Re: WK Grand Cherokee Diesel
The local shop made the custom heater fitting last week, I made the hold-down Saturday and installed the setup, with a couple of extra pipe fittings to come out to a 5/8" hose barb. I moved on to installing the turbo and found that one of the threaded holes in the exhaust manifold flange was st...

I just placed the order for the TuneZilla Stage 1.5 tune that I'll need to run the vehicle due to the hardware alterations. They'll ship me their flash loader, then I download my stock tune & send to them. They'll modify it, email it back to me and I'll flash it to the vehicle. Turbo and Y-pipe ...

Re: dura-pig? durpig?
I kinda thought this was worth sharing in this thread, LB7 duramax, left, late 80's 454, right. an LB7 is around 1000 pounds, making it about 300 pounds heavier than my 454, I inquired in a FB group about the weight difference, and the consensus was the 454 springs work fine in this application. ht...

Re: dura-pig? durpig?
I mean, other than it being rare, is there value in the 3.21 rear? Why the 6L90 and not an A1000? size? I haven't decided on a name, I kinda like durapig, but I'm not settled on anything. I'm hoping to have some time this weekend to cut up the chassis in the garage and get the bulk of it out of the...

Re: dura-pig? durpig?
The SquareMax kit is not your cup of tea? it's plan b, if I can work it out easy enough with parts I already have, I would prefer to do so. The squaremax kit is nice, but it's also very pricey, $1600 for a pair of mounts and a trans crossmember is a bit much for my current budget. I do want to say,...

apparently plates like that are a thing on third gen F bodies, and a bunch of guys are happy with the results. https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/organized-drag-racing-autocross/788050-master-cylinder-brace.html this is definitely worth keeping more in mind than I thought.

Re: Staggered tire fitment.
Like the 50/50 BMWs, the Corvette racers run square for best performance on the track. Yep, when I was time attacking my C6 the move was always to switch to a square setup (Running 315s front and rear does hurt the tire budget though). The factory tire stagger is to make the car less likely to over...

Re: The Mule rides again (sort of) - pics.
In working on the Jeep... There is an "open-at-rest" drive-by-wire throttle upstream of the intake neck. It's normally fully open, but closes a bit when EGR is active in order to reduce intake manifold pressure and help EGR gas make it into the intake neck. I noticed as I was reassembling ...

Re: WK Grand Cherokee Diesel
Finally installed the intake neck. The intake neck is a plastic piece that splits airflow into the two intake manifolds... similar in concept to the intake bridge on a Duramax. I realized last weekend that I did not have all the seals I'd need to put new seals in all the locations on the intake neck...

Re: The SERIOUS Wheel & Tire Thread
Now running 315/30/18 rear and 265/35/18 fronts on my 88. The tires are Nankang CR-S (200tw). The wheels are Apex SM-10 18x9.5 ET35 and 18x11 ET35. I'm running a small (3 or 5mm) spacer in the rear to clear the trailing link, which is lowered by 45mm at the upright compared to the stock. Otherwise ...

Re: Staggered tire fitment.
If you could theoretically get to a 50/50 weight distribution, would you be able to run a square setup? Or should there always be a stagger given the mid engine layout? I think that this concept of sizing tires according to weight distribution is unrelated to the position of the engine in the car. ...
