Re: Finally Dyno'd my truck I'm curious about the numbers as well. Seems like at 21 lbs it should have a lot more in it! I made 290/360 at the rear wheels @ 8psi on a pretty small turbo. The time seems pretty fast though :tup:

Re: Trans Mount Bolt - Broke Does the nut shear off when you try to loosen it? I've had very good luck with those bolt extractors that you drill a hole in the bolt, then screw the extractor in (reverse threads) and it eventually breaks loose.

Re: Battery exploded ? ! Had that happen with a small front end loader at work. A guy found the battery dead in the morning, hooked up the charger for an hour at 50 or so amps and as soon as he clicked the key to start it up, the engine cover blew off the back. Those batteries are about 3 times...

Re: Singin' the Flex-a-Form Blues One leaf spring probably failed and the other twisted and broke the same way at the weak spot. They break there because that's the point of highest stress. A combination of tightening the u-bolts evenly and to spec and maybe adding in a rubber gasket between...

Re: 2008 Zo6 Brakes Are you serious? How did you even get the rear-end back together? Seems like the axle wouldn't slide back in but I guess I wouldn't really know. After I did my C5 swap in the front I didn't notice any difference in rotating mass but maybe it has to do more with AWD vs the...

Re: Custom downpipes for 2WD trucks? Won't a 4wd one work? If you have A/C I doubt there is one that will fit your 99. I made my own and it wasn't that hard. I went from a single piece to a 2-piece downpipe (w/ ball and socket flange) for ease of bolting up and removing. Just get your buddy to...

Re: Help! Drivers side header getting red hot under boost!!!!! How does it run otherwise? Sounds like its running lean

Re: EBC rotors and pads? I went with the C5 dimpled and slotted rotors with red stuff pads. I have no complaints except there is quite a bit of brake dust. I suppose that's mostly because of the slots tho. They look great and seem to be very high quality parts :tup:

Re: pte BB 74mm for sale Seems like a good price. Is this turbo to far out of the 300-400 hp range to be used effectively? What kind of converter would be ideal?

Re: Which radiator for better summer cooling??? If your running electric fans, make sure you can support the increased load on the alternator. If your voltage drops your going to lose cooling capacity

Re: Corvette and F-Body brake brackets What type of steel are these made out of?

Re: Turbo Guru Needed TE45A vs 6765 What did you end up getting?

Re: Exhaust manifold bolts I used some SBC header bolts made by ARP. They have a 3/8" socket head on them.

Re: Mothers powerball. I use the regular big red one on paint and it works very very well. I used it with Turtlewax brand rubbing and polishing compound in the little white containers. I'm not sure how well other compounds would work. The only complaint I have is the mess it makes. Little...

Re: Engine Studder on highway with partial thottle Sparkplug wires can definitely cause what your taking about so check those. As well as the rest of the ignition system.

Re: Overheating Problem The only other "easy" thing you could check is the temp sensor itself..

Re: What exactly is a Pyrometer used for? --- Pyrometers are used in diesel engines kind of how we use widebands. Once they reach a certain temp, stuff starts to melt. They use it for tuning and towing. I guess people would use them in gas engines to judge a lean condition but only as a...

Re: Any one tried these. I got a cheap ebay one for free in an auction for something else and it looks 10 times crappier then that one but seems to work pretty good actually. I'm only running around 6 pounds of boost and I adjusted it so there's barely any compressor surge. Works good enough...

Re: Need help picking a turbo for N/A engine I want to go with the "remote" mount for ease of installation. It won't be much different then having the turbo in the engine bay, because I want to put it right on the end of the y-pipe. There just isn't room in my engine bay with A/C and all that...
