BRAAP

Feed cat to dawg. Both issues solved! Mechanical pencil; Top clicker or side clicker?

Davy skipped the previous question because he takes both, so its bigger! :lmao:

Widescreen.. Viagra or Cialis?

Exactly. I added another reference in my post above.

Cranks should be rebalanced if they have had work performed on them such as lightening or being reground. Just that inline cranks don’t utilize "Bob Weights" when they are being balanced. It doesn’t matter how much heavier or lighter the reciprocating parts are for an inline or flat/opposed engine. When these cranks are balanced they are balanced to itself only, not balanced to a particular piston/rod mass. i.e. NO bob weights used when balancing an inline crankshaft. http://www.eatonbalancing.com/ebalance6.php http://www.rpmmachine.com/engine-balancing.shtml

COKE of course. Red or Blue!

As I am aware, inline engines do not use bob weights when balancing the crankshaft like V-engines. As such, an inline 6 crank that was neutral balanced is fine so long as it was not reground, carved on, or altered in any fashion, after the "balance" job was performed and is useable with any piston rod combo.

iCrash... Boost or Displacement, (has this one been asked already?...)

You'll have to forgive Tony. He is working in the shed, not wearing pants, scratching himself today...

Quote of the week... OMG, not a good visual..

...AND the shifter linkage, clutch linkage, exhaust....

I'm thinking that older Escort is probably carbonated, one fuel line, and it was already disconnected, fired up on the fuel remaining in the float bowl, which also should be enough fuel in the replacement engine to start and drive the car 10 meters...

WOW!!! Cool video Phil. Thanks for sharing... Part of me wants to call BS on this one, but it’s hard to argue with a video... They did meet the requirements of the challenge, "sort of", though at least one component was obviously pre-disassembled, i.e. the hood. I’m sure many other items were previously “arranged/set” such as everything mechanical, fluid, and electrical that isn't required to "just start the engine", were all disconnected! To fully DISconnect AND REconnect the following; Fuel line, throttle linkage, exhaust, half shafts, shifter linkage, heater hoses, motor AND transaxle mounts, Dizzy primary wiring, starter wire, (not sure they bothered with alternator wiring, coolant and oil senders or if those components count in the challenge), coolant hoses, coolant drain and replenish, would add considerably to that time. Sure it drove 10 meters without coolant, but C’mon… that’s not “truly” changing an engine now is it? The 3.1 hours quoted by the commentator for a "garage" to do this feat takes into account fluids, electrical, mechanical connections not already being disconnected prior to starting the clock…. None the less, still an impressive display…

Thank you gentlemen... 41... Enjoyed each and every one...

DOH! A month late, better than never...

Thank you. Your use of channel in the car, I'm assuming, is for chassis stiffening? If so, search specifically for chassis stiffening, body stiffening, Tube frame, Roll cage etc. There are a few very good in depth threads regarding strategic body stiffening. Again, thank you, and keep us posted on your project. Paul

I was thinking the same thing when I noticed his name in the list of todays Birthdays, AFTER he left! DOH!!!!

Happy Birthday Hugh…

WOW! GT-R was 7 seconds faster around Willow?!?!? Tires on the Porsche weren’t hooking up and the car was all over the place. 7 seconds per lap is a HUGE time difference that might be the difference between full on race tires vs ho-hum street tires, but both of these “tuner” cars should’ve been shod with comparable tires, at best. Anyone have posted times for the stock 997 and stock GT-R around Willow?

In using a different injector with the stock EFI, (I’m assuming the flow rate is something different than stock), how are you handling the fuel delivery change above the point during WOT when the AFM is maxed out/fully open at approx 4500 RPM and above! The AFM only is only used by the ECU below 4500 RPM during WOT.

I have seen that before here i the states from a JDM L-28. Not sure what it came off of. I recall being told it was a carbed/TBI truck?... TonyD or others would know for sure.

Took these pics a few days ago, 6:50 am Oct 14th with the Nikon D70s, 70-300mm lens from the front yard. There were 3 doe Mule deer in the neighbors pasture amongst the early fog. It was a beautiful morning...

As it revs, the smoothness sounds like it is probably 180 degree headers. 180 degree headers get part of that high pitched sound, but still leaves a coarseness in the exhaust note and doesn't like sound it is revving twice as high as it really is. In that video, that coarseness, especially at idle to me indicates dual plane crank. The smoother, less lumpity/rumpity pitch when revved up, sounds like 180 degree headers. A single plane crank at that same RPM, would have that similar tone, but would sound as if it revving a LOT higher, even though it wasn’t. Like the Ferrari V-8 videos earlier. They aren’t revving much if any higher than this racing Ls-7, but they sound like they are revving twice as high.

I noticed that as well. He added Singh groves for the sake of having them, not implementing them as designed...
