    Got Ceramic?

    eventually, the exhaust manifold will be done, I have another one that I'm doing some port work to - so its going to be a little while before that's done. Besides, since everything just got back together, I just want to drive the damn thing!!!

    Post your intake temp, please

    The highest I've seen so far (while driving) is +15F over ambient. In traffic or a hot start, I've seen a more, but it always drops back done once I get moving. For reference, my IAT sensor is near the fender on my IC pipes.

    R154 Clutch kits-need your opinions

    I'm running a South Bend feramic full face on an unorthodox flywheel. The engagement is smooth - almost stock like and should hold over 450ft lbs. I only have 125mi on it so far so I haven't really pushed it. Even though it gets smoother the more miles I put on it, it doesn't like to be slipped...

    Got Ceramic?

    I actually have an efan set-up. I added a prosport h2o temp gauge in the block drain (rear, exhaust side) and wanted to make sure that the sensor was both accurate (enough) and didn't heat soak. Knowing the stock clutch kicks in ~200-205 and I have a 90C toyota thermostat, I figured it was a...

    Got Ceramic?

    SS5: Actually, if you look at the first pic, my center section powder coated black (1500F HiTemp). The powder could handle the heat, just wouldn't have the insulating properties of the ceramic. edit: John @ MDC had the center section done while he was rebuilding the unit.

    Got Ceramic?

    about 150mi. The hot stuff (exhaust parts) might get dull over time. the cold side stuff shouldn't be a problem - it won't get hot enough,

    How strong is the stock rear end?

    I know its a rarity, but for the OP, a torsen rear (they are usually packaged w/4.10's from JDM cars - TTR and Turbo A, correct?) do NOT do well w/ drag launching. The worm gears within a torsen don't like shock loading - stick with the clutch type (which all US bound cars came with).

    Got Ceramic?

    I usually like to plug people what they do a great job on things in the buyer/seller area, but I wanted to point out what a great job jdub does with the ceramic coating service that he offers the members of SM. I don't recall every part I've had him do, but overall, the cleanability of parts as...

    maftpro tipin stumble, 2krpm hickup....

    And then I drove it some more yesterday, made some additional changes and I think i'm getting there. The only issue I'm having is that the VF signal doesn't seem to be working anymore on the pro - so I'll check it at the diag block and see if its a wiring issue (shouldn't be, as all connections...

    maftpro tipin stumble, 2krpm hickup....

    whoops, I thought I had updated this thread (I did over of FTT). anyway, here was Wednesday's results: update: moved the vac source and it was better. fooled with the TPS and MAP settings (in response) and it was much better still - almost stockish (good). So I put ~ 25mi on it (gas station...
