what are you using to test the signal on your ignitor?

The newer diesels are a lot cleaner. VWs 2008 Jetta is California emissions approved. Now thats clean. I look at the cummins and other truck motors and compare them to the newer clean-burning diesels that MB and VW are putting out. Its like comparing the v8s of a few decades ago to the newer...

do you have a tach signal at the ignitor? Hook a timing light or an extra tachometer to it and check it out. If you have a signal there it is a wiring issue.

I think you are going to have a harder time than you think installing oil squirters. The surface that they mate to has to be machined flat, threaded, and an orientation dowel hole has to be drilled as well. The whole point of using a GE block is that you can get them for less than 500 bucks...

My VW Jetta TDI diesel rules. 4500 redline and plenty of torque. Its a full size 4 door with a massive trunk too..... 42cty/48+ hwy. I am very meticulous about measuring my fuel economy and this is very consistent. I have to drive it very hard with the AC on to get it below 42 MPG. If I...

1. You dont have to drill the block. 2. Assuming your 1j head has the same CC as a 2jzge head, you need a 2mm head gasket to get ~8.5:1 on the CR. Read my build thread and follow the links. It will tell you all you need to know.

isnt the w58 a push type? If you had a high pressure plate then why are you eliminating the clutch from the equation? Wouldnt you still be making pressure on the crank but in the opposite direction? Just wondering - I have never actually worked on a w58. APHXERO - You can get a NON-Turbo GE...

Dude - Just get a used 2jzge shortblock and up your displacement by .5. Put your 1j head on it and call it a day. Did you do a manual swap into the cressida? Do you have an "upgraded" pressure plate? BING. You got crankwalk. I dont think that the seal caused it - I think that your thrust...

yeah if you are going with a custom setup then I would use a shop that specializes in supras.

I have heard some people say that a w58 would work, but I dont see how it could. However, I have never tried it... I used a 1jz bell housing. If you try out a w58 and it works then more power to you.

looks like similar results to the test that was done on SF a few years ago. NA cams - good for smaller turbos and quick spool. turbo cams - good for big turbos that require more rpms

I painted mine with some high-end ppg metallic black. Looks very nice.

I thought the spec for JEs was .003 - I dont have the spec sheet but that what I remember off the top of my head.

one thing though rich - the did not come out of his motor. He can bore the block he is using to properly match the pistons after repair. He shouldnt have any slap.

My money is on the fuel pulsation dampner being clogged or the fuel pressure regulator being blown. Check your fuel pressure at the fuel rail input near the back of the motor and at the point of the FPR on the front of the rail. I think that you may have some blockage in your FPD. I think...

I dont know how deep the scuff is. You could have them polished a bit and re balanced at a machine shop. I think you could still run them if they come out relatively smooth without protruding edges and are still round. In stock form they arent smooth to begin with so dont try to make it...

I have 5.25" in the back pods. They fit with some modification.

Will post the sheet when I find it - 57 trim ct-upgrade 3" turbo back boost controller 550's 365 hp and ~370 tq That was about all I could get out of the 57 trim. It ran out of air.
