Technical definition of Genius as requested. A genius is a person who has exceptional intellectual ability, creativity, or originality, typically to a degree that is associated with the achievement of unprecedented insight. There is no scientifically precise definition of genius, and the...

I've found the problem but can't find out why my car won't act right without fixing this problem. Perhaps make sure that you installed the EGR correctly along with all the needed gaskets and didn't strip the stud on the head when installing the EGR valve...

Yep, that's the driftmotion catback. I'm using the driftmotion downpipe as well. It's got a deep tone to it while cruising and really screams when you open it up.

Check out around 2:20 and watch this supra have flames like a flame thrower kit. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OOLzKW0nhsI

Code 34 is fuel cut. Have you done the lex/550 and supporting mods? If you have and you're still hitting fuel cut, you can try adjusting the adjustment screw on the lex afm to try and raise fuel cut a little more.

Okay then I stand corrected, I had seen several times where head bolts were normally torque to yield. Guess this is just another toyota over-engineered thing.

So many problems that keep randomly disappearing..

But over 20 years would you really want to reuse the stock head bolts? Since the head bolts are torqued to 75 ftlbs, they're in their elastic zone which with added heat such as a BHG would cause them to stretch no? If I'm wrong let me know.

Not stretch stock bolts, funny. I wonder why stock bolts are torque to yield..

Don't forget to tell the machine shop the specific RA required for which MHG you use.

The felpro gasket with arp head bolts will work as long as the head isn't badly warped. If the head is badly warped, it would need to be milled flat again to assure a good HG seal. Don't add any copper gasket sealer or anything like that, just make sure that both surfaces are clean. Run the...

Albert quoted me $200 to rebuild my HX35 which I think is a fair price.

Probably valvetrain noise, what oil are you using and when was the last oil change? On a side note, when was the last time the valve shims?

For those that like to not read the entire post.

The only thing that worries me about rebuilding my own turbo, I can't balance it. I'm too afraid that it'll be ever so slightly off balance and at 100k+ rpms, that can be dangerous.

Before you put this together, I suggest drilling/tapping/helicoiling the exhaust studs. http://store.driftmotion.com/static/i-716exhauststudkit.php

Where did you add the EWP in the system? I'm hoping to get my car to rev to 8k so I want to make sure that everything will handle it before I raise the rev limit from stock.
