Firefox 2.0 and Alt-S to save messages I'm fond of the shortcut Alt+S to submit my replies. But now I found the shortcut has been occupied by the History menu shortcut. You can either use Shift-Alt+S to submit or you can change it back to how it was using these steps: - Type in 'about:config'...

Nah, if I go for a bigger turbo I'm likely to wait until the variable vaned turbos are available, then put in something with ball bearings and an equal volume tubular header. Really, though, chances are I'm done with the engine end of things for a while... I'll likely move towards paint and...

I refuse to put work into something that I would rather replace. If I do, I'll want to keep it. And there is no good reason to want to keep the stock manifold. :D

A place on Boundary rd called Magnem. They appear to know what they are doing, they were fast and the price was reasonable. I'll go back there again.

Did some more work today... at this rate I can drop it back in the chassis soon, then all I have to worry about is the wiring!

I've been preaching that the head gaskets stock are plenty tough for years. I managed to blow one, stock turbo, 20+ psi... at the same time I burned a piston and cracked a couple more. Keep in mind that at this point I was just turning it up until it blew - I ran it over 20psi for months...

Depends. If you are using a boost controller to increase your boost after replacing the exhaust and intake, then sure. If your boost has scooted up high enough to hit FC without installing a boost controller, then you are seriously SOL.

Thanks Doc! :) Last few months have been summer... I'm usually pretty inactive over the summer anyhow, I spend most of my free time driving, mountain bike riding, etc. Add in the fact that I switched jobs and we welcomed another baby boy into the family in May, and I've had less time than...

I don't know how I managed to miss this thread for this long, but nice work. Good to see some pics of the parts that I've only heard descriptions of!

Do RC 550cc injectors require new grommets? As in, the ones that sit in the head? The ones that are in there appear to be a little loose on the RC injectors, they were tighter on the stock 440s. I thought these were plug and play - except for the clips, of course. I was going to dig about...

More pictures from tonight. :)

Yes, I think that's the exact color. :) I painted it silver - well, aluminum, anyhow - last time, and by the time it was done you couldn't tell. So I figured what the hell, if I'm going to paint something that you can't see, might as well make it a bit brighter!

Other than the fact that the graph is inverted, there isn't much of a difference, actually. :) http://www.weather.com/outlook/travel/businesstraveler/wxclimatology/monthly/graph/CAXX0518?from=36hr_bottomnav_business To be honest, I do end up driving up into the mountains now and then, even in...

Installed the head:

Only for Supras. I'm actually a manager for the Quality Assurance department in a software firm, my experience wrenching is rather limited by comparison to an actual mechanic. This is what I have heard as well, and all the machinists I have visited store them that way as well. I've heard that...

Dude, you have no idea. :D It was over 2 months before those were installed. I should mention that there wasn't any rush, as I didn't get all the parts shipped to me until just recently, and then I was injured for two weeks (ripped hamstring during a mountain bike crash)... etc, etc.

:) I'll post some specs in the first post. I'm usually pretty inactive over the summers - I'd rather be out mountain biking, or driving, or... something. As ol' man winter settles in, I'll be online more - well, after I get this engine assembled and installed, anyhow.

Ok, so I know I've been quiet for a long time. Well, I figure it's about time to post some shiny pictures of what's coming. :) Some details: - JE Pistons, 20 over - RC 550cc injectors - Wally fuel pump - Aeromotive AFPR - Stainless fuel lines - Cometic head gasket - Feramic full face clutch...

Hell, I'll laugh at you, and you don't have to do squat. Heh. :D They always say bad things come in threes, so it sounds like things should be picking up for you shortly. Expect a supermodel to camp on your doorstep wanting to have your children, and the 1J to install itself.

Gah! I think I shit the bed shipping to two people... lino and fotosoup. :( I suck. I am heading to the post office to send those two people a care package right now. If anyone else is missing stickers from me, PLEASE send me a PM with your real name, address, paypal email, and what color...
