Thanks Mike. Greddy Type S BOV. I'm only running 5psi of boost according to my aftermarket gauge. The stock boost gauge looks like it peaks to 8psi on the vid. I was looking at my autometer and saw just a hair over 5psi. :dunno:

Had a little fun out back on the farm roads behind my neighborhood. This was just a little run from 1st to 3rd gear. 20-70mph. It wasn't really going all that fast. More noise and wheelspin than anything else. Short shift to second gear, had to throttle 2nd cause the car was going a little...

Running stock electronics on that Lexus AFM? I notice you only have one vacuum hose going to the throttle body. Was it because you removed your EGR? Is that port on the throttle body plugged as well? You have no vacuum lines going to or from your BVSV as well. Will that make a difference on...

Yeah, it looks like it. They're notorious for doing that. They're short lived trees that grow big fast, but die fast too. The roots on those trees like to spread out and burst plumbing pipes and break slab foundations. If you ever plant one on your property you have to be very considerate of...

Good thing it was just your thermostat housing gasket and nothing major. That's a scary sight seeing that big tree fondling your poor car.

That's good news. Well, we went out for a cruise last night. With my wife and son came with me. Yeah, we do it up illegal style. After cruising around for a bit my wife was asking me what all do I need to do to get it legal and road worthy. She really enjoyed cruising in it last night...

What kind of budget did you give yourself? Can you turn your own wrenches?

I don't know about power, but with your mods at 10-11psi on a manual boost controller I was running 13.70's@103 2.1sixty footers. That was on street tires, stock CT26 with stock elbow, stock fuel system, Cartech intercooler, Cartech 2.75" DP, HKS 75mm catback, and Saab BOV mod. I never knew...

Sounds good. I bet you can't wait to have it running. I can't wait either. David, did happen to be your tree or your neighbors?

I have an '01 Mazda protege 5spd as a daily. Great on gas & reliable. That's what you should be looking for. Stop trying to get another sporty car for a DD. That just leads to temptation to modify. Plus your insurance will be higher with a car of that type. Another thing, I would hold...

Damn David. How bad is the damage? Your luck is bound to change. You better go buy a lotto ticket.

That is dirt cheap. I just asked about a group dyno here in town and they'd do for 3 pulls for $40. No BBQ either. You guys need to take advantage of that. Even if your car isn't tuned, or no mods at all you should at least get a baseline. Support your local dyno day, and there'll be more...

I don't see why it would be your timing cover. You used OEM Toyota gaskets and did it right. It's been a couple of hours now. Did you figure it out? On another note, I changed my wifes expansion valve on the Accord and recharged it with freon. Success! A/C is working again. Now that I'm...

I take it you're ex-military being able to use the hobby shop on base. Are you currently looking for work?

You know you want to do that shit y0! You can slam it and get that low stance, and raise it when you need to go over speed bumps or steep driveways.

3" exhaust from turbo back, K&N filter, Porsche or Saab BOV mod, and a manual boost controller set right at 12psi. Do that first and report your butt dyno results. Will not get you 300-350rwhp, but you will definately feel it. Have fun for a little while then go to the next stage. I would...

Instead of rebuilding the 7m, and then nickle and diming your way to turbo it have you considered an engine swap? By the time you add everything up you're going to look back and think, "Damn... I should have gone 2J in the first place."

What all do you need done? There's Miller's on Grissom. They're good from what I've heard.

Yeah, I'm over here on the other side of Culebra and 1604.
