Big/thicker intercoolers do restrict airflow, but any overheating problems are usually due to inadequate fan flow when the car is still/at low speed. As long as the radiator is not blocked, airflow is usually fine once you get going

If you’re pushing or even towing with all four wheels on the ground (like with a tow strap) there’s nothing to worry about. It’s basically the same as coasting downhill in neutral. Our F/R bias is 1:1, unlike some modern AWD cars that have a slight speed difference between axles and an...

Nice - what front grille is that, or is it also a one-off?

Actually, it won't - the deposits form on the tops of the intake valves, not the side facing the combustion chamber. The long term problem (tens of thousands of miles of operation) is that the buildup can get to a point where it impedes airflow. Additionally, with hydrocarbons, the heavier the...

The FP3 cam is almost, but not quite identical to the FP2 (same lift, same durations, but the intake cam is advanced 5.5 degrees. The ramp on the FP3 is subtly different, but installing and degreeing FP2's and then advancing the intake cam will produce very similar results. Or as mentioned...

After doing looking around a bit at some more DoE and ethanol industry literature, the consensus seems to be that the goo is caused by not just the factors I mentioned above no detergents in the ethanol portion of the blend, and lower quality gasoline with a lot of heavy "gum" hydrocarbons, but...

Are you getting your e85 from a station that sells premix, or a blender pump? (one that mixes ethanol with gas from the main station tanks)? What you might be encountering is due to the fact that premixed e85 is often mixed using very low grade gasoline (85 octane or lower - the ethanol largely...

Try a place that sells A/C kits for Hot Rods. The 50-60's bodystyles have really small radiator grilles.Example

Galant VR-4 RS to EVO IV are 510cc yellow-topEvo V and onward are 560cc

Someone might also point out that the factory oil is either 10W30 or 5W30. Most people seeing pressure problems are running at least 10W40, or more likely, 20W50 or thicker oil (Like anyone foolish enough to run straight SAE 50 "race" oil in an engine not designed for it). An oil that is too...

Autometer makes a 3-gauge panel using 1-1/2" electric gauges, but it's fixed for oil pressure, voltage and water temperature.You can purchase them together, or individually if you look around at places like Jegs. Google "Autogage 2391" for the combo and "Autogage 2354" "Autogage 2355" and...

The reason people remove them is that the FIAV can go bad. It is normally open and the warm coolant melts wax inside it, which expands and closes the valve. When it goes bad, the wax leaks and never manages to close the air valve.The net result is a higher idle speed when cold, dropping down...

From looking at some documentation (I haven't compared the 3000GT VR4 axles directly, just the 3000GT knuckles I have in my garage), if the actual axle bar spline is the same on the outer CV (BJ), you could put the 3000GT CV on the Galant axle bar.It seems that it should be possible. Worst...

The 3000GT hub uses a hub and bearing that are a single unit, so the hubs are pretty much incompatible.There's no such thing as "almost bolt-on" The evo calipers will still require some sort of interface. Using adapter brackets really isn't a big deal compared to all of the other things you...

Bought a transmission, and he was willing to drive almost an hour each way to meet me partway - great to deal with.
