EXACTLY. The auxilary shaft is just fine as long as its installed right in the first place, doesnt have the extra load of high volume or high pressure pumps, or SAE 50 weight oil.



Again, for some reason you think you know my junk. I have been running a wideband on mine for the last two seasons. It confirmed a lot of what I am/was doing as right, also exposed why some things worked like they did for me. With Tweecer, a wideband and my Innovate datalogging, I pretty much know whats going on. What would surprise everyone is knowing how close to stock my junk really is.



Indeed I have a little experience with this junk. It's my fasination, it keeps me into racing. I can assure you, a 347 would be easier, but it really  those guys off when a 2.3, 5 speed, street driven cars takes them out heads up, let alone bracket racing. I can assure you, I would have lost interest a long time ago with a windsor based engine, but thats just me.

/rant / BTW - Frank is friend of mine, and will help him any way possible, but...... I WILL NOT, nor have I, done it for him. I try and keep him on the right path, but its his deal, and I'm making him learn the way I did. It actually gets frustrating to sit back and watch him learn (and make mistakes) but I can assure you, if I'm not around any more, he will know how to make his junk run too. I geuss I dont want everyone to think Franks stuff is my doing. /end rant/



You are correct. I have only ever run T3's, sometimes there might be an IHI on there when I'm in between JY turbo's. As Mike likes to point out, I've fragged quite a few of them, but all of them where junk yard parts with unknown history. Hell, i've put them on, and broke them within an hour trying to set the boost :D Since i bought a rebuild with 360 bearing and good parts, its been bulletproof.

Bob, We're talking about your TC, which never ran a WB to your own claim. The Capri is not in this conversation *sigh*.

Frank was talking about my old TC and current Capri combo. Both cars where (TC) and are (Capri) daily drivers, ......... Anyone that has seen my cars at the track knows I drive them like rental cars, Neither ever left me stuck aywhere on the street, and I would (and have) driven either of them anywhere.

I can assure you, I've got nothing to prove to anyone.

I thought the conversation was about the 2.3 turbo.

dayum 19 pages of this stuff???
And guys complain that women have drama! :rollin:

your calling a technical thread about two different engines drama? So what's your experience on either of these engines.... good or bad?

There are 19 pages of the same thing being said over and over again..... drama.

Now, RJ don't be hatin'!

yeah that the 2.3 sucks...

I aint hating...  its a fact..

Well, the compressor side of the turbo sucks. That's how they work. The air has to come from somewhere. Sheesh.
