    need recommendation for a catch can

    I put a ryco one in mine got it from part master seems to do the job but as stooge said if not keeping car long term and not thrashing it ' medium to high downshifts or super charged its probably not really necessary .

    Underbody Aero Panels

    Lol you could be %100 correct I don't have anything to prove or disprove your comments. I guess without proper testing it's just guessing. It would not be the first time I have invested time and money and been bitterly disappointed in the results. Actually it's been lots of times I'm sure I'll...

    Underbody Aero Panels

    Is it really that difficult . I would have thought most of the servicing are engine bay related which has a small cover with a few easy to get to bolts and the rest are separate pieces that could be taken of as needed . I am referring to factory underbody kit which has been determined to do...

    Aerodynamics and other complicated stuff

    I thought the idea of putting the air into the wheel well was to help reattach the air going down the side of the car which is separated at the wheel arch . He shows some cars with ducting going into the radiator then ducted out ,some into the wheel wheels some under the car ? All really good...

    Aerodynamics and other complicated stuff

    Julian has some really good stuff on aero and how to test and he is easy to understand . I recommend him to people but most of the time they get that glazed look or not really interested . I tried explaining a few things on jc ( probably not very well ) but felt as though I was getting shut down...

    No crank

    Hey thanks for the tip .It is a 04 vy v6 130k . I have tried starting it 20 or more times over the last 5 days and after the alarm went of it started straight away which is why I thought it might have been related to the immobilizer?

    How To Reset VF Evoke ECU?

    Probably best to get it checked out at the dealership if you don't know anyone who have the expertise and equipment . It will probably be a sensor?

    LS3 Lifter noise or Piston Slap?

    Hey VCoz I am in nz and to be honest I think the dealers here might be a bit better ( not much ) I don't know if he was offered his money back and not positive about how long he had owned vehicle before the issue but fire away with the questions and I will give him a call and find out for you

    LS3 Lifter noise or Piston Slap?

    Does OTR CAI affect temps ?

A mate of mine brought it for me in Australia and someone else brought it to nz anyway after a lot of use another engine said enough and the waterpump sat on the bench for some time and did not work when reinstalled I thought I...

    Does OTR CAI affect temps ?

    As I said great for quick warm up and cool downs . The temps skyrocket when you turn engine off . Mine was powered on all the time ( fans and waterpump) unless I turned battery key off . Plenty of street miles and thrashed regularly on Sundays at the strip , has proven to be very reliable

    Does OTR CAI affect temps ?

    Is that the only air inlet ? I'm guessing not my thinking there is enough pressure to help turn and straightening the air but probably just over thinking it

    Does OTR CAI affect temps ?

    A bit of subject but in my hq I have 2 fans with there own thermostats set as you say and a Davis Craig electric waterpump which has a thermostat and a brain box thingy . Great at cold start warm up and for helping with heat soak. On cold start the waterpump doesn't start up then it would start...

    OTR CAI tune with stock intake

    Hadn't seen that before. I'm a sheetmetal worker and thought I could do some sort of ductwork for some cool pressurized air to the trapdoor but it's very tight down there especially when you are installing the airbox/ snorkel . I brought a nitrous activation thingy which you set rpm and throttle...

    OTR CAI tune with stock intake

    Thought it wasn't just rpm maybe tps or vacuum aswell . Not real sure and as far as the trap door opening I not sure if it would get air from engine bay or maybe wheel arch or some from what doesn't go down snorkel . Which every way it's doesn't look like good air . The 340 snorkel is larger...
