I think it needs a turdblo and e85.

You didn't refer me to any shop, I went out on my own and it seemed like a good place to go...

I actually found out about dsmcentral from c2 early on and attended a get together at slo ponys. I think I even won a raffle prize there.

Dan gave me a bad case of torrets and I landed here.

Dude, my kids are such lightweights, it's cool thou, they're getting better at quarters.

If you see your uncle again soon, ask him if it is a post car. Having the alum heads, it had a mechanical cam as well and without poly locks, they need to be adjusted quite often as well the plugs would foul and holleys aren't known for keeping there tune. Hopefully he didn't window the block.

I rode shotgun in a 67 chevelle with a tri power 427 w/ a 4 speed and when that front end came up and it took off it was an insane feeling. Although I never had the balls to launch an evo like it properly should (I reved to 3k and feathered the clutch resulting in stumble), theres a lot to be said for new cars and a more solid feeling. And being able to down shift an floor it on a corner, even in a seemingly enormous vr4, I wasn't worried about spinning the car around.

I like all cars for all different reasons.

The bushings aren't supposed to move at all, the bolt rotates in the inner metal sleeve. The bushing is there to deflect movement other than the rotating of the bolt.

Well aparrently that guy must work at Best buy,
I didn't know how many jobs you had,

Jeremy, are you a best buy installer?

before and aft the cat.

I have a good 2g o2 sensor for sale.

I'm pretty sure they were the same.

I think I still have a 95 awd crossmember if that helps.

Blow through turbo setup would be pretty cool on that, just get some shorty headers and go!

Here is what it used to look like;

Sorry, I didn't think I was being disrespectful, wasn't name calling or anything, just reiterating facts. I tried to explain something without having a bunch of misinformation being thrown around.

I didn't have to post it at all, but I thought dsmers would appreciate it since this group is more budget oriented and that fact that turbo cars need to supress detonation.

If that's coming off like an asshole, then I guess I am.

I was going to say, if you were going to run e85, w/ the stock maps, maybe run a 20% larger injector w/ stock maps to fatten up the curve.

I've heard a lot of people even running 7 gallons 93 w/ 3 gallons of e85 to give close to 97 octane w/ no mods.

Yeah, that's if you're buying $4/gallon 100 racing gas. E85 is cheap octane.

I don't know how many times I have to say it, OCTANE CONTROLS DETONATION.

The higher the octane, the less detonation.

Yes, it burns w/ less BTUs per unit, that is why you fatten up the fuel curve to run closer to 10:1 afr w/ e85.

Der, more compression. That's why most na cars wich are typically around 8.75-9:1 compression can't make the full use of e85.

The higher the octane rating, the slower a fuel burns. For a car that runs 9:1 compression, you only need 87 octane due to the lower cylinder pressure. Now if you'd build a 12:1 na motor running e85, you can fully use the 105 octane rating. That's why you run 93+ in a turbo car, to control detonation. WTF does mpg matter when you're able to take full advantage of basically racing fuel type octane.

Here's just some more info on e85. Yes, it burns w/ less btus than gas but do you realize that the summer blend is 105 octane? That means less detonation, wich turbo guys should understand means more boost means more power w/ correct afr. You don't need new piston rings. You do realize as well that our gas is gas-ahol now due to the 10% addition of ethonal.

Anyway, that's all for now.

I know some of you were interested in this considering the detonation resistance of 105 octane. You should be awaire though that the like gasoline, different winter blends cause different properties, apparently w/ e85 it's a 70% ethanol 30% gasoline blend. Anyway, check this out for tuning properties, I know it's a subie site but just try and overlook that;

Is that 274 adv? That seems like a very small cam for 7000rpms.

Then again, I wouldn't go with a hydraulic again unless it was a roller.

I've got a 454 shortblock if you'd really want to go big.

Wiring harness is spoken for, I'll let you guys know about the BOV.

wiring harness and dp pending sale.
