    7M Block is better than 2JZ Block

    I have many hippie friends. If ASE is so simple, lets see who can pass engine performance (which has nothing to do with modding) besides jetjock. Engine performance deals with computerized engine control systems mostly. And then, you still are not ASE certified, as it requires 2 years EXPERIENCE...

    Error in TSRM on page FI-50?

    My 91 EWD does not match the fold out in the back of the 91 repair manual. It isn't way wrong either, but there are chasis differences. Since the car rarely needs repair, I don't have them out often to compare what all is different. The injectors do not all open and close at the same time...

    I fucking hate rachael ray

    If you wait, then you already know that. Don't you do political research? Those that go to church vote conservative 3:1, those that do the opposite vote liberal. Same with car buying. Gallup to answer your question.

    7M Block is better than 2JZ Block

    You should be because you proved nothing. A few times you repeated what somebody said and just reworded it. And another thing, you can not get an ASE cert for DIAGNOSTIC REPAIR from Autozone. But ASE decided to test for basic parts knowledge also. They are not the same. If you understand the...

    Error in TSRM on page FI-50?

    The TSRM is traslated from Japanese, and not everything is correct. There are typos. 4Runners show 1.8 quarts on a drain and fill for the transmission for example, or something like that. And it actually takes 3. You need the factory EWD to go with the repair manual. The fold out wiring...

    I fucking hate rachael ray

    Soccer sucks, so who cares. And economic conservatives are known and proven to tip much more than liberals.

    Starter relay will not switch

    If you put the key in the driver door and lock it, the red light should come on for 30 seconds, then blink. That is letting you know the starting system is disabled. You must unlock the driver door with the key to enable it.

    1j Rod Knock

    Nothing new here. These predictions will all come true. Those that get rodknock in their 7M, will get it in their JZ also. You are the problem. That being said, sometimes shit happens, even to those with proper maintenance. Actually, it is just a design flaw.

    1jz = Torque Monster!

    An F1 engine on the street is crap, you are correct. I do not care how fast it is at 7000 RPM. It is a ricer mentality in the end that says you would rather spin the pump faster than have a bigger pump. The only car that is as smooth and quiet as my stock 7M is the Toyota V8. And it has 8 power...

    1jz = Torque Monster!

    It isn't the amount of torque a JZ delivers, it is when it delivers that is the problem. Totally gutless, I saw them on the dyno at Vegas.

    clutch glaze

    Chances of slipping are not that high with a new disc and pressure plate. But it will probably chatter a good amount. As long as you are in that far, resurface the flywheel. It is as cheap as turning a rotor.

    ground control shock/perches??

    What are you trying to accomplish? As long as the spring does not move, which it should not if installed correctly and has a load.

    I'm leaving

    Maintenance, it is a dirty job, but somebody has to do it. ;)

    I'm leaving

    I will be in from time to time. I have resigned from my employer at the Reagan Test Site. I am going back to Iraq. I won't be at Vegas '07. Time and Nick Jr will be in the way. But '08 is definite for me. My time will be very limited, so you won't be getting my politcal banter. If you miss it...

    Positives to Seafoam?

    Kerosene based solvent.

    *sigh* lack of oil pressure

    As the engine bearings were due to OEM oil systems, the resistance to flow drops. Resistance to flow is pressure. You could have a delivery problem, but I doubt it.

    Positives to Seafoam?

    No back pressure is the desired result. But if the piping is too big, velocity is lost, and then so is scavenging. It isn't back pressure that you want. There is a happy medium to velocity and pressure. Not that this has anything to do with seafoam.

    5m crank in a 7m, or just go 5m?

    I remember the HKS 5M car. With two turbos and a lot of boost it only laid down 250rwhp. The heads just don't flow enough air. I also think better to simply run the destroked 7M. If that is what you want.
