  1. Do you have an air box complete with lid. I do not need the MAS. I do need the turbo hose roketa
  2. Scot, I now you said that the sale on the gears is closed. Do you know anywhere I can get one? We are doing some work for a customer and will be doing some tuning, so the gear would really help getting everything set up. Thanks, Roketa.
  3. Wanted variable cam timing gear. Who makes them now? Thanks, Roketa
  4. The fuel agrument can go on forever. The cam will use a different amount of fuel. More or Less? How about boost? More or Less? How about timing? More or Less? What I am trying to say is that everything here from ambient air temp, barametric psi., octane, age of engine, compression, etc will have to be taken into consideration. There is no one set answer. The pulse time can be shorten, but what about the amount of fuel. More air more fuel. Is there one correct answer? NO. The car needs to have a cam gear. Then you need a piggy back computer. Then you need real testing gauges, not your blue jeans. A broad ban AFM, a real boost gauge adjusted for barametric psi, so need to be able to control timing, duty cycle, amount of fuel, etc. Few piggy back are set up for this. You also need a piggy back that is set up to tune a TBI. As you might need extra injectors the piggy back has to be able to control all of that. AS you can see this is not simple change the cam and go process. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention one thing that will ruin your engine very quickly. It is a parameter that is used in conjuction with all of the ones above. Some say it is what determines if everything else is right. If everything else is correct you can run boost, you can advance your timing, you can do anything you want. You get this reading wrong and you are in big trouble. This parameter is the EGT. It tells you were you are. So, if your piggy back system cannot incorperate all of the above and then add additional such as MAP, it is not really tuning. A good piggy back will even adjust your electronic boost. You are playing with different individual parameters. Think of it as guitar. All 6 strings must be properly tuned in order for it to sound right. On a piano it is 88 keyes. Are you seeing the picture. So we could argue all day and night. Tuning is not a mystery. You have to have the right tools. Everycar, every cam, is slightly different. If you do not do it right, you are fooling yourselves. Oh yeah the dyno can tell you you are great. But are you driving a hand grenade? By retarding a few more degrees and opening the duty cycle, or controlling the AFM with the correct EGT maybe you could get that additional horse power. Or how about a set up for torque at a particular RPM range? Can't be done? Ask the guys that tune race cars everyday. They fine-tune them for each track depending on the layout. Think about it. Good night.
  5. Art, I own the car that Kelly has been working on. I bought some bushings etc from you. I found out you have an adjustable cam gear on your car. I believe it is a Starconquer Industries product. Can you give me some more information on the gear? Also when I was doing tuning we would usually go to a 1 range colder plug as we increased the boost. With boost comes heat. If you were running 20 psi boost, what short plug would you use. I would appreciate your help. Thanks, Roketa George Z
  6. Why did you take the alternator of the car? My Zip code is 95650. Let me know what you will let me have it for with shipping. Thanks, Roketa George Z
  7. What year is it from? Thanks, roketa
  8. If this is the one between the air filter lid and the turbo and you are willing to send it to me UPS ground for $25 I will take it. Thanks, Roketa
  9. I am interested in the the air can. can you please tell me what you can sell it for including shippig to Loomis,Ca. 95650. I also need the hose that runs from the lid to the turbo? Do you have one. Thanks, roketa
