    eBay T4 manifolds (7MGTE)

    It looks like I'll need to buy one of these very soon for my new turbo setup. I see that there are 104 of them currently on eBay between $100 and $200, and Driftmotion sells one for $200. What are the differences? Are they all 304 stainless? Or are some 321? All 3mm thick wall? Are these current...

    Side mount camera view. Burnout, etc.

    I picked up a suction cup camera mount from ChaseCam, and tried it out today. My camera is an old school canon Elph and runs out of memory after just a few minutes so it got cut off near the end. The door makes for a nice mirror, and you can see Duane and a couple of buddies as I smoke by. :)...

    Hiccups

    I have not had a single case of hiccups for over ten years straight now, because of a technique I learned to stop them. I figured some of you might find it works for you as well. As soon as I notice a single hiccup, I immediately breathe in as much air as I can, and hold my breath for as long as...

    The debate of electric vs mechanical engine fans

    I asked my friend who is an electronics teacher what he had to say about electric fans vs mechanical, since many debate that no power is gained due to the extra load the fans place on the alternator. He replied: "In my (never humble) opinion at mid to higher RPM's electric is more efficient...

    Updated: Pics on post #28. Billet turbo with SP Quick spool valve.

    Some cool new turbo innovations have recently become available, and I am just about to buy a new turbo kit. I currently have a stock 3.0L 7MGTE with BPU mods supporting up to 500+ hp, but currently making 393rwhp on a basic upgraded CT26 turbo. The car is street-driven 99% of the time, and...

    Speech recognition software (DNS 10)

    I've been playing with and trying out this new software. With a good quality mic and sound card, it's actually pretty darn accurate. In fact this entire post was created by simply speaking into my microphone. Quite the novelty. Enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3DhnpLIKCQ

    What cam/valve combos make the 7M an interference engine?

    Just wondering what camshaft and oversize valve combinations make the 7M an interference engine? If choosing parts, I'd rather keep it non-interference for safety.

    Hidden hood latches for carbon hoods?

    I'm trying to think of a way to secure the front corners of my carbon fiber hood from underneath, instead of using hood pins. There is lots of room since I relocated the battery and the hood has a strong fiberglass frame that I can drill/bolt onto. I'm using the stock hood latch now, but I need...

    Extended tip compressors

    I saw this on the Comp Turbo website, but it says nothing of the benefits of this design?

    Nitro Booster?

    Anyone heard about this product? Designed to add into water/meth injection kits. Supposedly adds liquid nitromethane, offering more fuel and oxygen. Is this possible? http://www.snowperformance.net/product.php?pk=5

    Bolt-on Boss bb turbo vs GT35R?

    Just wondering about the performance differences between a bolt-on turbo like the Boss/Comp 61mm turbos and a full T4 setup with a GT35R? I know a T4 manifold and external wastegate will have better flow and boost control, and probably have a better powerband, but how much of a difference is it...

    Differential whine. Backlash or wear problem?

    This is on my daily/beater '84 Mk2 Supra: A few years ago, my pinion bearing started howling, so I cheaped out and bought a used diff. It had OK bearings, but made a lot of gear noise at all speeds. After 3 years I got tired of the noise and bought another used diff that seemed in better...

    Help finding an electrical leak

    Since I bought my car, it will have a dead battery after sitting for a week. I've since swapped the red-top battery to an Optima yellow-top, changed the alarm, stereo, amps, and a few gauges with no change in the problem. The battery seems to charge fine when driving, I have an aftermarket...
