    New Car Covered in Hydralic Fluid

    Hi, I have to agree with Metalguy, I have seen many cars with hyd. fluid leaks, and I have not seen any damage done. I have seen more damage done to cars by road-salt. Mechanical failures are going to happen. All cars break down at some point.I have a customers car in the shop rightnow with a...

    Knock Sensor Output

    Hi, I have long since binned them but I could redraw them. Tell me, can you or do you know anyone who could build it for you. You will need to make a board from scratch. The way it works is (this could be wrong - but it works for me) 1) the knock sensor it tuned to the motor by the guys in...

    final answer?

    Hello, MY question is this, what happens when you mix toluene and/or xylene with a small amount of accetone and normal pump gass.(98 unleaded.) Does it burn faster? Does it make more preasure/heat? I am useing this as fuel in a car, if that helps at all. I have heard many stories and no...

    Knock Sensor Output

    Hi, I built a box that works similar to the msd box, the led flashes and the buzzer sounds when knock in the motor makes the sensor produce enough voltage to pass a predetermined setting.(both times I used the motors original knock sensor.) All this helps, is it tells you when the motor is...

    NOS

    Thank you for the promt reply. So what you are saying is that the cold nitrous will not hurt the pistons & its worth the effort, but be very carefull. OK got that. I have used NOS before (playing) and has cost 2 rebuilds I bought the kit second hand and have now got it more or less correct...

    NOS

    1) Does anyone know of any problems with putting a fogger nozzle on each intake tract, as apposed to 1 or 2 further upstream and is it worth it? 2) If the nos is going to drop the intake charge temp 50-80deg c, (thanks again Retracnic) could this damage the pistons or rings?

    Xylene or Toluene Octane Boost?

    dont know if this this will work for you, we need both. if we run with only toluene mixed in the exhaust temp climes too high, with only xylene - detonation. i think the xylene brings down the exhaust temp and toluene boosts the burn rate and octane. we also found that without accetone the...
