    Intercooler cleaning possible?

    Gas would be the cheapest way to go as it takes quite a bit of cleaner to get the job done. 1 gallon should serve well. Half a gallon, cap off both ends, shake that bitch up bunches, empty. Repeat, let sit if you want on the second run for a good deep soaking. ;)

    REIGN's REBUILD! Its a beautiful thing... (THAT IS FOR SALE) =(

    Oh, well if it's just a rental, then have at it! Just hope that the land lord has everything in line with the mortgage payments, or you will be in the same boat at that place as you are with the house you are currently in ;). Rental properties are at a high risk of failure if the land lord...

    REIGN's REBUILD! Its a beautiful thing... (THAT IS FOR SALE) =(

    It's the same. The problem over here is many mortgage companies set up deals with potential home owners who really wanted the home of their dreams, but couldn't afford it with the fixed interest rates offered at that time (which are lower then than they are now). So they offered the home owners...

    CT26 Wastegate

    Are you trying to slide it over, onto the turbo to bolt on and found out that it was a little hard to do? If so, that's normal.

    Ok, I guess its my turn

    I'm no electrical expert, but maybe the extra voltage from the 16V battery is the culprit... Maybe it fried something: :dunno: What's up with the armrest? That thing sticks out like a sore thumb ;)

    Anyone ever use this Cooleeze Turbo inlet pipe?

    There's no common sense to that statement of yours :nuts: The bypass valve's purpose is to seal off positive (boost) pressure from the accordian hose until it senses a drastic change into vacuum, then it will open, allowing the excess pressure built up from the turbo still compressing the air...

    REIGN's REBUILD! Its a beautiful thing... (THAT IS FOR SALE) =(

    Best time in a few months eh? Doubt it, it's most likely going to get a bit worse here. Jake, coming from someone with a lot of mortgage experience, DO NOT GET AN ADJUSTABLE RATE MORTGAGE!!! THAT'S why the market is like it is right now. Lots of people bought into the lower initial rate...

    -10AN or 1/2" lines

    Busy as ever at work, I probably won't have much time dedicated here for a while, but the Aeroquip socketless hoses and fittings is what I'm going with. ;)

    developed rod knock on new motor

    A shimmed oil pump will not hurt anything on a good, healthy running engine of course. One that already has RK wouldn't matter though. I'd stay around 3-5mm shims personally...

    Which Cam is better for 450 to 550 Hps goal?

    You do know that there can be a huge difference between a 264 cam from one company, and another 264 from another right? Same goes for any measurement cam...

    Advantage of N/A cams in turbo engine

    QFT I normally try to help out people with an answer to a question that has been adressed numerous times, but after a while it's time to start saying, "enough is enough, search damn you!".

    Motor breaking oil down too fast?

    Are you sending your oil out to a lab to be tested to determine that it's breaking down? A place like Blackstone labs? Or are you just thinking this becuase the oil is getting dark? What oil filter are you using? If you say this because the oil is getting dark, that means that the oil is...

    First start up Q's

    The engine will also turn over easier/faster if you don't have the spark plugs in too after the efi fuse is pulled.

    will non turbo head work on turbo engine?

    Yes, the egr cooler. The aftermarket gaskets for them are shit and nothing like the genuine Toyota gasket, get the toyota gasket for it if that is indeed what is leaking back there.

    Anyone ever use this Cooleeze Turbo inlet pipe?

    You can't have a "boost leak" in a hose that doesn't see positive pressure :nono:

    Anyone ever use this Cooleeze Turbo inlet pipe?

    I have one, the vac. ports aren't located exactly in the same positions as the stock accordian hoses are. You will most likely have to get about 6" of rubber hose, cut them into 3 equal lengths, clamp them onto the metal fittings on the stock vac hoses that come out of the accordian hose, and...

    wtf is this? stop leak or?
