ok, so i ahve not yet had the pleasure of holding one of the richwood manifolds yet... (anyone in DFW??) but i have been thinking alot about how to cool the air charge post blower. from looking at the amazing pics i have seen of the manifold it looks like a small heat exchanger could be mounted...

in answer to your question, there would be no reason to mount a wastegate on a m90 or m112 assuming they are the models with an internal bypass in them. also the m90 and m112 are meant to run between 6 and 12 psi, so really as long as you can control the throttle, you have all the control you need.

i will always be a roots guy when it comes to supercharging... its odd becuase comeimg from the MKIII supra crowd i am a turbo guy at heart... there is an old saying "there is no replacement for displacement" a roots/ screw blower is a pos displacement system and it is as close as you can get to...

ya, i figured just for the block, or some other misc pieces.. or if someone lived in MO. i bought my last one for 200$ trying to get another one soon, hopefully i can find that deal again.

those are so new that i have not heard about any rebiulds...

says it was a flood motor, but it spins, and its 300$ http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=019&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=290206271143&rd=1

that torque number is huge.... but then again in a car that heavy you would most likely need it. the zr1, zo6 and all the big Mercs are more in the range of "super Car" with stock numbers like that, and the price tag makes it worse. fo me, i want 400+/- enough to shut up some folks, but mostly...

i have heard in a few places that the 6spd will not hold much over stock power though. but it would be a highway monster..

nothing is direct.... when it comes to swapping everything is difficult, i have done way more compex things to cars, a shift does not scare me. i appreciate your input.

oh come on guys.... 19 of you have looked at this thread... i know one of you has an LS.... your only a tape measure away from helping.....

i am 25, and i feel i am also too old for it.

i think we are safe on the moderation, this is a discussion, with what i believe to be good information for community. that said, i may be mistaken on the tranny strength, i have heard so many things from different people in the last 4-5 yrs since i started researching the 1u for a swap into a...

don't do it lex...myspace is evil..... besides, if your going to make an account...why make it private if you have to know the people you let in.... don't you already know them?

well, i can tell you that i prefer the 1uz for sever reasons, most of which have to do with part availability, believe it or not parts are easy to find for the 1uz compared to the vh series motors. and the bottom end of the 1uz is much stronger than the vh45, that being said... in stock form...

your right about the combustion temps, and i do not know about Cali, i am in TX and have only seen what happens here in the summer.. we in TX have the same octane ratings from what i understand of it the issue is that with a lower octane fuel it is not as "pure" (lack of better term) as the...

your gonna torch those spark plugs man..... i know on the vh45de - q45... if you run regular for about 1000mi.. you will need plugs.. on the 1uz, it is better than 1000mi, but not great, and the plugs are more expensive

alright, i know this is one of those stupid waste of energy things, but i will ask anyway... i dislike the shifter in the pre-95 ls400, the 95+ is much nicer, and by looking at what picyures i can find, it looks like it would be possible to put a 95+ shifter in an older model, granted there will...

:35: you are my hero.... mine has been sitting for almost 4yrs waiting for alot of these parts to be available in the US, please keep us up to date. and if you have not realized it already....you have come to the right place.. people like peewee, and david are a wealth of information, and...
