Any competant bodyman should be able to do this. It will work best if you can get a roof panel from a wrecker so that the curve matches the factory profile. Also look for a headliner, since this is also going to have been destroyed. You might also want to consider replacing a larger area...

Personally, I think that electric fans have their place. However, other than impressions that people have of "freer revving" and other effects that can be adequately described as placebo effect (That is, you expect it to be better, so it seems better) I've yet to see proof of actual improved...

That's the beauty of a turbocharged motor. Turn the boost down, and it's a less extreme motor. Crank it back up, and you can have as much trouble as you like keeping the rear end following the front.

Um... NA exhaust cams are identical to the turbo exhaust cams. They're the same part. The intake cams are timed for more overlap, and move the power curve down somewhat. Good for all-round driving, but less top-end power. The NA pistons raise the compression ratio. That means that you're...

Hmmm... Heater valve stuck, sounds like the thermostat is sticking, too. When did you flush your coolant last? If you used tap water, how bad is your local water supply for hard water? Though not always possible, I try to use distilled water in the cooling system. Distilled water will...

Hmmm... I was going to build a custom shroud for my Koyo radiator, since I no longer have the 2 aux fans for my '89. How much is it worth to you? ;)

I'd be somewhat worried about the crank/flywheel bolts at 1000 BHP, let alone 1000 rwhp. I'd be expecting that there'll be crank problems. Add at least a forged crank to the list, possibly custom (JZ flywheel?)

Nice photochop.

I found that he NA exhaust WILL work. You've just got to take the NA cat with it. The turbo cat is shorter, but the front of the cat will bolt up. This will at least do until you can get in a better exhaust. (This is what I did.) It is also possible that your NA has an LSD, but it was...

Boost creep basically means that your wastegate is inadequate for bypassing the turbine. This doesn't seem like boost leak. Not sure what the temp is where you live, but FC will happen at lower flow/boost with cooler temps. Also, the high flow exhaust seems to promote boost creep, since a...

With the BOSS turbo, you'll need a stock style elbow. I wouldn't use a stock one though, might as well splurge the $200 (or whatever) and get the LIPP replacement. Stock replacement downpipe from there, too. This can add up, though...

Really, with T clamps, just cleaning the oil off ought to be sufficient.

A search is a good thing, but a few things that I can add: Igniter, AFM. Yes, the gear ratios are different. Your '87NA will have 4.300:1 gears, possibly not even limited slip. (You can check this with the vehicle data tag. The axle code is G304 or G305. If it's xx4 it's 4 pinion open...

For a sealed enclosure, you can get away with some play in your box size, but there's a relatively easy way to do it with a 'glass bottom enclosure. Packing peanuts. Get a 2 cubic foot box full of packing peanuts (Or half full, depending on how big you're measuring.) Dump it into the 'glass...

I've been tempted to do this a number of times. I'm also tall, but every once in a while, I end up having to take the kids somewhere in the Supra, and the back seat gets used. As long as the kids are small enough to fit back there, I'll have to have at least one seat in the back.

Well, there are several things in that area that could cause a problem. Already mentioned, but... CPS PS Valve cover Turbo coolant lines And also: Heater coolant line (That nasty little 90 degree bend hose) Oil filter & oil cooler PCV return to intake See if there are any...

Heh. More boost won't DIRECTLY cause a BHG, but it can certainly be a contributing factor. FCO, though, I can't see how that could cause a BHG. The whole point of fuel cut is to keep the engine from overstraining, or running dangerously lean should an injector go static.

This doesn't make sense to me. Retarded ignition timing is waiting until LATER to set off the spark. Therefore there is LESS time for the crank to rotate into optimum position after ignition. This suggests to me that the N2O is starting to act sooner, causing cylinder pressures to raise...

Sorry, I figured that since I'd posted earlier int he thread, it'd be obvious. It's also in the youtube description. I have the Tanabe Hyper Medallion. It's bolted to a RT downpipe (racing -- eliminates both cats) and a LIPP elbow. That's on a stock CT26, and as the vid shows, about 13 lbs...

I got the Spearco replica IC from Driftmotion, and the IC kit. This kit looks similar to the one on eBay, but at least from Driftmotion, I was reasonably sure that the pipes would be good, and they are. Nice thick material, should be easily weldable (I just gotta learn to do it!)
