    Just how much does your subframe move?

    noise, NO. The car feels a LOT tighter now. the body roll from quick turns of the wheel is 100% improved. Think camry turn in, body roll and steering turn in to a corvettes. Mine were looser then they should have been, results may differ....

    Exhaust question

    nuts, my flex is in the downward section of the dp. How ever id still leave the flex alone and raise it up like i mentioned above. You NEED it man. The tension on the head or turbo flange was never in the design plans with an aftermarket (NOT perfect fit) dp involved.

    FUCK! open cell sound deadener is VERY effective and costly aftermarket.

    Exhaust question

    leave the flex and shorten the pipe above it to raise it up above the frame rail. What dp? my defcon is an inch below the frame rail and ive split it open on speed bumps. the flex section is your friend! it will allow some give which will keep the header studs in the head and other pieces...

    Just how much does your subframe move?

    i just re did the tq on all of them and was quite surprised. Even ones that took a 3' breaker bar to loosen were in the 70-80 ft lb range. Feels like a sports car instead of a camry on the turns now, well worth the hour to check them all good pointer poodles!

    7mge-t, Im sick of blowing up turboes!

    I think the pcv is one of the most over looked areas when upgrading. i had to open my valve cover ports up to a larger thread to keep the dipstick and oil in. Mind you compression is 155-160 across the board as well. Yes a tight sealing motor would solve the issue, how ever i dont think i...

    Installing FP and Temp gauges

    yes i over looked that in my post and recommend making the sender fit on the engine side for the same reasons the ecu and gauge senders do... good point jj

    Code 21 or Lack of

    checking voltage at the harness connector showed 12v or rather what ever the battery voltage was reading (12.6 off, 13.3 running).

    Installing FP and Temp gauges

    one of the fittings on the coolant elbow. pick a sensor to remove or drill a new hole and tap.

    can"t find bad idle and loping....

    check your vf's. The extra blue wire can be tapped into the vf signal and you can use the safc to look at those (easier then having to pop the hood every time).

    Code 21 or Lack of

    yes, and should force open loop and a vf of 0v. when its unplugged.

    tons of questions wanna build my 7m right the first time

    my stock bottom end handles the sp61 just fine at 15-18 psi. Stock parts have shown no weakness on mine yet (rods and pistons). Ive made the connection that a built motor "should" have something other then a stock ecu controlling it to take advantage of the potential. A standalone may not be...

    Twist-Lok hoses, good for fuel?

    Jic works well for an alternative to AN (usually 1/3 the cost too!).

    a lil tap tap

    seems kind of against the tide if the clutch is involved in regards to rk, unless your thrust bearings are gone... I know my valves make noise due to loose specs, has a distinct tap/rattle as you get into the gas at the low rpms right off idle or a bit above.

    can"t find bad idle and loping....

    what are your vf's at? did you tune with the safc yet? does yours have an extra blue wire that is not used?
