I have a charger that me and my haubby are doing up. I know that turbos work well on strong motors (hence why the nissens rb motors do so well) and I know that hemis are nearly unbreakable. So with a few alterations to the motor does anyone have any ideas on the strain factor twin turbos would do to my 265?

you will have to match to size of the turbos accordingly because the higher the boost the more strain u put on the motor i would start by having a talk to a shop that only sells turbo and they will help u mach the turbo for u

changing the final drive ratio won't hurt the car, if that is what you are asking. What you didn't specify ws, what engine/trans. you have, and the gear ratio now.\nGoing to a 3:73 from say a 2:91, or even a 3:08, 3:42 whatever will do 2 things. This will make your engine rpm rise quicker, and will result in a higher rpm at cruise speed while on the freeway. Will also decrease gas milage.\nIf you are looking for the quick take off at a light, gears will do it, but won't make your car any faster. Only top out sooner.\n\nEDIT: it does not take less work for a motor to turn the diff. with lower gears (yes lower. Higher numbers are lower) In fact, the motor is doing the same work, only faster. A set of higher numbered gears cause the engine to rev up quicker, that is it. Still uses the same power. The reason people go with a new gear is to increase performance off the line, by making the engine reach it's power band quicker. An engine does not develop peak power at ide or low rpm's.

The extra track wheel was added to increase the life of the hyfax sliders. If the rear suspension is stock--it should be an xtra 12. If it's aftermarket, it could be an M-10. This sled I don't believe was rated high on horsepower. I'm thinking in the 100-110 range. You could get more info on your sled from your local polaris dealer.

The boost horsepower but look at the percentages...What difference will 5% more horsepower really make. The big horsepower maker are always the most expensive.

A 92 Integra is a good project car. Both the engine and transmission are pretty bullet-proof. However, depending on the nature of the turbo (size, boost pressure, ect...) you might not want it for a daily driver. As far as turbo kits go, there are many companies that make kits and all of the directions are included (in most cases) Either way, I tend to lean the direction of not modifying the car. The car is designed to run a certin way. If you change one thing, there are many other things that need to be tweeked to make the car run right. For instance, a turbo will increase combustion temperatures. You'll need a better radiator than stock. You'll be forcing in more air which makes more power, will a stock crankshaft be good enough? And how will you get the exhaust gases out of the combustion chamber? A stock exhaust cam won't do, you'll need bigger lobes on the exhaust cam. And these are just a few things.\n\nSo anyway, the Integra is a great car, just be aware that if you change something, other things need to change as well to keep everything running smoothly.

They WILL affect your car..that is, if you manage to fit 285/50 x 20" on a merc E. The ABS will not engage properly, nor will the traction control, if u have any. U'll burn away the clutch faster as u start-off, u'll wear-off the brakes in no time as u try to stop the 20s from spinning. There's also the added weight. More than that, since all mercs are RWD, u should think about fitting different tires with different widths for the front and rear axles (ie wider at the rear axle). Good Luck anyways!

Hmm, I knew that one horsepower was equal to 746 watts, but I didn't know the original definition.  From Howstuffworks, 1 horsepower is equal to 33,000 ft-lbs of work in one minute (or as the example in the link says, lifting 330lb of coal 100ft in a minute).  Interesting.\n\nAnyway, a motor's power output rating on the nameplate should be equivalent regardless of the voltage it uses.  The only difference will be that the 110 volt motor will draw more current than the 550 volt motor given the same loading (edit: and motor efficiency).

Here are the specs on the engine \nVG30DETT\nThe 3.0 L (2960 cc) VG30DETT produces 280 hp and 283 ft.lbf when mated with a 4 speed automatic transmission. When used with a 5spd manual transmission, it was rated at 300hp and 283tq. It featured twin T25 turbochargers, twin intercoolers and variable valve timing.\n\nIt is used in the following vehicles:\n\n1990–1996 Nissan 300ZX Twin Turbo \n1990–1999 Nissan Fairlady Z Twin Turbo \n\nHere is how to tell if it is a genuine 300 ZX TT\n\nThe twin-turbo Z32s can be spotted with a different front bumper featuring three vents for supplying air to the dual intercoolers, as opposed to the naturally aspirated (NA) models. They also came with the requisite "Twin Turbo" badging in the rear and a subtle tail spoiler, which was enlarged and redesigned in 1994. It also featured larger 245/45-16 and 16x8.5 wheels in the back as opposed to the 225/50-16 tires in front and on the NA version.\n\nOne major difference between the VG30E(T) in the Z31 and the VG30DE(TT) placed in the Z32 was the dual overhead cam design and variable valve timing system (which was removed in 1996 to meet smog regulation).\n\nThe platform was new, with a longer 97-in wheelbase and sophisticated multi-link suspension front and rear. Twin Turbo models featured electronically adjustable shock absorbers, and Nissan's all-wheel-steering system SUPER HICAS (Super High Capacity Actively Controlled Suspension), which could turn the rear wheels a full two degrees at speed.

By choosing light weight pullies, you will slightly decrease parasitic drag on the engine. \nThe effects will probly not even be noticed at all.\n\nLike the last guy said, underdrive pullies will give you a few more HP.

If you are putting in an X-pipe then you are doing cat-back but anyway i had bassani on 89 mustang 5.0L with trick flow every thing and it sounded great but i was a little over 400 HP it will depend on your application

No, they are not held to the same strict tolerances as OEM clubs. You might have 5 clubs out of your set that do not have consistent lofts and lie....you might notice over a period of time that you always hit your 8 and 9 iron good and your 7 and 6 iron bad...\n\nJust for my piece of mind, I would spend the extra couple hundred and not have to worry about equipment being the culprit behind bad shots. \n\nGood Luck!

Hi. Your link is bad. Usually there is a pressure applied to one of the pistons and the other exerts a force based on area difference. Twice the area, twice the force. Your ratio is .3 to 1.3. Hope this helps.

the specs are the same... but the compression isn't and the carburator is different, as well the intake housing.  So take to you local maine repair shop... check the aprt numbers on the gasket for the intake... if they are the same, order the gasket.... see if you can buy a used intake and carb..... and hey... give it a shot.... but also be warned.... I wouldn't run her full throttle..... I believe the connecting rods are thicker in the 90.... as well as the cylinder walls being thicker.

Go with the heads definately. While widening the ports and displacement would give you some gains the heads go alot farther. While you're doing the heads throw in a solid custom cam with hydrolic lifters and forged rods. Not only will you get bigger bang for the buck but it'll give you better runs at the track or on the street.

don't waste time and money on a weak ranger axel. search the internet and area junk yards for a used ford 9 inch rear end. ranger axles aren't very strong especially next to the 9 inch. the 9 inch was standard in older mustangs\nbut the spring perches are probably not the same. or find a 8.8 inch 5 bolt out of a newer mustang which should bolt right in. the 9 inch is the strongest 5 bolt rear end ever made which is the best choice for high horsepower.\nhowever they are hard to find used and are expensive new or rebuilt. the 8.8 inch is easy to come by and is also a better choice than a ranger rear end. if you can reply to \njordan_00_slipknot@yahoo.com with a little more info\nwhether the 1990 has leaf or coil springs how much power you\nplan on getting to the ground and type of driving you will be doing i can help narrow the options down for you.\nas far as the brakes i'm not sure but you might want to\nconsider after market rotors calipers and pads if you are\ngonna have a good amount power when you are all done.\nhope to get a reply from a fellow mustang fan. good luck!

If the 20A fuse is the size that is designed for the machine, then something is wrong with the machine.\n\nMost likely, either accumulated dirt, or worn out parts, or both, are causing the load on the motor to be much higher than designed. If you continue to operate the compressor in this way you will burn out the motor. I looked a little bit for on-line info about the compressor you mentioned but could not find it. If it is old, and replacement parts are not available, you may need to replace the compressor.\n\nOne possible transient cause could be a much lower than normal supply voltage - a brownout. If this is happening, the motor will draw more current and possibly blow the fuse. If this is the problem, the solution is to correct the power supply (if it is under your control) or to wait until it is normal again (if it is a utility supply).

you might just need a tune-up, or it could be more serious, try changing the spark plugs, distributer cap and rotor, a fuel additive wouldn't hurt either
