So I have been helping the owner with this project for a little while now. I have driven this car on quite a few occasions. My complements to the owner for taking things in stride and remaining systematic in developing the idea of what he wants. Looking at pictures is nice, seeing it in real if also...

At that price if it will fit in the direction you want then buy it.
Alternately, if you give Bert a project that makes sence he will not dissapoint you............make sure and put two panadol in your wallet though. Good ting not cheap!

Time for a real computer.

The cams specs (you probably already have them). These are from Miko, not measured by me. SR20VE Intake cam Low lobe: 8.4mm lift @ 220 duration Low lobe center angle: 110deg High lobe:10.7mm lift @ 264 duration High lobe center angle: 104deg Exhaust cam Low lobe: 6.6 mm lift @ 244 duration Low lobe ...

If you want low down torque and quick spool without having a fancy ECU or nitrous then the 2.0 VE cams are the better set. Becasue the low lobes are quite low duration. However, with the 2.0 VE cam you will be giving up some top end toruqe/power. With the 1.6 VE cams the bottom end will drop off a v...

No it doesnt , The VE head is the highest flowing SR head made , much large ports than the DE family , a stock VE Head will outflow a worked DE head anytime anyday. THE_FUGITIVES that is not 100% true. The VE Head (low port) does flow more than the DE/T (high port) as a bone stock casting. To say t...

THE_FUGITIVES The car looks realy good. Time for a pair of N1 Cams..........I have them new. But I eh like dah one: Who is Muddas boy. That is the CNC machined VVL inlet manifold plate supplied by CARVtech. And on the tubular, did you guys use the Laser cut stainless steel exhaust flange as well. M...

Weren't rotaries banned from Le Mans due to an "unfair weight advantage" (following Mazda's sole win back in the day)? Or was it just for the 787? That was a great win for Mazda and the Rotary Engine, but they exploited a loop hole in the rules which was closed up after the win. Mazda app...

Fellow Rig Rat Tuners: This will not stop people from speculating wildly, but I have put this together so people can get a better mental view for what is taking place in the GoM. Not intended to discuss the Spill and its impact........ More of a discussion about the Opearions. This is a view of the ...

CARVtech

Step aside from the DWH incident and the ongoing spill for a minute. Ask yourself this question? How come BP America is having so many problems in the United States, oil leaks in Alaska, exploding gas lines and deaths in Alaska, exploding refineries in Texas, blow out in the GoM and a massive ongoin...

CARVtech

i aint getting into who knows more about what, cause i dont claim to know a whole lot, but AFAIK the oil spill in trinidad was caused by two vessels colliding in a tropical storm off the coast of trinidad, not by BOP failure, so it was a controlled amount of oil that spilled) and the majority of th...

the safety and preventative measures associated with deep water drilling are the same for shallow water driller more or less cause the legislation has not been reviewed in decades, because big companies like BP have control over these boards and comities that run the safety etc.. to put into perspe...

SR there is no use in upsetting yourself, a common ground to satisfy everyone is impossible. Arguing in the hope that people suddenly become rational will never work. Concentrate on a clean slate, get a Management Group that has the best interests of the whole of motorsport as the primary objective....

http://www.flickr.com/photos/uscgd8/4551846015/ A combination of wild BS and some good general knowledge. Of the photographs I have seen of Sonar Image and ROV stills there is no way that there is a 25,000bbl flow from the DP. The photograph in the link above shows the ROV attempting to activate the...

From the Internal statement of the BP CEO, Tony Hayward: USCG have confirmed with ROV that the well is not flowing as of yesterday. Oil Slick and relevant QHSE plans continue to be in place. Internally they have appointed a head of the investigation. Situation continues to be monitored by ROV, surfa...

So how many tuners are rig-rats?
Should be a good count.

JD.......

Correct with the SST and its application.
Did you see the picture with the flare off the side on the night it took place........very suggestive to someone with no information.

I could gurantee that a stone drunk BP employee would not say a word right now.

Wiki is the greatest yes.

Search, sparks from pebbles, in Google

CARVtech

Hmmm, in my 21 years in the game I cannot recall hearing that one. During a blow out I guess it is probable that if the harder formation fragments like sands, and I have seen pebbles, impact steel work it could cause a spark. In the right conditions that spark could ignite a gas cloud that is within...

^^^crossdrilled you need to ask tfm34 that question.

I put his post in "" when I wrote my reply.

For the record, I have no pebbles on my rig right now.

In addition: If the riser is breached the discharge if from the breach area. If you have ever seen a hydrocarbon flare you would know that natural gas burns with minimal smoke. Crude Oil is black and heavy. The fire was fuelled by Crude Oil primarilly. I was not there so I cannot tell you how much g...

Quoting tfm34 "they were doing a cement job with heavy loss circulation. oil men will understand this, they lost hydrostatic and the well kicked with high gas concentrations at surface it only takes 1 little spark to ignite and even a pebble hitting iron could do it. it is one of the hazzards of th...

CARVtech

It sounds now like they had just completed cementing operations on their production casing string so they were in the reservoir section. It was supposedly exploratory so I suspect the shoe was well into or past the target zone. I can only speculate but it is very well known that post cementing is cl...

CARVtech

Reports are now stating that they were just finsihed with a cement job. They were at 18,000ft and they were drilling for Oil (kinda obvious from the black smoke in the fire). If this is in fact the case, it's a classic time for things to go wrong. If you closed your eyes and listened to what that so...
