    Exhausr systems?

    Power gain is going to be minimal, so it comes down the looks, sound, durability, and price. Looks and sound are opinion based, durability is all the same as long as it's stainless, and price is a direct reflection of the fitment quality.

    The (old) Official Gun Thread.

    I know that consumers aren't stupid, the government just think they are. Like I said, a couple dozen or so confirmed cases out of the MILLIONS of guns sold is a track record any company would be GLAD to have. How about other guns that have major failures? Glocks blowing up, M16 barrel failures...

    Replacing an ECU isn't cheap, considering the only way to truly fix it is to go standalone, plus the tuning to go with it. Bell housing can be picked up used, same with the flywheel, and you're CRAZY if you don't replace the clutch, and he already has a transmission. Most 1JZ's are front or...

    What makes the GTE different?

    Rods are the same. Intake cam is different. Outside of the parts bolted to the engine (since it's a bit of a long list): - Pistons are different (lower compression on GTE) - Intake cam is different (more lift on GTE, unknown duration changes) - Oil pump - Oil squirters (early JDM...

    hole next to turbo oil return

    I want to say what it's for a support for the manifold or turbo, but not 100% sure since it's been so long.

    Translation: I'm going 1J because everyone goes 2J. Also I'm leaving out that upgrading twice is twice as expensive as doing it right the first time. Translation: I don't know what I'm talking about. Sorry, 1J has ECU issues, turbo issues, and is NOT "just as good" as a 2J. Dollar for...

    Adj. Cam gear initial setup

    Correct. You push it over so it's out of the way and snug the bolt. Put the belt on, loosen bolt, spin crank 2 rotations, double check timing marks, torque bolt to spec.

    Fluid recommendations?

    Overpriced, but yes, DOT4 is good stuff. For power steering you do NOT use power steering fluid, you use ATF.
