    Tommy's car almost done!

    Nice! I got a 200 point score for a round a few nights ago and I got my veteran knife and pistol badges and a gold medal at the same time! Being a gaming nerd is fun!

    More woofer = more gas?

    Ok, now consider that the alternator is only about 50% efficent, so make that 3.2hp into 6.4hp.

    More woofer = more gas?

    No way! The alternator IS harder to turn when there is a big load on it. People think that just because it spins freely by hand that it's the same under load. That is not true. An alternator creates power from turning mechanical energy into electrical energy, at about a 50% loss. An alternator...

    what are ARP studs and bolts? what do they do?

    The fasteners might be ok, but 108ft/lbs is a whole lot of torque on an aluminum head. Think about it, that is almost double what the stock spec was. At some point the head will deform around the bolt holes and/or between the bolt holes.

    JDM 7m-gte

    If you install new rings without honing the cylinders you are asking for trouble. Same thing goes with installing new rod bearings without resizing the rods. ARP rod bolts are a good idea to install before you resize the rods. New bearings without at least polishing the crank is something you...

    I thought my car was clean, but this thing is incredible!

    Headgasket coating question

    Thanks! Jdub does make some very good points. Our machine shop has a >$100,000 cbn surfacing machine and they make slow passes taking off very little material at a time.

    Headgasket coating question

    IJ is still here "in spirit", I just sent him this: I don't know why scientifically speaking, but my 7m recipe still tastes great after a few years of engine builds. If the surfaces on all 7m's were perfect then we would actually be dead and building the engines in heaven.

    Post your best Pic

    Is it just me or are there a lot more sweet mk3's here then there were a few years ago? It has grown to be a very impressive group of mk3's around here. You know what would be really cool? We need a page of ALL the mk3's on Supramania. I will host it if needed, anyone want to help?

    Headgasket coating question

    That's a good tip on the lock tight! The best thing is that we can talk about why we disagree and still keep it civil, then people can see it from both sides before they make their decision. I argue not just to be right, but to give the advice I feel will help people. If I'm wrong I have no...
