1. Automatic transmissions work on the principle of PFM, as far as I can tell.

2. This makes me want a gnarly diesel truck.

Pure Fucking Magic

It will be pure fucking magic if this thing runs properly on the first test-drive.

this thread rocks...and i dont really give a shit about tranny rebuilds

props on the thorough pics

8/15/2011 4:59:04 PM

ha, well, thanks! I figured there's enough detail to keep someone interested... Some forum threads ive seen have what appears to be a time lapse photog setup of their mods... waay too much imo.

bets on whether or not my AN fittings & braided hose leaks


talk about a learning experience

8/16/2011 8:04:37 AM

Screw those cheap ass hoses. Get you some hydraulic hoses with crimped on fittings and never worry about the shit again.

8/16/2011 8:29:54 AM

cheap-ass hoses? lol, i think joey has like $400 in those cooler lines

8/16/2011 8:51:50 AM

awwww man dont say that! I seriously had about 6hrs in fitting/cutting/test fitting lengths, but it all looks good.

Hydraulic hoses would be sweet though.



I am going to try to do up a 4 gauge pressure test setup to get some data and see what my pressures are from all my test ports... looking at mickey-mic-master carr i can get some hoses done up with 1/4" MPT fittings, then a few 0-300psi gauges and whamo


PS: ^shit adam, i wasnt going to mention just so i could avoid getting ragged on

Sweet bro

went around the block! got no OD, methinks its in the wiring. I've forgotten what turboooo power was like, going to be fun getting back into the swing of dealing with more than 70whp on a daily basis

^ i know i drove the suzuki for a while and when i started driving mine again it was like OMG <3 all over again

9/1/2011 8:16:12 AM

:envy:

truck runs surprisingly well, and i was shocked as shit to get 25mpg. Depending on the weather i might scoot to mooresville on thurs night and see what time/speed i can squeeze out of these shitty sumitomo htr's - and possibly get some much needed digital footage of the thing actually running

dont make me bring the XJ over to the dirty 'mo on thursday!

9/6/2011 9:06:35 AM

fucker I'll see you there if it's not raining.

going to run the ta/kr's?

9/6/2011 9:47:08 AM

damn right. this thing is much faster than it was with the iroks.

9/6/2011 10:30:24 AM

better have that thing clean as a pen or they wont let you run!

9/6/2011 1:27:46 PM

... scratch the 25mpg.... looking at price, was actually 17.0mpg.


oh well

It's not the best, but it's my best so far

8.68@84.6, 2.18 60' (online calculator estimates 0-60mph @ 4.97sec )

Have a hard time with the setup, to say the least. Street tires, TC stall, gov. settings, and fueling is killing me. From the looks of it I am cleaning up really well, boost ~40psi - methinks my lift pump needs to be replaced with a higher volume unit to get more fueling at full boost.
