Don't ask me how, but while pulling in the driveway yesterday I stalled the engine. Started back up to a heavy misfire. Pulled plugs, replaced. The misfire was replaced by a ticking noise. The #1 c...
The nismo Z is a 50K car. The STI will not exceed 33k i bet. Still no turbo. I bet it comes as a 5k package on a standard model. The 370z is an amazing car, but it still costs 40k MSRP on most models.
There is no way anyone in their right mind would pay that much money for a 200hp sports car. This is as bad as the civic SI 4dr around here. Dealers wanted nearly 40K for one with a 9k markup.
Just got word today that APPLES TO APPLES Price matching started at AutoZone. This means that they will match online pricing as long as the part is the same brand/warranty or comparable. This works...
I'd spend $1200 for cams if they net 20whp or more. Of course it is a bit steep, but hell I've spent $1500 on cams for the VE. And that's not including the N1 cams I have yet to buy from Vadim.
Subaru engineered this car, toyota did the design work. It is interesting to see Suby running a chain driven 86mmX86mm square engine. 200hp out of a 2.0 isn't bad. I am interested to see what after...
If you can feel the increase of power when the cams switch, then you are in good shape. VET cams should only really be used if you are experiencing loss of power on the cam switch. I only experienc...
I ended up moving the cam swap point to 6000rpm to see how the motor would react. Driving around at partial throttle with the cam switching would cause some instability in output. You would feel th...
Im running a spec stg 3+. It is rated for 485tq, but it can't hold up. I don't even have 5k miles on this clutch. Luckily I won't be running on high boost often. :)
Here's a few things I have come to discover over the last couple weeks. The N1 cams don't seem to have lost any bottom end power to the 20V, as the dyno suggests. The car on high boost gets retard...
I wouldn't mind testing one, but the car is at the limits of what it can make reliably. The 740cc injectors are stressed to make 500whp. If the Xcessive can improve power throughout, perhaps it wou...
I'm running an 8amu1r battery from Autozone. You can find it for cheap, if they are a year old you can pick it up for $45, but with no warranty. They aren't bad batteries, but if you don't mind pay...
