    block thread pitch for oil?

    LOL, I have a new oil pump sitting right in front of me, but I don't know the answer. If you find that bookmark, PM it to me please. Don't you live in Tampa?

    Rakkasan's rebirth

    Bought my electric fan today. It's an OEM 1988-1995 Taurus/Sable fan. Two stage motor & moves 4,200 cu ft. :icon_surp Now I just need to find a controller. The size is very close to the Supra's radiator, but I will more than likely have to trim the shroud a little. I'll throw up some...

    found my electric fan....

    two stage motor & moves 4,200 Cu ft/minute. The dimensions are 24.5"x17"x3.5". All I have to do is get a thermostat & splice into it. Although it's an 1 1/2" narrow & 1" too tall, it should fit nicely & keep it cooler than the stock fan could. Plus, less loss of power.... :icon_bigg

    How have you improved your car since you've owned it?

    I've had mine for 1/2 years, and in about two weeks from now I will have converted from auto to 5-speed (with a SPEC III clutch, fidenza flywheel & lightened pressure plate), put in a new motor w/ forged internals & rebuilt head, 550's, FFI, FMIC, ball bearing CT 60-1 w/ JBL oil lines, 3"...

    how much boost and hp CAN a stock hg take anyway

    Well, I guess congrats. But why would you feel the need to coat it? If you can't get a seal with a composite headgasket, something major is wrong.

    MHG bore sizes....

    I'm getting ready to buy a MHG for my new motor. Will the 86mm bore MHG work for a motor that's .040 over?

    how much boost and hp CAN a stock hg take anyway

    #1, the TSRM doesn't state to do it. #2, would you want to glue both sides of a headgasket made of glorified cardboard to items that will be moving in different directions? That's a recipe for disaster.

    Don't coat composite head gaskets with anything, place them as is.

    JE vs stock pistons

    Why do you say forged pistons won't last as long as cast? I disagree, and the reason automakers use cast pistons is cost, and nothing more.

    upgraded CT opinions...

    I missed the part about your current turbo being on the brink of failure. Get the upgrade then, just be careful.

    NEW FEATURE: Ride Of The Month

    Jayson, It sounds like Titan is somewhat 'sponsoring' this. Instead of giving a predetermined prize, why not ask them to issue X amount of dollars in credit so the winner can choose what they need? Just a thought. BTW, motor on Monday :icon_bigg

    upgraded CT opinions...

    I thought he was asking if he should by the MAFTPRo set up or upgrade his turbo......

    upgraded CT opinions...

    In my opinion, you should do the turbo after getting your MAFTPro w/ WB. Maybe I'm too precautious, but to me, protection always comes before power.
