Wow, that was fast...

Yep, it couldn't keep a composite gasket from blowing out. Using a 2.0mm Cometic which brought compression to 8.3:1.

My engine was overheated so badly the block surface was machined 12 thou before it was clean again. I also went .020 over pistons and it's working fine so far! 195,000 before the rebuild, too If you do rebuild- replace all of the rubber coolant lines on the car- do not re-use a single one if...

lol @ ""In spite of our investigations, we have not actually been able yet to find a defect" in electronic throttle-control systems, Mr. Smith told the scientific panel, which is looking into potential causes of sudden acceleration." and "But the findings—part of a broad, ongoing federal...

Awww, it's Mike's first post :cry: :D I'm so happy you've decided to join us! ...when will you be getting your supra, then? lol

Nice driving Ken! Showed Maj. Fury what's up and made it out unharmed! Well, BS could have used the airtime... ;) edit: BS= Brittney Spears, lol

...and now is my chance to be able to beat Sean's Supra in a race! Seriously- his car was stupid fast on 20psi- I'd have loved to feel it at 30 with better traction!

He missed- I can still see faded plastic... lol

mmkay, when not using a 2-step, anti-lag, or brake boosting. I was mainly citing the turbo's lag and the N/A's more aggressive gearing.

You don't hear much of my car until he's way ahead. My cousin called out "On 3 honks" but then the Camaro just floored it. I really wish we had started even (and at the same time) but it was still a blast.

Glad to hear it's working as it should now! Have you messed with the SPR setting anymore? I think you'll be able to get that CT to come online really fast using that setting! I believe CHI2K10 is July 21st - 25th

I'm not sure on this, but I think that the older turbos had 3.91 gears where all the N/A's have either 4.1 or 4.30 gears. 89+ turbos have 3.73 rear ends. I am def. not 100% on that, though.

Hi Sean- glad to see you about again! Now post a picture of your tortured brakes for everyone to enjoy...after you replace them, of course! We can also do some comparative videos too!

lol N/A's always get the jump, but once that turbo's online they just reel you in!

needs clutch...

Post up some pics of the old thrust bearing and collar- I wanna see it! (and the main bearings, too!)

Sean has decided that he wants to be able to be able to comment on his friends' threads and help people here more. He's an absurdly nice guy who will help anyone out if he can, but he gets into trouble being a 22 year old male ;) That aside, I have a couple calibrations that I can modify for...

That camera looks like so much fun! I was just marveling at the side-mount video in post 754- your paint is so clean and the reflection because of it looks so awesome!

lol, SIDG

I'm using a P-trim wheel, and we had cut the ID of the housing to correct a clearance problem with the wheel. It was rubbing due to a slight eccentricity of the center cartridge so we just cut to housing to match. Didn't have the turbo cutting out, just had a raspy noise on startup- wheel...
