    driving a TRANSFORMER!!!!

    Way back I had a 1972 Monaro Coupe that was Bright Red and very very "Christine" windows would go up/down, wipers on/off, radio would go off now and again it'd lose ALL electricity for no reason, gave it to my Sis to drive and she had 0 issues with it.... ;)

    Walbro 255 vs. Stock Fuel pump?

    Dunno but if you find one make sure it's a built in Germany one and NOT a Czech made one... (had 2 fall over within weeks of each other under minimal load)

    7m maximum RPM

    Sad to say from places like this...... Moron A say's "Blah blah" Moron B say's "I agree you're so smart" Moron C tells Moron's d>z and all of a sudden it's gospel.. This is why I try so hard to keep our tech sections factual and accurate to head off the stupidity at the pass. Back then...

    low oil pressure?

    It's not so much the pressure but the volume and the Drain's ability to clear it from the Turbo. They use a simple labyrinth seal (think maze) so if the drain is at all restricted it overflows the "seal" and looks like a James Bond smoke screen. When you install a restrictor it reduces the...

    2010 Toyota Prius brake problems. Easy fix, amazing documentary

    The LPG Carb I was running a few years back was prone to this when pressurised by a Turbo as the throttle blade was offset to the wrong side so boost would hang it open...... 500+rwhp and a stuck open throttle makes an interesting ride, never once was even almost close to crashing though...

    low oil pressure?

    I wish you guys would STOP posting this dribble like it's fact and that "Toyota" designed the Oil system in a 7Mgte to behave this way..... :nono: Pressure is resistance to flow, Not enough flow = less pressure, flow in this case being volume... where does the "high volume" part of the above...

    new here I got a question tho.

    hmmmm the dodgy LPG fitter may have screwed with the wiring for the pump as LPG uses it's own safety switch to shut off LPG when there are 0 rpm and they use that box to switch modes. (never played with it when it was stock and just assumed that behaviour was the norm, 5 accepted)

    new here I got a question tho.

    LOL mine used to idle fine with no AFM plugged in! (caught me a few times when I forgot to plug it in after working on it drove it on LPG ran out switched to Gas and all it would do was sit there an idle then die the second you touched the pedal.)

    Auto Tranny wont shift into 1st or 2nd gear while in "D"

    Best BOV?

    Using a pair of type 3 TurboSmarts here, work well just a little small for a SurgeMonster turbo like the 04z I use. (hence 2x)
