Nice finds.

The t9 will not bolt up to a t5 bellhousing. The v8 and 4cyl have different input shaft sizes. The t9 will not hold up to the power of a stock 2.3t, so putting a 302 in front of it is not a good idea.

Correct me if im wrong, but when the A/C is turned on, the radiator fan turns on. At least thats how every XR that I have owned does this.

Well, first you need to buy the rotated intake. You can get one from 40bob.com The throttle body and everything still bolt up normal. Then just run your intercooler piping to the throttle body and your done.

Make sure the vacuum lines are not leaking. Also make sure the charge pipe and coupler are tight. What psi does the boost max out at? And double check the compressor side is bolted tight.

I was bored and I have no artisitic ability, but here ya go.

I have failed to search and find a reason as to why when switching to a roller follower setup that the cam must be changed. When I look at a roller follower next to a non-roller the angles appear to be identical. I have been running roller followers on my cars with non-roller cams with no problems. ...

Sounds good. Again, I was just curious. Ive ran the la3 before in my racecar before I switched to stand alone. That was a nice upgrade. I would like to see the difference with the PE sometime in my daily driver. Thanks for the comments.

I didnt know if there would be any improvement over a pf3 with a TE svo ecu? I know the PE is a great upgrade, and I know that the TE uses 30lb. injectors instead of the 35s. I wouldnt mind running a little rich with the amount of boost Im running in my daily driver. I have a spare big VAM and I can...

What a difference that made! Looks so much better. I didnt know just buffing could bring out so much shine. Ill have to try it.

Im just tryin to get a starting point for my standalone. I dont really need it but it would help save time and money on the dyno.

I have been searching for hours now trying to find a fuel curve for any turbo ecu. I have found plenty of spark curves but no fuel. Does anybody know where I can locate a factory fuel table, map, or curve for any turbo ecu based on Load v. RPM? Thanks.

From what I read, the GM approach seems to be the best way. Ive read of a few people doing it, with great success. Anybody want to add to the success (or lack of) with the GM 7.5 LSD's (auburn, eaton, aftermarket truelock)? And can anyone source the ford motorsport diff gears higher than the 3.64? I...

When I did my clutch once, I didnt connect the nuetral safety switch all the way. I hooked up a button becuase I didnt no why it wasnt starting and I needed to get going. Just put the key to RUN and hit the button till it starts. Everything will be fine.

I have looked into it. In my town we have had a pump for about a year now. Ive read that some of the WRX guys using it. You wouldnt want to run just straight E-85 tho. You would want to run about 20% E-85 mixed with 80% 93-94 octane. Even then you would need to change the duty cycle of the injectors...
