The funny thing about engine power is that you can't make it everywhere. Any piston engine built to develop maximum power "well above" 5000 rpm is not going to perform worth beans at 2500 rpm and bel

Hi Bob, Good to know someone is reading my rants ;). Like you say, most of the current high-RPM engines use some kind of variable intake tuning to broaden the performance (I won't call it torque or p

The Mitsubishi is a 3700 lb car, right? So putting that powerplant in a 2600 lb Tiger is bound to have some beneficial effect, especially at lower speeds where you don't get nailed by the aerodynamic

OK, a FAQ sounds like a good idea. I guess the first thing would be to decide what topics to cover. Here's my stab at a list: 1. A list of links. 2. Cooling - include popular radiator cores, rad shop

Hi Jim, You could try silicone (RTV sealant), but that might take a long time to dry (a few hours) since it has to evaporate the acetic acid. Also, the removability is questionable, but probably bett

I think the heat shield is a good idea, but the insulation is a bad idea. The last thing you want is for a leak to soak a whole bunch of gas into the insulation, and _then_ have it set on fire by the

Sounds like your instrument voltage regulator is toast. If it starts putting out full voltage (about 14 or so) instead of 10 volts, your temp (and gas) indication will simultaneously rise by about 40

A good rule of thumb on tantalum caps is 5x the working voltage. So, at least 60 V rating, and preferably more, since you're dumping all of the solenoid's current into it. I haven't looked into the p

One thing that you can do to provide an automatic shutoff is to wire an oil pressure switch so that it turns off the fuel pump when there is no oil pressure. Even an injected engine will run for a fe
