    How much Rwhp???

    Um, to at least let us know that he's serious about making decent power with the car, and keeping it on the road and running right at the same time ;). Yes, EVERYONE should consider maintenance before mods, it's just makes me and others leery to help someone with questions on how to up the...

    Turbo and manifold questions. Need good advice

    The wastegate, be it 40mm or 50mm will be perfectly fine if all you are wanting to run is 15 psi like you stated before. Driftmotion sells some knockoff external wastegates that are proven to work just as well as the name brands, ask the owner himself, IIRC he uses one ;). Just like jdub and I...

    my 89 7mgte build up thread!

    I would greatly appreciate this machinists contact info, no one around here has any experience with supras and I want to take my shit to someone that is proven to know what they are doing with a 7M ;). PM with his phone # or something ;), It's only like a 2 hour drive from where I live to take...

    Turbo and manifold questions. Need good advice

    I prefer bolt on ;), less modification needed and I like a stock looking engine bay for the most part ;). That's just my personal opinion.

    Turbo and manifold questions. Need good advice

    You asked for an opinion and I gave it to you ;). I'm sure you'll find that even Sard's injectors will be off at times (ask suprahero how many cc's his "550's" flow ;)). It's engine and you can do whatever you want to with it, but there is no perfect fuel injector out there, RC PTE and Sard just...

    boost question?

    LOL, harsh. Seriously dude, you're starting to get yourself a bad reputation on here as being an ignorant ricer (no offense) that will not research about his car and lean basic maintenance before he starts slapping shit on it. I foresee your car being sold soon or becoming a parking lot queen...

    Quick Q: stock TB size + IC fender pipe size

    The reason why people use 2.5" because it will handle big power without getting very much over critical velocity. Using a 2.75" pipe you will have to be pushing some pretty decent boost to keep the velocity up, but still, you've got 2" restrictions in your system. I did some research on this a...

    Quick Question-supra mk3

    It's all in the load ;). That's why it's hard as hell to build boost by just reving at idle.

    How much Rwhp???

    Because he's posting up other dumb question on here where I have been trying to beat it into him that "maintenace first" is the way to go. Surely after I've mentioned it to him a few times he would have at least acknowledged it with, "oh, I've already done that stuff", but no, he keeps on asking...

    alternate mandrel bend source

    Great Link... What center line radius are you guys getting off of them? If you order a 24" CLR then that means it's 12" on each side from the middle of the bend correct?

    Turbo and manifold questions. Need good advice

    First of all, a 66 or 67 trim turbo is overkill for the power goals you have posted up ;). I'm going for 450-475 and I'm using a .61 trim turbo on the cold side and .81 on the hot side, which is good for +600 HP (look up BOSS stage V). 550's will not be a problem for 400-450 HP, these are the...

    Turbo rebuild questions

    Here's my thoughts: If you are going for big power, or +300 HP, then change it out. The stocker is decent as long as it's not beat to hell (take it out and dump a bunch of gas in it to clean out all the blow by built up in it throughout the years if you wanna keep it). My cousin has a full 3"...
