great picture... not exactly what I need... Anyway I'm bumping this because I'm still feeling horrible. I feel like I've made the biggest mistake in my life...

Bore is always smaller on the gasket so as not to develop hotspots in the chamber... Higher compression = less boost potential Also, listen to IJ, he's been there, done that, and done it a few more times for good measure.

Houston/Austin area has TONS of helpful people... I'm a bit far away in Fort Worth :rofl:

After looking at your build thread, I understand... Running without ANY cooler is not going to be wise in the durability department. Even a stock GTE setup would be better than no cooler IMHO... But a proper full flow, t-stat controlled cooler is far better. Also, about the suspension...

7M is a bit hard to handle (torque monster) Personally my favorite car right now is the Z car you can win that's an ugly yellow with a black hood... SR20 swap, everything else, and had to put the wing on it to keep it on the ground :rofl: Even better is using it to spank Elises...

It goes to a T that leads over to the boost sensor on the driver's side, and I forgot what on the passenger side... A good tip is to REMOVE that until after the engine is in, as it's very easy to snap off...

Pics of all parts? Tech help is so much easier when it's in front of you...

The main issue I see on our cars is plumbing the charge pipe back up to the engine... About the only room for it is right beside the exhaust...not good.

diaphram...

odd.. mine where different part numbers and the glue was on the right sides...

spend the money on something else...

duane isn't ;)

Yep, once it flips it's still pumping, but not nearly enough so you get SOME assistance. That is until it shreds and then it doesn't do jack...

yes

"backpressure" is a myth It's a function of the velocity and scavenging effects that make the difference in low end torque. The velocity causes section and will actually pull the exhaust out of the cylinder so you get a better charge of air/fuel. Go to small, and it won't flow enough up...

I doubt they are used... but still, the thought is a bit disturbing...

Yeah, the Supra was a much better car at the time... About the same performance, but WAY cheaper... The front engine porsche's are everywhere around here, and they're slow as crap, even the turbo ones...

not to mention the lower timing gear, possibly the lower timing cover, ect ect ect...

as I said in another thread, it means there is another problem, or the lexus AFM is also bad... the electronics are identical

Doubt it... The issue is the friction surface doesn't have enough mass to disipate the heat...
