    timing set

    You can "reset" anything in our computer. You can remove DTC's that have been repaired by removing the ECU fuse for 30 seconds or more. If the problem isnt fixed, the code will just come back. BPU is a Mark Tozer creation, or so he says. Basic performance upgrade is what it means.

    Wiring specifically for the pump and spark? You need the EWD. The only thing I can think of is a wire is grounded and blowing an EFI fuse. More like an EFI relay not working. Your CPS can ohm correctly and still be bad. I havent seen too many faulty CPS's, mostly faults in the wiring.

    Question About Backpressure

    The 60mm exhaust is specificly for the 7MGE. Putting on the Dragger wont hurt the engine. But you will lose low speed torque.

    Engine bay detailing

    Uhh, no. The OEM clamp works best. They are very easy to install and remove, and dont need tightening. You dont use hose clamp pliers to install/remove them if that helps. Use long needle nose pliers and just squeeze.

    Not only does he look like him, he acts like a total dueche bag too. And he wears big dark sunglasses indoors.

    Which oil do YOU use??

    Not true. Wax(parafin) is an additive. And pretty much all your name brands use it. Maybe not synthetic. Not to say Pennsylvania crude oil didnt have more. Pennzoil used to be from Pennsylvania crude oil. So was Quaker State. They had a lot of sulfur content, too much in fact. But with the...

    Steelers Won It !!

    You know, Cowher's batting average is still very poor. 1 title in 10 appearances. Kind of like the Braves. Congratulations steel town. A solid win.

    Valve Shim Adjustment worksheet

    It isnt that hard to do if you have the correct tools. There is two you need until you are good at it. The repair manual probably has the SST number. It is a odd shaped pliar that you grab the cam with and turn. Then there is a 5 inch piece of metal with the ends that have an edge cut on them...

    11 MPH OFF! and some other difficulties

    That is actually backwards. Taller gearing increses speed. Think about it for a minute. I am assuming he does have to short a tire. The sotck diameter is approximately 24.7 inches. Each tire will vary slightly.

    BOSS 550 Dyno Video!

    Fisrt off, very nice work done to the car. That is how you kicks some ass. As a long time 5.0 Mustang owner, let me share a JZA80 joke with you. What do 300 hp, 400 hp, 500 hp Supras have in common? A 12 second time slip. I hope his car isnt one of those.

    Which oil do YOU use??

    You will get rodknock before that happens. I use whatever name brand is on sale at Wal-Mart that week. 5W-30 for the winter and 10W-30 for the winter.

    *Coilovers*

    In my opinion... the best coilovers are the stock Toyota units. Soft and compliant is the way to go.

    emisions

    By the standards set in all 50 states by the federal government, that is a failure. If your population density is low enough, enforcement is not required. By the book, you can not tamper with emission equipment that is properly running. And then, you can only fix it. HC is unburnt fuel...

    Well how nice!

    That isnt too much a difference. But you might feel it. Does it feel like a Toyota 6 cylinder, or a Chevy Corsica?
