I'm against electric fans. But for someone who lives so far up north I just might work for you. You don't have hot ass summers like we do.

Why not take your car down the street to one of those muffler and tire shops and let them relocate your hangers? I figure that would be the cheapest fix.

That depends on who will be doing the work. You? Joe's fish, chips, and auto's? Or the Dealership? You can call he stealership and ask them what they would charge you just to replace the rod bearings. Same goes for the small service garage guys. Or you can try and tackle it yourself and...

I would say it was your clutch starting to slip, but then you'd prolly smell that. I remember when I was running my CT26 50trim wheel I used to get wheelspin in second, and a little in third. After a couple of passes down the dragstrip the wheelspin in third went away. Then the wheelspin in...

You can post pics and we'll help you identify it. Usually there are the usual markings on the compressor and turbine housing. Then you can pull the compressor housing and measure the inducer & exducer of the compressor wheel. I would like to know what kind of T4 you have just in case you want...

Some guy named Raymond on 7mpower.com made 422rwhp on an upgraded CT26 57trim. So getting power from CT is doable. I'm going with a T4 set up this time around.

Yeah, you'll need to build up a car like that. You will be going up against other 8-9second sandbaggers. PINKS asks for mid 10 second cars, but much faster cars answer the calling.

Ok, I think I'm going to take things slow and crawl before I walk. I'll be tuning to a tune of 400+rwhp. I'll get used to that, and try to perfect my tuning abilities with this MAP-ECU that I have. Later I'll graduate and go with a bigger turbo, and possibly an AEM stand-alone once I'm ready...

Oh yeah, another question. In the past I've heard/read that guys that were upgrading their CT26's to 60-1, and 62-1's weren't having much luck. They were said to be unreliable by many. If I were to upgrade this T4 I have to a 62-1 wheel with the standard shaft, do you think I would have the...

Thanks Clifton. Anything past 15psi begins to puts me off the map with a 57trim. I guess I can either tune this combo to a healthy mid 400rwhp and be happy, or make plans to go with another turbo to hit higher numbers. Thanks for your comments guys. I'll let you guys know what's going on...

Yeah, I keep playing with the maps and anything over 85% engine volumetric efficiency (VE) puts me off the map on this 57trim. What would you say a 7mgte with a fully ported head run as far as VE? IJ, would you happened to know since you have a ported head?

Yeah, I might keep the dang turbo and try to fine tune my car. If I get bored then I'll consider upgrading it, or buy something else. That guy Raymond on 7mpower.com did 422rwhp with his upgraded CT26 57 trim. I should be able to at least hit that with a REAL T4 57 trim.

*raises eyebrow* Is that a challenge sir? j/k I probably would be happy with 400rwhp, but I want to join the 500+rwhp club. Who doesn't?

I currenty have a true Garrett T04e 57trim with .60 a/r compressor, and .69a/r T4 turbine. I was just wondering what this turbo is capable of with race gas before I tried to upgrade it to a 62-1 compressor wheel. That's if I decide to upgrade it. I might sell this turbo and try to find a T61...

My Supra will not be a daily driver, so more than likely I'll be running race gas when out to the track. But yeah I think you're right, I might as well just buy what I want. I'm really thinking about getting a T61 with a .68 a/r tang hotside.

I tried the 14" perma-cool fan on my car. I installed mine during the cool months of fall time. I worked fine through fall, winter, and early spring. Once summer time was nearing I noticed my temperature was slowly climbing. Then during summer it would spike into the red part. I took off...

I guess I'll start. I ran an upgraded CT26 with a garrett 50 trim wheel. I was running 18psi on that turbo with your common mods. HKS 85mm exhaust, 2.75" downpipe, test pipe, 550cc's, K&N, and some other stuff. I never dynoed my car, but I was running 13.10's @ 111mph. There. Please...

Please list your turbo, boost, and if possible your rwhp. This would really help me narrow down which turbo I should be after. I would like anything over 500+rwhp, and need to know what turbo would get me there. Race gas or not. Please help me. I'd really appreciate it. I found out my...

Someone once told me that he ran straight distilled water with a bottle of water wetter. Does water wetter protect against corrosion?

I guess it doesn't really matter. I've been looking at a couple of 7mpower members, and searched around for other people combos. Looks like alot of guys are running out of their turbos efficeincy range. As long as the turbo contiues to flow more air, and the intercooler cools down the charge...
