Well, two of them are.

I just find it funny that the top four threads in this section right now, are ALL about smoke on startup.

Yup, did that on my new head.

I had the problem of slight oil at startup, then oil after a heavy accel/decel. Turned out that two of my valve stem seals had popped off the guides, and were simply riding up and down on the valve stems.

Then you want to look in the build gallery. Here's my 7MGTE build thread. Lot's of customs mods to various parts of the engine. http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?154373-Project-Git-er-done!-Stages-1-and-2...

Other way around. Oil is blueish, water/ coolant is white. If it IS the head gasket, and it only happens before the motor heats up and expands to seal it, you might very well get lucky, and be able to just retorque the head back down. The bolts do sometimes loosen up. Proper torque should be...

You could buy 2 from this guy for $82 after shipping, http://www.ebay.com/itm/03-04-05-06-Mitsubishi-Evolution-8-9-Fuel-Injectors-OEM-/281574266295?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item418f2255b7&vxp=mtr And the other 4 from this guy for $110 shipped...

No. That is really only needed when you're pushing past big hp numbers. The labor vs. benefit is nearly pointless at ~300hp. If you plan to have the head off, and expect to one day upgrade cams, springs, retainers, etc, then sure, why not.

You don't need to adjust your TPS if you only get the 51 when touching the throttle! It just means that the ecu senses that the tps is not showing idle position of the tps. You're supposed to get that code with any throttle input.

They're all over Ebay, but just found an interesting site that has all sorts of cool things, and a great price on adapters: http://www.casperselectronics.com/store2/index.php?cPath=14

Also, any junk yard Toyota from the 80's will have a cap that fits.

An additional option is Evo 560cc injectors. They are also low impedance, and can usually be found for a great price. They require either new electrical plugs, or adapter plugs. I used a set of these for a few years and they were great. Ex: adapters:

My filter element. Normally, its folded in half along it's length, then rolled up. This filter had 190,000 miles. The opaque section is solid dirt.

Possibly, but if it's the original 25+ yr old pump, it may have simply lived a full life. A walbro 255/ AEM / Aeromotive pump are easy 3 hour swaps, that guarantee you good fuel pressure for years to come. In addition, ALWAYS replace the fuel filter. It's location is just above and in front of...

You have to be very specific on what you want done at the shop. Unless the know 7MGTE's, they could overlook something. Aside from simply starting with a clean motor, you want to insure that the head is torqued properly, and the coolant system is performing at least as good as new. That, and...

Everything he said. The code 51 is because you pressed the throttle. If its just blinking like once every 1/4 second, you have no other fault codes. But just as Hvyman said- you prolly have a boost leak. You shouldn't be hitting fuel cut till after 10psi.

Is this like a 57+ trim mod to the turbo? If so, I could see a possibility of lean during high manifold pressures, but not in no-load condition. If this is truly the case, then I would say something in the fuel system is under-performing. You said that fuel pressure was ruled out. How? In past...

I will be testing at 0 psi, lol. More specifically, I just want to avoid fouling plugs at idle/ in vacuum. In general, the move to DG500 coils was almost entirely for aesthetic reasons, as the oem setup works well. However, using these Ford coils with the stock igniter actually seems to produce...

I just received my 24v up-converter in the mail yesterday, I'm looking forward to installing it. I ordered a set of male and female oem igniter plugs, so that I can wire this in as a patch harness, and just remove it without splicing/ cutting anything. I had an issue where I had no spark on...

Uh....yeah. I don't recall you mentioning the ol' "upside-down hg" deal, lol. So.... Where's the video of the qtp goodness? You know i wanna hear that.
