I was going ot that 425 BHP classic SBC 350 would require more than than spark timing adjustments. In general all "Otto cycle" spark ignition engines need to fire the spark in advance of TDC which is defined as 0 degrees. So the absolute timing point is negative degrees relative to TDC. In most...

The SBC 350 (Small Block Chevy) with a mild tune is usually set for Static Timing advance of 10 Degs BTDC. I think yankfan101's post is probably refering to setting the static timing advance to 22degs BTDC. Though without other mods this may be too much advance. This would be done by setting the...

I'll try. The first thing is to understanding displacement volume is to plot the Valve timingand lift graphically. The standard for this is use 0 degs the represent tdc at the beginning of power stroke. The point of maximum compression. BDC at the end of the power stroke occurs at 180 degs...

Apart from changing the basic displacement and combustion chamber volume no one has mentioned changing the cam. The effective or dynamic compression ratio determined by calculation of the piston position at IVC (Intake Valve fully closed) and deriving a ration from the actual volume displaced...

Basically it depends the super charger design as to whether they need oil or not. My Magnussen TVS2300 roots uint is sealed for life and uses some form of high pressure grease/or oil rather than since internal bearing are mounted at each end of the rotating pump rotors. By contrast a Rotrex...

A more successful solution would be to use a small Supercharger. This technique called compound charging was used during the Group B rally car era - e.g on the original Audi Quattro's in the early 80's used a supercharger and turbo in series. Is also used today on VAG TSI engines. You will need...

If this was my project I'd look at the cam numbers on the Turbo derivatives. To start plot the Cam profile as a function of crank position on a full 720 deg cycle. The US Comp Cams Website have an cam selector which will plot their cams has an basic engine simulator. This link will let you...

No Problem:). I have similar issues since my car (A VXR8) has limited suspension options on offer here so 1 have looked over the pond at what's available over there for for The US equiv (a Pontaic G8). TEIN are in the Top 4 Off the self suppliers. Engine options for 5.7L LS1 engine are Huge...

There are 25.4 mm to an inch so to convert a tyre width in mm to inches divide by 25.4. .7 or 70% is a factor to account for the laterally loaded (sideways squish) that keeps the radial's contact patch flat relative to the road. It relative to the sidewall stiffness. Car Bibles has a tyre page...

225 width tyres will can be fitted onto rims between 6 and 7.5 inches the ideal is (225*.7)/25.4 = 6.2 inchs or 6 or 6.5 inch rims. The edge of the new tyre will be 10mm closer to the inside of the wheel well and suspension components, and 10mm further out from the edge of the bodywork if keep...

Have a look at US tuning sites. There quite a few suppliers over there that offer kits for the 300C. E.G Tein's USA site lists a few options here. http://www.tein.com/price/chrysler.html

There are 2 Natural oscillation frequencies that apply to car suspension systems. One is the sprung mass frequency which defines what frequency the car body will oscillate at once set in motion. This rate determines the ride quality perception of passenger. The second is the unsprung mass...

I would agree - a far better look is to use Ultra low profile tyre's and larger wheels. Though you loose grip and reduce ride quality due the reduction in tyres springing rate, deformation. Car bras are even more hideous - I wouldn't fit one any car I own.

It depends whether you are exceeding the maximum RIM width the TYRE and wheel manufacturer recommends for the RIM. AS long you stay in within these ther is no issue. Fiiting the narrowest tyre onto a rim can reduce the tyre sideways deformation under hard cornering which helps grip. The down...

Hi Guys Thanks for the replies. After some research I think I might have found a Suitable Candidate. It seems that Renault used the The ML5T and ML6T boxes and the ES9 J4S engine in the Phase 1 Renault Clio V6 And V6 Laguna (Renault engine Code was L7X) Though they switch to Nissan V6...
