    CHEAP, DIY water injection system

    Keep in mind, this write up was for camry owners. I forgot all about it until today but you should be able retro fit this to our cars using the same basic ideas. It was written by a guy who really knows his stuff. He is not only an mkiv supra owner but has a 450+ (to my knowledge) HP '94...

    like i said....no stock, Fluidyne radiator :icon_bigg . Highway is fine, however the undertray is a necesary item for not only cooling but MPG as well. I will have a better idea of how it reacts to longer drives today...i have a 2 hour trip ahead of me. Read here...

    No more jiggle valve, hacksawed it off. I saw what you were talking about right away, how if it sets just right under pressure it would cause a block. You hit the nail on the head. I understand the thermal peaks your talking about however, keep in mind these peaks are completely dependent...

    pulstar spark plugs

    Im not saying this product is all its cracked up to be....all im saying is just b/c companies arn't snatching it up, doesn't mean its not a dramatically improved product....especially with the average car company where costs are a concern. How long was ABS around w/o it being implemented in...

    T-stat issue resolved and why it happened. With pics.

    First off thanks for pointing this issue out to those who helped...even if it may have been frustrating for you :biglaugh: . Here's why it was happening: I don't know why the builder decided to do this but he had some type of reasoning behind it since he supposedly builds 7m's all the...

    Cannot find ct26 turbine to DP gasket, please point me in the right direction

    uhm...would the black RTV silicone stuff work (i know that's high temp one...just don't know exactly how high)? Or is the copper stuff different and work at higher temps??

    My apparent thermostat issue? or is it?

    winter time is the only time the temps go crazy :aigo: . I just figured since during normal outside temps (40-90) the temp is almost always 180 (unless it was after a longer boost pull) i thought i'd start there. Apparently im wrong. 190 it is...

    My apparent thermostat issue? or is it?

    And i quote: "BTW - the stock ECU looks for 176-210 degs as normal ops temps. Below 176, you are in warm-up enrichment...above 210, the ECU pulls timing." I remembered the 176* part, which in turn would mean the 180* would work as well....only reason i asked...no reason to get mad, just...
