Re: Ben's Oceanic 4kqt - No Aliens, still having fun!

I have had them for several years, I know Hank is talking about revising the design. Fortunately, repair was performed under parts warranty and the weld was improved. :)

A51 raid I missed that lol ... You guys make those 5 cyl’s any faster down there in Vegas and Area 51 will be raiding YOU for your technology .

What about a tablet setup? for my URQ I’ve been thinking about getting a tablet that’s compatible with VEMS that I could just clip in ... that way my car ...

I love it. All of it. Car is really on a whole new level now. Interested to see how the new AWIC set up performs.

Can't remember, are you using w/m injection?

Thanks guys! The car is just on E85. So far the updated AWIC is running strong. I was out in 100+ degree weather and never saw over 50c ...

Awesome read Sam! Glad to see you FINALLY posted about BBQ! I was sad that Oceanic was not prepped and ready for the event. The previous event you attended when both Wiley and I was there was a complete blast. That drive I will remember for a VERY long time. Also, congrats on the new PNW gig for the ...

Re: 1983 URQ Alpine White/Mocha 20VT / VEMS / EFR

I hate dealing with trigger errors! I run the Audi trigger with VEMS in my 4k. I used to have severe issues with it at times and ultimately didn't get them fixed until I purchased a harness from EFI express along with switching out of the NGK to Bosch plugs. Before, I ran the NGKs with a modified ...

Re: Jim Green's 90q 20vt - 636whp 07k

This would lead to hot spots in the head when I would hit boost and the pump wasn't flowing, or flowing enough and flash boil the coolant. Jeff Gerner had to ...
