Direct injection anyone? :idea: Believe he mentioned it too. :) Certain requirements are implied by "Direct injection" are they not? (Hint...think "Rudolph Diesel".) The 100psi or so you MIGHT get from a centrifical pump wouldn't cut it with typical cylinder cranking pressures...now would it master...

I really wouldn't recommend putting that kind of pressure on a petroleum based fuel. It's likely that the compression could cause spontaneous combustion. Sometimes in gasoline engines if the spark plug doesn't fire, the compression cycle alone can cause detonation. That kind of pressure and above i...

ever consider a water pump? with some reverse engineering... This might work for you. They are dirtttt cheap too.

I would suggest the power steering pump to be honest with you. I have done a few steering repairs and the parts are pretty simple. The power steering fluid is just hydrolic fluid. Even if you weren't going to use the fluid I am sure the pump would hold up. I saw one on a honda civic that had been r...

Well, for my science fair project, I realized that I will end up needing some rather high pressure fluids. Specifically water and gasoline. Fuel Injector pumps are f*cking inexpensive, and I don't quite need 29,000 PSI. Does anyone know of an available, inexpensive type of pump that would be able t...

I am hoping for a butane iron myself, It's such a pain working on the wiring in a car with a cord tangling around.

Damn, seems like a Russian girl is this years answer to the Zhu Zhu pet!

We could give you a lot better advice if you included a picture/model number so we could have something to go off of. I would hate for you to mess it up with some general information that doesn't even pertain to what you have.

One that plugs into a wall? I don't think I am familiar with those. With the battery operated ones you just take out the momentary switch you hold when you want it to "shock."I would suggest sealing off the hole with something, if you have some extra plastic, superglue it on there. Run two wires to ...

Ohh a Dremel is a must have!

I haven't been too good this year so I am barely expecting a lump of coal. Some new tools would be pretty nice though!

Please stay on topic. This thread is about cars.

Sorry, since JRRDW thought it was an irrelevant topic, he decided to lock it. In defiance of his authority and recognizance of my first amendment rights as an American, I would like to continue this discussion before it was so rudely interrupted.

That being said, who all here likes cars!

If you are going copper you are going to have to solder eventually. It's like using PVC without primer and cement.

Since I am asking the question, it is sort of obvious I do. I am going to school to be a mechanic right now. Anyone else like bustin' knuckles or just straight up pedal to the metal?
