    What doe you guys/ gals think of this Wideband O2 kit? Looks nice!

    I mean the tax that Uncle Sam might hit you with when it enters the country and it has "$US500" written on the Customs slip. I don't know what sort of tax rate you'd get hit with? I know entering Australia I've been stung with anywhere between 10% and 45%. Anyone know?? Of course, when the Free...

    Oh damn I wish I had seen this thread earlier... if anyone wants one, and it is cheaper to ship to me locally in Australia and have me ship it to you as "a gift" so you don't get taxed, I'm at your service! Just say the word :-)

    Roe Racing Supercharger Intercooler Pic....

    Thanks Sean! As it turns out, Kenne Bell list themselves as the US distributor of Autorotors, but only sell them in kits.

    TT Vs. SC (What are the real world differences?)

    2500? That high? But being a screw it makes "almost full boost" off idle, right?

    Roe Racing Supercharger Intercooler Pic....

    My bad, my memory is screwed. Yes, the Kenne Bell chargers are Autorotors. I might contact them and see if they sell the units by themselves.

    Roe Racing Supercharger Intercooler Pic....

    From Kenne Bell's part numbers, I believe they are Lysholms. I'm not sure if the companies are related? I think Autorotor might own all or part of Lysholm.. not sure. Or maybe Opcon is the parent company and owns both? Who knows.. I am not after a kit. All I want is the supercharger. There is...

    Roe Racing Supercharger Intercooler Pic....

    Sean, just wondering if you can give me some advice.. I want to use a twin screw on my Lexus SC400. I am in Australia, but am willing to buy from the US. I can't seem to find anywhere that sells the Opcon/Autorotor, or even any detailed info on their product line. The only options I have so far...

    Sean, the picture is still there, just needs a simple change to the URL... I can post it unless you'd prefer I didn't?

    It was stupid and it felt good to be a jerk tonight!

    AWESOME.

    Paxton Automotive: Road to Destruction

    Selling it as a DIY install, they should ensure it runs well rich if not tuned professionally. There is no excuse for selling a product that without professional tuning will damage an engine, and saying you do not need the professional tuning. That is a recipe for disaster. I believe many here...

    NEW VIPER COUPE

    Front shot of Archer's car... right click -> save as windows background. Shot of SRT Coupe... right click -> print as toilet paper. No added power?! What? The C6 Z06 will probably be faster :(

    Can you tell us what happened to your motor too? Burnt pistons?

    SRT-10 Coupe - new angle

    Looks a lot better, but I can still see some of the "angular front, curvy back" problem. Just a lot less because the back isn't visible, only the roof.

    THE BOOST ONLY WORLD RECORD IS MINE!

    Whoa! I didn't know a stock Z06 could do that?!

    IMO, this is what the new coupe should have looked like...

    Better, but looks a bit like a C6. Add the Comp Coupe wing and you've got it. Something needs to be done to make the front a little meaner looking too.

    NEW VIPER COUPE

    Looks like they have listened to people saying "We want a coupe" and "The curves were cool". Then they have decided the solution is that thing - a SRT10 front end with a GTS back end. WTF is that thing? For starters, it would look a lot better without the huge ground clearance! What was so...

    Would it be OK to post the photos here? Or would that be a violation of the phone owner's copyright on the pics? If it's OK I'll host and post?

    Nitrogen at Costco for your tires

    luc, I don't get it, but if you say that's what you've seen, there must be some reason I have overlooked or don't know about. The only thing I have so far, is if the amount of gas and size of container is held constant, taking a gas from 90F @ 25psi to 200F will raise the pressure to 33psi...

    Nitrogen at Costco for your tires

    Do you have any numbers on the temp of the gas inside the tire when it is warmed? If so, we can see how true these claims are.

    Nitrogen at Costco for your tires

    Also, your numbers are off for the example you gave. 0f (255.37 K), 80psi (above ambient): PV=nRT (80+14.7)V = nR(255.37) reduce these to get a constant of 2.6966. 100f (310.93 K), same volume: (P)2.6966 = (310.93) P = 115.3 - 14.7 = 100.6 psi above ambient.

    Nitrogen at Costco for your tires

    So really it's more that your race tyres are water free? How do you get them on without some water to slip them over the rim?

    Nitrogen at Costco for your tires

    That's not quite true. Atmospheric pressure is about 14.7psi above vac, 22psi in your tyres is 14.7+22 = 36.7. This will be about 91.2% nitrogen, as opposed to all normal air, which is about 78% nitrogen. I still don't see how "pure nitrogen" can have that large a difference in thermal...
