Re: Port Energy Anomoly?

Not saying DV did this but chassis dynos are extremely easy to manipulate. Years ago back when the Fox body Mustangs were all the rage and chassis dynos were relatively "new" there was a guy in New Jersey who had one in his Shop. He was in the Mustang magazines all the time. His business w...

Re: Emulsion tube quest

Have you verified (with gauge while driving or dyno) fuel pressure is no more than 3.5 to absolute max of 4 psi? Could be as simple as that.

Re: Emulsion tube quest

IMO just changing the emulsion tube isn't going to solve your issues. Going from the richest (in terms of DCOE/DCO) emulsion tube to the leanest makes no sense to me. Your chokes are way too large, you would be better off with a 42 or 44 mm choke. 42 would be much better if you use it on the street....

Re: Resonator placement

Drone is not caused by baffles in the muffler. Drone is caused when the sound at a specific frequency (engine running speed) excites,vibrates (resonates) the underbody floor pan. Amplified by dual exhaust with same pipe length and muffler position. Especially when the exhaust exits under body. Lack...

Re: Another reason not to buy Speedmaster shit

The problem is if you send something to China, they will copy it. Looks like Procrap forgot to mention that to the factory in China. You know your “Performance” company is shit when you have to change your name to fool the retards. Guy in the video didn't send anything to China. His product is made...

Re: Mystery sludge

Question for you guys, so assuming this happens with most "performance" type oils, what is the proper maintenance type thing to do occasionally? Drop the pan and clean the sludge on a somewhat regular basis?

Re: Datsun R 16 head porting advice?

....on the upside tho, apparently Rebello in California is getting 180 - 185+ hp from these engines at 6500-6800 rpm, so....there is that. A 150 HP engine on Rebello's dyno would show 200+ HP . You can't believe anything they state as to HP. It's all marketing. They were claiming an L6 engine combo...

Re: Engine Enamel Paint for block and Blower

My perspective as a metal/body/paint guy for 30+ years. If you want it to last use epoxy primer then a quality automotive refinish single stage urethane. Eastwood is low end stuff. Anything in a spray can is low end. Including those gimmicky 2 part ones. For epoxy, If you use an acid like Ospho for ...
