Every car is different...so to estimate a time would really have no accuracy at all. You should really be changing that exhaust...trouble justifying a bigger turbo if you have difficulty getting the exhaust out of there! Not to mention the usual tricks for fuel... You can do the reverse...

If you're unsure what the actual temperature is, get a thermometer, take off the rad cap, and poke it in (not touching the sides). You can even use a thermometer meant for checking roasts in the oven. This will tell you for sure which one is correct. On a side note, my car wouldn't run a...

Hey guys, My beast is starting to smoke a bit, and I think I'm gonna bore it out when I take it apart. Just looking for suggestions on brands...What kind of pistons you guys have had luck with, and what kind of connecting rods. thanks! John

Are you actually hearing the knock?

sounds to me like you were messing with the High beam switch...

I have an older SMC kit, not the brand new one...and to be quite honest, I'm unsure as to what size the actual injector is. Problem is, I'm only running 20lbs of boost, and with the alcohol turned up to max, I still get knock... Can this be corrected by simply increasing the size of the...

Art Carr makes probably the best or at the very least one of the best in the market :-)

Absolutely nothing wrong with stock pistons...as long as the skirts and pins are great. Guys have been right down into low 11s if not quicker with stock pistons, and they're reliable.

I've gotten almost 20 in the city, and 26 MPG on the highway. I know a guy who'se getting 600km a tank on the highway!

Hey guys, I tried reading threads on the extender chip with the translator to get a grasp of its versatility...but I'm still a little in the dark. What I'm wondering: is the translator and extender+ the next best thing to programming your own chips? Does it lend it self to tuning...

Having owned two, you should know it's the nature of the beast! ;-)

If you're having heat problems, the dual-fan setup won't get you that far; I know of guys running 10's with the stock fan. I think it's quite adequate. Make sure your chip is running the fan all the time above 170 or so...and if so, then you will most likely need to get a 4-core rad. It'll...

Hey guys...I don't know if anyone has ever had this problem...but I have the SMC kit. When I try using turbolink, the program works fine until the alcohol injection turns on (under boost). As soon as the unit is in operation, all I get with turbolink is invalid readings...until I let off...

I wouldn't raise the idle to correct a weak oil pressure...try using thicker oil. My oil pressure jumped almost 10psi hot (running just under 180), using 20W50 instead of 10W40 :-)

Just make sure the car is in perfect running order, as if you were doing a tune up on any conventional car: -Make sure plugs are new and properly gapped -Make sure wires are not arcing anywhere -Check PCV, make sure there's no leaking. -Make sure there are no vacuum leaks -Check throttle...

Hey guys, Just curious...I've been trying to find information concerning the Duttweiler neck...I've read about the flow benefits, and the purported 22% flow increase. In driveability and performance terms, what have you guys noticed? Very noticeable gains? How much does it affect power...

Every wonder why the cruise control stops when you touch the brakes? That's what your mysterious vacuum unit is for around the brake pedal :-)

I have the puff of smoke upon startup EVERY time I start my t-type. At first I didn't think much of it. The motor has been re-done, and it appears to only smoke under high-vacuum conditions. The heads are new, valves are new, seals are new, guides are perfect. All of the usual checks...
