    Radiators? 1 core 2 core, cross flow, etc...

    Hey guys, im looking to get a new radiator for my project car, a vq35HR (350z engine) powered 240sx. the 350z radiator wont fit, and even if it would, i might need some additional cooling later on if i decide to turbo it. I want to buy a custom radiator, but i have no idea what to get. 1 core...

    Question about reed valves

    I am wondering what the maximum limitations are on reed vaves... is there a reed valve design that can open and close 5000x per second, or is that absurdly beyone what is possible? could such a valve withstand heat variations in the 500F to 1200F range? it wouldnt need to prevent 100% of...

    air pressure in an exhaust manifold behind a turbocharger.

    i need a rough idea of what the air pressure would be behind a turbo making about 7psi of boost. turbo would be t25-ish in size and would be serving about 1.7 liters of engine i only need a very rough idea... if you say, for example, its 10-15psi above atmospheric than that's close enough for...

    tie rod repositioning

    I have a 240sx project car that I am swapping a v6 into, and i was forced to relocate the steering rack because of clearance issues. I had to lower it 2 inches because the pinion housing was in the way of the starter motor. Anyways, I figured that I could just add a 2 inch drop to the outside...

    Low press. air(high flow) powered air compressor (for higher press.)

    Basically, im am wondering if there is a lightweight air type pump that is suitable for this application. I have an air source at like 300cfm at like 7-10 psi above atmospheric, and i want to be able to generate up to about 100cfm of air at somewhere around 20 psi above atmospheric. It would...

    Anti Lag Systems - possible to reduce turbo damage?

    Ok, basically anti-lag systems are impractical because they are loud, and they destroy turbochargers. I know that the "pulses" of the explosions shock the turbochargers, and that is what causes the damage. The way to make it a more reliable system, then, would be to change a few large pulses...

    Using CAD to find camber change?

    Does anyone know of a freeware program that could be used to model a suspension system? I am interested in finding out the effects of changing the inward inclination of the struts, as well as changing the caster angle. I know the 'direction' of the effects, and I can come fairly close in 2d, but...
