    Orfice before boost controller (y fitting)

    So my y fitting has been broken for awhile, I just removed it completely. It's been running fine, doesn't seem to spool really fast but I really don't know how fast it should spool (hot air TA33 turbo), and I do have exhaust leaks pre turbo. Just curious if an orfice or a y-fitting would be...

    Exhaust system concerns with high power?

    My exhaust is the factory size from the downpipe until it hits a y and splits into 2 pipes with 2 mufflers and 2 tailpipes after the rear wheels. So it's not factory but it's kinda small. I have a cutout where the catilytic converter was, but what I'm concerned about is if I have the cutout...

    How far can 80# injectors take me

    So I'm in the beginning stages of a new short block being built. Old parts I'm gonna try to reuse if possible are my 80# injectors. I know I'm gonna need a fuel pump because my old one is a dw300, and I'll need fuel lines as well. The build is gonna be a 109 forged stock displacement bottom...

    Borg warner S300 turbos

    I'm converting from a hot air to intercooled and since I have a few different exhaust manifolds and a welder and I'm not doing a complete conversion, I'm debating doing a custon setup with at least the 86/87 intake manifold. I was thinking of doing a 4 bolt turbo. I found this to seem like a...

    What Mic and dial bore gauge?

    I want to buy some tools to measure the main and rod bearings for doing my bottom end. I figure I'd like to check my machinist, and I'll also double check with plastic-gauge. I don't think I need an entire Mic set, just probably 2-3" outside diameter micrometer, any recommendations? Thx

    Spinning motor to 6k rpm

    I'm saving up for my engine build. Just curious what needs to be done to spin the engine to 6 or even 6.5k rpm. In that rpm range would it require a forged rotating assembly? Would the stock coilpack/ignition system be able to handle it? Would a larger cam be beneficial in that rpm range...

    Cheap way around CSII replacement?

    I'm trying to figure out a cheap way to have a decent sounding music in my car. Currently I have factory radio and my speakers are all crackily and I can't understand the music. I guess there's a company called turnswitch that makes replacement speakers for classic cars, I believe they have a...

    I was told at one point to not put a 160 degree Tstat in my car because the e85 Will contaminate the oil? Is there a minimum temperature the engine should run at for e85?
