    INTERCOOLED RAM AIR

    I think I'll just turn my Gillis valve to the right a bit more.

    Thanks! That sounds pretty sweet about Delta, CO. I'd love to make it out there, but I don't know when.

Links are at the top of the page at www.binaryweb.com/88lx/ More videos are planned to come in the next few weeks, including some 1/8th...

    Kirban AFPR user's read here.

    I'm running a Kirban on my 88. Keep in mind this is the only 2.3 turbo car I've ever owned or driven, so I have nothing to compare it to. However, to me, it seems to pull quite well. 2nd does pull harder than 3rd, but I've always attributed that to the tranny ratios. I'm going to the drag strip...

    Converted to a blow through VAM setup today!

    Yes, that's Bob (40bob) who sells the Forge valves. The cam pulley is very easy to adjust. I'm sure you could figure it out. Once you see it in person, it's very obvious how it works.

    Converted to a blow through VAM setup today!

    The IAC is in the parts pile in the corner of the basement! On my engine, it caused more problems than it fixed, so I just tossed it. Things work better without it. When the engine is cold, it's a bit of a pain to keep it running when stopped, but after 1 minute or so, it will idle fine on its...

    Converted to a blow through VAM setup today!

    Sorry, I meant to reply sooner, but forgot. I've been pretty busy in the last couple days. It would backfire at just about any RPM or vacuum/boost level as long as I was at least 1/3rd into the throttle. Basically, if the injectors were putting out a modest amount or greater of fuel, it would...

    Converted to a blow through VAM setup today!

    Yesterday and today I have had problems keeping the hoses connected to the TB side of the VAM.. Worm clamps just simply aren't strong enough to sufficiently clamp 3" radiator hose. I just ordered some t-bolt clamps from Napa, so hopefully tomorrow I'll be back up to some nice high boost. I am...

    Converted to a blow through VAM setup today!

    140 - I'll try to get up with you soon so we can plan the next autox we're going to go to. Time is starting to run out.. I graduate in May and then will be hitting the road again, so I don't have too much longer. I need to check the CRSCCA schedule and see what's coming up that I can make. I...

    Converted to a blow through VAM setup today!

    latroca1 - that is the Bailey blow off valve Cro - no.. The vacuum port on the IAB blockoff plate is using the side that goes behind the throttle blade. I haven't used the IAB in months, so I decided it was time to get rid of it. I also wanted to make the vac line shorter to the BOV, so I...

    Converted to a blow through VAM setup today!

    Today I converted to a blow through VAM setup! I had been thinking about doing this for a few months, but never gave it any serious thought. A week or so ago there was a long thread about it on TuboFord. After reading that thread, I decided I had to give it a try. The hardest part was getting...

    Anybody else's car this loud?!

    I have a Dynomax SuperTurbo muffler, and around 3000 it's really loud inside.. 'course, I'm turbo, and I have a turndown before the axle. The Ranger header alone shouldn't change the sound very much. On the 2 Mustangs that I've owned that I swapped the header on to, I didn't notice any...
