You know what...I think you're right about the seats being in the Turbo R. I thought they were also in the Turbo A...could be wrong though. The Turbo A did have a 65mm ID throttle body...that I'm sure of ;)

All you have to do is block both ends off...the heater circuit is a closed loop, it will affect nothing if you do so. You could use the block-off "nipple" (from Toyota) that is common on the passenger side block water hard pipe. Here's the schematic...

:rolleyes: Your pic looks like it has a Turbo A bumper duct...does the interior have Recardo front seats? It will say so on the front of the seat and the drivers seat is not powered.

Ok...just checking. The oil pressure sending unit on a JDM motor will not work on a USDM car...it can actually fry the gauge as well ;)

Well...the Republicians did pick up on this. And Kerry says it was directed at Bush...friggin liar. A couple Democratic candidates canceled appearances w/ Kerry...imagine that ;) http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/15499174/?GT1=8618

Was this a JDM motor and did you happen to keep the sending unit that came with it on the motor?

sounds like a ground or the sending unit is bad...I'm leaning toward the sending unit. The oil gauge grounds on the flexible circuit board at the back of the combination meter (the dash)...if it was a ground, it would likely affect more than one gauge.

Oh ya...going to the oil cooler. There's also your tranny fluid lines going to the radiator.

Got mine a few years ago at suprastore.com...it was on sale for $500. The best price I've seen lately is at SupraSport for $565

It was pretty simple...just bent the hangers a little to line them up and used the "donut" type rubber hanger supports available at any auto parts place. I can get you some pics, but it'll have to wait until my car is up on the rack again ;) From memory, the Blitz is 85mm. The Blitz and the...

The issue here was the test pipe...that was the focus...I never said the Blitz NUR wasn't too long. There's obviously two ways to do this: My method: - Adjust the Blitz to fit - Use std length test pipe - Swap test pipe & CAT to pass emissions w/ no adjustment - Swap back with no...

That really pisses me off! That's an insult to every member of the US military...I hope it comes back to haunt him when it's time for his re-election.

You know...that's exactly the way I think :icon_bigg And it is because I really like the Mk III ! I'll question why something is done the way it is and try to figure it out...very often it's not what it seems. And thanks for the compliment ;) A little more pressure is ok in the 7M, but...

Yeah...at least I'm not bored...LOL That's exactly why I did it...I can swap test pipe for CAT at will. Come to think of it, I need to put my test pipe back on :evil2:

Got news for ya...the test pipe is the same length as the CAT...you know, the one that's required to pass emissions? If you use a shorter test pipe, it makes it kinda hard to install the CAT when it's time to do emissions on the car. Calling me names does vividly illustrate one thing...I was...

Well...I guess if tech articles from Valvoline and Shell are theories, then (to use your analogy), the world is round is still a theory as well. ;) I've got a feeling the engineers involved in developing modern lubricants kinda know what they are doing. The rest of the info I posted is from...

I got the Blitz NUR....I like it ;) Not too loud cruising, but when you open her up got a nice throaty roar to it (without the silencer).

I have a PLX...it's a digital display I have mounted on top of my steering column. You have to pay attention to what it's telling you. The AEM has a gauge LED display w/ a digital read out. You still have to pay attention, but the red light LED's give you a visual clue you're going lean...

Ok...here's a little more reading for ya. BTW, you sure did assimilate the info in the above links fast...so, here's a good number of links to engineering articles. Many of these discuss modern lubricants and how they affect moving parts: http://www.iantaylor.org.uk/papers.htm...

LOL...and you base this on? The only thing I had to do with my Blitz was bend a couple of the hangers on the rear of the pipe by the muffler. I just helped a friend of mine install a Blitz NUR and had to do the same thing...the test pipe he used was the same length as mine and fit perfect...
