Fucking mean! Better get some vids of skids up asap

Will be spraying crud all over the engine bay without them.

Needs more

Other cars will go right under you and you'll be sweet. Add big ass bullbars in case of truck / bus

Wikipedia has a bit of info on them, gear ratios and such

I like where this is going..

Was just looking at that earlier.. $15k. What a joke. Now if it had a mint paint job / interior, good wheels etc then it would be justified. But a 327 make a $15k car does not. Bug catcher = no. I thought that maybe it could look alright, if done properly, but that picture definitely says otherwise.

That's a pretty yuck list of cars there.. Keen for a parkup or something tomorrow arvo? Gonna be OTP in aucks tonight

2awg is 33.6mm, 50mm^2 is close to 0 awg

Anyone got some accommodation for us hamboes? Crash on couch stz?

Replace it with a hand crank

Pretty keen aye Will see what happens

Hope someone can help me here / has a wiring diagram The air con compressor in my cressida is not getting any power to it to turn it on. The air con relay is switching on just fine, and power exits it through 2 blue/white wired that disappear into the loom in opposite directions. The wire running through the engine loom to the compressor is a blue/black wire, which is not getting any power from anywhere I can find. Anyone have any idea where this blue/white wire(s) goes before turning into the blue/black wire that runs to the compressor? I was considering jumping a new wire straight to it, but would rather figure out what's in between in case it's something somewhat important.

Could hook a fuel pressure gauge up to it and see what it's doing. Seems a bit odd that it would behave the same with the AFM unplugged, so that could be the next thing to check. Otherwise ya have TPS or ECU playing up, at a guess. Don't think any other sensor will have that adverse effects on engine running.

Far out you are making some wicked progress! Almost motivating me to do something on mine... Almost...

Blocked fuel filter perhaps?

They can, but it is generally frowned apon

Probably won't be as good as dynamat but will still be a lot better than nothing at all

Oh dude that sucks hard. Hope it's fixable aye

When the intake valve is closed, there's no flow through it. When it opens, there is. Not too sure why you're stating the obvious here.. When the valve closes, you have the momentum of the air still in it heading towards the valve. It then bounces, more or less, off the closed valve, creating the pressure wave that spencer was talking about. Also, a misti engine tends to rev higher than a big fat 8, making its usable power up higher, and therefor has a higher intake velocity. Big v8s are usually geared a lot lower, so their engine revs at the same vehicle speed is lower, meaning lower intake velocity. On top of that you haven't taken into account the specific design of the ports, valves, or anything else at all.

Isn't inertia a constant? Sounds more like you're talking about momentum..

yuh Sort a date

Got a book here about head porting, Practical Gas Flow by John Dalton, it's more aimed at older head designs (and was published in '89 anyway) but still makes for a good read none the less. Has a lot of flow bench experiments (made from a vacuum cleaner) to measure flow at different speeds etc

Nah that's a tap knob. This is a real gear knob Lowlancer probably knows all there is to know about this style, so I wouldn't be doubting him too quickly if I were you. Also the style of the wheel plays just as big a part as the dish in which they contain.
