    The "stock ground strap" on a turbo is the battery cable that connects the battery to the body and the engine. Additionally, there are one or two other smaller (braided) straps that go from the engine to the firewall area. The ECU grounds directly to the battery on two pins and one directly to...

    A flathead in a Pinto??? :eek: You really did that? :eek: You gotta post pics somewhere or send them to me. OTOH, it was probably more reliable than the Volvo deal. ;) If you have pics, I'd love to see them. My e-mail is: gio_momma AT yahoo.com Edit: should have read more...

    You have one of those chopper-wannabee "Sting Rays"? :rlaugh: Don't make me bust out my BMX bike...LOL

    Sooo...I have to ask... Why did you say this? It didn't seem too nice or accurate for that matter. Just wondering. I really don't get all personal with people over tech stuff...but it always seems to turn into a personal thing against me if I don't agree with someone. I'm a dick...

    As long as you're driving...any of them. :) But weren't you hitting me up with the Cordia? C'mon...admit it. I may stick that one in my sig file...LOL

    AR. question

    I bet there's a number on it that denotes the area...but I haven't had one of those things here in years. I'm going to Performance Techniques tomorrow or Thursday...I'll check one out and see what I can find.

    Sooooo...I take it that means you don't wanna race then? I have it all fueled up and in the trailer...you need some space? How about the go? :rlaugh: Ahhh...just like the old days with the Pinto at the street races...good times...good times. :D

    C'mon spanky...you still calling me out? :D I've been looking for a way to pay for the gas to come out to WFC again...maybe I found it. SFAIK, there's only one 4G63 that's faster than my car...and it ain't no Cordia...not even a real car for that matter :rlaugh:

    I've never had the money to buy the really good stuff from Esslinger. But I certainly haven't wasted my time going off on tangents bolting mis-matched heads to various blocks. I'm never going to be able to stop anyone from wasting their time on some internet-fueled debacle...but why should...

    Oh yeah...trust me...you don't want none of my stuff. :nonono: Poking holes in a sheet of 1/4" aluminum isn't exactly rocket science...especially compared to EXTENDING a cylinder head (which would ostensibly involve milling???), TIG-WELDING the chambers, WELDING up custom intake and...

    EXACTLY... :D There are plenty of people I respect greatly...but that I don't agree with. DO SOMETHING...then talk about how great it is. Don't sit there flapping your gums about how wonderful it is unless you have some relevant experience. My world is kinda black and white: Talkers...

    Well...since TF isn't really TF anymore...this looks like as good a place as any to hang out. :) There are more people with 500 horse iron head motors ( :eek: ) than 500 horse Volvo-headed deals. It should be as easy as falling off a log the way it's been described. The original Esslinger...

    Spring Pictures & A White Squirrel

    The squirrel is badass. I want one. :D Most of the white squirrels I've seen are much taller and they drive pickups. The car is nice, too. <== This one lives at California Speedway.

    AR. question

    Good question...they probably don't really have an A/R number. Some of the other "asian" turbos (mitsu, etc.) use only an expession for the area (the "A" of A/R), rather than using the ratio (A divided by R), like Garret does.

    It's a free country (well, sortof anymore)...and there are stupid free people everywhere. The "unstupid" ones tend to believe people with real experience over people with "internet experience". Lemme know how your 400 horse deal goes when it happens and we can compare notes. Until then...

    "stock" is a funny notion. The stock stuff as it came from the factory is more than adequate..."stock" as it is on a car that's a few steps away from the local Pick-a-Part is another thing entirely. If you have good factory cables, that's more than adequate. If you have old hacked-up cables...
