    do I need a new IAC?

    Ok I have some instructions to reset it. I haven't tried this yet because I don't know what the throttle control screw is. 1. Engine off, disconnect negative terminal of battery for 5 minutes, reconnect battery. 2. Disconnect the idle air bypass solenoid connector 3. Start engine and run at...

    do I need a new IAC?

    You should be able to clean it with either electrical cleaner or carb& choke cleaner. You should be able to reset your IAC after you clean it. I still have to do that, I'll try to find the instructions on that and post it.

    rag-joint toasted

    So I think my Long tubes baked my rag-joint on my steering column. Bad thing is it fell apart as I was getting inspected at the drag strip on saturday. I can't replaced just that part so I have to get the entire shaft. Maximum Motorsports and flaming river make replacement parts that eliminate...

    Eaton posi install ?'s

    It wasn't too hard but we still needed to pull the Axle out just a bit so we could remove the spring in the middle. And yes that boxer was awesome, he died last year because our fence broke and we have several careless @ssmonkeys that drive up and down the street in front of my house. I have...

    Eaton posi install ?'s

    Eeek that looks like a pita. I had seen that before but wasn't sure if that applied to what I had in mind. So if I do get this thing the big install kit with new shims and bearings would be worth the money? just because I'm curious what could happen if I dont get the lash set propperly?

    Eaton posi install ?'s

    So I might go pick up a posi unit tonight and try and install it. I've been reading up on the gear install write ups and the track-lok rebuild and I'm just not sure I can do that in a night being a rear end n00b. But how bad is it to install a whole unit, will I just need what comes in the box...

    Accufab 75mm TB/Plenum Install Write-up (Biggest DUW Ever)

    Nice write up, I had one done on my car a month ago and it will be in a cartech publication sometime in the future. I did run into one problem in my install though, the damn bolt holes for the IAC valve were not deep enough so I had to improvise some washers. BTW I didn't need my adapter so if...

    (4.6L newb) rev limiter

    Yeah I know it was cuting something off, I just wasn't sure what. :P

    (4.6L newb) rev limiter

    it's probably not that good for it to hit the limiter just because the engine is shutting something off like fuel and your probably leaning out or soemthing. Maybe thats only a concern in boosted cars..

    91/92oct vrs. 87oct tunes

    Yeah, that what i'm trying to figure out because I was told that we can't advance timing enough in our cars to make any additional power.

    Plenum/TB setup worthless on nearstock car?

    Thats what I was starting to think. Thats also why I decided to keep my accufab plenum, it might give me more as I continue to mod. Anyway, I have also now fallen into the pully crowd(trying to stay away from that 4:10 crowd). You 'should' see more hp from that at this point than a plenum TB...

    91/92oct vrs. 87oct tunes

    Have any of you 2v guys with stock compression in N/A form done a comparison to see what your cars make for power on a premium octane tune vrs. stock 87 tune? With appropriate timming for each fuel grade of course. A few tuners I spoke with recently are telling me that higher octane in our...

    Plenum/TB setup worthless on nearstock car?

    Chip/tuner In addition to timming you can control air fuel ratio, adjust for gears/tranny/tire size, turn of rear o2's, adjust rev limiter, turn off traction control, ect. Basically you can manipulate almost anything electronic in your car.

    Plenum/TB setup worthless on nearstock car?

    Also, I was just thinking. You might not be noticing gains with a catback if your stock mid pipe is choking it before it gets to your catback. The rest of my exhaust is free as can be though.

    Plenum/TB setup worthless on nearstock car?

    Nope sorry, I'm never believing that again. I have no idea where people got that from. After I already had long tubes and Prochaber and all my other mods my numbers were at 262/297 which was repeatable. We exparamented to test the 1-2 rwhp gains theory on the same day and found that I got up to...

    Plenum/TB setup worthless on nearstock car?

    I just added a BBK 70mm tb and an Accufab plenum and redynod. Before I had them add my chip the plenum only gave me 1rwhp. I also found out there is like 7-8rwhp to be had by upgrading your catback.
