  1. If I remember correctly, one side of the controller valve is connected to the top port of the waste gate and the other side is connected to the charge pipe between the inter-cooler and the turbo. On the dyno, the engine makes boost, then stumbles at or near 4500 rpm, and then again makes boost up to the desired rpm shift point. I'm running an Electromotive ignition system and we have tried to turn the stumble out, with little success. This whole process makes a lot of hp and torque, but the stumble would make it very tricky if not impossible to handle on a road course. This car is a dedicated race car and will not be street driven.
  2. I have a Tial WG38 waste gate with a 14.5 psi spring and a GReddy Profec B boost controller. The controller has a hi and a lo setting. I have the low setting at 14 psi and the hi set at 20 psi. When dyno tuning, I'm having problems holding boost on the high setting. If I install a 23 psi spring, will my boost controller still be able to open the waste gate on the low 14 psi setting or will the stronger 23 psi spring over ride the controller?
  3. John, You are a traitor! But....I still really like the car. Good luck on the purchase. Please keep us posted. Where is the link to "Hybrid Porsche.org?
  4. The Tail waste gate has two ports. Thier instructions say to use the top one for the boost controller and to use the other one, on the side, to "supply air from the intake manifold, before the throttle plate". Please refer to the Tail website at http://www.tialsport.com/. Then click on the "technical" tab near the top and then click on "waste gate installation diagram". Thanks for you thoughts and advice.
  5. I have installed a GT35 turbo and Tial waste gate on my L28 and need some supply hose installation advice. I'm using a throttle body from a BMW which has a port on it's side that I would like to use for the air supply to the side port on the Tial waste gate. Will this work ok or should the air source be located father up the intake plumbing pipe and away from the throttle body?
  6. South Carolina.....6/7 percent on house sales and as much as 10 percent for lot sales. Commission varies on large tracks of land and is often negotiated to a set amount.
  7. My 82 zx turbo has a high pitched whistling sound that comes from the rear of the car after the engine is turned off. When I open the gas tank cap and relieve the pressure it stops. Obviously, the sound is coming from the fuel system and has something to do with fuel pressure in the tank. Any ideas about what is causing this sound?
  8. phantaz,.... Where was the valve located? What did you do to reset it?
  9. Mat, I will take three when they are ready.
  10. I just sold two new Sparco Circuit seats because they were not comfortable. I have an average biuld, 5'11" 170 lb, 34" waist, and the seats were very tight on my legs and the upper wings blocked my side view. IMHO, you should always try before you buy.
  11. I received Arizona Z Car's new billet mustache bar and brace set for the LSD finned cover. They are beautiful pieces and the fitment is perfect. Thank you Dave for providing these ultra high quality parts for our cars. The links below are to some pictures of the install. The bracket in the picture hold the fuel cell. http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b105/mayolives/HPIM0402.jpg http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b105/mayolives/HPIM0400.jpg

  15. Mine worked fine with the pick up from the F54. No problems with baffels, fitment or Dave at Arizona Z Car. All is well.
  16. I little maintenance on that 25 year old piece of metal (cross member) might help prevent some of those cracks. Don't misunderstand me, I not being critical. Only stating the obvious. When rust sets in, the end result on the cross member is fatigue and then it's not ready for the abuse of hard driving.
  17. The wise man said "He who represents himself in legal matters, has fool for attorney". IMHO, you should find a local attorney (one who works in the jurisdiction where you received the ticket) and have him work a deal for you. Normally you can plead to a lessor offence, pay a big fine, and save yourself points and years of higher insurance rates. This has worked for me several times. Good luck!
  18. Be sure that you have a good ground and that all connections are tight.

  20. I am using a Wilwood pedal kit (#340-3950) with remote mounted master cylinders. We haven't decided where to mount them yet but they will probably be inside and away from my feet. This will make them easy to maintain, keep the foot area dry and free of spills and clean up the firewall. I will post some pictures soon.
