    Just Got My Probe Pistons Back From the Coater But........

    I still think it was damaged BEFORE it was put in the box as cardboard doesn't scratch aluminium ;) A quick note to anyone having pistons coated it needs to be done AFTER the block is bored and honed. The issue being you don't know how uniform or thick the coating is on each piston so when...

    Trying to decide on the backside for my GT40r.

    I've just done the whole "musical turbine housing" thing with my T04z and can understand Figgie's PoV 100% and wouldn't run a mismatch again. a 42 with a tight AR while it may work on a low capacity engine will be a surging/choking horrible thing in normal use (ie: NOT steady state output...

    Trying to decide on the backside for my GT40r.

    All I said was YOUR specific post offended me. I'm not getting into or taking sides in the argument.

    I have 400rwhp right now and see 28-US-mpg in combined City/Hwy driving and better on Hwy only so yes it can be done :)

    Blew A Head Gasket Today

    I'd drain what coolant is left and park it. Danger is if you refill it and it sits without running the coolant will gravity feed into the chamber them leakdown past the rings into the pan and trash the bearings on the next start.

    Harmonic balancer......

    Ditto here on Whiteline sway bars and Teflon Crankscrapers, I wanted them and was happy to foot the bill for the prototypes everyone else getting the benefit is a side effect. What goes around comes around I jumped on the ATI Damper once it was available :)

    That is offensive enough in itself for me to question why are you here at all?

    Blew A Head Gasket Today

    Coolant was low enough in the engine so on the flat it was below the gasket surface, soon as you got it on an incline the coolant would run towards that end up past the gasket and into the chamber burn and miss. The Bad news with all this is running it at all with the coolant that low is...

    Does the JDM GTE ecu have a speed limiter?

    I'm with Shaeff on this if you guys don't start actually reading posts and answering with correct information I'm going to start handing out week bans until you do... Once is bad enough but there are a vew repeat offenders that aren't getting the message. IF YOU DON'T KNOW FOR SURE STFU...

    Autometer cluster idea

    TNR: Sorry never used a stock ECU in my car so NFI ;) I would imagine in the J Spec cars it's for the 180kph SpeedCut not sure why a USD would have it or if it's actually used (maybe ABS/TEMS? but I thought each had it's own controller)

    7M-GTE FEELER THREAD ... Accessory Pulley Kits!

    Maybe offer 2 WP pullies? One "Street" One "Race"? My biggest concern is for the lightly modded guys that have a less than perfect cooling system slowing the pump could be enough to tip them over the edge heat wise and 7M's are notorious for commiting HariKari via the Rad ;) Welcome to...
