http://www.supraforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=267655 I found this (finally)after some time scrounging around in Jeep forums,trying to find anything I could about improving the Aisin Warner trans w/out spending $500 for a basic shift kit. It looks like a decent solution for the slushy...

Yep, lots of variables, I knew a guy who was into Alfas awhile back who had modified the pump by lengthening the connecting rods inside, and a bunch of other stuff. I would like to hear more about the servo setup you're working on, sounds interesting. I can't remember, but doesn't the Spica...

I once sent my mom to do some errands in one of my cars that had large Webers, nasty cam, she thought it was going to be hard to drive since it was always popping through the intake, had a snarly exhaust note, was generally a beast, but then was surprised when it drove better than her stock...

I used to get info from the Bilstein website as far as damping values, just have to find a car that has a similar suspension system,weight,cg etc. The race shocks have the values given. The porsche 930/934 shock settings worked well on my heavily modified Fiero.

The individual throttles really help to tame a wild cam by eliminating the cross-pulsing in the plenum. This allows a race engine to be able and drive on the street(cool). I have thought about trying someTBs from a bike, casting a manifold at a local foundry, but since I don't have wild...

Alfas use a mechanical injection system, not like electronic systems where map sensors can be used to help the ecu. The signal will be choppy on an individual runner, but if a common bypass circuit is created, bypass needle valves can be added to help balance out the throttles. This tends to...

Some factory carb manifolds used a small (6mm) dia runner joining the intakes downstream of the throttles for signals to distributors etc.

I'm curious as to what the dimensions are for the B2 accumulator springs on the Lexus Aisin Warner a340e units? I only have the engine power that the Supra TT came with in my SC, and won't likely be getting much more, so am considering an accumulator spring swap, since the C2 spring...

I had looked for a practical way to rid my engine of the MAF, but after I realized it was there for good, I then had begun to try and make the best of it. Tuning the mixture to perfection again with no easy way to adjust the Unichip myself was trying at times and I had honestly believed that I...

I wouldn't suggest that you alter the MAF unless you have some experience with these types of systems. I really thought I had described what I had done to my MAF in enough detail to accomplish similar results as I have in the PM's we'd exchanged, but if that was not comprehensible, then it's...

Thanks for the tip, I will keep my eyes peeled for a spare.

That's good info, now I can rest easy about using a K&N on a car that I never want to have to do a valve job on. I agree about the PCV, they're a good thing.

Trippin' major bigtime with that whole deal; they need to stay focused on the product I'm afraid instead of, as usual for VW, marketing schemes.

Wow, some of those size variations don't change a std. dimension even when carried out to four decimal places; that a tight number! Good sticky, or tech article info. imo.

I had noticed a similar noise back when I had just bought my car, it turned out to be a slightly sticky valve/valve guide. I suspect that the previous owner had cheaped out on petrol. After a few oil changes and many tanks of top grade fuel, the noise is gone after going from constant to...

Before any large sums get spent, take a good close look at the rubber hose that connects the Mass Airflow Meter to the engine; it is also attached to the aircleaner. This part can crack, cause an out of range error code for the airflow meter. Good luck.

Remember the MAF is only a sensor, and that the ECU does make for only a limited amount of compensation within a certain rpm range, that along with the fact that the ECU is in closed loop during wot/high rpms, makes for a great reason to just maintain oem lengths when all you have is a stock ECU.

Maybe not knock off's but not adequate to be used on a car. I'm pretty skeptical of U.S. rebuilt alternators, much less a turbo that spins ten times faster. Bummer.

Is the location of the new X within an inch of where the Y used to be? Have had issues with altering the effective lengths of runners myself, usually easiest to try and keep it the same unless you have infinite fuel tuning capabilities. If you've noticed, the S&S headers do this, both for...
