Okay I think I have located the problem. I see where I have scraped some part of the exhaust which made it loose in the middle right before where the second cat would be. So I am thinking it may have just pulled something loose in the exhaust system. Oh and sorry I think my description is...

That's nice and all, but I don't think that is the same thing. I can drive at highway speed all day long, but it's not until I have it at WOT and full boost does it make a whiney like noise.

ECT is not a factor. I only hear it at WOT boosting at full.

Okay so I have recently noticed a weird sound that happens with full throttle on my car. I am trying to figure it out, but of course without any tech skills, makes that kinda difficult. Anyway, when I am driving at WOT and ECT on, I hear a loud noise, sounds like a blender on a low speed...

The radiator is below the boat.

I took out that damn plank board as it was the cause of too much interior noise. Anyway, I just learned that the JDM cars had rear molded carpet, so can someone post a pic of that please? If it's not too bad, I may try to buy it. -Alex

I'd keep the Supra, but I do love the RX-7s. At this point it just boils down to personal preference.

First off, welcome to Supramania from the states:) And congrats on purchasing your car. Sorry there is a lack of support there in Mexico, but hopefully we can help you out here. Just for piece of mind, I would recommend getting the right ECU to match your tranny. I don't know if that will...

Also, do the auto NA and turbo both have a ATF cooler, or just the turbo cars?

Yeah I am sure it is not very large... the stock one. If I am going to purchase an aftermarket one then I want to make sure I get one that will do a better job than I will need it for (if that makes sense). Ian, do you have the stock one available since you are running an aftermarket one now?

Hey do you know the dimensions of the stock one by chance?

Thanks bro!

Ask Christian about a local shop that will rebuild the turbo for ya:)

There are plenty of sizes to choose from, and I don't need one for strict race application as the car will remain very streetable. Here is a site that offers some of the B&M ones. What size should I go with? http://store.summitracing.com/egnsearch.asp?N=700+400004+115+4294888847 -Alex

Hey Ken, I think the main reason for the BHGs was the lack of torque from the manufacturer to the head. So I would assume, just grab up a good stock HG and you should be fine, especially considering you are running stock boost, and the only modification will be the exhaust. -Alex
