    Re: My v6 Drag Week build

    For a very short answer, yes, there are different transfer gears available for the A604 over the years/models. What they are, came in, and interchangeability... I am not the expert here on that for...

    How long did the pump last? Are you going to tear it down to see what kind of damage might have been done?

    Re: My v6 Drag Week build

    I actually had to look that one up. I honestly couldn't remember if pressure had anything to do with heat transfer. It does. LOL The conclusion for the study I just came across basically says that a...

    Re: My v6 Drag Week build

    Except the surface tension of pure water, even distilled, prevents it from having the maximum surface area for heat transfer. That is where running a small coolant mix or something like Water Wetter...

    Re: My v6 Drag Week build

    I agree, determining the exact boiling point is hard to do without testing the fluid first. However, just as you pointed out, we can estimate..pretty darn close if we know the coolant ratio.

    Yes,...

    Re: My v6 Drag Week build

    Also consider that the coolant system is pressurized, so the boiling point is higher. I'd have to do the math (or there might even be a table) to figure out what the boiling temperature is at the...

    Re: My v6 Drag Week build

    It looks sort of like the outer parts of those pucks on your old clutch weren't getting as much force applied or were not making full contact with the plate/flywheel. Maybe it's just the way the...

    Re: My v6 Drag Week build

    One of the reasons they let the engine get up to 220*F is because of the boiling point of water. Some of the byproducts of running an engine include water vapors which build up in the oil. So, by...

    Re: My v6 Drag Week build

    I'd figure temps rise because of the high load that is being demanded from the engine. My car always did the same thing, but it would level off before getting too hot as long as I kept moving. If I...

    Re: My v6 Drag Week build

    Check the turbo oil return. It sounds like there could be something there causing it not to flow (I had that happen to me a long time ago).

    Also, I agree with a restrictor in the oil feed to the...

    Re: My v6 Drag Week build

    You could possibly design something using R/C helicopter gyro's to go along with the accelerometers found in the G-Tech's. That might be a "poor" man's way to have a pretty darn accurate real time...

    It's been so long since I've had that bearing plate apart, but I seem to remember that area looking kinda weak. Maybe I'm thinking about something else and being paranoid?

    The manual rack is geared so it doesn't take that much effort to steer the car. I had one in my old LeBaron and I liked it over the P/S which always felt overboosted in that car.

    Jugs, I now have Rick Lozier's car. To my knowledge he never ran it at the track off the spray. It ran a best of 12.2@112 with the "old" 3.0 engine and tune with a 150 direct port shot (note that...
