Real Fiero Tech

Eh, what the hell. Couple year old pic. That's the shit, yo. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v249/pyromaniacal/Car%20Stuff/Me_Car.jpg The mighty wrench of ass-whooping. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v249/pyromaniacal/Car%20Stuff/Me_Wrench.jpg Everybody has one of these pics. http://img.photobu...

I remember that. Remember the module that had fuel lines running into and out of it? It has to be a fuel sensor to the ECM. Wonder how it works? Conductivity? IR spectrometry like a smog machine? If you were really crazy, you could jack that sensor and the ECM/PROM and go to town building yourself a...

The only reason E85 or alchol is "corrosive" is cuz it absorbs atmospheric moisture, no? Same as Methanol? That and I guess that alcohol dissolves stuff that they never bothered building gas systems to be protected against. It's not like some sorta acid that's gonna eat through anything no...

I knew a dude who had a power inverter plugged into his cig lighter socket, powering a home theater sub in his back seat. He'd turn the volume to a certain point, and things would be fine till he rolled down his windows... the power inverter would click off from overload. Almost made me want to shou...

It won't help you much, but I did see an engine removed from a donor car with the help of a fucking CATEPILLAR FORKLIFT! Not one of those wimpy things you see rolling around Costco, but a big tractor with a forklift attatchment on the arm. They rolled the car on its side, the guy pulled the cradle b...

I still wonder how you found that out?

A thing that people seldom mention or ask, is how long are you willing to have the car down and out of service for? How much money can you realistically spend? Is going past your budget something you can handle? Pulling a stock 2.8 and replacing it (or putting in a prepared 3.4L OHV) could be done i...

My ass dyno is a highly calibrated and tuned piece of equipment... nobody is allowed near it except for highly specialized, skilled, hot female calibration technicians. Extended visits to San Francisco (notably the Castro) are highly discouraged due to the possibility of instrument damage from abuse...

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Is that for real? I figure some leaf blowers make several hundred CFM of airflow... so I guess it could help boost air through the intake tract. But what about the NAWZZZZZZZ? I know some Hondas have a wideband O2 sensor stock, so it could make up for the lean condition - but I dun...

Yeah that was hot...

Apparently, a single man can absorb the recoil from a .50, or even a HMG blazing away at 500 RPM in .50 cal. I guess 8 makes a shitload of mass being launched at high velocity, and the 20 and 30mm cannons are firing far heavier projectiles at a higher muzzle velocity at many thousands of RPM. Dunno,...

I been looking at those ultralight gyros - supposedly they aren't so hard to fly, and you can touchdown or take off in an area the size of a small parking lot. The one I have in mind, the Gyrobee, you could probably pick up off the ground almost, it's so lightweight. The plans are freely available o...

Crzyone - I've heard the same about the .50's, but then again they weigh 20+ lbs where a .308 is gonna be 7-12. The recoil energy is obviouly far more than a .308, but more mass slows it down the recoil velocity which is what ya feel. On the other side of things, I used to have a 3.5" supermagn...

The CIWS "Phalanx" is just a 20mm Vulcan cannon, with a nifty radar guidance system. I want one for my boat, too. never mind the fact that it weighs several times more than my boat... I still think the GAU-8 onboard the A-10 kicks the most ass of any rotary cannon ever made, though. http:/...

You ever get tested for bipolar or Borderline personality disorder? Thinking back for a second, all your posts seem to bounce between good mood and damn it all to hell mood. There's actually a couple different types of bipolar, from the type where you're awake for 4 days straight, then slitting your...

http://www.supermotors.org/getfile/235832/fullsize/IMG_1716.JPG ... Dude, what IS that car!? I just saw one coming back from a delivery on the freeway in Fremont. Trying to figure it out. Looked sorta like the old GTO (not the Pontiac, obviously) Observe: http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y149/Pyrom...

ENGLISH FIGHT!!!

....a certain *trubo* will be at a certain air flow... and it isn't *to* bad... good *turboes* by asking... And Blue Shift, in case you havn't noticed, I am very anal about spelling, grammar, and puncuation(Read sig). I reread almost every one of my posts to make sure they are perfect. I made one e...

The following is exactly what I wrote in Will's new thread. They have these really cool things called compressor maps. Using those, some lower high school match/physics, you can figure out exactly what size to use, then you don't have to make yourself look like an idiot while asking people, especia...

I hold an honorary degree in Ghetto Engineering (GE) and Shitkicker Engineering (SE)...
