[Computerman]

[MAZTUNE]

B6T power!!! yea boy ghostbusters i have lower temp 180F thermostats in stock for the B6/BP but i it would work on the FS. $200.00

[FullStop]

MAZTUNE, will check you when i decide to go ahead and change it, i change out coolant and stuff today, so i waiting to see how things work out, thermostat opening and stuff, I checked it., i now see Computerman dyno sheet and remember mine, what allyuh think? am i running too rich on the upper rpms?

[nareshseep]

damn ah miss dyno day again,,,

[FullStop]

na, from the last one, i see Computerman also running in the 10's, in terms of afr...

[A172]

for safety's sake that afr good.....if thaz like small boost 6-7psi n ting it could lean out to about 11.1, 11.2...you'd be better off fiddlin' up wid timing doh

[wagonrunner]

Fellas for d longest while I havin a problem finding a rear engine mount . I have a b5 dohc engine and I feel like I goin to be turning over rocks soon to find this thing. If allyuh could help me out I'll really appreciate it.

if yuh cant locate the OEM, sasco.
would recommend you don't make it solid though.

B5 Dohc and B6 dohc doh use the same engine mount?

whats the issues with the solid mounts?

[wagonrunner]

solid mount = less room for movement = more engine vibration passed to chassis.
OEM mounts have spaces to allow some of those vibrations to dissipate.
I prefer to not feel the car vibrating when idling, hence i don't recommend solid.

ok cool it's a matter of personal perference...thought it had some hidden danger

[wagonrunner]

heh heh heh.
i wont bother having the side effects of a "performance set-up", without the performance.

^^^all about your philosophy...i have no power so i run with better to drive a slow car fast than a fast car slow...the solid mounts give better responsiveness along with the shaking ...

wow nice meet!...everybody car in dere lookin really awesome

[wagonrunner]

^^^all about your philosophy...i have no power so i run with better to drive a slow car fast than a fast car slow...the solid mounts give better responsiveness along with the shaking ...

can that responsiveness be quantified? or is that the "feeling"?
because in my limited experience, with a (relative term being slow) car, that difference is nil.
so what'll it come down to is how slow is slow?

yes...no wonder we see this sh1t happening on the highways daily

[FullStop]

yet another insecure slow car owner

i simply pointed out that idiots driving slow cars "fast" on the highway is the reason so much sh1t takes place there so often, my apologies if i interpreted your post wrong....

no need to conjure up the played out corners defense(which btw, I think is copyrighted by TS owners) to falsely comfort yourself about your vehicle's severe lack of power and corresponding fun factor

different strokes for different folks meng...ez.

Wagon runner where you dig up this from? that was ancient history.why you picking at scabs for? FYI I did go with solid mounts....For a while anyway. Yes it did vibrate but only whilst idling...At the time I couldn't find the mounts so I had no choice. B5 engines not common like dog sh!t (nissan engines) you know But as I said before...ancient history...I have since sold that car

115 at the wheels, i dont think the lack too severe, i think that pretty decent for a NA car.Hoss, we know ur car heavy like a box of cornflakes and you running some serious toyota power no need to run up in the forums and look for opportunities to shoot down men, if you learn somn along the way feel free to share, otherwise waz the point?
