Where nobody's listening… but I'm still talking
I’ve died and gone to piggyback heaven in the early stages of 2012, as a good friend recently picked up a MINT 1997 Anniversary Edition Toyota Supra Turbo. I have always loved these cars and the insane amount of over-engineering that went into the legendary 2JZGTE. Since this car is probably one of the ONLY […]
It’s been 4 days since my Falcons were pulverized by the New York Giants, and it’s taken that long for me to collect my thoughts in a coherent fashion. It’s one thing for me to go off half-cocked but I like my ability to be subjective about the subject matter so it’s taken me a […]
Jesse’s Talon has come quite a ways after being cleaned up and gone through. Now all that remains is re-torquing the head studs and heading back to the dyno in our quest for 500whp. Make sure to look up your head tightening sequence to ensure you follow manufacturer guidelines. The studs we are tightening are part number […]
I had my Skyline imported back in 2008 as a parts car with the original intention of following Motorex’s guidelines in federalizing the vehicle. After just 3 hours the motor and transmission was installed and within 5 the car roared to life. With a bevy of HKS parts, my Skyline belted out 365 at the […]
A friend of mine recently picked up a 90 Eclipse Turbo for 400 dollars in non running condition. After a few minutes, we determine that the engine lacks spark and after a few tests, we find that the ignitor is completely dead. As the 90 is the “black sheep” of the DSM family, I elect […]
Early in 2009, I purchased a slightly used 2008 GMC Acadia for a family vehicle and to accommodate my growing family and the needs that come along with all the kids. With a sharp looking exterior and a roomy interior and optional captain seats, I thought this car would be a decent buy. After all…. Domestic quality […]
Header wrap kicks ass….. when it’s already installed. Yep, nothing worse than wrapping headers or exhaust manifolds, especially when you are wrapping an elaborate one as we will be doing today. One look at the Talon’s exhaust manifold and it’s quite clear to see that this task isn’t going to be an easy one. Wrapping […]
When Jesse spoke to me about purchasing my Talon, one sentence made me pause and think about exactly what this car was. The conversation went something kinda like this : Jesse : “What’s up with your Talon, I want to buy it.” Me : “Oh yeah? lets work it out” Jesse : “I want the […]
It isn’t everyday that I pause when someone asks me to tune their vehicle, but this particular Chevelle had me reconsidering. Gary Avant’s Chevelle is a 383 powered, supercharged Chevelle using Edelbrock’s EFI Pro Flo XT Engine management unit. Needless to say, a little bit out of my comfort range….. Gary has had some problems […]
When we last left the RB25 S13, the injector duty cycles kept us from bumping up the boost and making some real power. The solution? some 760cc top feed Precision Injectors to help our S13 crack the 450whp mark. Parts you will need for this conversion x6 top feed injectors of your choice – high […]
