    I Call BS...

    That would be at their maximum capacity, but they could do it. Having said that, they'd max out at pretty much exactly 7000rpm@10psi.

    Eliminating the Distributor?

    We're building the car with circuit racing in mind, all the changes are fairly simple compared to some of the work I've done building Rally cars... I'll be able to plan more in-depth when the car actually arrives, at this point I'm thinking of running 4 wasted-spark coils, leftovers from my...

    Eliminating the Distributor?

    Too many moving parts, not as accurate since it's susceptible to gear and chain wear, extra rotational mass. And it's quicker to change out parts on a crank trigger system too, last thing you want to worry about on race day is mucking around setting the timing on a dizzy when you only have a 40...

    Eliminating the Distributor?

    That's pretty much what I'll make, but will drive them off a aftermarket ecu, although having said that, another thing that amazes me with American car parts is how much cheaper they are than the JDM gear I'm accustomed to using, some things like Fuel Injectors, Lifters/HLA's are a fraction of...

    Eliminating the Distributor?

    Well, this is one thing that I wasn't expecting with the '94 GT we've got coming in 22 days - a distributor! Sounds silly I know, but I haven't built a car with one for almost a decade now and assumed they love affair with the dizzy would have ended on v8 American cars long ago. So do they...

    what would it take for a 94 cobra to beat an ls1

    There's only one way you're going to easily beat a LS1, upgrade your tyres and suspension, put your car on a strict diet, and own him in the corners. In a straight line, they just have too much over our 302's but their weight will bite them going through the twisties. As per your original...

    Hah! I just found a bunch of my old drawings...

    I'm 28 and never made it past stick figure - well done.

    Electric Water Pump ???

    Hmm, could do that too, I'd have to make a small circuit to do it instead of using off-the-shelf sensors, but it's a good idea. I've just got off the phone to my importer, the car is gonna be here on 10th March - yay!

    Electric Water Pump ???

    If you want a degree of protection for the cooling system, you could make up a simple warning buzzer, using a hobbs style switch to detect when it drops below a certain pressure, and a thermostatic sensor to detect a temperature shift. with these hooked into a 12v buzzer that you could mount...

    Codes 41 and 91, is the computer maxed out or something???

    It would be a crying shame to throw a carb on a motor as a bandaid fix. That, and by the time he forks out for the carb conversion parts, he could have a aftermarket ecu in and tuned for the same price, giving much better results.

    Got a virus or two....URGENT!

    There are quite a few trojans out there that are programmed to stop task manager from being able to stop them, when cleaning up peoples pc's we use a program called "Security Task Manager" that the trojans, etc do not regard as a threat. Beyond that I'm old school - DOS, notepad and regedit are...

    Streetracing "Crackdown" Vid

    Street racing is one of those things that unfortunately, will never die, it seems to be a age thing, most grow out of it, what makes it worse now is that young people can now afford much faster cars that what was around when I was their age.

    Engine Code T???

    Now this is info that is quite handy, that's one thing that appears to be lacking on the internet too, when I first decided on a 'stang as our next project car 3 weeks ago, I stated looking for technical info of any kind, and only found very basic specs, and that was it. Once the car arrives...

    anyone seen this tg episode before

    Due to the joys of living in New Zealand, the Hilux is a staple of life down here, and they really are that durable! Cheap too, can pickup a straight one for about USD$500 that will rock on for another decade, or if you get bored, a common conversion is the 4.0 v8 from a Lexus.

    How could we keep up with an LS1 with the same power?

    Problem with this thread is that at the end of the day it's a flawed comparison, the LT1's have a greater edge in both displacement, power and potential: 94-95 SN95: 215hp/1396kg = 0.154hp/kg 93 LT1: 275hp/1500kg = 0.183hp/kg = 7.4% Heavier but 27.9% More power Bore Volume: 350 =...

    Engine Code T???

    I think I can answer this one actually, all the Mustang GT's built for the Japanese market had a T instead, so yours may beone that was destined for export, but didn't get onto the boat. I'm going to Dyno ours when it finally arrives over here, there's a slim chance their ecu's were factory...

    89 mustang 5.0 Gt, parking lights, instrument lights not working.

    Electrical faults are like jigsaws, you've got to test them one piece at a time - get yourself a cheap multimeter, and start from the failed component and work your way back.

    94-98 Service Manual CD - Anyone Have It?

    As per the subject, does anyone have anything like this that they'd be willing to give me a link to? It's not long now until our 94-95 GT Coupe arrives so I'd like to be armed and dangerous when it does :-)
