Yeah you're right it makes sense. A thin layer of sludge pretending to be oil is exactly right. When I had my engine apart it had that film all over. Not bad but still I'm pretty sure if the engine had oil changes on time it wouldn't be there.

I agree.

Uhh I guess so. They advertised like all the engines they sell come from cars 40k-60k. All they did was sell jdm engines I believe. Anyways I spun a rod tonight going heads up against a stock 03 mustang gt. Smoked him all 4 passes but on the last after I pulled over my engine was...

The psi numbers are in op. What other numbers are you talking about? To add to it, I never see anything over 25 at 3000 rpms and for that matter revving to redline will get me 40.

Tanabe with concept g blue muffler or test pipe. Both if your the daring type.

Wait what? I got it from a ebay company and machined the head/block then cometic hg +arp studs. 0-30? Yeah because I hooked up a napa oil pressure tester and it was the same reading as my stock boost gauge. edit: sorry! wrong button!

I ordered this engine from japan with I believe 55,000.... very close to there.

7mgte stock. I didn't check I figured it was fine when I was assembling it. Didn't hit me as something that normally should be replaced I guess.

uhh no, I knew beforehand where my psi should be and looks like I was spot on. When I was assembling my engine from being surfaced and mhg I replaced all seals and gaskets. I was thinking it could be my oil pump, but when I had my oil pan off it looked MINT.

I had low readings so I got an oil pressure tester from napa to confirm, I got same results. 20-25ish on cold startup, pin to 4 normal op idle, and barely 25psi at 2500 rpm's. I'm running mobile1 0w30. New oil pressure sender switch installed tight. Any ideas as to why this is?

How do bilsteins compare to koni yellows in handling response?

Nice dude post some pics

So is it a good to use heavy shockproof in lsd and tranny? I don't understand syncro wear but heavy shockproof warns it can harm them.

Thanks man that makes sense now! So I'll be handling alot better with the 205/45/16 but speedo will show a lil faster. Good thing my speedo's broken:biglaugh:

If the Heavy shockproof has the lower internal friction fluid of a 75w90... why isn't it listed under the manual trans products here http://www.redlineoil.com/Products.aspx?pcid=7? Makes me think twice if the heavy shockproof really is okay for the r154/lsd. and here...

Where can mt-90 be purchased? I don't think popular autoparts stores carry them other than maybe NAPA?

Hi temp engine/caliper paint ftw!

What is a good tire size for handling/cornering on my stock 16"s. I can't afford wheel upgrades yet and need tires on the front hence threads so I'm wondering what a good handling threshold is. My best guess would be 215/40/16 but again I could be way off. Please lmk. -Brian Edit, My...

Starting car with wrench and socket on crank then revving it up to keep it alive not knowing what was happening...

Extremely sorry about the delay on pics. Last piece of the puzzle is today which is new wiring harness and hopefully she starts up nicely! I'm on the right in the pic if you were wondering. -Brian
