... If it was low mile, and had to come apart for some other reason, then maybe, otherwise not exactly enthusiastic about the idea. You'd be better leaving it...
That is the conclusion I came to about the rings. The cross hatch is in a bit of a bad way, lots of scuffing marks and some marks from either water sitting in...
... within the scope of mixtures that _will_ burn, if it was audibly pinging on lpg, it wasn't leanout related. I.E. a richer mixture wouldn't alter the...
... I didn't think of that. the unblocked radiator and exhaust mods will help lower combustion chamber temps. I'm sure its running about a 1.5" or a squeak...
hmm, i didn't have any issue with mine yet.. not that i have been driving it for the last 4 years ;) stainless has an issue because of "sensitisation" of the...
so what you are saying is that ceramic coated mild steel wrapped extractors would be the best of all? I've heard things that suggest wrapping can be a bad...
2009/10/24 rob83ke70 <rob83ke70@...> ... I wish I was only suggesting, and not speaking from experience :-( In the case of my friend's SR20DE-powered...
I've seen quite a few cars (road going modified cars) that had the headers wrapped and seemed ok. I know of a wrx that was given a very hard time that had the...
It also has to do with how much the exhaust system moves around behind the headers... I have never personally heard of the exhaust wrap causing cracking to ...
perhaps shorter, more well thought out posts would be good. ;) and while it's ok to ask non-corolla questions, things like "what oil should i use in X".......
Jmac, did you have any info regarding specific brands/types/availability of these pressure wave termination mufflers? I'm interested, seeing as I'm putting...
... Yes. I should think wrapping the pipes would make them cool down slower and less likely to crack. Maybe if the joints aren't wrapped as well they would...
I'm told (by the automotive body maker and engineer that I'm working with) that with mild steel, to make it brittle it needs to be heated up then cooled...
2009/10/27 rob83ke70 <rob83ke70@...> ... Mild steel mandrel and straight sections. Pipe OD of maybe two inches. The cracks first appeared maybe 4 or...
... I suspect that not having a 2nd firm attachment point caused the cracks, and not the wrapping. I know my old Subaru had a rigid exhaust mount connected to...
I would suspect the same. I know for side drafts it is important to have a 2nd firm attachment point from the engine to the carburetors, otherwise they sure...
interesting observations.. mild steel usualyl doesn't have enough carbon to have significant brittleness induced by quenching. medium and high carbon steels do...
I was told aluminium quenched rapidly becomes soft, so it should be cooled down slowly... we tig welded a damaged timing cover to repair it. The stuff about...
timing cover will be relatively high silicon (to improve fluidity during casting) and once it is solid, cooling rate should have no effect. perhaps if you hold...
Going back to previous discussion about lpg setups: Would a model L converter (larger than current model J) be ok for use with the current impco 125 mixer...
... yes. ... to 'help' this be more corolla related - brad mak who had the supercharged 5k ke20 ran a 200 mixer in blowthrough at some stage (I know this as I...
Hey everyone, I don't suppose anyone would happen to have one lying around? I'm after it for a conversion, and would prefer one that isn't broken, but _is_ in...
