Well, to be honest the drain tube was an issue, and the turbo itself was an issue. I just should have tried venting the crankcase sooner.

Ah I told you months ago that this was the issue! I have almost the same turbo and had the same exact problem. Venting to atmosphere solved everything.

And technically you only need an air bag for accidents....doesn't mean it safe to ride like that. The anchorages are so cheap anyways.

and yes in a perfect world the only forces are straight up and down but your talking about moving componets..in real life applications. Risk is not worth the non existent reward

Concerning the 850's, a setup like that is actually safer than stock considering that the only anchorage is on the bottom of the spring.

Hose clamps to hold down a spring....a spring with a spring rate of a few hundred lbs of force . That'll be a fun drive one day

You are looking at it the wrong way. There is no force on the clamp unless the car is jacked up or the rear end goes completely airborne. Its just to hold a non pigtailed spring in the cup when the car is jacked or the rear end leaves the ground. Ive had my springs like that for over 3 years, with just a super thick zip tie, no problems...yet :lol:

For those who feel that they are on the right track, you can expand a bit on this subject.

Every year during Thanksgiving time, people probably mention, "What are you thankful for?"

This year, try to turn it around, and ask yourself "Who is thankful for me?"

Start now, so that by November, you can have a few answers to the question.

The funny thing is, I saw an article about the numbers today, and the bottom line is that the hippy commie socialist version of healthcare we have in Western Europe does not only perform vastly better than the 'old' US system, it also costs about half in raw numbers. In terms of GDP, 10.2% (Belgium) vs 16% (US)

Higher life expectancy and quality of life go without saying.

I hate to give my money to the government as much as the next guy but I don't think anyone can disagree that the system that's currently in place in the US works efficiently on any level. Any amount of change should be welcomed. Even if it's a watered down compromised version that does little of what it set out to do.

As usual, the people who are most against it tend to know the least about it. BBC had an interesting article about something similar a while back Why people vote against their own interests

What is the ratio of public debt to GDP in Belgium?

I had a similar problem with my Hahn 16g. I was blowing oil smoke out of the exhaust, presumably due to high crankcase pressure from oil blowby. I added a catch can and the problem got even worse. I ended up setting up a simple road draft tube, meaning I ran a hose from the PCV outlet all the way down to the bottom of the car and just left the tube open there. After that mod, no more smoke out of the exhaust, just a bit of oil smoke from the PCV vent to atmosphere. Its by no means a permanent solution, but its a good test, I thought the turbo was blown until I tried the draft tube approach.

Here in Florida all aftermarket exhausts are illegal.

Do you have the law and code which states this? What do you mean by aftermarket? If my hypothetical Honda Accord exhaust rusts out, Advance Auto parts sells an aftermarket exhaust which mimics the stock setup.

Answered my own question http://www.tamparacing.com/forums/general-...re-posting.html

I find it interesting that the Ferrari 599 has an electronic exhaust cutout and is sold in Florida in spite of this code:

"No person shall use a muffler cutout, bypass or similar device upon a vehicle on a highway. "

White hispanics are hispanics of European origin Germans living in Argentina speak Spanish, therefore they are White Hispanics

Its scary how many Nazis fled to Argentina after the war. Anways when I was in eastern Spain this summer, the people looked as white as any other non-hispanic Europeans and Americans.

Just because it's possible doesn't mean it should be done. That doesn't make it right.

I completely agree with you, I did not give my opinion on the original matter, I simply stated that it is possible to live in the U.S without speaking english when he said that it was not.

I have been to Miami, and no, I haven't changed my argument.

Then you are blatantly ignoring the truth that it is possible to live in the United States and not speak english.

Oh sorry I forgot about the guy that sings "Gasolina"...

If you're living in the United States you do. Pretty simple.

If you have ever been to Miami, you would definately change your argument. You can speak only Spanish and live just fine in certain parts of Miami, you know something is wierd when you see every highway billboard written in Spanish.

Man that look sick, good luck with the nira install, is the harness universal and you have to wire it yourself?

About the intercooler pipe, I also have a 2.5 inch pipe crammed right there in front of the radiator shroud, its so tight that it holds itself in place, its touching the oil and PS lines, but not putting any pressure on them as far as I know, ive had it for almost a year now and no leakage problems or anything.

362 whp on a stock Volvo engine, whats the problem here? I would have never expected it to last. What was Evolve thinking to mod a stock block to this hp and sell the kit to the public?

Also how in the heck do those bolt ons cost $16410.00? Did they itemize what made up that cost?

I havent mesured the diameter of the 16g, but ive held both my 16g and 35r in my hands and the 35r compressor housing is most certainly larger, the exhaust sides seemed about the same, but the turbine wheel on the 35r was most certainly larger.

It clears. I don't know how, but it clears

Maybe the auto trans has a larger mount? because i'm almost certain that the S cover on the 35r is bigger than the 16g. Have you measured the diameter Ben?

*also added a mods list on page 1

Wow that looks geat. What concerns me Is that I don't know how that compressor housing is going to clear the tranny mount thats below the turbo, even on my 16g I had to grind away at that mount and the compressor housing so that it will fit.

Darn that 244 is sexy!

Meh Ive always had it as tight as it can go, used with an MBC and bypassing the BCS, never had any problems. With the MBC settings left the same, tightening the wastegate arm will increase max boost with each turn.

Yes

I did the same to my car, but in the front, check the frame because I had bent it.

What are you going to calculate, give us some numbers since you know so much more than everyone else here.

This has to be the worst discussion I have ever read!

There is absolutely no calculations in this thread and the whole thing is filled with worthless opinions that are like assholes they all stink.

I just want to add. This car has 2 knock sensors..These are made for when you get low grade fuel.

as soon as pinging is heard,the car will pull timing untill it stops,then gradually add the normal timing back untill it hears pinging again....it does this in miliseconds

If your using a high compresison n/a motor its better to use supreme and more needed for obvious reasons....If your using a turbo its best to use supreme for optimal performance and obvious reasons..BUT ITS NOT ABSOLUTLY NECASSARY!

Ya its fine for stock ecu, but when you install an upgraded ecu with more advanced timing tables, the ecu is going to advance until it hears knock, and using regular fuel will cause it to knock more quickly and the ecu will pull timing, thereby increasing the amount of detonation the motor experiences, as well as rendering the advanced timing tables that you are paying for to be useless.

I had some bolt pattern adapters made for 5x100, cost about $180, but then I needed to convert to studs and all that fun stuff..do yourself a favor and buy 5x108 rims.

If its a LED gauge, youd need to hook it up to a wideband controller which takes the wideband readings and converts it to the correct narrowband votage for the gauge to read correctly, even then its highly innacurate vs an actual number readout.

If your planning on just hooking it up to a narrowband, it will be even more useless. If the tune ur using is ok, theres no reason to need to monitor your airfuel ratios.

You know one of those led gauges that look pretty? Thats why, plus wouldn't i have to monitor running lean therefore detonation at high rpms?

Serious question

why?

I'm leaning towards getting an AFR gauge, as the car will be leaned out a bit.

110 octane is where its at

Matt Puts 91 in his t-5, i put 89 in my 850 glt, i have done so for the past month now, runs great. I would putthe middle grade in it. speaking of octane tho, i was reading some guy put 100 octane in his , haha
