    Are my Ramchargers dual fans toast?

    My dual fans quit and I think they are the ones from Ramchargers. When I put juice to them I hear the relays on the fans click (the two blue connectors on the fans). I do remember smelling something like an electrical fire not too long before my temp started climbing. Could they both burn out...

    Have a set of BNIB GNX Center Caps, never installed. Bought these off of a member but they are about an 1/8 too big for my wheels. Mine are a smaller Kirban aftermarket center cap. There is a one plastic tab that is broken off of two of them. I think one was missing and the other broke in...

    Is there anyone who could replace my pump on my dual spray smc alky kit. I'm assuming it went, but haven't confirmed it. I have a power light but I hit the test button and doesn't bog down or change idle at all. Could I replace the pump my self with something that could handle methanol? Is...

    I have the denso pump for the twin turbo supra. When fuel pressure gets to 45 pounds it drops off and of course start to get knock so I get out of the throttle. I had another denso pump that I put it and it does the same. When I put the second pump in I noticed that the wire going to the...

    Is this the reason my fuel pressure drops off on my denso pump?

    I have the denso pump and as you can see the fuel filter is folded almost to a 90 degree angle. I had to do some special rigging to get the denso pump on the hanger. The filter must have been hitting the baffle in the tank. When I try to go full throttle the fuel pressure goes to about 40 or 45...

    Fuel pressure dropping off with my denso pump

    I have a fairly new denso pump and it has been working great. I just started getting knock so I put the fuel pressure gauge back on. I hit about 45 to 48 pounds and then the pressure falls off and the knock goes up. The last time this happened the fuel line inside the tank split. Is anyone...

    GNX center cap decals??

    Where can you find some sort of decals for the GNX wheel center caps. You can get the center caps at Kirbans but they don't have any type of decal anymore. THese are for the wheels that have a 3" center hole. I need at least two. Or four center caps with decals.

    Had to get a new piston so I'm doing rings. The piston is a sealed power forged piston. The rings the builder (not the original guy) ordered were sealed power E 434K 30. My block is .30 over.

    I will be pulling my motor (totally ate my spark plug in number one). Looking at my signature what would you recommend for an upgrade without serious money. What I want to eliminate is the annoying ticking sound that will come and go. Sounds like a lifter. On last rebuild I took apart every...
