    Has anyone tried a mercedes steering damper vs an OEM one?

    This another one of those true arguments about Toyota utilizing the damper for a good reason.. this is in regard to pre-PPS racks though.

    I was always under the impression that using a spacer any larger than 25mm would exponentially affect the wheel bearings over time.. depending on what condition they're in. Of course, coil-overs and aftermarket wheels affect that too, but perhaps not in such a severe fashion.

    Has anyone tried a mercedes steering damper vs an OEM one?

    Does the damper do all that much? Maybe that's why my car feels semi-sloppy at times..

    Sorry to hear that.. At least you can start fresh and make proper numbers afterwards.

    Modded Jz What are my realastic HP numbers gonna be? Shooting for 600+ at wheels

    you should be able to make better numbers than those.. a lot of folks manage ~450whp @ 18-20psi on a decent tune. that's with stock head.. also, I'm not sure why he told you race gas is needed (-more like preferred for safety).. 500whp is possible on pump (93 here), but it takes an aggressive...

    12.5-12.9v when the engine is running, bad alternator?

    yeah, I checked the leads for corrosion and such Poodles.. they seemed to be fine from the portions available to the naked eye. as far as checking the regulator, I was pretty sure that was the cause after I noticed the strange voltage fluctuations after driving for like 15mins or longer. I...

    12.5-12.9v when the engine is running, bad alternator?

    Thank you for the quick and informed response. As to what I'm running, just stock with the addition of an AFC and gauges, though it ran for years with the current setup, no issues. Just started one day after idling for like an hour, went and tried to start it and nothing happened. This...

    12.5-12.9v when the engine is running, bad alternator?

    I'm pretty sure it is, but to be sure I wanted to ask. Car had 12.3v when I started it earlier, after being in stop and go traffic with the headlights dimming and such when I put on the brakes, the reading was bouncing from 12.5v to 12.9v. When I got home, I turned the car off and waited a...

    Even if the car had 100hp, I'd still feel uncomfortable with the stock brakes.

    stock twins.. I expect around 450whp @ ~18psi when I go single. my buddy did it with nearly the same mods when he still had his RB25, and I see no reason not to expect very similar results.

    agreed^, well on the exhaust and the mods ;). I made 340 @ 16psi with stock head, but everything else outside standalone and injectors has been done. I've always figured 15% drivetrain loss, though 20% is probably more accurate.

    well, I'm not really sure how to answer "stages," so.. but I'd recommend going to 440s regardless of what you're doing, as long as you have an AFC or whatever else.

    I need your advice on my build!!! HX35/440s/264s???

    use the USDM 550s from a MKIV and you can reach those numbers.. that's the biggest most do without doing standalone (assuming this is a 1J). any larger than that, I'd likely suggest top feed and standalone.
