    It's safe to run over 14psi boost on stock twins.

    Yeah, it was bad out of the box... but survived 6 months til it finally got to the point where its undriveable. I figured by the time it was time to get it fixed i'd have another turbo, but I have since lost interest in making big hp, and now i just need something to drive lol

    It's safe to run over 14psi boost on stock twins.

    Not quite a bang.. Went out with a screech of the compressor wheel rubbing the housing lol... I hope the compressor is salvageable. Should be. I don't want to wait 2 months for precision to do their factory warrenty service, i might just have it fixed local. 2 months of downtime isn't...

    It's safe to run over 14psi boost on stock twins.

    I'm not one to speak, I blew my single on 12psi :) Ok I stretched the truth. It was defected from the factory and I still used it til it had no more to give. It's a 360* journal bearing turbo, the turbine side seal failed causing the thrust bearing to fail, leaving the shaft with 1/4in of...

    Where the hell is the JZ thermostat

    Most stants don't stay open when they fail, which they are good at doing. OEM stick open when fail.

    It's safe to run over 14psi boost on stock twins.

    Running your boost over 1 bar will not blow the turbos. Daily driving 18psi will not blow the turbos. Dynoing at 22psi on C16 will not blow the turbos. Stock twins blow up just due to old age like every other turbo in the world that is 15 years old. Turbos that have been abused by...

    The offset is fine, it's not a MKIII. The front is +11 with no rubbing at all. Theres more to a rim then just offset. I got the offset so the rim is about even with the body. I can widen the back of the rim with a different bucket. That doesn't change the offset, and makes the rim ALOT...

    1J Boost q's

    ^ The best way? A Blitz/SARD/etc... Reflashed ECU. The "other" way? A Fuel Cut Defenser.

    Tire Experts:

    The front I already changed. The front were correct from Japan, actually stretched. I put something a little less JDM y0 on there. My rims are 3 piece SSR's. All I need is a new inside bucket to make them wider, as with my offset they stick out towards the fender plenty. I could probably...

    Right now on the rear of my car I have 265/35/18's. They are imported Ducaro's that came on the rims when I got them imported. The tires look funny on the rims. The sidewall is kinda too tall, and the tire is a hair too wide for the rim. I would say that... It looks like something...

    1J Boost q's

    I think your boost gauge is off. PS, I'm with Joe. If one more person says you'll blow the twins going over 14psi... I'm tired of that false info.

    Where the hell is the JZ thermostat

    With a wobble extension, you can do it in a few mins. I musta changed my stat 10 times. Now that i'm single turbo, the only way to do it is under the car. I also had to modify my water neck (cut 1in off) so I could run my IC piping lowered (i didnt go straight down then front like MKIV's, I...

    Anyone using an aftermarket MAP sensor?

    you don't. You have to solder it in the old fashion way. Any issues, just call PHR, he perfected the mapecu on the 1j
