In the past couple years, I've heard that fast also likes huge park-bench wings, super aerodynamic $400 full body kits, full gauge suites no matter the vehicle's aspiration, neon and intakes that look like intercoolers. I bet the feminists love seeing a guy tell a woman to shut her yap on TV...

At the wheels, damn right.

This is very common. My clutch gave out after I installed my boost controller and pushed the boost up. It would give out just before I hit full boost [11-ish psi] and my revs would shoot through the roof, but I would be going nowhere. This is a sign that you NEED a new clutch, and you are going...

I actually read less of the Chuck Norris funnies - I saw the random generator for Mr. T and they are just as funny. It cuts through the jibba-jabba. There was one on there about "Every time a bell rings, Mr. T pities another fool". There are many Star Wars references, and there are always Chuck...

Coding for brain waves and separating regular body function from imagery created in the mind sounds difficult. Find a neural impulse translator. Pfft.. and some people used to think that digital to analog conversion was tough!

Jon, you know where you are welcome, and you know where the goods are. Good for you, for not taking shit from the fourth reich over there at SF.

Man, I just started playing World of Warcraft on the server "Laughing Skull" and Chuck Norris chat is very common in some areas of the land, especially in "The Barrens".

Actually, the MkIV tranny is the A340E - it's the same as the MkIII Auto transmissions, except with a different output shaft, one more clutch pack and more fluid capacity. The A342 is supposedly a one-off for the 1JZ. Still, they must all be from the same family. It's great to see innovation...

You also may be able to find an Apexi Power FC for a 1JZ. Those are "pretty cheap" [around $1000] and easy to use as well with the "Power FC commander", as far as stand-alones go.

If you use US spec 550s, don't you need the resistor pack from a US spec 2JZ-GTE? The US spec ones are low impedance, and the 1JZ uses high impedance injectors.

If you are using the R154 transmission, you use a clutch for the R154, or 5-speed turbo Supra. It depends on what tranny you are using.

As long as you can tune it, you are probably good for around 450-500hp. I don't know what the HKS turbines are capable of, but I thought the sport tubine kits were good for over 400. You have enough fuel for about 500hp.

I could never bring myself to drive one. 0wned.

A70s can do it all. We may be heavy, but we can break tires loose for drifting. People also say that rallying is for Alltracs and Scoobies, but the A70 filled in for a year before the ST165 was put into place.

$1000 for a HKS Type S [their smaller IC!!!] or $200-$300 and what Aaron described as another 1/32" movement on your wastegate controller. That extra $800 isn't justified for vehicle specific mounting tabs.

More metal : stronger, but will heat-soak and not cool as efficiently Less metal : weaker; hot/cold cycles may cause cracks in weak/thin sections and near welds. Better heat/cooling transfer though.. The trick is to get the right thickness. Fin density is important as well, but the difference...

And yes, twin-charging is nothing new. HKS had a twin-charging kit for the supercharged 4A-GZE out of the AW11 MR2. Blitz had a pulley kit for it as well.

There HAS to be. Remember in that movie "The Wizard" with Fred Savage, where his character had a mentally handicapped little brother Jimmy? He was always screaming about "California!" and he wanted to go see the dinosaurs. It turned out to be a park with a bunch of huge dinosaur statues. If...

Is that the theme to Brokeback Mountain?

I've seen a 900hp 2JZ in a 240 also. :D Some custom work involved, but I would think it to be worth it.
