    gauging intrest for a possible new product.

    You could put 18 piston calipers on our small rotors and it will not make a difference enough to warrant the use of new brake lines, the cost of the bracket, and the cost of the caliper. I bet this "upgrade" will be WELL into the $600 range.

    PTE 550's, the new Venoms?

    RC gives you a flow sheet for a set of injectors when you buy from them. With any rebuild, I would highly advise sending them out to get flowed.

    Windshield washer Squirters Need Part #

    I'm sure you guys deal with the VIN to order parts. It is 99.9% reliable. That one tenth of a percent when it isn't is the instance you've just described. At that point, you're dealing with a modified car, and who knows what will/will not fit. Easy way to tell if he has a factory supplied...

    Correct Flow Rate of PTE 550cc injectors

    A PTE 550 injector flows 550cc wide open (100% duty cycle). This is perfect for the lexus air flow meter and 550cc injector upgrade. I also have seen where some people believe they are using lexus injectors in conjunction with the air flow meter. This is not the case. You use any...

    Correct Flow Rate of PTE 550cc injectors

    People.... if you have 550cc injectors.. they flow 550cc's at 100% duty cycle, and 43.5 psi. The pressure is an industry standard, as is the sizing. WHen you have an injector "tested" at 80%, that means they run the injector at 80% to ensure it'll work. It DOES NOT mean it flows 550ccs at...

    Correct Flow Rate of PTE 550cc injectors

    550 cc injectors flow 550ccs of fuel wide open. Just like the stock injectors are 440s and are tested at wide open as per the TSRM. To find what a 550 will flow at 90% DC, just multiple 550 by 90%. Some additional tech info regarding injectors written by a dude at RC Engineering. Just for...

    Every thing you wanted to know about A/N fittings

    Also, the flare fittings down at your local hardware store are NOT the same bevel. These are done on a 45 degree bevel whereas AN and JIC is 37 degree. Using these together will not create a proper seal. Be cautious if a kit comes with brass fittings compared to steel fittings Typically...

    Larger Brake Master Cylinder options- 95 4Runner w/ABS?

    I wonder if 4 pistons in the back would require a larger MC. In addition to the BBK up front, obviously.

    7/16" exhaust stud upgrade?

    I don't know why people "upgrade" to a bigger exhaust manifold stud. Not like you need it. I helicoil each hole, then use the stock studs and stock nuts. It works great.

    Are upgraded valves and springs necessary?

    If you have a stock motor.. or even a motor with 1mm OS valves, you'll still have a noninterference motor. IJ is taking it to the extreme by making his motor an interference design. I think it's cool. :) *at least I do with 1mm OS and ross pistons, and my buddy does who has 1.5mm OS and...

    Fuel Pressure Drop after driving.

    If this is a mechanical FP guage, then they get inaccurate when hot. Look at your guage instructions or call the manufacture.

    where to run a copper hardline from driverside dash to passenger intake area

    Not only would you possibly get injured in a wreck, but you may also have 200 degree coolant spraying on you. You should NEVER EVER run fluids into the cabin.

    IC bolt question

    6 x 1.5 or 1.25 or 1.0 is likely it. Another bolt would be anything that uses the same sized socket to remove. How about the bolts that hold the ISC pipe on. Aren't those 10mm heads?

    HKS SSQV fitting gone!

    take it to a hardware store, and ask for their copper tubing. Then you'll see what one fits inside. Shouldn't be a big deal really. Or you could disasemble the bov, and drill and tap 1/8NPT thread, and buy a screw in fitting. 1/8NPT is about as small as one can go and still easily fid...
