The proper term for expressing torque.

Deegreing? Are you asking about setting the cam someplace other than "straight up"?

Pretty good thread, as long as you let the good info sink in.

If your head and block are flat, and you are using an OEM style composite gasket, yes, you bought the wrong stuff. You should have just bought a six pack of beer.

Nitrous setups have been designed just for spool. A small hit that leans out the motor early, but shuts down the spray as RPM increases. Air itself isn't such a good idea, as it will cool the exhaust too soon. The hot gasses expanding is what drives the turbine.

This gives Reg Reimers build page more intrest I think.

I haven't bought anything from them, but one review doesn't make a bad business.

It is a vacuum resevoir.

About the same time I became a self proclaimed mechanic.

It would be nice if this infor was in the anual TSB updates. It wasn't.

Well, my boost gauge one the CT has hit the top at that point. :biglaugh:

From the pictures it looks like a, well, bad design. The FFIM should be one the last mods you do to your car. And then only if you can afford to leave some grunt on the table. Even with the longer intercooler routing.

Toyota is losing market share? I think GM and Ford would be suprsised to hear that. Don't get me wrong. I am pissed that BWM sells our car in a reasonable price range, the 335i, with a 3.0 I-6 TT model, and not Toyota. Fuckers.

There is a change that put the oil capactity at 5.0, up from the 4.2.

The turbo is dead. You are well under the 200 horsepower GE rating. Low compression, plus its inability to spool equals dog.

IJ has pictures of the two blocks. More beef, probably practice for the upcoming 2JZ.

I flew home, picked up the car in storage and drove to Vegas. Hopefully I will make it more than once every 10 years.

That sounds about right. Damn close in fact. Push it to fuel cut(yeah right) and you hit 140.

I drove 2100 miles each way last year. After flying 7500 miles each way.

And that's what it is all about. Although I saw a newer Corona and a 20 year old Crown the other day.
