Uumm, get a tune?

But... Power button = over 9000. Surely trent knows this.

My ev14's aren't too bad. Depends how loud your exhaust is perhaps?

His location said Brisbane, is Crestmead too far? http://www.unitedpetroleum.com.au/united/find-a-store?search=brisbane&fuel=f_e85

Drom e85? Why drum? A single 044 won't be enough. Should have saved the money from buying the drum, filled at United and bought a $200 Walbro e85 pump imo.

Shell sells e85 now? Get a tune on United, then run whatever you like. Safe as houses.

What the fluck are flip flops? Get back to where you came from imposter.

It's here, but there is no way I am putting a car on the hoist in this wind, unless you dont want it anymore? You could be like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz. lol.

ID's will be fine. I have a cheap 460L e85 Walbro sitting here with your name all over it.

Will do. Although it's hard to hide a 2 ton pearl white wagon behind a tree.

Would run leaner with 1/4 tank of e85, but as long as you don't thrash it...

Yes, fine Tony.

I would love to smash a few GTR's through the spur. Show them fags. Oh, my oil pressure..... Oh no, I dropped a turbine wheel.

So mine is a GTR wagon, that count?

If you have the overhead in your fuel system, it costs nothing... Forget the flex fuel for now, just get on it...

^^ Pommy prick pretending to be a mullet eating bogan. Just because your dinosaur V8 goes backwards in power on ethanol. With some decent comp and drilling the jets on your carby I could possibly get some more powers out of your clunker Paul...

I don't need to promote ethanol anymore, I let others do that for me now.

The 2000's will idle fine. For that power don't bother with the 1000's, Unless you are willing to run 100psi fuel pressure. Just get the 2000's, they will be fine for years. The other option if you have the cash is the Moran's... http://www.injectorsonline.com/indivprod.php?cid=110

To keep it auto you would be mad not to stuff an RE4ro3a in there as they can be built to handle 1200hp. My box is an RE5ro5a and is just taking the 350awkw I am pushing through it (after many dollars have been thrown at it), although it would be putting out 400rwkw in manual rwd form.

Sounds like what a torque converter should be doing. It should unlock as you accelerate and lock again once you are cruising, allowing the engine revs to rise onto stall when you boot it. Perhaps you have a high stall converter fitted already which may make it seem worse than usual? Yes, the stock ecu mapping backs out timing between shifts.

GTSboy answered that. There is a single plate lockup clutch in the torque converter, it's job is to obviously lock up the torque converter, to make it direct drive, like a manual clutch. There are also many clutches in the gearbox for the gears, and a band (like a drum brake) to slow the car when you back off. If yours is revving right out on slip it will be the gear clutch which has worn. If it only revs out onto the stall converter speed, it will be the lockup clutch that is faulty.

Dat mod lyfe... How does it drive though?

There are 5 or 6 clutch plates for each gear, and steel plates between them. (Like a motorbike clutch pack.) The clutch plates only have 0.5mm of material on them so when they slip it doesn't take much to wear them to metal requiring a rebuild. They have in excess of 200psi oil pressure pushing the pack together when locked so there is massive heat generated if slipping occurs, more than enough to warp the metal plates between the clutches. If you get the box rebuilt they will usually toss the lot and laser cut some thinner metal plates, to allow extra clutches to be installed in each gear's clutch pack. That way it can hold more power.

I meant 4 speed or 5 speed, as I have a 5 speed here... If the clutches are slipping then the box is now in need of an expensive rebuild. You don't open an auto and not change the bearings and seals, it is usually a full build that is required and it will set you back in the region of $3k or more. You best bet of getting out of it on the cheap is to drop a replacement box in there, and shift kit it.

Mmm, not good Greg. Did trent offer any ideas on the cause? What plugs are you running? Were they fresh ones?
