Well if the engine wasnt spinning it shouldnt be interference from the alternator. At least you already know what system to be looking at.

I love having a garage for the first time in my life....

Well, at least you got proof of something workable to go along with your aggravation of the system not doing what it says it will do.

Yeah, sounds like a pretty boring video. On the bright side, you did get all the way through a burnout without breaking any axles so in that respect the duster's track performance may be improving. :D

Sounds like you are figuring things out very quickly. It's good that you have time to dedicate to this because a standalone can be one step forward and two steps back if the only thing that really...

Yeah, the main advantage of tuning an n/a timing curve would be if the motor was stock enough so that Rob/etc could use those numbers for other people's stockish builds.

We already know what...

Just borrow that spare 3.0 motor i saw in the back of Reaper's pickup truck. Or is something wrong with those too?

Long clutch-in will just make it worse. Shifting into 3rd from high rpms would mask the problem a little because the shaft speed will fall through the speed that 3rd wants at some point, regardless...

Yeah, that last line was my first thought as well when i found out, but i figured no point in rubbing it in. :(

Hopefully you can get another chance sometime soon.

Sounds good, cant wait to hear.

Egggggcellent.

This is in the duster..

Ed makes log headers out of weld-els. Certainly way better than a stock 3.0 front mani, but not equal-length headers by any means.

Looks like they would bolt on with little or no mods (easier to slot/grind/drill mounting holes in steel than cast iron) but the port shape doesnt look exactly right. If the height of those ports is...

Oooooh a strong NX2000. I like those things.

Looking good.. except i dont think that was 140. Unless your tach was off.

Glad to hear its running again.

Hey if you wanna swap your awd caravan rear drivetrain for two 3.0 motors im down, meet me halfway tho :p

I had a pretty rude awakening when i raced the Aries at GRM. Oddly enough, the first time i drag raced that car was AT the GRM event. I could only manage a 14.5, when the car felt like a low 13...

Brent, i witnessed the drag radial issue in another short wheelbase fwd, an overpowered festiva. The way they would let go one side at a time made the thing practically a deathtrap.

Good to see...

Dont pay for a 3.0/604 core.. i got one here waiting for you to get around to it. :)

i would say micrometers or even calipers would do the job, which you could borrow or already own, for checking out of round easily in the car.

Did some 3.0 scoutwork of my own today, found out...

graduate college and get a job? Brent prioritizes several things ahead of his car, and it doesn't owe him anything. He can break it, patch it, break it again, and hop in his spirit and go do...

Well, a lot of people who are underemployed or cant find jobs have more time than money... whether they like it or not. ;)

A lot of people assume that just because your car has trapped ~120mph you...

for general FYI to people interested in this:

probly any old mic and solder wires onto the stock board. maybe even...

Holy Fack.

Your new mission in life is to NEED those injectors. Then you will automatically be 'k-car god' and people on honda forums will be quoting YOU. lol.

Well, thats a HUGE bummer. i mean if you consider how much those bearings were as a percentage of a $90 motor i think you probly lost about $7 to $8 by trashing them, not to mention anothe $15 or so...
