Message	And every high HP car I have put together has a UR pulley on it including my own......I have never had any TT's have a rod bearing problem since the time of putting on a UR Pulley.....I do know a couple people that have had bearing failure in there TT's without a pulley installed and the cause was detonation........I also have had a couple of NA's that have had rod bearing failure and they both ran the cars low on oil....one had a UR pulley, The other was stock..... :I think it is fair to say they are safe with as many of them as are out thier now.

My ECU upgrade that is the same kind of upgrade as JWT - AshsZ (FABio) 12:46:07 02/25/03 what about dual MAFS? - aliaZ 12:57:28 02/25/03 I will have a dual-intake setup which will not require - AshsZ (FABio) 13:25:41 02/25/03 I'm more interested in the benefit of running... - aliaZ 13:39:16 02/25/03 Dual-intake splits the air between two filters so you - AshsZ (FABio) 13:42:00 02/25/03 ok I misunderstood (n/m) - aliaZ 14:35:17 02/25/03 Why not do a MAP sensor...much better for high Hp... (n/m) - Kyle(Houston) 13:39:32 02/25/03 The ECU uses a VE calculation to determine engine load - AshsZ (FABio) 13:44:33 02/25/03 Everything I have read, has said MAP is very innaccurate. - niXit 14:13:23 02/25/03 Hmmm - Marshall 14:24:14 02/25/03 Any race car I have ever seen has had a Map sensor---> - Kyle(Houston) 07:40:48 02/26/03 Yeah, having one for 85K w/ 205K on motor is WAY unreliable. (n/m) - my91z 11:49:27 02/25/03 You also have an NA. (n/m) - AshsZ (FABio) 11:52:03 02/25/03 Which sees redline everyday it is driven...your point is? (n/m) - my91z 11:53:53 02/25/03 Its not specific to RPM - its specific to torque. - AshsZ (FABio) 11:57:25 02/25/03 I agree with this (n/m) - aliaZ 12:04:39 02/25/03 I don't buy it.

(n/m) - AshsZ (FABio) 12:22:02 02/25/03 I see your pattern, "yup, ok", I like that new you =) (n/m) - ZEngineer 12:27:26 02/25/03 Hmmmm... My engine has a little shimmy between 2200-3500>>> - Bobby12many 12:05:06 02/25/03 I know what you're talking about... - ZEngineer 12:07:50 02/25/03 Damn does it bother me... (n/m) - Bobby12many 12:14:19 02/25/03 Mine does too - Marshall 12:21:50 02/25/03 yes, but mine's a separate issue - ZEngineer 12:30:30 02/25/03 I know what you are talking about>>> - Bobby12many 12:36:33 02/25/03 yes, make it stop Bobby, MAKE IT STOP!! =( (n/m) - ZEngineer 12:42:37 02/25/03 Oh, I will. :) New DS, Diff Bushings, Trans Isol Mount go on - Bobby12many 13:51:50 02/25/03 I have a great diff bushing writeup here if you need it (n/m) - ZEngineer 14:05:09 02/25/03 If youre referring to the one Mike(my91z) wrote, I got it :) - Bobby12many 14:16:38 02/25/03 yup, that's the 1. You're all set I guess, good luck (n/m) - ZEngineer 14:25:50 02/25/03 Sounds exactly like my car... Exactly (n/m) - Bobby12many 12:32:43 02/25/03 Check your U-joints, my Jeep does that when they R going out - my91z 12:50:57 02/25/03 that is possible. - Marshall 13:29:39 02/25/03 dont be surprised if as you're checking it, - ZEngineer 14:10:01 02/25/03 You're probably right. - Marshall 14:26:07 02/25/03 You forgot the key words, was it a tested on a VG or - Spongerider (Now PFC) 12:17:38 02/25/03 Shorter crank only means the resonant frequency is higher - AshsZ (FABio) 12:33:21 02/25/03 Nope... - Spongerider (Now PFC) 12:48:15 02/25/03 Ok. (n/m) - AshsZ (FABio) 12:50:43 02/25/03 that's overly simplied - Marshall 13:10:15 02/25/03 It is possible to move the resonant frequency out of range? - Marshall 12:55:07 02/25/03 In a good design, yes but > - kuah@splparts.com 13:05:30 02/25/03 Nope. Harmonics allow lower frequencies to amplify higher - AshsZ (FABio) 13:06:13 02/25/03 Re: Shorter crank only means the resonant frequency is higher - SactoTodd 12:55:35 02/25/03 An ant can carry many more times its own weight.

(n/m) - wickdGSXR 11:47:22 02/25/03 I think its dependent on the HP the car is producing. - AshsZ (FABio) 11:55:25 02/25/03 Agreed, NAs will last long, but a high HP TT will not enjoy - George(boostsolutionsinc.net) 12:03:14 02/25/03 Yep. - Dallas DamonZ 12:15:33 02/25/03 I ran an underdrive pulley from late 97-late 00 and *NEVER*> - Kyle(Houston) 12:21:50 02/25/03 *shrug* - AshsZ (FABio) 12:24:21 02/25/03 LOL.....True..I just have never seen any *actual* proof---> - Kyle(Houston) 12:30:21 02/25/03 I will agree with that.

I don't see your point? The "damper" is still tuned> - my91z 13:14:31 02/25/03 I'll reply with Kuah's answer- it doesn't need to be tuned. - Marshall 13:24:38 02/25/03 Just like shocks on a car don't need to be tuned 2 the mass? - my91z 13:28:37 02/25/03 The shocks on a car should just dampen anything - Marshall 13:36:44 02/25/03 Actually, the damper compression and rebound, but >> - my91z 13:51:00 02/25/03 it's possible... - Marshall 14:13:46 02/25/03 flywheels do nothing to dampen harmonic vibrations - aliaZ 13:08:40 02/25/03 And I said any of this where? >> - my91z 13:17:39 02/25/03 It would actually lower the tortional flexion because - AshsZ (FABio) 13:09:19 02/25/03 Did anyone actually read my post? - my91z 13:31:18 02/25/03 Yup. I answered. (n/m) - AshsZ (FABio) 13:38:30 02/25/03 I did. - Marshall 13:46:21 02/25/03 That is how it operates. It dissipates the vibration - AshsZ (FABio) 13:55:34 02/25/03 You need to look at it in the relative oreders of magnitude> - my91z 14:01:36 02/25/03 Yes I understand that. - Marshall 14:19:55 02/25/03 Such dampeners do not need to be "tuned" for a frequency - kuah@splparts.com 13:10:22 02/25/03 You are re-iterating what I said.
