Yikes. At 9K piston speeds are over 5000fpm.

That would be crazy to rev to 9k. I mean, I'll do it if the car still makes power and doesn't ESPLOAD. :)

I wonder if it makes power up there.

I doubt it. lol.

I'm not sure. I don't think there is. Honestly I bet I would see power start dropping off a bit after 8K, but I haven't dynod it yet.

Revving to 8300rpm

1st 40mph
2nd 70mph
3rd 110mph

How high shoud I rev?

R12 and R134 are interchangeable. They made them this way for several reasons. Many countries don't have the ban on R12 like the US does. In canada you can buy R12 at wal mart from what I heard.

Well, last night about 10:30 I decided to pull the trans. Well once I got it out, i figured I would just rip this spare SER trans apart and get the FD gear out of it.

I counted 71 teeth on the F...

Don't forget to mix up your driving. The Catalyst monitor and EGR are both set at cruise speeds over 45. But the EVAP system is set over a series of drive cycles, (trips).

You can retrofit any R12 system to run 134a with zero ill effects, only a slight decrease in performance.

The oil used doesn't have much to do with the compressor, it has to do with its ability ...

Checking vacuum can hint of a clogged cat convertor. If vacuum starts to drop or reaches close to 0, without being WOT it can be a clogged cat.

I was thinking about going this week, but my final drive gear is making some unwanted noise. I am going to swap out the diff soon and the problem will be 100% resolved.


The FD had some chips ...

Not having the pad contact the whole rotor isn't a total downfall. You still get the higher torque from the increased radius, and more rotor to absorb heat.

You can use your R12 with a 134a compressor. However, keep in mind that the R134a is designed with higher pressures in mind. So your low/high side pressures are going to be a little different using...

27mm socket.

BWD- :Shudder:

I don't like using Teflon tape. I prefer the thread sealant. I've had too many issues with teflon having small leaks.

YouTube - supremacy racing - fast franky 10.88 pass

This is franky. he is local to me with a K20 swap. He makes just over 300whp in his hatch. And runs 10s. Of course, there is a lot to that car...

keep the EGR sol plugged in, as well as the temp sensor. Then the light should go off.

I have built a few 2zzge motors. My thoughts: they leave room for improvement overall.

For an NA engine, the block is stout. The crank sits betweent the two halfs of the block which is great fo...

I like how people put a "HP" rating on BOVs. Just silly. My DSM doesn't surge at all on the shift making 450whp.

Pretty sure you can just plug in all the sensors on the trans. But my knock sensor on the other hand has always thrown a ghost code since I did the 97 JWT computer.

Ya I know a guy locally who swapped the whole Spec V rear beam on his car. I don't think he had any issues. Of course, the 5 lug would be sick to have from a 08+ spec.

Does anyone actually have a CEL on because of this code? It is the sensor on the bottom of the trans by the differential. If it isn't plugged in it will throw this code.

4.176 with a VE revving higher. Could trap 145-150mph and run 10s finishing 4th gear.

The spec V rear beam, brakes and all, swaps over to the B14.

Well there ya go. Find you some B15 spindles. Cheap,they are everywhere. get a Spec V rear end. Brembos. Six speed.

it is the neutral switch code. The one on the trans, not the clutch pedal.

The rear bolts in, and has less toe apparently. B15 also have larger rear brakes.

I want to swap over the whold knuckle assembly. Just disconnect from lower ball joint/strut, and put them on my ...
