    Mesh or no mesh?

    I'll be putting mesh on mine when I get a big fmic, there's no way I'm letting some dumb little rock put a hole in my expensive IC. I think as long as it's painted to match and doesn't look like shit, it protects the investment.

    Is it normal for the input shaft on an R154 to move around?

    my R-154 grumbles all the time w/ mobil 1 75-90 in it...I think it's time for a rebuild on it though.

    will this fit ? cos I'm a tool

    no thanks on the bugatti, with that much money I could have a handful of 1000hp mkiv's, or a few mkiv's, skyline gr's, rx-7's, a yacht, and a house. hmm...I can get my hands on a 3 rotor (from a cosworth) fully built, very low miles, pulled out of an rx-7, 1000hp 3 turbos (can't remember the...

    engine temp guage actin wierd???

    have you been messing with the gauges at all? have you had the gauge cluster out? I just took my cluster out to wire in a new boost gauge, and whenI put it back together my temp gauge (stock) didn't move at all, now it works, but sometimes it does that same thing, i'll get in the boost, and...

    rear wheel jingle

    I've got a jingle a whole lot like that, but it's coming from the passenger side front, when I hit a bump it makes this little jingle sound...pulled the wheel off and checked the suspension and what not...tapped on some parts with a large rubber mallet, and it wouldn't make the sound. I was...

    Best jack point

    I've always been in the habit of sliding the tires under the car when I take them off, just for the added safety, but I always use jack stands too... just get a lift!

    How to istall BIG billet cams *writeup w/ pics*

    looks really good, a whole lotta work there, hope it all works out good (I have faith) so I think when you get this thing fired up and running and such, you need to keep the numbers top secret...and have a huge reveal where everybody on SM can fly out and watch it make the first pass :) (or...

    So, I bought a new ride already!

    looks like a nice project, I almost picked one up, although I don't remember the year, but it was red/maroon color with tan leather interior. Really good condition, with a 5spd. good luck with it!

    dip stick options

    hmmm...I don't know if mine is old or new...all I know is that when I add the amount of oil that the book says (every time I change the oil) it doesn't show up on the dipstick and I always end up adding an extra quart. I have 2 dipsticks of the exact same lenght.....maybe they're both...

    Boost Gauge Question

    OLD THREAD! Hey grimjack, I just bought almost that same gauge, I was wondering how you got it to fit in there...I tore my spare cluster apart and it just seems like there isn't going to be enough space depth wise...just wondering. Thanx

    places to mount boost gauge?

    I just bought the Autometer sport comp 2 and the face looks really similar to the factory face as it is. It's a 0-35psi black face with white numbers which glow through the face white when it's on. I'm trying to fit it in the factory location but not like the ones above. I'm just gonna leave the...

    How do others feel about your Supra?

    my dad said he'll cut my nuts off if I sell it (too much time in it....and he wouldn't be able to drive it any more) my mom asks why I put so much money in it (she works at a honda dealership) and I reply: Because I walked an S2000 on the highway last week (she thinks S2000's are just the...

    wow, MKIII capable of this!?!?

    that would be the greased lightning car, which won at NOPI at Norwalk in Ohio. Originally a 1jz-gte rhd j-spec car, but converted to a single turbo 2jz and full mkiv power train (built toyota auto) and runs low 9's on chrome mkiv rear rims with a 315 wide BFGoodrich drag radial (he says it rubs...

    Making the throttle react quicker...

    my engine does that too....I'll open the butteryfly valve all the way and the k&n will make a whoosh and then it revs...I just figured it took a quick second for all that air and fuel to make the revs jump...it's like 4.3 miles from the turbo to the throttle body when using a factory intercooler...

    i need my car running by tomorrow...

    it can be a pita to make sure the teeth on the belt are just right, but if you read the tsrm it says how much slack there should be between the cam gears, the intake gear and the crankpulley, and the crank pully/tensioner/exaust gear. You may have not set the cps right either...double check...

    Help with Marlin Crawler bushing

    some grease helps here too...I managed to get mine in with no problems, it should have a little flex to it. I also put some grease on the top of it so it would be nice and smooooth :)
