    I might sell my soul for Prosport Peak and Hold gauges

    Here is the view with the Perin gauge holder: Obviously, eye level is above the steering wheel - so they don't really cover up anything.

    ddp or or hks dp with lipp elbow.

    Have to agree Joe. I say elbow (or rerouted DDP). Unsealed systems sound like garbage IMO.

    Doward's 375rwhp Build.

    John - I'll let you know on the 'notchyness' of a built 154 this weekend (built by marlin). With the NM shifter, total throw is ~3" which isn't really going to help the 'feel'. Cold shifting it feels really tight - nothing like a stock box. T5 = smooth???? tko3550 is waaaaaaaaaaay smoother (had...

    coolant dissapearing on new build

    yeah - by over-torquing there is a good chance you are causing the head to deform, allowing these little leaks to occur. I would start there first (because its a known problem)

    Is the GT3540R turbo worth the money?

    (to continue with the O/T) Anyone else remember what Lotus was doing around the same time (actually, it was shortly after) the ZR1 engine? turbo 2.2L 4cyl with 300-320hp in the espirit. and it was 375hp on the LT5, not 400. But still, for the time, it was very good.

    Normal Operating Temps

    pending what model (turbo, AT/MT) and year, the aux fan swtiches kick on at 212F and 234F (http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/TSRM/MK3/manual.aspx?S=AC&P=33) so yes, you are in the normal range for a stock cooling system (mine acted the same way stock)

    I might sell my soul for Prosport Peak and Hold gauges

    Hey Reap- Sorry, I missed your question. I have a pic on my phone that's @ steering wheel level (if you want it, give me a place to send it to). At my eye level (sitting), 800rpm and less on the tach and 140mph and above are covered. They way I figure it, I'm not going to be looking at the...

    Electric Fan Install Advice Needed

    ah, I wasn't that clear. the point of the low/ high temp is to set the range of variation, just the lowest speed (which occurs at the low temp) is 50% max rpm (and it continually increases to a max of 88%, until the 'high' threshold is reached, then it goes 100%). My only beef would be to have...

    Electric Fan Install Advice Needed

    I use this: http://www.spalusa.com/fans/automated/accessories/fanpwm.html When I bought it a year and a half ago, this place had the best price: http://www.speedwaymotors.com/p/4583,938_Spal-Fan-Controller.html in a nutshell, you program it with a low/high temp. at the low temp, fan kicks...

    stock turbo pipe/hose -> intercooler

    a soft rubber 'pipe' will expand with boost pressure anyway, and should only be used as a temp solution. Maybe check and see if there are any big diesel shops around - they might have something that would work in a pinch

    stock turbo pipe/hose -> intercooler

    Your asking about the lower IC pipe (turbo -> IC inlet)? If that IC you have has the input on the low part of the core on the pass side, then you could pick up a nice hard pipe that is an exact fit from Speed Source (I think they are somewhere in the misc vendor section). Under $100 and its a...

    MKIV TT brakes on mk3

    There was a kit for the rear that was made by Jake (can't recall his last name) that made the mkiv rear brakes a bolt on affair. He sold what was left of his kits on SF 3-4months ago (IIRC). That is all I can think of - Is that what you were referring to?
