P.S. As you may have guessed, it's not a daily driver, and most of the places that I'd drive it don't have noise ordinances, but I don't really want to get busted at a rod run, or anything...

My car's in the middle of a pretty big overhaul and I just welded up a 4" downpipe off of a garrett gt4088 that is also newly installed. My question is this: has anybody run this, and exactly how much louder is it than stock open dp? Sounds like a stupid question, I know. And I can't start...

Oh, I plan on it, but I'm pretty busy with work and such throughout the week. I'll get some up as soon as possible. -Devon Goodspeed

the one thing I'm worried about is the extra noise from the motor, since running it in the fashion that an mr2 is would involve optical sensors mounted on the steering column, and all kinds of other stuff (that would be too much of a pain in the ass to do), so I'm just going to run it off a...

Got the power steering pump today. If you've never seen one it's about 3" around, 6 or so inches long, and looks awfully similar to a 7m starter. Should work perfect for my application. I haven't really decided where I'm going to mount it as of yet, but the seller was nice enough to include the...

I don't really like it, myself. Like the tylenol shaped hole in the bomex bumper...it looks horrible as well IMHO.

welp, the pump is on it's way via someone on mr2oc.com for 70 shipped, and I think I'm just going to end up purchasing a new alternator, since the high output one's are 130 amps, which is kinda like added security on my eyes. I have removed my old power steering pump, brackets, etc...however...

...looks identical to mine.

the way I see it is purchasing a name brand intercooler is like purchasing electric fans "for the power increase." IMHO, the pressurization loss is so miniscule of a difference between the two that it's not worth the extra cash. If you want PERFECT fitment, buy name brand. If you're a...

good call.

okay, so, yes, an electric fan doesn't have as much power as the engine in your car, this is true, but is all that power really necessary in pushing/pulling air through your radiator? My car stays cool, and that's all that matters to me. If you run a clutch fan and your car stays cool, then...

They're made by OBX. One guy had issues with them breaking the dowel pin that goes into the cams, or grooving the cam gears or something due to the inferior aluminum that they are constructed of. Something like that.

Well, for most people the stock fan shroud took a crap a while ago. I've run one 12in. fan in 95+ degree weather around here with no troubles. My current setup has the fans (2-12in.) in front of the radiator, where the ac condensor used to be. Who needs a/c in a targa topped car? I don't...

meh, everything will fit with enough effort.

just to clarify, you DO know that a 2jz (along with all the other motors offered in a supra) are an INLINE six cylinder configuration, right? Not a v-6... ;-) -Devon Goodspeed

wow, that thing's crazy looking. Toss a 2jz in that thing and raise some hell...if it'll fit.

honestly, If I had the funds at this moment to repaint my car, I'd have my body guy fill in the license plate recess, cut out the stock 89+ grille, get rid of the emblem on the header panel, and paint it. Then i'd put some aluminum mesh in where the stock grille was and see if I couldn't...

Those aren't exactly troy lee designs graphics, either. IMHO dealer installed graphics retain the 80's sports car "cool" that the pre 89's had, although I would never do it to my car. -Devon Goodspeed

good point. I would think it's the cam/valve covers, or maybe the cps oring somehow (not sure if that's even possible) My reccomendation: buy a gasket set off ebay and make a day out of replacing every gasket you can get your hands on. You'll thank yourself later. Also, replace the valve...

what the hell is a cuppuccino? ...I mean, besides a coffee related beverage that starbucks charges wayyy too much for... ;-) -Devon Goodspeed
