    Best BOV ever?!

    I dont see how that would work. If anything giving the air a place to escape closer to the turbo would alleviate the pressure buildup at the turbo quicker then if it were at the throttle body.

    Chunks' Build

    Well I have found the culprit!!! :icon_bigg Here are some pics of the pump half with the bushing and seal untouched. The problem was obvious when i looked at it without the input shaft(s) in the way. I have no idea how this is possible, the bushing walked out towards the seal. When it got...

    Pics of possible carnage from transmission removal and inspection. Hopefully a new seal will fix it for good. If not itll be time for a TH350 or a AODE.

    Electric fan question...

    The undercover can be contributing, but wont cause overheating issues.

    Best BOV ever?!

    I understand the need to flow witch is why my BOV is set up to open effortlessly and whyi want to run a second BOV to ensure the air can escape quickly enough. My BOV remains cracked open at idle vacuum. Though many people think that when you run more boost you need to tighten the valve or have...

    Best BOV ever?!

    I dont understand the need for a better blow off valve to handle more boost. Most all blow off valves have a vacuum line on the side of the valve or diaphragm opposite the intercooler pipe, such as the Greddy type S and the like. With this type of valve the same pressure is on both sides of the...

    Thanks Crisp! Cars down for the moment. I believe the transmission front pump to converter snout seal took a dump. Either that, the big o-ring type seal around the pump, or i cracked the pump housing. I just installed a nice set of parking brake shoes (Thanks to Zumtizzle) and i was playing...

    Best BOV ever?!

    You can buy good items off of Ebay when you look for legit stuff rather then junk. If the OP looked up an authentic HKS bov, he would have gotten one from a good seller. When you willingly buy junk, dont get mad when you receive junk. If i look for anything on Ebay that i want quality i look...

    Why paint prep is so important

    My car was painted by macco for 600 bucks 3-4 years ago and my car looks mint. The difference is me and my father did all the prep work/disassembly and gave them a bare car that just needed to be sprayed. Just because a place sprays a car for cheap doesn't mean its junk. You have to prep the car...

    HDR Attempts

    Thanks! Yea i bought one from radio shack. It was 17 dollars after tax. I like the way it makes the picture more live and full. I really want to get that cartoonish look though. I think it looks cool.

    Got a new camera and experimented with HDR programs. Ofcourse the Supra day at the track (Saturday 7/10/10) got rained out for the second time. Still no numbers. :(

    Thanks!

    If you power up the clutch it should turn by the belt. My question is why doesnt it energize from the A/C control unit?

    HDR Attempts

    I took 3 Exposures for each picture. -2, 2 and +2EV. I like the way it makes the picture look more full and i guess vibrant is the word. I think the camera is somewhat limited in its abilities. Me as an operator doesnt help. Do you take pictures with specific settings? Or do you take a...

    I usually just put it flat on my center console and slide it back against the rise where the switches are and i hold it in place with my right hand.

    srsly guys. What's up?

    Who said a supra is a sports car designed to go fast? There are plenty of people going fast, maybe they just dont talk to you. Usually people asking questions about other peoples cars are gathering information to learn what needs to be done to there cars. These are popular cars and most people...
