Name: rpslaughter1982 ECU: AEM Trans: Manual Turbo: PHR street Mapped By: Matt AFR Rating: 10/10 Result: 450bhp 1.2bar

I seem to have lost my dipstick! Does any one know the length and specs of the standard dipstick? Also does any one in Sussex have a spare?! many thanks for any help

PM'd for heater/ac control

bump

offers?

Blitz induction kit as seen. Cost is without postage which will be around £10.

that will be later

i thought i was cool till i watched this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pHLtSw0XGrE

should be fixed

As the title. I have a long list of house hold jobs to do.....but this is what I've been doing all day http://video.google.co.uk/videoplay?docid=-5064354916429310690&pr=goog-sl

PHR might be able to get you one

I have a Blitz SBC dual solenoid boost controller going for £60

I just want to run an idea past AEM users: If you had some dodgey connectors on your injectors and infrequently the signal didn't get to the injector, then it wouldn't open and the cyclinder would get less/ no fuel. This would show the afr's to go lean for a bit. To test the problem, if you ran a log on the aem with the injector pulse widths, would it show an injector not opening? Does the log get the pulse width from what signal the aem is sending the injectors or does it actualy measure how long the injectors are open by the electrical circuit itself? I guess the plugs might tell a story but just wondering if i could log the injector parameters as a process of elimination. many thanks for any help

I've sent off the reply today so I'll update when I get a reply. It's anoying if someone has cloned my plates, I'd really like to catch them!

I just checked my garage and and facebook page, both had my car with it's reg. schoolboy error. the pics have been removed now and I'm obviously disputing the ticket. Hopefully they'll send me a pic of the *$*ker and I'll post it up!

Just got a parking ticket for my supe and it definately wasn't me. I live down south and apparently my car was parked in Marlow Road London during restricted hours incurring a fine of £100! The ticket just lists the number plate but all owners on here please be carefull if you have any pics of your car with the plate on it!

shouldn't really make a difference. Some point it the other way to route the pipe work to a single turbo intake or a catch can. should be fine to turn around again

A question for single owners. When converting to a single and getting rid of vsv etc you end up with various ports free from the inlet manifold. How do people block these ports? I have just put a hose on them with a screw zipped in as a bung but I don't really like the idea.

Are you saying something is dangerous here? Or am I just being dumb?

TBH Your best bet would be to buy an aerotop. You can get them quite cheap now and if you transfered the bits you want off your current car on to it and vice versa you could sell your hard top to ease the financial pain

quote "Plane is sat on the treadmill thingy, engines off. Treadmill starts up - the plane will start moving backwards with it, right? I think we can all agree on that. " not necessarily true, this is all down to the friction of the wheel and the hub. In previous examples when people say that they are holding the plane/cyclist/ matchbox car still on the treadmill they would only be exerting a force on the object equal to the friction forces of the object on the belt. If a brick is on the treadmill then it would move at the same speed as the belt. A tennis ball would spin and move along at a lower speed than the brick If you had a rug with a ball on it and pulled it slowly the ball would move with the rug as the friction force holding the ball would stop it moving, if you pulled the rug fast the ball would spin back and not move as fast

very true. (although I just thought of the example of a car wheel spinning, the wheels could be doing any speed but without the friction it will not be transfered into forward motion)

Sorry I was talking about ground speed in relation to the speed of the belt not what the belt is on. The speed of the belt is irrelevant to the take off, if there was zero friction in the hubs of the plane wheels then the plane would not move even if it was not creating thrust. Same is if you had zero friction on your feet you would not move on the ‘travelator’.

The ground speed wouldn't be zero unless the belt was travelling in the same direction as the plane. The ground speed would be greater but this wouldn't effect the plane taking off. most planes try to take off into wind on land or sea as it increases the air speed which is what effects take off speed. If a plane flies into a 70 mph head wind it's air speed may be 150mph but the ground speed would be 80 mph. Likewise with a tail wind of 30 mph you may have an air speed of 180 mph and a ground speed of 210mph.

also take off speeds vary greatly depending on various factors such as the weight, shape, wings span/area etc.. A paper plane takes off at a far lesser speed than a eurofighter
