    tunning @ 16 psi am I crazy???????????

    It's like high stakes gambling, and the house is a 7m with a stock hg. The odds are against you.

    Ok, we KNOW it's going to suck... so who's going anyway?

    Our local even organized by someone at SF looks like it will have over 250 import cars, and most of the best mk4's from so cal are included. They rented an entire parking lot and a whole theater!

    Exhaust manifold stud upgrade

    If someone wants fine thread on both sides of the 7/16 studs I can make a kit for an extra $10.

    Exhaust manifold stud upgrade

    If you had a 10mm helicoil strip out you can use the new helicoil tap in that hole still. So yes, you can pull out the old 10mm helicoil, drill it to 29/64 with the supplied bit, and tap it for the 7/16 helicoil.

    Exhaust manifold stud upgrade

    UPDATE Because the cost of the parts and time required to drive around picking up parts, I am barely breaking even on these kits. The $65 does not include the paypal fees and the shipping will be USPS parcel post. If you want faster shipping please send an extra $5. The paypal fee is...

    Exhaust manifold stud upgrade

    It is easier to tap good course threads then fine in the head. The corse threads are taller so it bites better in the aluminum.

    Hey Mr ball bearings, we are talking about a $100 turbo here, not a Garrett!

    A little how to for Car PC

    One word of advice, if you use a monitor without a vga input the text will be blurry and almost unreadable when running windows on a 7" screen. The cheapest decent vga 7" widescreen monitor is a little over $250...

    1jzgte Vs 2jzgte (aristp)

    I have heard the opposite, that making them true 2jz twins causes the rear turbo to fail prematurely. Can't say I 've tried it though.

    Is this too good/cheap to be true?

    1.05ar hot side is too big for a mildly built 7m. I'm not going to put a turbo like that on a engine we built :biglaugh: QUOTES FROM THE EBAY AUCTION: "Modeled after the Great spooling Borg Warner" (with a 1.05 ar?!?) ROTFLOL Borg Warner is the hottest thing on the streets YO! "FITS...

    tunning @ 16 psi am I crazy???????????

    I disagree. Things like you are talking about are the exception, not the rule. There is PLENTY of real world experience out there that says the stock head gasket is unreliable and prone to failure at any boost level.

    Driftmotion customer project: 2jz mk3

    It's alive! Not bad considering there's no air temp sensor, coolant temp sensor, or o2 sensor. Only codes showing up are for those 3 items, which is excellent! We just started it a few times for maybe 10 seconds to make sure it runs.

    Official Whine About Your Unreliable 7M Thread

    I have been flogging my 7m at least every other day for the past several years at a boost setting never less then 18psi. The only thing I have had to change is spark plugs. Of course that was after spending many many thousand dollars building it with forged pistons, mhg, arp everything, and...

    tunning @ 16 psi am I crazy???????????

    Running 16 psi on a stock head gasket with stock bolts, no problem. Thats great actually! .....because I have HKS metal headgaskets, ARP studs, bearings and engine gasket sets in stock and ready to ship as soon as your blows tomorrow!

    Ok, we KNOW it's going to suck... so who's going anyway?

    Theater hop and get two retarded movies for the price of one!!!! Make sure to get the "best value" $6.50 Coke, and a "best value" $8.65 popcorn, then "make it a combo" and get a M&M's for only $4.25 more! If your really hungry try a delicious rubbery cold pretzel for $5.20!
