few questions

Hey guys !!

I just got my car back from the shop getting my single turbo convertion done and got a few questions to ask

how much gas do you need to have in order for you to punch it ?? does ti always have to be full tank and not less than 1/2 ??

how is your idling ( i have race port ) in the morning when you start off your car ?? does it shut off constantly unless you keep your foot on the pedal ??

I saw a puddle of oil underneat the car ( i didn't even punch it or anything _ ..is this due to an catch tank ?? i haven't upgraded my catch tank

These are just some of the stuffs i have ??? about

Thanks

Personally I don't really allow my car to get lower than 1/2 a tank just to play it safe. There will be mixed feelings on the fuel level question, but I'd rather be safe than sorry.
I can't answer your question about the race port and your idle since I strictly have a large street port, but mine's a bit lumpy at start up.
As for the oil it could be a number of things. I recently had an oil leak but I believe mine stemmed from a small leak around the oil pan. It's really something you have to get underneath the car for and see the origin.

thanks man..but i got another question

I have a rattling noise coming from my car when it's not in the gear and have hard time putting in the 1st and reverse sometimes. I thought it was maybe cuz my pilot bearing was bad. Is it possible that it's due to me not having a tourque brace ?? Because after i warm up the car and drive it for a while, i don't have any problem with shifting gears but I still do hear the rattle noise

Thanks

I don't think it's the fact that you're lacking a torque brace. A torque brace is something that is supposed to help you under load and while shifting, but if you're not in gear starting from a stop and you can't put it in a gear I'd go with the pilot bearing but that's a guess.
