Letting in more air/fuel but not changing the timing to account for the change. I could be wrong though of course.

I wonder how the ecu is going to like the bc stage 2 cams..

Do you also think the speedo and tach are accurate as well?

so wait, you can tell me the exact psi inbetween those massive gaps.

Nope. That just means your clutch isn't fully releasing.

Actually if its a true labyrinth seal, there's no friction between the seal and the rotating parts. So spinning the impeller wouldn't affect anything, as long as you're not moving it with compressed air..

It's been said the dash gauge is VERY inaccurate, I will be updating all of my dash gauges with newer more accurate gauges and sensors. I'll be cutting out the holes in the gauge cluster for my new gauges, going for that stock look.

I know that it's corner to corner on opposite ends from the inside out, as for bolt size though, not sure. http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/TSRM/MK3/manual.aspx?S=EM&P=55

Hmm, this really does make me want to finish my HX35 setup faster.. My 57 trim is also a DM rebuild that was stored dry before I purchased it, then it sat on my engine for around 6 months before I had everything to finish/install it.

Any update?

89jdm7m, I've actually seen that before.. IIRC there's a pin that needs to line up on the back side and people in a hurry can't get it to seal completely by just pushing it on there so they use the bolts to draw it up, thus pushing the pin through the rear timing cover. That's why many people...

Grandavi, I believe this is the term you're looking for. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labyrinth_seal It's the same seal used on most turbine engines that I've worked on. It works like this, the pressure on one side of the seal is greater than the other side, keeping the oil from seeping through.

You must be referring to the spark plug magnifying glass.

Instead of assuming your rings are still good and everything is in proper condition, run a compression check. Valve stem seals normally smoke the most at cold starts. How is your PCV? Is everything still hooked up properly? Pull off your hot pipe leading to the intercooler and the downpipe...

No, I'm agreeing with you. He's just assuming the car is rich because he's read that lex/550 goes rich.

You'll have to have a lot of bolt ons to make a upgraded ct turn 400 rwhp.

Okay so I'm hearing a slight knock inside the car, don't know if it's engine related or just my downpipe hitting the transmission as I haven't been under to check. The sound isn't audible from the engine bay but it is from the interior, it does go away with a slight rev(1k rpms). I have...

He doesn't know if it's rich nor lean, that is speculation because he doesn't have a wideband. Suprapowaz, you would want vf/e1 at or near 2.5 volts all the time throughout the rev until it switches to open loop, then you can adjust the afr with a safc or similar. The vf being 2.5 means the...

No, I don't see 2k being enough. Turbo/intercooler/full 3" exhaust/bigger fuel pump these alone will cost you most of the 2k..

But if the clutch drives the fan, and the ls400 clutch is the proper rotation for the engine, I didn't think blade pitch would matter. Or am I having a brain fart, kind of like how a head wind can make a plane fly backwards but not fall from the sky.
