    New JDM engine getting no fuel

    I just finished installing a new engine and transmission but the engine only seems to get enough fuel to get one piston going. The fuel pump doesn't seem to be cutting on (or making any sound) and the fuel lines don't seem to have pressure. The unusual thing is that before the swap, the fuel...

    Are turbo headers worth it?

    Anyone tried using a turbo header on their 7mgte? I see they sell the cheap ones on ebay for under $200 and they claim 15hp gains. Is that accurate? Anyone have any experience with these? Im about to do an engine swap, and Im thinking about trying it out. Think it's a mistake?

    13.9 sec mkiii lexus afm with 440 engine did not blow???

    Believe it or not, contrary to popular belief, using a lexus AFM on a stock fuel system doesnt hurt the engine whatsoever. I ran my 89' turbo with nothing but 3" exhaust, cold air, and the lexus AFM for over a year and saw nothing but good results. The engine has 160000 miles now and doesnt...
