    Sputter at high RPM

    If the car feels like it's missing under boost, it's most likelyl your plug gap. I couldn't run 18 psi on the stock gap. I now run a gap of .028. I can (and have) run 30 pounds with that.

    Cam journal & bearing damage... is this repairable? (pics)

    I will disassemble an oil pump, clean it, oil it during reassembly, and then check it via the TSRM. I've been told that a lot of NEW pumps are out of spec concerning the clearances between the gears and housing. If you buy a new one, I would check it out. You should also get a new oil...

    oil feed thread pitch

    I don't know why everyone says that earl's part is sooooo hard to find. It's in their catalog under carb fittings. 991945 is the earls number. That is a -6 to 12x1.25. Then you'd need a -6 to -4 reducer, a 989206. Below is a link for the metric adapter...

    Replacing the clutch

    If you change the rear main, but sure you put some lube on it prior to install. Otherwise, you'll be changing it again in 300 miles. I'm a fan of.. if it's not broke, don't fix it. I've never changed out a rear main when doing a clutch job. YMMV.

    Turbonetics wastegate sticking...

    i've had a racegate for 6 years and have never had this type of problem. You need to disassemble it, and clean the valve off. I bet there is lots of carbon on it.

    What's the honey comb for in an AFM?

    Michael is correct. The honeycomb just straightens out the airflow to ensure there are not vorticies or anything like that messing up the afm. As long as you can create a straight flow (funnel ram), you will be just fine.

    Why arent we making 1500 HP?

    Buddy has 1.5mm o/s vavles in his mk3 head. They are stock toyota 2jz valves. Its tight. With Ross pistons, its still a non interference engine too :) They may have had to cut the length of the valve down slightly. machien shop didn't elaborate, they just put them in. Altho I can see...

    I Need advise Please.............

    OH.. FWIW.. those pistons are fine ot use. No problems that I can see. Your engine guy is wanting to make some money off you from the sale of a set of pistons.

    I Need advise Please.............

    Sooo.. you paid 600 for a set of used pistons???? I'm 100% SURE you can buy a NEW set of JE's for that much. Who cares about rods? These rods have nothing special aside from a set of ARP fasteners They are a used set of rods that must be reconditioned before use anyway. Now you need to...

    Old school 5-nob apex s-afc question

    Bottomline.. it depends on what you want out of it. I'm sure there are some stock turbo guys running around on an AEM. Then again.. there are people like me who run a "big" turbo on a real header who are using the hackjob piggy-back stuff.

    EGT temps

    You guys should state where the probe is. Anything taken after the turbo is meaningless.

    Old school 5-nob apex s-afc question

    I still use it. I really don't take out much fuel, its more of a fine tuning device. I did plan to go with the new afc with the user specified points of adjustment and the +-50%. There is more adjustment in the newer ones. FWIW.. I'd ditch this and go AEM if I had the cash.

    May 6, 2006 Supra Meet in Greenwood, IN

    No breakin required for a turbo. Pour oil into the feed port of the turbo.. spin the wheels and let that oil work thru the bearings, pour a bit more oil into the feed port, install turbo, pull a bar of boost out of the driveway. It is however, very important to prime a turbo. Which is hte...

    Problem removing crank pulley & clutch fan

    Is the outside ring going to seperate from the inside? If it does, I'd say you have a faulty pulley. Its a clearance fit anyway with the pulley. Should slide right off with no problems. In fact, the last time I pulled a 7m apart, I pulled the crank pulley off with my hands. Slides right...
