I will hassle him about it tomorrow, I actually want to know what his numbers are myself.

Yes, a friend in town here (Tobycat) has the HKS Super Drager. Its almost silent unless he's at redline, then it makes a little bit of noise.

Its an interesting topic, since I can see both points holding very well.. I can see it happening if the intercooler is ridiculous in size... but you're right, if its not that much bigger it shouldn't make a big difference, unless its a really really crappy IC.

Stock CT26 = not as much airflow as a better turbo (duh?) therefore it has trouble pushing a volume of air through a larger intercooler than the stock one. This can lead to more turbo lag, etc. Buy a turbo with more CFM (pretty much anything other than a stock CT26) to counter this problem.

Yes, you CAN use a regular 12pt, But as you start to cinch the nut down on the head I get awfully irked about the amount of contact between the nut and the socket (there is enough to torque it but I was a pansy and used a deep socket anyway).

Since a 14mm 12pt deep socket is impossible to find in town, I used a 9/16" 12pt deep socket. Close enough for me!

Yes, I had this happen to my ct26 when I was doing my engine rebuild. I let oil sit in the housing for a day and found that it was leaking out.. totally normal with the type of seals used on the ct26

Check the block off nipple, at the back of the block on the coolant pipe. Otherwise I'm going to assume your 90 degree bends (under tstat housing and behind head) are the culprits in this case. I somehow doubt it is the turbo.

Heh, that SC400 is owned by a guy here in victoria. All I know is those wheels are HOT. Minus the ridiculous offset.

Lol only 2? more like 18. And 3 sets of valve seals. wtf.

Newb. That was totally a 4 hour job. Did you do your valve seals, you cold-start-oil-blasting-newb? ahah. At least you aren't rocking the tercy anymore.

Wow that deck came out nice Chris. Purdy. The scoring, wow also. Mine weren't that bad were they? (you were the one that cleaned up one of the cams so you remember better than I do.)

Chris, good to see the piccies. Do the IJ thing and clean that bastard. Scrape scrape. Its the only way you'll know for sure. I know that when Nashman did his rebuild and I saw the block you can get it pretty damn clean with a bit of effort.

Yep. He's pwned the afm. Although it should still limp an idle with the afm disconnected.

I live in a city where I have to parallel park on occasion. I have grippy 225's, no AC, no PS. If you can't do it honestly go work out, because you're a tiny man. My 88 didn't have progressive steering and it was *SCARY* at high speeds, so the swap (removal) was definitely worth it...

lol Chris, your second pic is the incriminating evidence of the thing we do in BC that you get arrested for everywhere else. Hence the finger.

The Honda engine ones work perfectly, they actually seemed nicer than the shims we use! If you go into the service department of your local motorcycle shop (that services Hondas, of course) barter with the service guy. On a trade in of my old shims I got the new ones perfectly clean condition...

Nowhere, because I will personally send Nashman to your house to sodomize you if you do. Buy shims for a Honda CBX 1000cc motorcycle, or OEM-yo Toyota ones. The shims are a billet steel that has been highly polished. And I doubt you want to pay your shop to lap them for you. My...

Scratch that: New map being posted when we confirm drive time.

Oh no you didn't. :3d_frown: <3 the Nashman way.
