    strut bar myths

    It's just basic geometry. Take a cardboard box with the ends open and flex it it's a big wobbly mess even though it's got 4 sides (this roughly replicates the front subframe/shock towers and Placebo Bar) If you triangulate the corners it'll become more ridgid and resist the flexing.

    gte block with ge parts.

    And the problem with that attitude is this is the tech section.... If people aren't corrected this will turn into "StupidMania", we spend a lot of time preventing this happening.

    why do you make your supra fast?

    Because I'm a "tinkerer" I can't help but pull things apart to see how they work and make them better if possible. Always been this way it's something I can't help ;) Add to this the motto "If some is good more is better and too much is just right"

    hks wastegate-what happens if you use the top nipple?

    If you plumbed to the wrong nipple it wouldn't open at all and you'd have punctured a rear tire after you ran over the crank and rods ;)

    Rings Gap.....

    Rough rule of the thumb is 4 thou per inch of bore diameter 1st ring and 5 thou per inch for the 2nd ring. For high output/boost motors I add a thou to the end numbers to prevent it closing an end gap.

    Intake spacer scam!!!

    Phelonic spacers worked back in the day on Carb motors as it helps prevent boiling the fuel. You could make the same power for longer not more power.... Thye're prone ot failure if you backfire the motor.

    Let's play a game, who's car would yours mimic...

    Having said that I have been inspired by a few cars here, not to the point I'd mimic them in any way shape or form but more to the point it's made me lift my game and do better. I came from a race background where "looks" were a very low priority and function was king but slowly I've spent...

    dose size really matter???

    AR plays a big part in gate sizing as well. Larger the AR the less gate you'll need.
