Hey man, If you haven't bought that turbo (or a turbo) yet, I might have something that you might be interested in.... Basically the same thing but cheaper and its ball bearing, however without a warrenty and a .96 housing (like 87ttsupra)...

with a bit of inginuity, you could use a standard garrett T3 style WG that turbonetics and many others sell. It just requiers a bit of fab to make a bracket for it....

Strut tower braces do help, just not nearly as noticable as a Macpherson strut type of suspension... Poodles nailed it on the head about you wanting camber gain cause of handling. The uper and low arms on our cars and pretty far from being equal in length. As the chassis rolls from cornering...

Adding the bracing that I was talking about wouldn't take up much room at all. Unless you have drastically large ballasts, mounting them shouldn't take up much room. Another option to mounting the ballasts is under the flush mount assemblies.... As for being enough, it might do the job but Im...

If you have a Scope (or access to one), you could do a simple test using a timing light to monitor timing, a scope to monitor voltage and frequency and a small wrench to create the knock / trigger the sensor. Its not perfect but will get you pretty close to finding out the info you want. With...

So are you still going to do them the same as the previous one? I had a different idea over the blistered cover like I mentioned before but its hard to explain and I dont have photoshop so its hard for me to fo a picture of what Im thinking about. (im sure though many wont like it but...

106*F intake temps were the highest for the Treadstone core which was the CV1859. That core is a 9" tall vertical flow. There sperco unit was identical in size and peaked the 105*F.... As for Heat soak, it wasn't really a problem, atleast not after 6 pulls and they were all 60mph to 100mph...

Yes, the Treadstone core are well designed. I have used a few of there bare cores with custom built endtakes with great sucess..... Very low pressure drop and very efficient. I was werry about them at first, but after using several, I will continue to use them especially cause I haven't been...

yeah, if your getting vacuum from the top port then as Ian said, you have popped the diaphram. You can get new diaphrams (much cheaper then buying a whole new wastegate)....

different treadstone cores flow different directions, it depends on which one your talking about...

True and false at the same time. Yes, you do get more mechanical leverage, but at the same time, most BBK's actually have less Piston area calipers then the stock calipers they are replacing and thus less clamping force and therefor a higher mechanical leverage need to equal out.... You could...

While we are on the subject of these rack spacers, can someone verify this, Does the inner tie rod sockets act as the steering rack stops??? I was under the impression that the stop is part of the Rack gear and housing which if this is the case, I dont see how you can gain any extra travel...

Yeah, the top port is only for if you have a feedback style boost controler other then that, Like tissimo said, leave the top port open and run the control vac. line to the lower port.

I've personally built 3 different 302 where where dyno'd at over 400hp (broke in on an engine dyno) with one touching 468hp and non of them were FI or had NO2 (only baby's are bottle fed). Remember the displacement factor, they have about 70% more displacement then a 7m. It will take...

You can get the bellhousing from Champion Toyota in Texas. Contact Jeff Watson. People have gotton them in the past from him and Im pretty sure he can get you one too.

One more reason why I would (am) going with a T5 and rebuild with a high nickle gear set....

As for the Trans, yes a TKO would be a better choice, but if you have the ability to tear down and rebuild a T5 (which is pretty easy) then it would be cheaper to go that route and buy a High Nickle Gear set from one of the several places that supply them.

I personally dont think you could come close to a 50/50 balance with a 302 unless you were to get a DART or World Products aluminum block and build from there, but that wouldn't be cost effective. My sugestion is either a chevy LS_ (whichever you want) or the Toyota / Lexus 1UZ. Both of...

yes, the SRS is the airbag system. The center sensor / Modual assembly is under the console store bin. The Climate control unit is thick enough that it interfers with the modual assembly...

It does shift into 5th fine???? 5th and reverse are on the same slider hub and usually if there is a problem with one, there will be issues with the other. Have your tried puting it into a different gear like 3rd or 5th then pulling straight into reverse?? As stated above, reverse does not...
