It is a double edge sword. I like the taller tires because they give you better traction in lower gears, but they can take away some of the thrills in the higher gears. (gearing).
^^^^ This was my solution, get a larger diameter tire and you increase the contact patch as well. The larger diameter helps with traction more than the contact patch. Larger tire lenghtens the gear...
What I really mean, is a wider tire doesn't necessarily mean more grip. If you look into the total friction you will notice that the total resistance to movement is based on...
With the ARP studs you will need to line hone the main caps. Take your block to a machine shop and have them do it for you. Using the ARP studs will distort the caps/block slightly and cause the be...
I am going to use a heat exchanger that is about the same size as my AC condensor. Then I am going to do some fancy work to get the air to force its way though the cores. I am going to try and keep...
I keep trying to tell people that wider tires don't mean more grip. But in a rubber tire the bigger the contact patch, the less heat (in most cases). The #1 variable in changing the coefficient of ...
You will be fine, but plug life will be shortened significantly. The tip is iridium and is the part that sees the most wear. If the tip is broken off, it will still fire just fine, but won't last n...
I've run as high as .032 on mine up to about 23psi before it started breaking up. NGK BKR7EIX. They worked pretty good, until one of the ceramics cracked on one. lol.
I like to rev high as long as the top end can handle it. You can make more power on less displacement this way. HP is all that matters. When and how much. TQ is not a derivative of work being accom...
In essence it doesn't make much sense to use a big cam with a small turbo. You can make more power, but if it shifts the powerband too high in the rpm range, then you can lose power all-around as w...
The main reason overlap isn't desireable in a boosted application is because of reversion. The excessive backpressure will cause a dillution of the intake charge while both valves are open (overlap...
I raced a 530whp cobra in my sentra and pulled similarly. But it wasn't a 10sec car. best time up here was 11.3 i think. I ran another buddy on low boost (he makes 510whp 03 cobra) and we were dead...
Please don't do that. ATF in the gas take will plug your injectors and damage them. I wouldn't recommend that. I have a lot of customers come in buying new parts from the ATF damaging things. Pumps...
Very good read. I like you taking the time to explain the flame front speed in your description. 50cm/sec is the "typical" speed but this can be changed due to fuel being used, temp, and pressure. ...
Get nice duct-work on an NX radiator and you shouldnt have any problems overheating. The Koyo rad is the one to get but unfortunately doesn't leave room for much of anything.
please do not ruin your engine by actually driving it with ATF. It has high detergents, but the flash point is a lot lower than oil so it burns more easily. This can ruin the cat yada yada.
Thank you for that post snickers. Saved me the math. That is quite a difference in piston speed between the two engines. Perfect explanation on why those 1.6L cams don't work the best in the 20ve.
It could. I think the r/s ratio for the DET is a little higher than that though. I havn't checked it. And the 16ve looks a lil high. I thought it was in the neighborhood of 1.7-1.8?
Napa gets my plugs for me. They are the normal BKR7E plugs and have the removable tip. You could go for the heat range 9 if they are available, but most only come in the 12 or 10mm thread for motor...
