#3. We expected number one

Yeah, event order is important. I'm thinking wrist pin seized, cocking piston which seized, and THEN the whole thing pulled apart. Is there another way the piston gets stuck in the bore? I don't have that much experience in this space

Ok, so the results... Sonoma is a great place to race.... technical track, close to the bay area, all that. Rain stopped Saturday morning about an hour before race start. they cycled us under yellow until 10min after the planned start time and there were 4-5 folks off in the mud just under yellow. T...

how much adjustability in the camber plates? doesn't seem like there's much w/ stock springs...

Here's what we did: a) valve job (to TRD shape above) b) skim head c) skim block d) install '85 NA cams e) JDM SC f) thinnest MLS gasket we can get - we think this will get us ~8.6:1 compression ratio (if you want the gory details, i'll do a followup. i'd love someone to check my work) - we also cal...

i'm not going to do anything to incriminate myself but if one was to search "angry hamster racing" they might find an MR2 that 'may' be representative... lost the super-fab teammate that did most of the work on the z600 and we wanted a car that was more reliable. so far that's true, but we...

want to machine down our head but that'll tweak our cam timing. looking for a cheap set (or cheap method) to get cams back into adjustment.

thanks

looking for adjustable cam gears... willing to part?

looking for adjustable cam gears... do you have any and would you part out?

pulling the trigger on the JDM SC, the cams. but what about the BOV / bypass? i read somewhere in passing last night that it goes off at 8psi. is there a JDM one, or can i just disconnect? i remember reading other threads saying it can be bypassed? grrrr... the research never ends...

what?? excuse me? ;-)) this is all theoretical of course. i would never, NEVER do anything that would jeopardize our car's lack of reliability NOR its ability to place in the bottom 25% of lap times... i've got my standards! more seriously, we found an '88SC about a year and a half ago for $650. ter...

would all these changes going to make the engine run lean? my understanding is the SC ECU can handle the JDM SC (10psi), what about the cams and the cleaned up intake (TB?). my guess is at WOT ( determined by TPS, AFM maxed?) the ECU delivers a set amount of fuel and if i'm able to flow more air it'...

Wow, great info!!! Two questions, do you know, off hand, the cam pulley DIA, and (noobish question) if we grind the valve seats are we going to need to replace the valves?

Thanks for the quick reply! let's see: a) love the idea of a turbo, higher compression, better cams, but just don't want to put in the money. b) i like the idea of thin HG. i'll look around and see what we can find. when we bring the head in for a valve job maybe we could deck it the tiniest bit as ...

Hi, we just finished a Lemon's race and our '88 SC felt a little tired. Turns out running ~100psi compression. Data logger calculated 89WHP. The previous race we were calculated ~120WHP which i take to be a pretty solid GZE. I'd like some advice as to what to change that would get us a bit more than...

got your PM. sorry, can't afford... will keep looking. good luck selling!

both cams and pulleys to 94040 (san francisco-ish). would these work in an 4agze?

just emailed you.

send me a pic of the alt. bracket if you've still got it. i think we're gonna need it! if it is what i think you've got a deal.

btw, I'm in bay area.

what's the compression?

our car WAS an AC car but we want to get rid of the compressor but we lose a belt pulley. you've mentioned brackets in your posts, did you have a bracket that allows us to remove the AC compressor?

still got the SC? does it have the small JDM pulley that gets you to 10psi?
