  1. why add an oxidizer when you can just turn uup the boost? same principle, add an oxidizer (o2, No2, whatever) and then you can add more fuel. just invest in a bigger turbo and your set for a long time, no need to refill (except the gas ) anyway, just my .02
  2. i didn't know which one bolted on, that's what i was askin about too. if the 5.0 fits, then i'll use that. BTW, is that the 5.0 mustang that was pushrod? or is there a new one that we use? interesting side note: i know a GIRL that used to have a 5.0 supercharged pulling 10.* 1/4s she is sexy and hot and she is taken
  3. i just read damn near the ENTIRE FAQ. that seems like a pretty bad a** product, and with the complete system (not assembled) at ~$170 that ain't bad!!! plus you don't need a computer if you use the megaview. i think i am going to pick one of those up . cheap, effective, and easy to use. Hmmm.... woohoo!!! (only problem i saw was what it said about your speedo, tach, etc not working with it. i forget exactly what it said, something like that you would have to re-wire them or use different sensors. i don't want to go back to read it again, but it's in the FAQ)
  4. doh! wasn't paying attention. LOL, thanks for the info though
  5. hey substock, whats up with the wideband? what are you using? how does the megasquirt work? is it easy? i was thinking, could it be used for MPI? hook me up with some details :Dq
  6. LOL, i have one of those volvo ones. i installed it the wrong way and thought it didn't work. ahhh, the joy of learning.
  7. it's on the ecu... it's (i think, can't remember) a yellow wire. if i look i will post it for you
  8. i was looking for some info like this. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!! i'm sure a billion people on this board will get good info from this and use it to purchase their fuel computers. THANKS!!!
  9. nice, so i get a 4.6L TB and it bolts right up? then drill and mount the injector bungs (or whatever they're called) and get a fuel rail, injectors, FPR, and the ECU and i should be good?
  10. in regards to the pictures in this post: http://www.starquestclub.com/index.pl?boar...;num=1081878928 does anything need to be done to the manifold besides the injector mounts and a new (4.6l?) mustang TB? any help? hook it up, i want to do this soon!!!!
  11. amen DJpowerHaus! that's what i'm talking about! do you drive the same way Keiichi Tsuchiya does? i don't! i have some videos of him driving, yes he's good. but like dj said, YOU have to drive the car! i never experienced understeer unless i wanted to on my aw11(1G) mr2!!! in fact, the starion gives me more trouble than the mr2. granted, i was drinking when i hit that curb. :'( so DON'T EVER DRINK AND DRIVE!!!! (i was young, don't tell me about not drinking and driving, i don't do it anymore). P.S. it was a bad a** race though!)not drag, road race. through the mean streets of LB at like 2:30. nobody on the road, which is good, and the only damn reason i hit the curb was because i had a vacuum leak and it bucked in the corner and kicked ou the rear end DAMMIT! my wheelbearings are messed up still i think.
  12. go for the twincharger man! i had an mr2 up until yesterday. i had done a LOT of research into the twincharging area. the HKS kit was awesome, never got one though, they've been out of production for years. Anyway, there are a lot of sites with diagrams on how to do the piping. it's actually better to have the air go through the SC and then into the turbo. then have a bypass valve (bypass the SC) that goes into the turbo. the turbo will actually open the valve by itself once the efficiency of the SC starts to drop. if i can find the diagrams i will send them if you still want it. In the USCC in sport compact car from February 02 there is a twincharged mr2. apparently you're talking about 300hp with a 1.6L so umm.... 2.6 would definately be worth it if you can supply that crazy amount of fuel. (shouldn't have a problem with MPI anyway) so yeah, do it man, go for it! how many twincharged starions have you seen? i would LOVE to see it, and you never know, you just migh tbe able to sell a kit or something on here. i'm sure it would be interesting to have an MPI/twincharger kit for like 3000 minus turbo. that way they could pick the max HP. yeah, just my 2 cents. send me a pm if i forget to send you the diagram. later bendo
  13. ok, this may sound silly, but N20 is an oxidizer right, so this is just adding something like "air" into the combustion chamber. since you have a TURBO!!!! why not invest in a larger turbo and not have to refill the bottle? just add fuel, magically delicous!!!
  14. man, what muffler is that? it may be a "fart can" but i like the look. seems to be a more functional size than a fart can in my opinion. anyway, looks great, what mods you have on that VERY NICE looking starion?
  15. 50/50 weight distribution isn't the best BTW, you actually want a little more weight in the back. a perfect 50/50 car will understeer in every corner unless you change your whole suspension and all this extra BS. you want something like 4/52%. someone mentioned mr2s... i happen to have one right now, i sold my starion, but i am getting it back hopefully this week. the lighter weight of the mr2 and the shorter wheel base makes it a complain to drift. it's doable, but not as fun as say a corolla. also, someone said that the AE86 has a problem with understeer? this is a actualyl a problem with the driver. i heard that the mr2 was a problem with oversteer. i haven't experienced that yet though. it all comes down to practice, determination and experience. i swear on that. hopefully nobody will get mad at me being not so nice in these last two posts, i am jsut out teh door and wanted to leave my 2 cents. BTW, DJPowerHaus is pretty right on, listen to that guy!
  16. you guys who are experiencing understeer aren't doing it right (don't flame me!!!) i am just saying you don't ahve enough experience. check out http://www.driftsession.com they have a list of how to drift each style with pictures and how to(techniques section). it might help you out a lot. then again, you could always go to a dirt track with a car with less horsepower and mess around until you figure it out. i started drifting a toyota tercel (ha ha ha, i know it's funny) and believe it or not, you can drift it without the e-brake. it's all in the driver as someone said earlier. anyway, the AE86 (hachiroku, trueno, whatever) is by far my favorite car for drifting. i have an sr5, it had all of 70ish horsepower at teh wheels, but on command it would drift like nobody's business. and the control was amazing. anyway, last thing i wanted to say was that you don't need a turbo or even that much horsepower to drift, until you are doing a manuever commonly referred to as "power-over". i think that's why you guys are getting understeer. hit the gas a little later, in fact, just keep your engine at a higher RPM too. but whatever. oh yeah suspension is key. get an all 4 whel alignment and give yourself some neutral handling in the back and some negative camber in the front if you really want to be serious about drifting your car. Sorry this post got so lon, but i ramble when i talk about things that i really really love i/e Starion and Drifting! i hope i helped someone out there, just make sure you check out that link and watch lots of videos. Â i have some great instructional type videos that show pedal movements and stuff. if you're interested leave me a pm and i will setup an ftp. good luck everybody.
  17. there's also another spot on the passenger side. it's a small rubber uh.... plug i guess. anyway, you can feed wire through it and drop your glove box. then look in there, grab it, and go back to the engine. then tie the end of the wire in your engine to the hose or whatever you are going to pull through. pull it through, and voila, you're done. i didn't know about the one on the other side, that works though, i'll have to check that out.
  18. best movie is getaway in stockholm. nothing else even comes close. in getaway in stockholm 2, a 400hp supra and 400hp escort cosworth race all through the city. running from cops, all kinds of stuff. p.s. 30 minutes of REAL racing is pretty damn intense and it's on kazaa. P.S.S running from cops is stupid. you can outrun a car, but can you outrun a radio? (no flames, i've gotten away before, but your luck runs out some day right?)
  19. wasn't there another one about leaky injectors? because mine are sortof leaky (once in a while i smell gas and occasionally if driving hard, there is a couple drops on the injectors)
  20. I just bought a greddy full auto timer. I can hook up all the wires except i have one problem, does the1988 starion ESI-R have a "speen sensor wire" so thatI can use the attack modes and speed modes, or should i be sad and assume no? If anyone knows please email me at hachiroku_36@yahoo.com. I am lookinf through the manual in theelectrical section,but it is 350 pages long.....so i may be looking for a while
