    Holset turbo on 1jz?

    Im your huckleberry. Come to Chi2k7 this year. The fact is, you guys are turning this into a poo flinging contest. Ric, may I suggest that you not insult innovation and experimentation? Being a lemming or a sheep is fine and dandy, but please don't insult. As for the Holset line...

    Holset turbo on 1jz?

    Thats an old IHI. Great turbo if you can get it to mate up with the manifold. You need to shoosh. That 12cm housing will make hp long before 5k. Have you had experience with the Holsets on a 7m?

    shaft play, ct12a

    Thats a death whine. It has very few hours to live. Ct12A TURBINE blades are ceramic. The compressor wheels are aluminum.

    shaft play, ct12a

    Take off the compressor intake hoses and wiggle the shaft. If it moves side to side or front to back - YOU have shaft play. ;-) The problem with the ct12A's turbine is its ceramic. If it does touch the turbine housing, chances are it chipped. Unlike a "rub" from a inconel turbine, the chip...

    shaft play, ct12a

    Ct12a's will either have aluminum going into your engine, or nice dust comming out your down pipe.

    Greddy Turbo's

    Main problem with Greddy is price. Price to buy & price to rebuild. Mitsu turbos are costly.....

    Are there "oil grade" lines?

    No. You'll need to go to any hydraulic (sp?) shop thats near you. Gates, Good year, and Earls all make hose that is fuel & oil rated for high-super high pressure. If the shop is good enough, they will have metric hose. If not, most of our fittings will accept a -4, -5 (metric) or -6 hose.

    Name this turbo

    Appears to be an ITS made unit Aaron. (Nice gun avatar btw its hillarious). Also, you can tell if its a supra sport rear housing if its non magnetic. All of their rear housings are stainless.

    Well, got a new side arm last night from the gun show. Retails for over $255+ in most shops, typically $300+ at retailers (Gander mountain, walmart etc) from what Ive found. I made the guy a deal @ $209. He said no. I whipped out a stack of $20's. Started counting. Guy said errrrrrrrrr...

    Cats Suck

    X2 LOL! I love my cat that I have, but any body else have to do the "test pet"? Come over to kitty. Pet. If kitty purrs, then procede to pet further. If kitty wags tail, pet at your own risk. I hate my cat when he does this crap.

    Hot start problems

    Mine was caused as JJ has stated - a FPU system not working. I never had the problem after I switched to -6 feed lines and a AFPR.

    Welding turbo elbow on compressor outlet

    Exact reason why I stated to use the 5356 rod. Using the 4043 rod is a PITA with cast!
