I just would like to know if a 6-3-1 header would be more efficient than a 6-1 header or better yet, how different would the torque and power bands be with the different set-ups? Not for a particular project or anything, just in a theoretical mood and wondering why I never see any 6-3-1s for...
I want to build a Ford 302 with a redline of 6750 that has peak power at 6000. I rather have a broad powerband instead of high numbers so I want to fabricate intake and exhausts with different diameters and lengths for different cylinders.
Right now I'm thinking of setting up cylinders 1,4,6...
Think double wishbone suspension with the springs and shocks mounted to the lower control arms. That means most of the suspension loads will be going through the lower control arm right? Does it make sense to have the frame rail stay low and go to the lower control arm mounts and then have a...
I'm stuck in a hard place. Both the 13B Renesis (Mazda rotary) and EJ25 (Subaru boxer) are accredited with lightweight and low center of gravity. The weight differences (based on what I've found) are marginal from each other, both roughly 260LBs but I think the long block of the EJ would have a...
First I want to say there's a wealth of information on sizing a turbo for an engine but I can't find a single think about picking what size twin-screw supercharger for a certain engine, I spent that last week looking for how to do it. How do you know if you need a 1.6L or 2.2L Autorotor...
For the less computerically inclined, they usually use the paper and string models as described by Allan Staniforth and Carroll Smith. I play with these myself and when I started to think about anti dive/squat with double wishbone suspensions I didn't know whether us use the chassis mounts of...
I've been searching for information on propane injection on gasoline engines. The only thing I can find on Google and Yahoo are conversion kits and mainly diesel stuff. I want to learn more about its pros and cons in detail, what parts are needed to convert over to it (such as tanks, injectors...
I've searched but didn't find anything. I was wondering what kind of effect that angles such as SAI and caster have for the rear suspension. I've heard that they don't really matter but I still want to know if they have an effect at all. If you have any other information go ahead and add it, you...
Okay, I'm pretty sure Subaru never made a RWD transmission for the EJ20 engines. But to get back to the reason I posted this:
I want to put a EJ20 in my soon-to-be heavily modified Datsun 260Z chassis. I've been looking for factory RWD transmissions that could possibly bolt up to the EJs block...
