?? maybe a 2 or 3uz would be a better option because of displacement??? i thought it would be cool to have a carbie instead of fuel injection due to simplicity.

ill find my camera cable sometime, i will get pictures of the setup and maybe a video or 2. its definetly CRUDE and definetly clame no fame from it, its just me, being bored, and beating up my beater truck, because.... its a beater. and besides, i dont have a couple grand laying around to buy a...

oh, and by the way, the only money i spent for this setup was the switch, i think it was like 3 bucks???? ill post some pics if i can ever find the cable to my digital camera!!

ok, i am guilty of the leaf blower setup. i have one on my 86 yoda pickup now, 22r engine, and i must say it works. it is engaged by a WOT switch so its not running all the time. i love it. it has enough balls now to spin the tires on dry pavement in 3rd gear on 205/60r 14"s and 500 pounds of...
