    1996 1000 RWHP Twin Turbo Cobra For Sale or Trade

    Nice car! I remember talking with you about your car a few years ago. The one thing I remember most about it is the massive custom intercooler which allows you to make a lot of power on pump gas. I think I still have a picture of it somewhere.

    Thermostat Housing Leaking, Need Advice

    I have new clamps/hoses and they are all tight. The clamps are positioned properly from what I can tell. It is seeping from where the lower radiator hose clamps to the housing. I’m starting to think that the housing/neck is cracked there. It’s not leaking from where the housing bolts...

    A Few Teaser Pics of the Revised Set-up

    Well, I’ve made several changes to the set-up over the past year or so. Major changes include the installation of a ProEFI ECU, Precision BB6266 turbos, external wastegates, looser converter, larger injectors, and a new wheel/tire combo. While doing all of that, I also made some changes to the...

    Circle D Converter

    I just wanted to make a quick post regarding my Circle D converter. I bought a 4R70W trans from Darrin at BC Automotive 2 years ago. He supplied a Circle D triple disk lock-up converter with the trans. By the summer of 2012, I had everything installed and up and running. The converter seemed...

    Post Your 17" Drag Wheel Set-up Pics

    17” Drag Wheel Set-up Pics Well, I figure this might be the best place to post this. It’s about time I get serious with my wheel/tire combo. I have 18” drag radials but they just don’t cut it. So I’m thinking about going to a 17” wheel with a tall tire. This would be for the street...

    The Engine coolant radiator burp fill procedure

    Cool, thanks. I did remove some of the coolant from the tank and re-sealed it. Then I filled it from the CC plug but it did not take much at all--just a few ounces as I squeezed the upper rad. hose to help get any air out. So it may be good now. I cycled it after that yesterday with the...

    Coolant Fill Question

    Ok. I read some info on how to properly fill the coolant in my car and apparently some of it may or may not have been wrong. I replaced the radiator and here is how I filled it. I have since read this which was linked from this site and it seems to contradict some of thwat I did: Cobra &...

    The Engine coolant radiator burp fill procedure

    Ok. I have a question regarding this. I read something that described a different way to do it but after reading this, I don't think I did this correctly. I replaced the radiator so I needed to re-fill the coolant. I filled the coolant tank until the full line but did NOT replace the cap. I...

    What compression is everybody running with boosted cars. How much boost on pump gas and how much power? I was tthinkinb about a 10:1 set-up to help get some more low-end power but don't know if that's too much for 93 octane with moderate boost. I know all set-ups are different but I'm just...

    Preliminary Numbers

    Well, we got a shot of warmer air so we were able to open the shop doors and finally get some initial numbers. We made several pulls but the car was breaking up after 5800 RPM's. It turns out it was spiking rich at that point causing the engine to bog. Then the dyno wideband plug broke (I have...
