So you went with the 235/75r15? Good size tire not so good off road though. We sell those tires and get people coming back saying that they are horrible offroad. Just a side note
Thats also people with mild lifts on Rangers,S10s and S15s.
Can't wait to see how it looks all put together though
I have a hard on for the final outcome
You sir, apparently forgot my high school days as a pothead.
Easy solution - Plumb a duct from the intake on the leaf blower to an ice chest with a hole in the top of the side of it. Cut your mom's screen out of her screen door and staple it to the inside of the cooler. (This will prevent anything that can cause major damage from being sucked into your "supercharger". Inside the cooler, fill completely with crushed ice. Remove drain cap on bottom of cooler and plumb with hose through one of those nifty pre-installed "drain holes". Put a hole in the other side of the cooler to let ambient air come in.
Its the same concept as doing Ice-Knifers (not that I've ever done such a thing) just on a larger scale, the engine being your lungs essentially. Hoodrat water 2 air as easy as 1-2-3.

Yeah, any "all terrain" tread is going to be a compromise. I wanted something relatively tame, yet with a blocky look. These had the added benefit of being cheap.
I didn't want a pure mud tire, too noisy on the asphalt.

Sounds just like the rigs desert racers plumb into their helmets for breathing air.
I've got an AEM water injection kit that was used with great results (100+ degrees reduction in intake temps) on the RWD Wagon. If you wanna go this route, you can have it for a good deal.
Wow.... I hope too see more soon. That is an amazing accomplishment.
I would love to see a video of it in action! If there is please message me with the link.

I wanna know more too!!!
I had water injection on my 1978 454 Suburban.. No longer have.. Always, wanted to know how it was on a honda..
I was running an M62 blower on my D16A6/Z6 built engine. I was seeing 12 psi by 2,000 rpm, 20 psi by 3,000, and it was at 23 psi at 7,000 (peak power), 26 psi at 9,000. All that means is the air was getting crazy hot, because the blower was working really really hard to force that air into the intake manifold/combustion chamber.
The temps without the water injection were hitting 255 plus degrees (the Honda IAT sensor maxes out at 255, and I have no reason to believe that the temps stopped there exactly). When I pushed the biggest nozzle on the water injection, the temps maxed out at about 135-140 degrees at autocross, and if I went nuts on the road, they'd get to about 155-160 max.

I'm not ignoring you Went on a couple-day reading spree, researching water injection how-and-whys.

Water injection is good and it will also protect you from fuel ping while running good old 87 instead of those expensive fuels. My Honda was made for cheap gas
I think today I'll work on fabbing the dropped mount for the viscous coupler...
I never got around to it that day. When changing Anne's wheels I found a split axle boot, so I changed the axle and the transmission oil before installing her new head unit.
Anyway, finally started roughing out the bracket tonight
I can't quite figure out why the midshaft bearings were mounted at an angle like this, I'm just gonna roll with it.
I'm not sure that this is the way to go, something isn't quite kosher about it. Time will tell...

and they won't be quite this far out- maybe 3/4" less
The cool thing is that they're P-metric,(not LT) and have a 2-ply polyester sidewall
light and flexible 8)
...also must have 7 inches of lift and custom rims to clear the suspension :P
Negative ghost rider. Imma do it on my current lift. Cut grind weld repeat.

From what I understand its going to be a 68cc 2 Stroke leaf blower forcing air into the intake, ustilizing a rising rate.
(Yeah, he's going to put a JRSC on it, its in the first couple pages I think).
And Bam - those Flexi Flares are a Brilliant Idea and should work perfectly!

I've been thinking about water/alcohol injection
edit: I found your build thread, read it and watched the video. Awesome! I want one.
Wish I had the welding skills for that
I think bam the alcohol is supposed to be for the motor, not the driver.
No real progress this week, just trying to make it through the Christmas grind. (Bah! Humbug!)
I did a little massaging for tire clearance, but am waiting for the wheel delivery before I get real serious on that front.

in a nutshell? Water injection is good.
