  1. What was nice is that they socketed the ECU from the factory...KEKEKEKE.
  2. KEKEKEKEKEkekekekEKEKEeKEKEekekekEKEKEKEKEkekeeKeKEKeEKEKekekekkeewlol.
  3. Joshua was very helpful and gave me some great deals on the many combinations of parts I ran him through. He was also nice enough to throw some recommendations from the crew my way. Thanks Joshua! Nate
  4. Best Race Of 2010! Fuck Yeah!
  5. So its like having a resuable ice box without the ice, that's nuts. I love it. I think I may have to try this on the GP....
  6. Those are really handsome dogs, are they yellow labs?
  7. Negatory, any links? Andrew- That would make more sense. Maybe integrate the A/C cold coils into a 1-2 gal reservoir of the air/liquid setup, and maybe even run a bypass system to keep the fluid in a "cold" loop": reservoir to cooling medium to prevent any heat transfer into the system by the heat exchanger. Close the bypass when WOT is detected and let the fluid flow through the heat exchanger when the compressor kicks off. Eh, might not be worth it and just more parts to fail, I guess. Sounds like a neat idea though.....I may just have to try it......
  8. Brian- any crank driven power adder takes power to make power. even turbochargers take energy (it's somewhat free though). The trick is to make a lot more power than you take. That said it's cool idea to think about There's a few problems with it though: -The AC compressor takes a decent amount of HP to drive. Most cars disable it at X rpm or when load exceeds a certain value. On low displacement engines, you could feel the AC bogging down the motor. -R134a sucks. It has a low evap point compared to R22. -The heat has to go somewhere. If you bridge the system off the condenser - it holds the heat. The condenser is usually behind the intercooler, but before the radiator. So you may now have higher under hood temps. The best way I could see it used were to be a recharge setup. During cruise and possibly colder temperature idling, the compressor kicks on and pumps freon through a set of coils mounted to the IC. The IC is kept in a chilled state so transition into boost is on a cold IC. After the run is done and cruise is detected, compressor kicks on and the cycle repeats.
  9. See, a stock gasket ain't so bad in these situations. Chris- the "you" was meant as a general term, not you, as in yourself. The 3800 has a decent bottom end, but it's no where near bullet proof outside of controlled conditions. Many educated people blow engines, how do you think anything is improved? You are only stupid if you don't learn anything to correct the problem. Thats where two of the 3800 vendors differ They both have taken out motors, though.
  10. Rather be pulling the motor to replace some pistons?
  11. Some people see stock gaskets as relief valves. Anything goes wrong, they pop. The deck is most likely OK, just a simple swap, and you are on the road again. The bottom end is in tact and you can evaluate and narrow down what caused it and hopefully fix it. With MLS they can seal a bit toooo good, and in the event of some trouble, major damage can result. Just something to consider with those factory pistons in there.
  12. I have a spare one if you ever need it....
  13. whrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrRRRRRRRRRRR VSCHSVSCHSVSHCSHVSHCVSHSCVH Haha, GT47 + 3.4L FTW.
