sk6471: that's almost EXACTLY how the Honda turbo works on their SUV... Has a flapper to open up to the larger AR once boost is reached so it doesn't choke the engine.

Large diesels are inline for a reason...

Yeah, people seem to think it's "drive it like you stole it," but it's not. In fact the hard break-in is a process that has to be done correctly or you risk either not breaking things in, or you overheat them and instead of breaking things in, you break them... Breaking in my rear diff (yes...

I believe it's about the equivelent to the GReddy TD06 upgrade...

The person who did that is very talented... should be trying to get a job in the industry...

The parts are still available new from toyota for the jza70 lip with ducts... Best setup would have flexible pipes fed by ducts in the fog lights that are mounted to a modified rotor dust shield (they already have scoops to get air into them, but it's not very direct. I THINK the intake of...

As people that tried immersion of computers in distilled water, it doesn't stay pure and non-conductive for long... Using just water is plain idiotic, as it's not supplying any lubrication to the water pump, or any protection to the seals. Not to mention the erosion and larger temperature...

You'll still cut the seal on the sharp edge of the valvestem. There is a reason the seals come with a couple "condoms" as IJ says that are plastic and go over the valvestem which have a taper so they don't cut anything. It's easier than you'd think... I lost my first engine because of...

Large cardboard box collapsed flat = insulation from cold ass pavement. Yeah, the moving parts on the clutch should have been greased when it was serviced...

Going to fix the power steering?

I shift around 3K RPMs... Have to do a WOT pull every now and then to prevent carbon deposits though (freeway on-ramps = FUN)

We can only hope... Though I bet it HAS been done...

I think he has em right (for the pics he PMed me), though I'm not sure if the high and low beam spades are right or will need to be swapped. The issue I see is that it looks like the HID turns off when the high beams are used...that isn't good as that's the whole point in using a halogen for...

Yep, I know someone that got into a wreck and they said their neck was a bit sore, but ignored it... Ended up having a bulging disk or something and required surgery later...

A "hard" break-in seats the rings properly, and you only have a limited amount of time to seat them before they glaze...

Yeah, that's what I told him to do to rule out it being the BOV ;) Though it's a bit ugly, and fixing the factory path isn't hard...
