Re: Squirt Squirt: The "How To MegaSquirt your SyTy" Thread The claim is that no matter what you do you can’t install it in something like a turbo manifold because of the pressure (everything I’m quoting is straight from the LC-1 manual that you can find here): “On TURBO CHARGED vehicles...

Re: Injector Queston That will pretty much take care of you, but you can do it cheaper if you care to do some scrounging. I take the stock memcal, remove the stock chip, solder a socket in it’s place and then while I’m tuning I pop a zif socket in that and cut up the stock memcal cover to fit...

Re: Duel Injector Intake Yes, you need bigger injectors to run alcohol, (how much bigger depends on the alcohol), but it’s not like you can run the same chip with the bigger injectors and everything will work fine, you’ll have to run different programs for both anyway, and if that’s the case...

Re: Duel Injector Intake That is exactly why the second set of injectors doesn't make sense, just plumb the same set of injectors/rails to 2 fuel systems and choose between the 2. with a staged setup you can really setup the fuel tables with a step wherever they're staged to come on, I've...

Re: Duel Injector Intake Get big enoudh injectors, 2 tanks and pump assemblies and run 2 separate chips. I don't see where adding another set of injectors really helps unless you're running them in addition to the first set, and that creates all sorts of new tuning issues.

Re: thinking of stick-shifted ty ... 4th gens with 4L60’s that see serious use blow them up on a regular basis, it’s almost getting to the point that if it sees hard use and has an auto you’re more likely to find a 400 in it then a 4L60, and I’ve seen some pretty dramatic failures, in many...

Re: Mounting tranny cooler under bed - some questions so you bypassed the stock cooler entirely and got cooler temps... did youhave the stock cooler plumbed in before or after the aftermarket cooler before?

Re: 4L80e Converter I’m back… the wife wanted me to build a new sideboard/buffet and some other stuff for our annual big Thanksgiving dinner plus the normal grilled bird and other BS that I do that tied me up the last couple of weeks. (I may get distracted again if the 2 post lift that I’m...

Re: Mounting tranny cooler under bed - some questions Without _something_ on the threads a tapered thread will not seal. Used correctly you shouldn’t get any Teflon tape inside the thread (as in on the fluid end of the fitting rather then the thread/outside of the fitting). Use pipe dope...

Re: Mounting tranny cooler under bed - some questions Funny, I’ve messed with a few of them lately (only the race coolers have the fittings, most of the rest just have normal hose barbs), and the generic brass fittings that I get from one of our parts houses or transdapt’s ones work fine...

Re: 4L80e Converter So what? You’re playing hard to get? Do people actually buy parts from you not knowing _anything_ about them? No stall speed, converter design, clutch design/style, price… OK, fine, yea, sorry, I guess that’s unreasonable for a potential customer to know, how about...

Re: 4L80e Converter The email in my profile (click on my name to the left of one of my posts and it should give you an option to email me) or the one that I emailed you from earlier in the week (or was it last week... they're all running together) are fine. Thanks

Re: 4L80e Converter Oh, don’t get me wrong, I was having a cow doing it, I thought it was a bad idea but when I bought the thing it actually had a big strap across the bellhousing that looks like it’s going to take a set of bolt cutters to get off, and I really didn’t want to pull a converter...

Re: 4L80e Converter Ok, looking at the last page: if I’m understanding it looks like you’re suggesting doing 3, 4, 5, but also telling me that if I can handle a 700 that going completely through a 4L80e should be a relative piece of cake. dumb question, where do I get one? Is this the...

Re: 4L80e Converter How heavy is the converter? I've got mine strapped to the front of the trans to protect the input shaft...
