  1. no... On a N/A l28 dizzy, the vacuum "advance" actuator "advances" timing. It does nothing to retard the timing. If you were to run a vacuum hose to the inlet of the turbo, when you got on the throttle and drew some vacuum, it would be advancing the ignition timing. yes, "more boost will = more vacuum" but in this case, More vacuum = advanced timing. I would do as the first line of ZFury's post says and disconnect the vacuum advance all together. You could also run the msd 6btm which will retard timing one degree per lb. of boost. or do as Mario said btw... AK-Z, aren't you going to do a KA swap?
  2. that looks great. What part of houston are you going to be in?
  3. I was a member of http://www.tccoa.com/ for a while... (I think I still am) My dad had an 86 t-bird and my friend was modding out an 89.
  4. yep, a factory option hood scoop to cure a vapor lock problem.
  5. hijack Forum speak, is when a thread is taken from one direction of discussion to another completely off course topic or many different topics in a short period of time.
  6. the switch (actually a pot) tricks the ECU into thinking the engine is colder, and therefore, putting more fuel into the engine. http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=113232&highlight=av
  7. If found the pics of my car that remind me of your car... http://renegade.highmileage.org/olie_z/ photos shot by Adam Barrera btw your car has a MUCH nicer paintjob... I'm inspired.
  8. That has got to be one of the biggest hijacks I've ever seen.

  10. I have heard nothing but bad things from this company. Surprisingly, they have the largest selection (on their website at least) when it comes to z body parts. Kinda sad.
  11. fo sho I'm doing FSAE also... are you??? It would be cool to meet up in michigan.
  12. you could take the head off and measure the piston travel... or you could take the oil pan off and look for any distinctive markings on the crank.
  13. I made up the pot and wired up to the water temp sensor. I went and "tuned" just by listening to the engine for the tell tale rattle in 4th gear, and I got it to almost go away. This will be good, because I won't even be getting out of 2nd at the autox. I should have a nice margin of safety for the lower specific gravity of the av gas. pics:
  14. Here's a better shot of the seat installed in the car:

    afr_adjuster

    my home brew afr adjuster. 1k pot on the wiring for the water temp sensor to the ECU.
  19. yes. The seats did come with some spacers that i should try first. btw when did you become an admin...
  20. Jason that will work, but it will only bring the seat down abut 1-2" from where I have it, and I will lose sliding capability. Also, putting the seat that far away from the pedals will not work for me. currently I have the seat adjusted to where the seat is halfway over the front bracket. (did that make sense) either way its adjusted very far up. I think the best bet will be to cut out the stock brackets and weld in some square tubing like jon did. That way I'll retain the seat sliders and lose some bend in my leg.
  21. thats gotta be the widest rear tire under a z ever...
  22. lol!!! thats funny edit: reminds me of what potassium does with water
