IMO, a 60-1 is overkill for 400. I'd probably go for a 57 trim CT26 if that's what I was shooting for.

Tough call... and I suspect this is going to be mostly a matter of opinion. Intake, exhaust, boost controller, fuel pump, 550cc injectors, and something to modify the AFM signal = BPU in my book. Everything beyond that is, well, beyond.

Well over 5000km when I drove to and from SILV last year. Randy (BIC) and I both did the same trip, so he's done at least that as well.

This is one of those epic postings that's well worth the read. Hell, even the questions and answers at the end of the listing are epic. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=400036198823#description

Had a great time there last year, Keith. Unfortunately, I had to switch employers this year, so I don't think I can swing enough vacation time to come again this year. :( Maybe 2010 though! :D

It's unlikely in the extreme that the CPS has suffered something internal. It's pretty easy to check, though - pull it and inspect the gear. The gear is held in place by a pin, and unless that pin is obviously messed up, the alignment has to be good. The shaft is more than tough enough to do...

No, it retains both, the alternator just drops down a bit. It still sits above the A/C compressor.

Hmm... living in Florida, I guess just leaving the AC off isn't really an option. Good luck with that!

Lights are functional pieces, so form loses to functionality. I like tail lights that are big and bright, so that the people behind me cannot fail to notice when I'm there - even when driving in dense fog, rain, or heavy snow. Anything that makes these dimmer, or blocks them from view, is a...

Working daily, I'm afraid. I work in the software industry, in the medical field, so not much effect from the economy here.

Note that Shaeff is about to get banned for buying bits that he'll never use that I wanted. Bastard. You better keep that clean for me, I'll be over in a few months to spirit it away.

While I can see your point, this level is ridiculous. An average car puts out 80db at 25 feet. In ENGINE noise alone. So the laws in your state are designed, not to reduce noise pollution, but to give the police a blank slate to screw with motorists.

There is at least one guy who manufactures 1J/2J mounts that fit the older series subframe. Check out http://www.bicperformance.com/products.htm if you ever need a set. By now it's starting to get tough to find a part that someone doesn't make for this car.

Not on these cars. The reverse works ok, an AT ECU on a manual car.

Probably. There are two different lengths, one for the 1JZ engine and one for the 7M engine.

It's an automatic thing generated by the software. Bit of a back story... most online forums like this are funded by advertising revenue, and as such, they want their traffic / membership to appear as large as possible. This causes all kinds of difficulties for them, not the least of which is...

Flex head gear wrenches are your friend.

The only thing that I see missing from your build offhand is an adjustable fuel pressure regulator. Other than that, and an engine in good shape, I'd be rather surprised if you couldn't go to 400+.

Hate to be the killjoy, but the only way to reliably figure this out is to strap it to a dyno and do a bunch of runs, turning up the boost and monitoring the AFR / knock / EGTs until something starts to look dangerous, then turning it back down a bit. Even with a mod list, there are WAY too...

A good rebuild will always be better than a drop in used engine.
