    Upgraded Radiator

    I just traded my Mishimoto Radiator to a local guy because Mishimoto puts fan shroud mounts on their radiators, where his Koyo had none. Aside from slightly hogging out the lower rad mounts, the Mishimoto fit well with the fan shroud and even the double AC fans fit correctly! (that double fan...

    Limequat's 4.2l I6 Swap

    Ban low-performance drivers, not high-performance cars, says I! Street signs are there for the former so they don't kill the rest of us.

    Turbo Surge Question

    Yes I did, but what I did is not easily undone. When you know how the SSQV is supposed to work, it's easy to find out why it doesn't. Picture of ssqv: (You will want to load it up in another window to see what I talk about) http://www.streetunit.com/v/vspfiles/photos/hks_ssqv_diagrams_1-3.gif...

    Steve's mildly out-of-control build

    Ah, I knew the brakes were bad, I just didn't have time/motivation to fix them. More power=need brakes. There's my motivation, staying alive/keeping the Supra together. I have no problem driving this beast anywhere! I'll have to bring a couple special tools (crow's foot wrench) but if you're...

    Turbo Surge Question

    I know that my ssqv (knockoff edition, lol) surged badly whenever I revved the engine, even with the CT26. After some research, I found that there is a check valve that gets contaminated/leaks to cause the pull action to not happen if you don't run the filter HKS sends with it. Eventually I just...

    Steve's mildly out-of-control build

    I am already dealing with trivial issues, so Ihope I get the wringed out before long. Here's a sample! Trivial issue #1: Uncontrollable boost! Out of the box it did 19psi, and I've only got it down to 15 so far. Wastegate cracks at 6psi right now and I get 16psi with no boost control. And yes...

    Leecheater's rebuild, getting there

    Unless you want to completely tear the engine down you can't get 100% of it out. Best plan would be get it back together and idle it for 15-20 minutes then change the oil *Edit: and change the filter, too*. Use cheap 5w-30 oil since it will only be used for very short times (and be cold), but...

    Leecheater's rebuild, getting there

    I'd get new seals anyways, especially after having the crank polished. Front and rear mains at minimum. I'd also change out the thrust bearings (even if you didn't order them). If you need RTV/FIPG for the oil pans, I have lots of Toyota black here, I can even deliver Supra parts in my Supra...

    Leecheater's rebuild, getting there

    Dan, saw the pics last night, I'm glad they didn't wear to the steel backing. I hope your car is back up and running soon!

    92nsx's supra build

    The one I got from Titan is a pump kit- it comes with the pickup and a new pressure hose. p/n 950-0155 $190 shipped from their Ebay store (item #140406786519) Just be sure to have a better fuel pressure regulator to deal with the extra flow. I also ran a dedicated 12awg power supply to a control...

    K20 civic vs 7M mk3

    Nothing huge, but I am having trouble keeping the boost in check. I have pulled my downpipe about 8 times this weekend, porting it out and opening up flow around the wastegate. Got it down to 16psi from 20, so I am making progress... Edit: you wouldn't believe how fast that car was, for being a...

    92nsx's supra build

    If you want a quiet pump, I vote for a mk4 TT like me! I can/will even help run a new voltage supply wire to make sure you have enough power getting back there! If you want cheap and easy, many choose Walbro 255's. I'm not a fan of the "coffee grinder" noise they make, though...

    K20 civic vs 7M mk3

    Notice: This happened last night and there are no pics and no videos- you'll just have to trust me on this one. Combo kill! I recently got my LIPP boss Sr 61mm turbo and fuel system installed onto my car, so Sean (funky_monkey58) and I were street tuning it to try and get rid of some irritating...

    Looking at 7MGTE Ignition Alternatives...

    I have had very good luck with my 2JZ-GE VVTI ignition system. I am using AEM and am am using the DH61 igniter that was matched to these exact coils too, and I have not had any issues yet.

    Injector size 7MGTE..14mm or 12?

    Pretty sure they are 11mm injectors (not 100%), but for sure not 14mm.

    Steve's mildly out-of-control build

    Confirmed my dyno date as June 16th at noon. I's going to DB performance in Rogers, same place as Dan's 2JZ monster got tuned at! Maybe I should start a guessing game thread too- Kenny's was a blast to watch the reponses to! Not too sure what prize I can offer...maybe a smiley? lol

    Steve's mildly out-of-control build

    Thanks guys! I'll get a video up tonight when I take Veronica for a ride ;) Emilio- I might have to take you up on that! Jeremy- I'm fairly sure it does not have outputs on it. If you want an OEM with outputs look for a radio from a Scion. They are equipped with them from the factory (part...

    Steve's mildly out-of-control build

    I plan on getting an antenna adapter to try using the diversity (glass) antenna to see if its a signal problem, otherwise I'll tear into the radio to find out what's wrong. Today! Both the drive belt and vacuum block arrived so I got right to installing them both. Took it for a docile cruise to...
