    Hardpipes

    I think you're seriously confused. Why would you add washers to your Blow Off Valve? (BOV?) Are you calling the wastegate a BOV? The wastegate is located ON the turbo, looks like the bottom of a soda can. People will commonly shim the wastegate with washers to increase boost (assuming it's...

    Does the JDM GTE ecu have a speed limiter?

    Your own key word is OUR cars. Our cars were not sold in the Japanese domestic market. READ his question! I believe you to be correct. Thank you. I doubt it. Make up your mind. What I'm getting at here, is that if you don't know, don't open your mouth! Seriously, guys, this is the TECH...

    ANY undampened crank pulley will tear apart your motor. This includes the OBX, Unorthodox, etc... The ATI is the best for our cars. Get it, enjoy it, boost happy.

    Learn me some HID knowledge

    IMO, it'd be pretty easy using the FX35 projector housings. If you set the projector housing more forward in the H4 housing, created a shroud for it so it looked good, there would be plenty of room. If I had the extra coin just laying around, I'd build a set. Keith H. is another good guy to...

    Me VS a Turbo integra

    There was a turbo Integra in my town putting down around 350fwhp. I never got to run him, though. :( He blew it up, pretty much destroyed the forged pistons from what I've been told.

    S2K projectors are great, too. The TSX are right behind them, and much easier to find, and a bit cheaper, too. I recommended the fx35 projector housings because they're bi-xenon, and the TSX lenses because they provide a wider spread. IMO, an OEM retro really is the only way to go, unless you...

    ^ Meh, they're cheaper than a new OEM unit.

    Yep, the crappy plastic (or glass) housings would not be to reflect the light, but only to house the REAL projector lens. The FX35 projector housing is just that, the projector housing. The TSX lenses are better lenses for that projector, and fit right on. You end up with a cutoff like this...

    Replace EVERY bushing in the entire chassis. Reinforce the rear subframe. Change all fluids (I know you have a new motor, but what about the tranny and diff?) Full flow oil cooler system w/ accusump and bypass filter. Coolant filter (You'd be surprised what's floating around in the cooling...

    Personally, I think a TFX projector retrofit into crap ebay housings would be best. But, I digress. :) (Yes, I did indeed mean to say TFX, Acura TSX clear lenses mated to Infinity FX35 Bixenon projectors) Not sure if it'd fit in the Supra's buckets, though... That way you could use a true HID...

    Driveshaft Carrier Bearing

    I'm not getting into this argument, as it's been covered countless times here on SM, but are you implying that a 2 piece DS will whip as much as a one piece? Take a long piece of pasta, throw it in some boiling water. Now take it out and do the jumprope with it. Now do the same with a piece of...

    Very true, but I'm getting close! LOL. I can't wait to start to modify this car, too. I should really just finish the Supra, but I'm already looking into boosting the M3. :( I can't stop! I'm so mod-happy it's ridiculous!

    LOL. And when you fall out of the Supra while jumping a 4.5 foot high bar, you'll regret it!
