I would like to know about these also.

The instructions we were given was to set the rod at a 1/8" pull and then set the boost controller to the psi you wanted to run for boost. The instructions you have for the bleeder valve seem correct if you want to lower the boost with the bleeder valve. My experience says that a bleeder...

FWD Roller Cam Did anyone ever complete one of these conversions? I was just wondering how it worked out? I have been gathering parts to complete this project on my car but am still missing the spider plate to hold down the dog bones and the push rods. Should I make a trip to the junk yard...

Ideas I think you should try and turn up the fuel pressure to get rid of some of the knock that is causing the timing to retard. A good place to start would be at Eric's recommended fuel pressure with vacuum line off. Jeasen

Alky Kit I am not sure, but I think it would only help in high boost situations. Maybe some one with some experience with both E85 and alky injection could chime in here and share their experience. Jeasen

Welcome Conrad Glad to hear we have an administrator for this section of the board, and a young man to boot. Welcome aboard. I will be 65 in a couple of months and started working on cars in 1954 when I was 11 years old. Started drag racing in the early 60s. I have been gathering parts...

I would like a picture of the 3" y pipe with drop out Please send picture of the bent drop out. Thanks Jeasen

Parts for a turbo Anyone know of a vendor where I can buy discounted turbo parts?

I need a new turbine wheel for a PT53 turbo. Precision will no longer sell me turbo parts. I did a search on the internet and it seems like I am dealing with deep voodo magic and there are few to none offering turbo parts for sale. I have a place close by that will do the balancing for me...

Parts Is that a nose badge? If so how much shipped to 66012. Thanks.

Higher static compression I understand the theory about raising compression and cylinder pressure and heat when using gasoline but, we are talking E85 here. There is a cooling effect just by the nature of the alcohol fuel. Also the octane rating is much higher than straight pump gas which would...

Higher Compression I found a compression calculator that calculates the final compression ratio during in boost conditions. With a static compression ratio of 8:1 + 25#s of boost the actual compression ratio is 21.6:1 and at 30#s of boost it is 24.3:1. With a static compression ratio of...

Higher Compression Thanks Dr. Boost and V6gofast for your reply however they were 180* apart so I am right back where I started. Anyone else have any thoughts for this question? I tend to agree with V6gofast. It would seem to me that the Buick engineers set the compression ratio at 8 to1...

I was reading another thread and someone mentioned that it would be better if we would raise the compression of a motor and make it more E85 specific. I am in the process of gathering parts for my TTA and will be setting it up to run on E85. I am going to pull the motor to look for a knock. A...

turbo Put me first in line. Will PM you.
