| How to: Change O2 sensors on a C4 Corvette (1994 ODBII ) - Tuesday, May 31, 2011 |
| How to change C4 Corvette Brake Rotors and Pads on a 1994 Corvette - Tuesday, May 31, 2011If you enjoy using a hammer and working up a sweat, you can do your own C4 brakes. Instead, I took mine to a local shop, where the Pros took 2+ hours to change them. The major problem is getting the new pads to slide up in.
If you're going to change your pads, I also suggest getting the most agressive pads you can find for street use. I recently bought a set of Hawk agressive street pads, and the brakes are no more agressive than the standard GM parts. Oh well.

| C4 TPI Upgrades - Wednesday, April 29, 2009 |
| What is the difference between TPI, SFI, MPFI, TBI, and CPI injection? - Wednesday, April 29, 2009TPI (Tuned Port Injection) is a "batch" fire system (from the factory) which means that both banks of injectors will fire all at the same time.
SFI (Sequential Fuel Injection) is sequential in that only the injector that needs to fire does so.
Both TPI and SFI have injectors located in every runner of the intake manifold.
MPFI (Muti-Port Fuel Injection) has one injector per cylinder for more power and precise amounts of air and fuel delivered directly to each cylinder via fuel rails. However, there are more parts to wear or break.
TBI (Throttle Body Injection) has two injectors placed over the throttle body (carb bowl type unit) indirectly injecting through the intake manifold. This result in less power and imprecise amounts of air and fuel delivered to the cylinders, but there are less parts to wear or break.
CPI (Central Point Injection) is a hybrid of MPFI and TBI in that there are two injectors placed over throttle body sending more precise amount of air and fuel to the cylinders through a direct injection via a plastic tube and poppit valve at each cylinder. There are less parts to wear or break this way. |
