    MK5 Supra Summer Design Project

    Honestly, im leaning toward the top version.. shorter wheelbase, tighter package, meaner lines. The top proportion focuses more on bringing the brand language into a new era of design and surfacing. The bottom version is more of a grand touring package, with longer overhangs, more classical...

    Found something i REALLY didnt want to today

    very good point! you will need to remove all your charge piping and the IC and blow it out with compressed air. ill bet if you pop a hose off right now, youll find tiny bits of metal chillin in there, waiting to hit your new turbo blades, or continue the vicious cycle of tearing up your current...

    Found something i REALLY didnt want to today

    i agree.. my old turbo would still spool and boost fine, top the stock gauge out and hold, and i NEVER adjusted the wastegate.. but it looked like chop suey, and i was getting really concerned about the blades disintegrating or eventually shattering into my engine..

    Found something i REALLY didnt want to today

    upgrading to a 60-1 T4 turbo is QUITE a task.. you may wanna wait until you've thoroughly familiarized yourself with the 7m engine bay before tearing into it and replacing generally everything in there. as far as upgrading your CURRENT ct26 turbo to a 60 trim, its generally accepted as a bad...

    dead spot in throttle upon very light pressure.

    hey all, There is a 'dead spot' in my throttle at a very specific position- the position that revs the engine to around 2000 rpm under no load. i can directly move the throttle lever on the throttle body to this position, or i can do it with my gas pedal. It's pretty much the 'sweet spot' for...

    Article: The Warped Brake Disc and Other Myths of the Braking System

    if the rotors are being machined back to a true flat surface, (thus removing the uneven deposition of pad material), why does the article say that the problem usually returns very quickly? because the rotors are machined and reinstalled, but the pads are still unevenly worn?
