Has anyone ever rebuilt one of our water pumps? If so, where did you get the parts from? I powder coated my water pump a while back and it has just recently developed a leak. Instead of going through the hassle of getting a new pump coated to match, I'd rather just rebuild mine using my...

So I finally started tinkering with car again. I have managed to follow directions enough to get the newest version of the PLC up and running in my Windows 10 laptop. However when I try to reflash the PL interface something fails. I'm currently running PL 2.0 according to my Scanmaster on...

My car has no power windows, locks, or remote mirror. What belongs in the body and door shell holes? Mine are currently open and I don't know if it should have the bellows like the power cars or if they should just have body plugs in them. Either way I'm in need of something, anyone have a...

Has anyone tried the replacement condenser from Rockauto? It appears to be a parallel flow condenser, but maybe the the pic isn't exactly accurate. http://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=3609369&cc=1020957&jsn=286

Anyone have a set of driver quality bumper fillers around? Mine are literately falling off the car, Need something that will get me by for a year or two.

I'm trying to kill two birds with one stone here. Not sure if it's possible. I've been doing my homework and think I have it straight. I know I want a SN2010 rated helmet for the car. That's the easy part. Now I'm not a regular bike rider, but do occasionally take a ride. The problem with...

This build has been kicking my ass. Here's my latest issue, I tried putting in the inter-cooler in tonight here's my new issue. It needs to go another 1.5" to the left to get the inlet to line up with the turbo. Seems easy enough except the this is as far as it will go before it hits the idler...

Who has used a CAS V4R? I finally got my engine back in the car an am trying to get everything else back in place. I picked up this IC while the engine was out I have never had it in my car. While putting it in tonight I can see that it's going to take some work to get everything to line up...

Last night I took my turbo apart to rebuild it as a precautionary measure before putting it on my new engine. Since a lot of metal went through it when I spun a rod bearing. Glad I did, I found some stuff embedded in the turbo bearings. It appears that it also scratched the shaft. Most...

I picked up a sensor for logging fuel pressure and I was going to build a small 5V power supply with a voltage reg for it but just had another idea. Is there any down side to tapping the 5V feed to the TPS or MAP sensor from the ECM and using that to power it? Current draw should be very low...

As I was poking around Probes site after looking at the piston thread, I found this. http://http://www.probeindustries.com/Probe_4340_Crankshaft_Buick_231_3_400_Stroke_p/14761.htm I looks like Probe is offering a stock stroke forged crank under their name. Has anyone seen these yet? I'm...

Last night while checking out the aignment of the oil passages on my timing cover to the ones on the block, I also took a look at the coolant passages. has anyone noticed a pretty major mis-match between the two? The holes in the block are much smaller than the passages in the timing cover...

After checking out my oil pump shim kit from TA I have a question. Do these gaskets seal on their own or do I have to use some sort of dressing on them. Some seen way too thin to compress and seal. If a gasket is dressing needed, what is the preferred one to use here? Thanks

Has anyone heard anything about Car Motorsports lately? I've been trying to reach them with no luck. Last week it was the answering machine, now it's just a busy signal. :frown:

While I was spending the time to port all of the oil passages in my front cover, I got to thinking about the filter bypass valve. So I ground off the stakes holding the plunger in the filter adapter and took it apart. I measured it up the spring and got the following. Wire diameter = .034"...

Has anyone come up with a system hooked to your Powerlogger to determine the exhaust pressure pre-turbo? I haven't looked, but I'm guessing that any pressure transducer that can live in the pre turbo enviroment would be big money. However, If I tap the headers at the turbine inlet and use a...

I've been doing some thinking about how effective K&N filters really are. looking inside of my intake plumbing there is a very light coating of fine gray "dust". There is no doubt that oiled gause filters flow really well, but their filtration efficency leaves some to be desired. Is there a...

Does anyone here know Brent? Please tell him I'm looking for him and I need an update on my manifold. Thanks

As the title says, I have a set of Brand New Diamond stroker pistons for a 3.830" bore still in the original box with all the paperwork, wrist pins, piston rings and spirolox. These are the pistons included in the Full Throttle stroker kits. checked the vendors website and they are showing $590...
