As far as quality and the reports here, noone's had any complaints. What hasn't really been answered is performance beyond 1bar...but that's really a matter of time more than anything else, I think. Turbo really looks promising, especially for a bolt-on affair. Yes, there are wastegate issues...

You can also pick up a reverse osmosis unit and make 50 gallons a day. Mine cost me $50...I use it to make pure water for my aquarium and snake habitats.

As am I. Sounds like a decent alternative to a CT26 60-1 upgrade...I just want a stockish looking snail that'll do 400-500 whp reliably. This seems to fit the bill really well, I may have to budget it into my build.

Yeah...plus, I'm out that way at least once a month to see my sister. Definitely gotta come party with you guys sometime. NorthBay is just...blah for car pride. Only time I ever get appreciative looks is in Napa, and even then it's only because they think it's a Lambo.

Woo, finally got around to pulling the door apart and fishing through the wiring for the door solenoid! No more cracked windows and breaking in for me...pics! So, here's a better shot of just how well the solenoid tucks into the channel on the interior panel: ...hmm. I'll have to YouTube the...

Who's got a 707 area code? 510, 290 even? No, I mean really...haven't seen but a handful of folks around my area, and you all seem to be inactive. I'm trying to come out to meets, regularly. I know KBR Performance in Vallejo is a Supra specialist, but I just haven't seen many Supras beyond them...

STATE: California, north of SF all the way to Sac NAME: Jeremy SHOP: got a three car driveway PHONE: 707-s!x eight e!ght-0362 TOOLS/SERVICES: Anything that can go on a 1/4 to 1/2 drive, jacks, jackstands, engine hoist, small buzzbox wire welder, air tools, and a couch to crash on...sometimes I...

Boost gauge, metric sockets and drivers, wrenches, a new professor's cube (5x5x5 rubiks cube) and a visa gift card. Meanwhile, the real gift was seeing everyone I bought for get excited about theirs. Idk, I never get really excited about Christmas until the day of. Those dog packs are awesome...

What I mean is, it's not worth the cost/effort until you want to make tons of power. Plus, I can't think of any 4" turbo-back systems that will bolt or even weld to the stock ct26; turbine outlet is far too small and would cause the double expansion/turbulance mentioned before. Furthermore, it's...

It's probably the stock elbow doing it; in your sytem, exhaust gasses are expanding in two places now...once at the turbine (manifold -> 2.25) and again inside the downpipe (2.25 -> 3). Close proximity of the two is going to cause a sonic issue called a harmonic, where two sound waves of...

http://www.ls1tech.com/forums/forced-induction/670015-vnt-turbo-megasquirt.html <- This guy did it. MS + 6.6L duramax VNT, only on an iron 402 LSx motor. Looks like he eventually went with a twin T70 setup, citing that it was too small for the 402; considering that it's basically a GT45 or GT42...

So when's the next NorCal meet?

One of two Honda's I'd be proud to own, right there. And with 50% more motor? You're after my heart, dude.

1/4 and 3/8" drives, 8-21mm sockets, zip ties in five different sizes, 6-16mm line wrenches, 3lb sledge, scissor jack, bag of wire/butt connectors...pillow, blanket, TP, MREs, first aid kit, jumper cables, water, and a rain poncho. Plus the targa tool.

Wish I could, man...300 is a great price for those. I just had to drop 500 on the deposit for custom 17x9 and 17x13's, though. And I won't even see them for a handful of months! T-T

Lots of good info here...what's more good reading on valvetrain development? And I mean books; I think a good volume on this subject would prove a good addition to most of our libraries.

I think it would be a decent supporting mod for a (very) high compression build, but why not just convert to e85? All the benefits, less equipment and weight; even the fuel weighs less than normal gasoline. Hell, even add meth to that later on (could you?), or go e98 or even an all-out ethanol...

Whew, thought I'd see the demotivator someone made from a pic I had posted here of my supra. Found it the other day...shoulda saved it for posterity. Can't seem to find it again :-/ It pissed me off so bad that I put a deposit down on custom steel rims. That said. These guys FAIL, and in a bad...

With a Megasquirt, you can do a lot more than that. You could dial-a-boost depending on throttle position, intake temp, any number of things. Basically, boost pressure would become just another trim adjustment; set a static value, and add to or subtract from it to adjust for motor/environmental...

Sweet progress...got specs on that snail? Looks a bit smaller than a t70, but looks can be deceiving.
