Re: Ls1 and 4l80 into gu help!!
While your engine mounts may be to suit an ls into 3.0 gu and your transfer adapter may be 4l80 to 3.0gu transfer, it may be worth checking that the whole lot is supposed to work together. I did 4l80 and LS into a gq. My rear tailshaft is about 90mm shorter than standard. I'd be supprised if you can ...

Re: 80 vs 100 series swivel hubs.
Thanks guys. I've done a bit more research and as mentioned above, swivel hubs are interchangable. So are stub axles but not hubs This means that i will not be able to get the camber change i was after.( it was a long shot anyway) With swivel hubs being interchangable, it means i will be able to ...

Re: Wheel bearings on a 79 cruiser
On some setups, the inner race of the inner bearing has an extra large fillet, to clear an extra large radius machined between the spindle diameter and face. This is done to reduce the stress concentration. If your bearing is a regular one with a regular fillet, it will not seat up against the face ...

Re: Custom front bar vs airbags
The testing for airbag compatibility for bulbars is to make sure the airbags do not go off in a small crash. ie hitting a roo on the freeway. Thats why arb etc allow for their bars to slide/give in a crash. This ensures that any small impacts are not transferred in a "sharp" manner which may deploy ...

Re: Snorkel flow rates
The amount of air flowing through your intake will affect the restriction the intake is providing(thats what we're measuring). Hence WOT and a fixed RPM at full load to stabilise and fix the airflow through the intake. Then give the manometer a second or two to stabilise and take your reading.

Re: Snorkel flow rates
Sambo, good spot, my bad. mm H2O is correct. Hey Struth, size, diameter, length, cross sectional area of fittings do not make a difference(when measuring fairly constant pressures). the size of the fitting would affect the rate which the manometer responds to rapidly changing pressures as air must ...

Re: Snorkel flow rates
I'll get the ball rolling. Measure the vacuum before the filter, IE in the cavity in the airbox on the snorkel side of the filter.(so we're measuring airbox vacuum, before the filter, not having our results affected by clena/dirty/different brand filters) http://i1132.photobucket.com/albums/m579 ...
