  • Tell me what you want

    It's been awhile since I posted any news, so figured it was about time. Not much has been going on with the site, besides the temporary downtime, and subsequent software upgrade. I also decided to get rid of some of the bloat and get the site back to where it used to be. A fast site full of information. And will that said, how about we get some more information going?!? It seems that my ongoing rants, raves, and pleas for users to add content is for the most part failing yet again. So I'm going to try going about this a different way...

    I want you, the users of the site, to tell me what you want. The topic with the most interest is what I will work on. I'll do all the research, and put together the article, full of pictures, graphs, or whatever it takes to fulfill the the article. Depending on how it goes, maybe I can do one a month. In a few years, perhaps will have some decent content back up on the site.

    I would like to thank robertisaar, Tbay99Venture, geldartb, and 60dgrzbelow0 for their article contributions. Didn't want you guys to think I was ignoring your contributions.

      Ok, so I am working on the exploded diagram right now. I have all of the original exploded views for reference, I have all of the old numbers erased, and I have started to get the new numbers put in. I am starting a business trip as I type this, but it is only for a seminar, so I have plenty of time to mess with this. My goal, for right now, is to get the image done, as well as the image map (click on a number to send you to a description page). For now, all of the component will be named (rollover the number and it will show the component name), and go to a default page for information not entered. From there, I will begin to build the individual pages for all of the various components. The individual pages will be in the future, though.

      Awesome. Make a copy of the map and key so we can use it for multiple engines, as well as for WOT-Tech possibly. I think it would be awesome to have an image map of an engine bay, or of all the parts we cover. Engine, computer, transmission. Obviously, this is just for after the engine stuff is done, which I am sure will take some time.

      I think this one will work for all 3x00s, and maybe more. Just need to see how in-depth each component page gets. I'd love to see descriptions, part numbers, links to troubleshooting, etc. for each component (as required, obviously).

    This is from a 07 Saturn Aura, so it might differ a bit from others. I can add whatever needs to be added to this, just let me know.

  • Gen 1 Flowsheets
    by SappySE107
    I only have the Camaro 3.1 for testing, so there are a lot of options not currently covered. The test head is here should I come across any other setups.

    28", 3.700" bore, PAP % 100cfm +5% 200cfm +1% 300cfm +1%

    Bare head vs with full intake/throttle body, and the exhaust flow with a 1 5/8 header stub.

    Might be a work in progress? Lets just get started and see where it goes. 28", 3.700" bore. PAP % 100cfm +5% 200cfm +1% 300cfm +1%

    Starting off with the bare head, using clay to bellmouth the port inlet.


    Next we will put the intake manifolds on, with the throttle body and all vac ported blocked and untested ports taped off. This shows flow distribution between all runners.



    This is the comparison sheet for the middle port using...

  • Getting an error? Please post a reply here.
    by SappySE107
    I have had some pages tell me it can't be loaded and to contact an admin. Couldn't even get to them from the admin panel. Poked around a bit, changed the order of the articles, and then the articles that wouldn't load simply weren't on the list. AWESOME! but wait, a refresh on the browser and now they all work. HA! I had just updated some of them a couple days ago so I currently have no idea what this is about, but if you have that or anything else give an error, please let me know here.

  • Using an adjustable pushrod for lifter preload
    by SappySE107
    Our engines use non adjustable rocker arms, so pushrod length is import to lifter preload, which is important for performance. Incorrect preload does change power on the dyno, or in extreme cases, the ability to run well or at all.

    There are 2 options for the adjustable pushrods, a shorter option custom made for wot-tech for use on 3100/3400/3500 LX9 engines. These measure below 5.700", which is very short for an automotive engine. The other option is a Comp pushrod that measures...

    Brad got the site up and running again and its finally responsive again! I will be spending some time creating articles based on what I used to have on the old WOT-Tech site before going to Square, as well as posting some more dyno results as we get them @ R&R Motorsports. Still working on what isn't working still, like the avatars, but most seems to be working. Any issues, please post on the forum, or respond to this article....
