    Fuel Pressure Regulator Vacuum Reference?

    For those of you with ITBs (if you have a single TB, sorry - it's different), are you using a manifold vacuum reference to your fuel pressure regulator? I've made a manifold vacuum manifold (of about 6 cubic inches) to dampen the signal, but I'm still concerned that the fluctuations in an ITB...

    DCOE question

    I noticed some friction in the throttle return. I determined it was in the carbs. You'd release the lever gently and it would hang at about 25% open. It would easily close if you pushed it, but would hang open if you didn't. I then figured out that the cause was that the accelerator pump...

    Cleaning

    After the MO rain race the race car is very very dirty EVERYWHERE. I'm not a believer in using a pressure washer on a race car. I'm more of the garden hose and soft brush type. Typically I just use car wash soap and water. I'm wondering if anyone has used anything that works better than car...

    GTL- News from my engine builder

    Sorry for the GT related post here. But the GT forum is all but dead, and most of the GTL folks are here. I'll pull it if there if enough folks are offended. Just a happy data point. I know there are many of you that see the SIR a hardship without an upside. Here is why I see it as a...

    Cheap interesting catch cans?

    http://www.sportsmansguide.com/product/ ... ?a=1711959 <edit> Doh ... I just found that these are likely 6 liter or 1.5 gallons. A bit big for a catch can. http://oblio13.blogspot.com/2010/10/gea ... metal.html -Kyle

    Props for the runoffs coverage

    I've watched a few of the runoffs videos and I'd like to say thank you to the folks that made it possible. I wasn't a fan of the move from TV to webcast, but I have to admit I'm convinced now that this is better. Also, the broadcasters, commentary, production quality, and video quality are...

    Differential cooler sizing question

    This is a GTL question. I installed a diff cooler and the temps dropped some, but not enough. I have all the data (it might be a bit much for a post) from the temp sensor both before and after I installed the cooler (different tracks). The question is, is there a good way to figure out how to...

    Warped clutch floater/pressure plate and uneven disc wear

    This disc as well as the rest of the clutch assembly was new at the start of 2011. The flywheel was newly resurfaced. I ran 6 races on it. The only notable wear on the disc is on the outer edge. The floater/pressure plate is warped badly (about .050). The flywheel seems fine. I put a a...

    Throw Out Bearing

    Hi Guys, I'm having a heck of a time finding a replacement throw out bearing for my GTL car. The current bearing is a Nachi 40trk39-1. I've guessed at the application and ordered several based on those guesses and on cross references. Everything that came turned out to be dimensionally...
