    Intake Evolution

    Friday night a manual 350z with exhaust and wheels was making noise just ahead, so I creeped up to him after a few lights. He gave me a nod and I burried the peddle in full auto. Few seconds later after lots of noise we're going neck and neck @ 70mph and I let off cause my wife was starting to...

    Intake Evolution

    because of the combination of everything it makes a very noticeable difference especially at speed (40+) and very loud on throttle. If there is any lose it is overcome easily throught the combination

    Intake Evolution

    In terms of it being pretty - the ugly is under the car - could have paint it but why its under the car and its plastic and its exposed to the elements. What I was after was the biggest gulp of cold air possible. Eventually I will replace the intake tube with an aluminum piece(currently...

    In terms of tires they went on very easily - I know - I mounted and balanced them myself. They made a very noticeable difference in handling and traction. The downside speedo was off till recalibrated. Just yesterday I bought 4 Michelin all season sports - size - 255/45r17 - back to original...

    Audi-style LED headlights for LS?

    At Walmart I saw a self adhesive led strip 15 inches long and thought that would be a good idea but I have the black sealant headlights-they look something like these: http://www.starceiling.co.uk/led-rigid-strip.html

    1)Just a cone filter, cut maf from air box. 2)pulled throttlebody and neck, polished neck and cut-off pertruding butterfly screws. 3)Cut off noise supressors. 4)made an air box and some ducting to direct fresh air to the box. 828509363[/ATTACH]"] 828509365[/ATTACH]"]

    828509355[/ATTACH]"] The only thing not stock externally is tire size, I run 275/40 17 Falken 452's awsome tires but speedo had to be reprogrammed.

    Phelonics,Throttle Body

    what I question the most is volumetric efficiency tb 65mm and the intake opening being sooo large talk about slowing down the velocity-I almost certain tha once the flow gets past the tb into the elbow there is a loss due to the tumbling effect created by such a large opening, there is not even...

    Phelonics,Throttle Body

    Googled the tb cleaning issue and it seams ford does have a tb cleaner that is safe - the ill affects seem to come from damage to the sensor particularly the iac and or egr- a good point was brought up, what about vehicles like the mustang that have aftermarket tb's, they dont have coating Now...

    Phelonics,Throttle Body

    The thought is not that the spacers themselves would add any power but the additional intake volume along with a larger tb(better breathing) and proper tune and cooling in combination would have a posiyive affect--I figure worst case I would be moving the torque curve to the left of the graph...

    Phelonics,Throttle Body

    Good catch this coating is on the throttle plate or butterfly and is to resist or repel dirt or sludge There exist an old tsb probably 10yrs old that warns of cleaning coated tb's Ford does not want you cleaning their tb's at all, but is common practice now that cleaner out there are made tb...

    Phelonics,Throttle Body

    ok maybe Im confusing you with the the spelling, its actually :Phenolic spacer. Its what most of the the throttle body and intake spacers are made of. Man I was really hoping for some feedback. I really cant see any drawbacks but was hoping for some reassurance?!? Heres some EDUCATION...

    Loud squeak from the drivers side wheel

    Tie rods make screaching sound when they are dry and have excessive wear-ball joints will give you suspension noise which he didnt hear

    Noise supressors

    It was a pain because originally I thought I could cut peices from the airbox no longer in used and with a soldering iron weld plastic covers on but where the chambers join ford uses some sort of apoxy and the hose if you will is rubber not plastic like the chambers. So using high temp rtv i...

    Phelonics,Throttle Body

    After working on my car last weekend I noticed even after an hour of the engine not running and engine cover being removed the intake manifold and TB are still very hot to the touch. Phelonic spacers dont do much for EFI engines cause they 're normally fairly well tune in terms of flow but I...
