With all the companies doing CNC heads the problem is not getting the port shape, reinforcements, or chamber mods done it's making a new casting that can handle all those changes without the many...
With all my experience so far it seems to me a heavy car should have a heavier flywheel and a lighter car should get a lighter flywheel. The trick is to find the right weight so you're carrying the...
The # is Dura-Bond PDG-26. They are listed as cam bearings btw... They are the only ones to make bearings out of round stock that I found. I use these in V-8's & they hold up very well to radical...
Yup I would get heart burnage if the thrust bearing went south thanks to a 2900 lb pressure plate ! Thanks for the info ! I'm leaning toward a 2200 lb because I do drive it a lot...
It's very custom... I used a Tilton hydraulic throwout bearing for a T-5 and made it fit. The slave cylinder is from a honda civic. it was small and had a big enough piston to dis-engage the clutch...
I already put a hydraulic clutch setup on the car. I'm just worried about killing the thrust bearing with higher pressure on the plate. Looks like I'll be getting something from FWD when the time...
I take the plugs out while the car is running at full operating temp. They actually come out fairly easy at 190 deg. coolant temp. Don't take them all the way out till the coolant is drained or it...
I'm looking for a new clutch for the R/T so LMK how the Feramic holds up. I'm shooting for 11's in a stock full weight car (Spirit) and I already know the clutch will be tricky ! I also don't want it...
Yikes ! I own six TM's and don't have aux shaft problems *yet*... Is it because I run 70-75 oil press ? And yes my T-III also runs this much psi with the small aux shaft gear.
+1 everything...
95 ftlbs. with moly. ARP studs or ARP bolts. The stock bolts reach 95 ftlbs. after the 1/4 turn also btw. I have an Australian made torque wrench that only gets used for critical things.
I forgot almost all the late model trans come with the plastic accumulator pistons... I always put the early aluminum ones in with a spacer instead of putting plugs in the case so the forward...
I'll have to edit some pics to show how it's done. It's just welding a small hole shut then using a 1/8" grinder to cut a 1/16" path in the valve casting...
Why not just delete reverse boost ? It might slip in reverse if you like to punch it(in reverse) but that's bad for it anyway. It easily gets 400 psi in reverse when the forward psi is 130. (It'll be...
Opppsss I just saw this... You have to move the blue field wire from the Fuel pump/asd circuit to the ign *run* circuit. When the field goes away as the relay unlatches the code pops up... '92's have...
Lol The car weighed 2450 lbs & had nitrous on it also. There is one hole in the Valvebody & another in the output shaft & you're done. 50 psi lube instead of 15 & planets/bearings that hold together.
Could be a VB problem, but *really* sounds like a governor problem if it's taking off in 2nd/3rd gear...
Simon you wouldn't believe it but the cast planets can go 8 seconds in the 1/4 ! I usually don't use the 5-pinion planets when the lube mods are done... I find the planets get starved for oil and...
Sounds like the rear band is too tight... The governor will need to be cleaned also. If it has a kevlar rear band it might have tore off some of the lining which would explain the crazy adjustment......
My favorite is the '89+ turbo atx. They have the "V6" internals stock. Which is really just a moved snap ring groove on the direct drum. pretty much everything is interchangeable among the 31th...
Before I forget, The 92+ SBECII's will work with the 87C257. I've done this to several before I got to the point of flashing the Toshiba EEprom. You don't use the 4 extra pins is all, which the spots...
I just built one of these years ago. It's the octal latch circuit so the emulator could be used. A *very* good friend told me over the phone how to do it. It could be made compact enough to fit right...
I'd delete reverse boost, so that reverse won't break bands or pistons again... Or in my case the case broke. Unless you plan on backing up *very* steep hills. (it will slip then) I actually go 1...
It's all about delta pressure. The pressure is higher where the coolant enters the block from the water pump. That is how the turbo coolant lines circulate coolant well. The #4 mod should be done so...
The '88 SMEC is missing the EMR/mileage counter in the processor. The '88 has "0550VFN" as the last seven of the pn on the chip, The '89 has "0557VFN". (hence the code 62) For the LU/EMR counter...
