Here I go yanking out the turbo and manifold, again. I've went to Car Quest, Pep Boys, NAPA, O'Reilly's, Autozone, Ace Nut and Bolts, and none of them had lock nuts aka progressive thread nuts aka distorted thread nuts. I just haven't had time to get in the garage and begin wrenching. Oh well...

Your very first post was relevant advice. Why didn't you follow the advice given? It was free and quick to do. Why did you drag on this thread giving us symptoms of BHG and expect us not to think that is what it was? To this day have you performed the block test to make sure you don't have...

Wow, I was thinking of the same exact quote. Then I read yours. If you're really interested in trading with him meet him at performance shop with a dyno. Tell him to dyno his car, and if it does hit 400+rwhp you'll pay for the dyno and make the trade. If it doesn't then he pays for his...

Sounds romantic with the fleshlights and all. Make sure to capture some vids if possible.

The minute they asked you if you really wanted it, I would have said no and called my credit card company to do a charge back. Why you allowed them to string you on is beyond me. Trust no one. It's your money you're going to lose.

Correction, 526cc @ 43.5psi. I wanted to see what the car could do at 20psi. In order to do that I had to crank up the fuel pressure to 65psi vacuum disconnected. I got as far as 18.8psi running 12.2 afr. I was close to 2000Hz which is the FC limit for my ECU. I'm going to need bigger...

Looks interesting. You better mount that beast toward the center, or your car may lean to one side!

I tried looking for some distorted thread nut, aka jamb nuts & lock nuts, locally with no luck. Went to all the auto parts stores and they looked at me blank faced after I asked for them. Some would show me those nylon inserted nuts that will not work for exhaust hardware. I'll have to check...

Re-tighten my damn turbo to T4 manifold nuts. They keep backing out. Are there some exhaust nuts on the market that don't back out?

Another damn exhaust leak. These turbo to manifold bolts just keep backing out. I swear I'm going to have to re-tighten these things once a week it seems. That's unless I get some that don't back out.

I was just going to say it's a matter of time before that meet is ruined, too. I've only been there once and I've seen many cars haul ass out of there on the access road. Hopefully not though.

It was just a matter of time. I'm not surprised one bit, and don't blame the organizer calling it quits. It's a shame the culprit alone doesn't get punished (ticketed) rather the whole meet.

I rock Autolite 3922's. Copper for me. They around $1.00 a piece from Rockauto.com. Whenever I need to order parts from them I make sure to add a set of plugs for the Supra, so it can come in the same box as the other part.

I have news for you guys. All car groups have a following that think "their car is the shit and others can suck a dick" mentality. That includes the MKIII crowd. Most of the guys that think this way are the younger guys (<26). Just because you haven't ran across a Civic that can beat you...

I would take a compression tester and run the test. Make sure that shortblock is up to par. Given that it runs rich and neither one of you can fix it now you can use that as leverage. Knock off a couple of hundred to get somebody else to tune it for you. Learn how to do it yourself and fix it...

I remember when my Supra was my DD. I had another car, but it was my wifes. First time I had BHG we shared the other car back and forth to work. It was a pain in the ass... and we were in the same household. It got frustrating. There were times where I'd take the city bus, and catch a cab...
