    Curious about trans swap.

    It sounds like your wife's car is going to need a turbo auto ecu and the turbo auto wire harness. Iirc the wire harness and ecu from the NA will not work on her turbo car ;).

    Would anyone be interested in a TRD shift knob group buy?

    The reason for the side-by-side pic is to show that they are the same for those lazy people who don't want to look somewhere's and confirm that they are genuine ;).

    Turbo drips oil but not from return lines

    Malloy has a BOSS 550, he hasn't had any problems with the turbo as far as I know... Plus, its oil and water cooled ;).

    Would anyone be interested in a TRD shift knob group buy?

    Someone post up a side by side pic of one off of jay marks and the one on the first page for everyone's reference ;). I will give you a deffinite yay or nay on me being in on the GB once we have feedback on the price.

    turbocharger glowing red!

    If it's stock it shouldn't be running lean, but you never know ;).

    need some help

    No problem ;). Take you block be to the machinist and make sure the head didn't warp when it BHG'd. And while you're having the rear timing cover machined, go ahead and check the RA specs whith your machinist to ensure that they are below 30. Try to have him get them lower than 25-20 if at all...

    Heh, I like the logo on the IC ;).

    need some help

    If the block was "completely bare" then I'd say there was no rear timing plate on it. That plate has to be machined with the block or when the head is bolted down that becomes the high point on an otherwise flat surface ;). That is most likely why you have BHG.

    power on stock internals?

    On a properly assembled and running STOCK 7m-gte it SHOULD handle about 500 HP ;).

    need some help

    Did you have the backing plate thing (forget the name of it) bolted to the block when it was machined? That could be your culprit right there ;). That, and/or improper RA spec and wrong torque pattern used...

    power on stock internals?

    Why do you have .40 over pistons? Did the block already have .20 overs in it and needed machining? Getting the biggest pistons for the car is only going to give minimal power gains. Now if you run those pistons on that block and for reason something fucks up and you have to redo the cylinder...

    Questions about new pistons and bearings...

    What are you power goals? If it's under 450-500 and the car is "running like a champ", just make sure everything is tightened to spec, bearings are good, HG and block/deck surfaces flat and smooth, oil pump and water pump are ok, and maybe a few other small things that need to be checked on (oil...

    HKSS BOV MAKING TROUBLE.....

    The whole purpose of the MAFT-Pro is so you will not have to dyno NEARLY as much as you would with a standalone unit. The MAFT-Pro has a base tune to get the car running once it's been wired up correctly, then it's all in the fine tunning. Once you have the car running just right and how you...

    knock sensors?

    You timing may be ok, get the knock sensors put in first, then tell us how it feels. ;)

    best way to heat my pistons to 140*?

    I was thinking an oven too. What are you thinking when you want to put them in water? Rust ;)
