    New turbo, no power

    It sucks, and is fiddly, and you really need a sewing or other flexible tape measure, but this is what I came up with after some vodka: Assuming your balancer is 7.087" (got that number from rockauto) Then every 124ish thousandths of the circumference is 1* So measure 5/8" of an inch counter...

    TO THE PEOPLE RUNNING SPECTRUM STYLE AIR FILTERS......

    I've had this problem, (not to that extreme tho) with oiled cloth filters in the past. Went to AEM dryflows. Similar form factor, different filter media. Seems to filter the small dust better than the oil cloth. Also has the bonus of not gumming up your MAF (of course that doesn't matter...

    OK. How Crazy of an Idea is This...

    Is that a crazy idea? yes. is it doable, Hell yes. Simple in fact, here's how I would do it: Figure you're inverter will have around a 95% power factor. (actually a very reasonable estimate with today's power supplies.) and you will want at least a 1500w inverter to run the 1000w block...

    TIMING SERVICE REGISTRY

    Nevada Las Vegas Pulse & Lumi Kent Moore J33300, wrenches, airlift coolant system kit, air tools, and 13 types of BFH. My schedule is insane, but PM me here and we can work something out. Cost: Two stories, and a joke (preferably funny) while we work. Also, I never turn down a good beer.

    Mel/typ4 pumps/injectors

    Personally I wouldn't go as high as 90cc without an upgraded turbo, and an intercooler. However that's just me. Mel does sell the Jr Moose, which is a little hotter than stock, but not as hot as the bull moose. (which is 90cc IIRC) It's an idea for a pump that you can run right now. (you'll...

    I Need Help Troubleshooting the classic Air Intrusion Problem

    Well first, the bubbles say the problem is coming from your filter head, or before. Also yes, the barbed fitting is supposed to be a check valve. (little looking in the parts bin and it is P/N: E8TZ-9K061-A ) So that should be replaced with the correct part. Another thing, while the clear...

    Truck cranks slow after sitting.

    Almost certianly a drain. Most parts places can simply test your alt, and tell you if the diodes are bad in it. I would be willing to bet money, it's your radio. Every single time I've encountered a drain, it's the radio has gone bad. The simple quick fix. Go to harbor freight, and...

    Transmission swap from a "c6" to a "e4od"

    Why? You could have bought an OD unit for FAR FAR less than you payed for the e40d. And then just simply installed it. Then been done. done. no sensors. no controllers. just done. I just do not understand paying the thousands and thousands of dollars for all the gear required...

    aquired 20 gallons of pink colored marine diesel fuel. anyone ever used it???

    IIRC the test material doesn't just show fuel color, but reacts to the dye itself. So masking the color, even with WMO would still not fool the test.

    Gotta few questions.

    I know I have written countless walkthroughs on how to time one of these engines by ear... HOWEVER. Every single one starts with "PM Gary (Icanfixall) as he rents timing meters for these trucks." And ends with: "Even if you can make it 'rattle on command' with the cold advance wire. Your...
