that's kinda true. this is where the cam selection becomes important. think of the air as it enters the intake runner heading towards an open intake valve while the piston is heading down in a cylinder creating a pressure drop or *vacuum*. air has mass and mass has momentum if it is in motion...

i've heard them called "Zees" without the x. or even Zeecar. as a throwback to the Datsuns, before Nissan bought them out.

Kinda long, not that i don't like long rods, but you'll have to get pistons with a really thin compression height. you'll also have problems with the wrist pin. but it may still be cheaper that a set of costom rods that fit the crank and pistons from a 1uz. I am planning on using chevy rods...

Happy Birthday!!! my tip for next year.... Drink early.. and drink often.

I like it. I'm not a ford nut at all, in fact i kinda bash mustang lovers, but i think this one looks good. after 30 years, it's about time. You can't knock a manufacturer for puting a blower on an already strong motor. Chevy just needs to bring back the camaro with some grunt, then they can...

an electronic boost controller would probably work "best", but for the money.. a correct spring (few dollars) is the best. If you go with a strong spring, about 20% stronger than the desired boost level, and use an electronic boost controller, the boost will come on quicker and be more stable...

them's are some nice pistons too. the first ring is about 1/2 an inch down.. looks like it could handle *a bit* of boost.

if your smaller turbo's wastegate opens a 8psi will it hurt itself when it's big brother hits 8+ psi, like around 25. won't it try to force air backward through the small one. if your turbo's are going to work in conjunction with each other they would have to both be making 25 psi, unless you...

hmm, it sounds very interesting. What happens to the exhaust after it gets to the "y" and there are two paths, a path through the small turbo, and out of the system, and one through the big turbo. say at 12-15 PSI when the smaller turbo's wastegate is open. Why would the exhaust "want" to...

I think that setup would still sound great in a 6000 pound buick. horrible power to weight ratio though. probably would even pull.. nice Warren, NICE!!!-Chris

it seems to be the {style="float:left"} portion of the <DIV> tag... if it is gone, it works fine

The S-AFC can't do this. It has a setting for what type of meter it is, given a value of 1-6, MAP, KARMAN, Hot Wire,, so-on after you set that, you then adjust it to what typ of MAP or what type of MAF you have. for instance the MAF on a peticular engine may vary it's output for a certain...

I think if cams are starting to become available then, if possible cams for a different firing order will become ...attainable, and desirable. Pro Stock cars have been doing this for a few years now, they see approx 8-10 hp, plus fuel distribution problems become less of a problem. anything is...

i'm about 30 minutes from that place.... hmmm.. i'll have to take a field trip.

I once did something similar on the last car i had. It was an automatic that i converted to a manual. The auto tranny radiator had a section on the bottom for the transmission fluid. I routed the oil lines through it to cool the engine oil before getting to the turbo. I don't have a Lexus...

It's going to be slightly off from the actual thickness of the gasket. the timing belt is not perfectly in line with the plane you are moving the head when you use a thicker/thiner gasket due to the different sizes of pulleys and the location of both of them in relation to each other, so there...

I may be able to help with the ECU tuning, I had an S-AFC on a Skyline and switched to an e-Manage and can tell you they are a bout the same as far as wich one can hurt the engine... both, equally well. As JBrady said, it all depends on the A/F ratio and ignition timing you specify. Although...

is this a new leek or has it been doing it since you got the turbo?
