Sounds to me like your leaning out past the point of combustion. Detination sounds like loose change rattling in your pocket. Another thing you can do is pull the spark plugs and look at them. If it is leaning out they'll be a whitish color and the ceramic insulators may have cracks in them if sever...

The idea behind injecting the CO2 is that it becomes a gas state like N2O. I know what they were talking about at first but I'm bring this up because it takes it one step further :wink: I'd say DEI would be marketing it if it did work as I am wondering...but....sometimes those companies over look th...

In the defense of Nitrous...... Nitrous is colder than C02 and it is no harder on the engine than any other power adder.... when used properly ! Nitrous has a bad rap because people don't understand that it requires more fuel. Nitrous does two things....1, It adds TONS of very dense oxygen molecules...

I've been using Lucas in my car for over 11,000 miles in both the engine and the transmission. I've seen no such evidence of airation or my car would have craped the trans and spun bearings a LONG time ago. My car is daily driven and I get on it all the time running 24-26psi of boost. Driving to wor...

http://www.atpturbo.co or http://www.forcedperformance.com You could upgrade with a readily assembled and balanced ballbearing CHRA for what it would cost to buy a new t3/t4 journal bearing turbo :wink: Since your oil seal is leaking the first thing you need to check is your turbo oil drain hose.

Lime...the GT32 from Garrett isn't an "R" series turbo. They are journal bearing. It has a smaller compressor wheel than the GT3037R and a larger turbine that falls between the GT35R and the GT3037. The GT32 only supports up to 420HP (I've seen DSM's put 450 to the wheels with it). The meg...

Tisk...tisk...tisk....fellas..... Wheel hop is what breaks most all those components. I'd suggest putting money into SRD A-arm and tranny crossmember bushings, & stiffer motor mounts (ie Mazdaspeed, and or filled stock mounts). Also change your tranny fluid to Lucas 80w90 with 1 bottle of Lucas ...

I need to pull my old SOHC engine out of the barn and start comparing port sizes, valve sizes, & quench areas of the combustion chambers vs. my J-Spec B6T head I'm using a die grinder and carbide bur on :wink: You all think the SOHC is crap...I bet you the rods are the exact same small b6 rods u...

I bet you used an adjustable fuel pressure regulator with the S-AFC didn't you :wink: Other things that help are boost timing retard ignition devices...then you can run 30* of advance at idle requiring more fuel and giving peepier throttle response on or off boost. A hotter ignition period helps a L...

460's can be made to work with the S-AFC...but...they are not fuel efficient and you'll have to idle the car up around 1300rpm's. I used to run 440's back in the day that way. As previously mentioned, a good match would be the 320-330ish cc range. I have a set of GTX high impedance injectors (330ish...

First 1/8th mile on new built bottom end

First time to the track with the new motor broke in good. I couldn't get the car to come out of the hole worth a crap...this time instead of frying tires it now bogs horribly with the heavy flywheel. I even tried leaving the line at 3000rpm and it STILL bogged! With the light weight flywheel on the ...

Wet nitrous isn't safer than dry or vice versa on their own . The most acurate way is dry nitrous with a EMS that specializes in Nitrous injection controll coupled with the correct fuel system . For example...the Accel DFI Gen 7+ is THE best EMS system I've seen when running nitrous on top of everyt...
