sorry, though you said you had bracing... Anyhow, I wouldn't be surprised to find the targa has more flex even with the roof on. sure it's bolted on, but it still isn't likely near as resistant to flex as not having a gaping hole in the first place regardless of adding extra steel to the...

likely placebo effect...you got something rumoured to help so you fell it had to help, so your mind says something happened. Reality is, it triangulates nothing that flexes, and our front suspension does not rely on the strut towers to maintain geometry. If something did get improved by adding...

Paraphrasing Pulp Fiction: the 040 is the one that has BMF written on the side...the 040 does not have the peak no load flow of a walboro (how they are rated for advertising), but makes up for it under pressure. With increasing fuel pressure, the walboro doesn't hold a candle to this unit. A...

also does not leach the VOC's so you don't smell gas all the time in the garage.

yup. purchase by the coil, straighten it out, bend with a tube bender to match the factory lines and install. You need to enlarge the channels in each of the clips if you go larger, but outside of that, it's pretty simple.

Lousy pic from as far back as the garage wall and wide angle allowed. With the ABflug vent put in during fitment. I haven't had a chance to finish anything on the car this year (funny how buying a house does that), and I may have to take it all apart again as I have a real duct on the way to...

No, I'm saying if the lag is too much for the turbo you have, you have 2 real choices get a smaller housing, or get a bigger engine. If you've tuned it properly, and are still unhappy with the lag, all the monkeying with the existing formula is nothing more than a bandaid.

put them on the bigger motor they belong on...

They are the reason for all the extra heat...top or bottom mount, the airflow is roughly the same on that side. It's only a couple of inches different height. If you wanted to get picky about the heat, remember that heat rises. You could argue a top mount is like putting a pot on the stove...

read the 3rd last and last paragraphs of the first article joe put up...if in theory there was a twin turbo arrangement that had identical characteristics to a large single, the twins get to target faster, at the expense of the top end. Of course, in the real world there are no perfect...

I used the -6 aluminium lines front to back. To avoid the flare tool, there are these fittings that I used to connect the aluminium to the short sections of flexible pushlok hose to connect to the external pump and filters, as well as the rail and the regulator...

yep, they were based in Toronto, and yes, it is by far the sweetest sounding exhaust I had heard. Also had IMO the perfect dual tips and looks. You could go sleeper black with stainless tips, or full polished bling on request. They went bankrupt about 3 years ago now, and nobody I know that has...

I saw the first pic, and expected the second to be the forks stuck through the taillights. Good job moving it without disaster!

yep. About $10 in home depot parts. Visit the plumbing asile, pick up a short length of some 3 inch PVC and some caps + the PVC glue. Pick up some brass double barb fittings in the size you want, and a foot of clear PVC hose in the barb size. Get some plastic scrub pads (like for washing pots)...

because it's horribly inconvenient to do it the factory way without a hoist or a very low profile jack. The subframe mounting points and the front jack points are among the strongest, most stable, and easiest points to hold it up. I usually jack the nose first using the x-member, and place...

Again, the longest running supra meet in North America rolls in just a couple of weeks. August 17-20. For all the details, please see our forum meet pages at http://www.torontosupraclub.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=XForum&file=index&gid=39 Hope to see you all there!

I've looked at the perrin several times and didn't like how high up the guages would sit. Yours looks to tuck them in the corners of the column where they drop away from the top down to the stalks. I would love to see the in car view when you have a mock up. 60mm would be my vote (eboost2 has to...

in 10 years I haven't got rid of it and almost everything has been replaced at least once. I jokingly tell people who ask that it's a hardcore lumpy cam. Every 7M I've seen seems to do it on stock electronics. A couple of standalone users I know don't have it anymore, and even there a couple...

why cut? fab a couple of legs for it to sit in. A "[" shaped bracket for the rad to sit in with a dowel welded on them to go in the rubber plugs. Shouldn't take more than 15 or 20 minutes to make.

Looks like about 15 minutes with a bench vice, a drill and some flat aluminium stock...hardly seems a hassle for someone needing an upgrade radiator on a tight budget. If you wanted to get really fancy, add some of the stick on silicone beads/bumpers they have in the furniture asile at the...
