In digital cameras, you'll need to know what your going to use it for. If you're going to make hard copy pictures, e-mail, or desk top stuff.... ? That will determine the number of pixels you'll need. 3 megapixels (MP) is good enough for up to 4X6 hard copies. But if you want a 8X10 you'll...

Turbochargedterror, That's stock on an '88? I've got an '87 and its got chrome tips (at least the stock exhaust that's in the garage has). The pipe might look like yours, but the tips covering the pipes are chrome. They look much better than the '88.

I've had one dealing with HPF. I ordered an EMS and paid in full. What HPF didn't tell me until after 4 times I contacted them was that the AEM EMS was not in stock , or ever had been in stock, and they didn't have a confirmed delivery date. This was understandable because the EMS for the...

My forged pistons rattle a little when cold as 7MGETJOE says. The shop I got them for told me they would rattle until warm. It sounds a little like a diesel motor for a about a minute or less. But when its warms up it still has a little rattle ring to it. I believe the clearances are looser...

I'm very interested in how you make out on the dyno. I'm shooting for 500RWHP min. and decent spool up on pump fuel with what ever mods it takes me to get there. So I'd really like to see what you get.

If you don't take the 30 minutes to remove the radiator,fan shroud and fan, you might damage the radiator. Then you're going to wish you took the time to remove everything. And when you do remove everything, there's a lot or room to work. For me, its well worth the time.

thesupraman, can you elaborate a little more on the turbo application. Like the optimum HP rating, or flow rating, expected spool up RPM, etc. to see if it meets my application. Thanks.

I think you only have a problem with cross drilled rotors if you get a cheap rotor where the manufacturer just drilled the holes anywhere, or if you race. The racing brakes are a different set-up. I am told they get extremely hot and are designed to run extremely hot. A drilled rotor will...

Fram is one of the worst oil filters you can get. Its cheaply made. Doesn't filter as good. Although were not driving VW's, its not recommended for VW's because they burst at the higher pressures VW uses. Believe it or not, Motorcraft is one of the best. I remember when I used to look for...

Supra Blues, my California supra with a Japanese rebuilt motor and a tested (so they advertise) oil pump seems to be about the same as yours. Although I think it usually runs between 3 and 4. But definately idles at or around -. On the original pump and when it was new it ran at and sometimes...

You have to be careful about cross drilled rotors on vented rotors. The holes have to be placed correctly on the rotor in relation to the internal stiffeners. Otherwise you will have strength and internal cracking problems. So who ever puts the holes in has to know where the stiffeners are.

I'm a little interested. Is this a ball bearing turbo?

A guy at work has a side business of doing cyro treatment on rotors. He's getting me a set of rotors and custom Porterfield pads for my wife's VW. If anyone wants to cryo their rotors, I can get you his number. You can either send him your rotors or he can go out an buy them. But its not...

When my car was a N/A I got headers. But after receiving them and comparing them to the stock exhaust, they looked almost identical. So I never put them on. I'd say don't waste money on headers.

fixing that problem with a new water pump. But the water pump can cause cavitation, which heats up the coolant. So the faster the water pump runs, the more heat it generates.

Someone else had a similar problem. He solved it with a new radiator cap. You might try that, or try another water pump. Although I've never heard of someone

Yup. The NA has a volt meter where the boost gage goes.

I've got a similar problem (if you call it a problem). Its only a problem when you pass a cop and the car back fires. I think my problem is with the catback/down pipe. My car was converted NA-T. In the process I changed the catback to an HKS w/ 85mm pipes and HKS 75mm down pipe. All the...

Try your water pump. I read an engineering article on faulty water pumps. A water pump can cause cavitation in the water and generate heat. The faster the pump turns the more cavitation there is. Cavitation is caused by faulty impeller fins. I don't think you can really tell if the pump...

I have the same problem. The car mysteriously loses water. No signs of leaks. No overheating. And if I monitored it every day, it wouldn't loose water. But then a few weeks after I stopped monitoring the water, it would be low again.
