    How safe is it to drive with rodknock?

    As long as you are prepared to be stranded somewhere, in need of a new engine instead of just new bearings, go for it.

    Huge border fees

    I'll second that assumption - UPS is the worst way to get anything sent from the USA.

    EGR cooler plate

    Leakage from back there is just exhaust, not boost. So no and yes.

    MAFT Pro (Tuner Pro)

    Don't worry about RAM. I'm running Tuner Pro on win2K with 256M, it's perfectly fine. I'd seriously suggest an old notebook, unless you want to use it for something else as well.

    who would win in a fight?

    There is a reason why human beings are at the top of the food chain. 10 year old kids aren't dumb. They would figure out something - like standing around the swimming pool and watching while the shark starves to death, or draining the pool - neither of which is terribly difficult. The bears...

    Modifed oil pans?

    IJ, you're making me jealous. Again.

    Ring gap confusion

    I can't speak for stock rings, but my JE rings required quite a bit of work.

    Whats better, the Lexus AFM or the MAF-Translator?

    It's as easy to install as a SAFC. And tuning is just as easy as any other system I've seen, any decent tuner shop should be able to do it with a little reading.

    Stock injectors how much power?

    Just over 400 rwhp has been done.

    Oil change instructions for men and women

    Those steps are assuming that the guy has the brains to get all the parts he needs at once, which is rather unlikely. Most guys are going to need to add a couple steps in there: - cuss about forgotten parts - try to make an oil drain plug gasket from garden hose, or try to make wrong oil...

    Whats better, the Lexus AFM or the MAF-Translator?

    Honestly, I dunno. I don't have any issues, never have.

    These cams look any good to anyone?

    When I clicked on this thread, I was expecting the usual minor journal scoring, but that is way beyond acceptable. Those belong in the 'please take this free shit away' pile. I'm pretty certain I could dig up a set of cams in decent shape as well, let me know if you run into problems finding a...

    3pc wing or whaletail

    3 piece. But I'm a purist.

    Whats better, the Lexus AFM or the MAF-Translator?

    I'll weigh in on the side of modern technology as well - I'm very happy with the MAFT Pro, and I've run the original MAFT for quite some time as well.

    another maftpro issue, crank/no-start

    Mine did that for the first little while, then started running again as the ECU figured things out.

    what AFM from lexus LS400 and year do I need?

    4 threads for the same question? I don't THINK so. 1 thread per question in the future. First. Any lexus that uses the 4.0 litre V8 and a karmen vortex AFM like ours will do. There were quite a few of these. I'm relatively certain that you can take the one you have to a local junkyard and...

    Nille the Swedish guy, hehe

    Very nice. There are some crazy Supras across the pond. I still want to find the fellow from your area that built the un-freaking-believable intake manifold, looked like a briefcase from the outside. I think the same guy decided that he wanted a bigger exhaust, so he cut his in half, top to...

    F C O at 3500rpm

    Or you could just build a $5 boost leak tester and find the leaky hoses.

    Are upgraded valves and springs necessary?

    While people have made massive power on the stock head, it should be pointed out that Duane's engine bumped it's torque up a huge amount when he worked over the head. Upgraded springs are required IMO if you plan to spin the engine faster than the stock redline.
