No no I meant taper.... the Taper goes from 2.5" OD on the bell mouth of the velocity stack, then 2" OD on the base of the velocity stack down the runners to the end of the throttle body where its about 1.7" OD.
-
Good call guys!
You are correct! My mistake! Apparently I need to do some more research! lol
Im getting close to having some money to buy the aluminum bends for now.. I will calculate final measurements soon. I don't know how taper affects the equation though.. hmm
-
The calculation is from the Center of the Intake Valve to the Throttle body..
I dont believe the length from the plenum to the throttle body would make much of a difference.. thats like extending my intercooler piping a few feet longer
-
Thanks Austin..
after I shoot over some cash for the adapter =) I will be buying some proper aluminum bends.. and i'll be trying out my aluminum "MIG" setup. Ohh such a gamble.

I believe Thumper and Loose Screws had the fastest times on a stock T3. and of course Jersey (you!)

I think everyone put me to shame. LoL..

I am about to convert my welder to weld aluminum..
I have found that Lincoln Electric recommends a new aluminum welding kit, which is basically a new liner, new "roller" as I call it that feeds the aluminum and a spool of aluminum.
I also did alot of research on a spool gun.
Has anyone had any success with the new liner and feed? or would you recommend a spool gun?!
Also I did some research on "Spray Arc" versus "Pulse arc" and I was not able to find any information what my welder produces. Since I have a CV "constant voltage" machine, I assumed my welder is a Spray Arc.
Can I convert a Spray arc to a Pulse arc? or do I have to buy a Pulse Arc machine?!
Thanks guys! I know its a dead thread and lots of questions but my searching ability and all this reading brought me to a dead end.

looks great!
-
anndd ill find a new pic of the engine today..
quite alot of changes
-
Forrest it was lubed properly with wheel bearing grease.. and a whole lot of it
510six... good call.. Ill start looking around!
thanks!

I am ruling out.. im definitly not over extending.. i tried all clutch positions im not moving far enough
-
Gabe.. it appears your engine is missing... just fyi.
-
Good ol thread back from the dead.
Same problems now.. and I am using an 11/16" slave and 3/4" master.. apparently the STOCK 3/4" slave didnt work out for very long.
sooo.. eh. Im going to try making an adjustable slave cylinder "arm" or push-rod. maybe adding .5" will help me out
-
thank you for your suggestions Dragon!
you may be right. I will check it out..
I do know that in 1st/reverse.. i can tell the clutch is not fully disengaged..
one example is sitting at a stop light with the clutch it.. i can feel the clutch chatter slightly.. and when i had bad u-joints in the half shafts they were clanking around. So its not fully disengaged.
Maybe ill try going back to the stock slave cylinder.. instead of the Pathfinder (11/16" one). Is the stock Z slave a 3/4"?
-
i tried both collars.. i cant remember the sizes.. but its properly sized.
Its primarily the pressure plate =(
-
i hate my ACT full faced sprung clutch disc.
I have not been able to have it fully disengage for 1st/reverse ... even with a new master cylinder (3/4") and a 11/16" slave from a pathfinder.
hate it
-
share your findings!

Kevin,
What are you using for a brake master cylinder vacuum source and for a PCV setup with these throttle bodies?!
-
Individual Throttle Body users...
I am beginning to assemble my intake manifold I built.. and hooking up vacuum lines... then I stumbled...
what are you guys using for a brake master cylinder vacuum feed and PCV setup?!

mine makes an exciting kinda "grinding/rattle" noise when decel especially when the outside temps are very very cold.
-
you have a wicked under cut on the those tig welds man...
add some more filler and a bit less heat =)

Looks amazing!

Forza Motorsport 2 versus Project Gotham 4
in Non Tech Board
Posted
Well.. first off I am an avid racing simulator addict and ive been playing for years and years...
Favorite simulator to date is still Forza and TOCA Race Driver
however.. I recently bought an XBOX 360 and purchased both Forza Motorsport 2 and Project Gotham 4..
Forza 2 is amazing.. PGR 4 is amazing but I noticed one thing about Forza..
Forza is "too" realistic.. from my experience on the track then on the video game the physics are a bit exaggerated and dramatic understeer and oversteer are everywhere
PGR4 has incredible graphics, terrain and weather variations and a real life sensation of driving.. but the physics are toned down too far, I can whip around a corner going 140mph and im not over or understeering.. too arcadish.
One example is with the Maserati MC12 in Forza 2 I can do a full lap of the Nurburgring Nordschleife in about 6:30. Now the same track and the same car in PGR 4 I can do about a 5:40... BIG difference in times..
What are your guys opinions on the games?!
