    stock motor mount limits?

    the welds weren't that bad, it isnt tig quality nor professionally done, but for a 150 dollar welder there pretty good, the picture is just shitty. It doesn't look to bad, (though isnt easily seen anyway) works prefect and took little time and materials to make so it was a worth while mod...

    stock motor mount limits?

    just do this...... used 2 small strips of 1/4 inch steel plate to fill the gap from the mounting plate to the metal surround. Welded it up solid, should be good for anything and only cost me 10 minutes and a small amount of steel i already had laying around.

    My Dream car is on eBay

    eh, rather have a car i could enjoy. 1991 with 3400 miles. i put 6k on my supra in a matter of months over the summer. If i got my hands on that thing it would prolly have the most mileage of any of them out there. Dont get me wrong its a sick car, but wouldn't be worth the money to me IMO. i...

    That evil rivet in the Cometic/ TMS MHG...

    ive herd it has been revised, but put the headgasket on the block with the locating pins in and make sure all of them clear. The one i got for my car a year or 2 ago had it and i removed it, thought i cant specifically remember where it was.

    Dyno results: March 8, 2008 (MK3Brent GT4088)

    Also did you really need race fuel at that level? 20 psi isnt that unsafe with pump gas, im plannign on running 19-20 on pump 93 and water/meth. Stock spec head means stock cams and valves? there must be something you have besides that turbo and ffim to make that good power. X2 on what engine...

    500+ on 19psi? i didn't think it would flow that much, i thought something bigger would be needed for that. what are your other mods? I would have guessed a 67mm turbo would be needed for that, Sweet numbers though, maybe will change my turbo plans.

    Dare to race your Supra against a ZX14?

    Some peoples walking is others crawling. Ive been riding long enough to know that grabing enough front brake to lift the back tire or cause a skid if turning means it was either out of panic, trying to show off, or were messing around in some other way. Its not easy to lift a back tire on...

    Dare to race your Supra against a ZX14?

    Whats the difference of driving a 800 horsepower supra and a 200 horsepower supra if you follow traffic laws 95% of the time and have respect for the vehicle and the power it has? in reality, being able to say "i have a 800 horsepower supra" is about it. I understand what your saying how its...

    Dare to race your Supra against a ZX14?

    forgiving is one thing, any bike has enough brake to go into a skid or go fast enough to cause a fatal wreck. Your saying a 250 ninja cant be going to fast for a turn, the rider panics and either grabs too much front brake or cant get the bike to lean enough and wipes out? your saying a...

    Dare to race your Supra against a ZX14?

    The difference in width plays a big role too. the engine on the busa is totally in front of your legs so they can point straight down, where the sport bikes is more under you for better balance making your legs have to reach around the engine cradle more. Then factor in the 3 inch lowering links...

    Dare to race your Supra against a ZX14?

    I cant believe half of you on this forum, just because a bike is fast or has the potential to be fast doesn't mean it has to be ridden fast. Im 20, wanted a bike and found a 05 hayabusa with 500 miles on it. i bought it, and ill tell you why. Im 5'6 so 600 is WAY out of the question unless i...

    GT3076R Ball Bearing Turbo with T26 exhaust housing

    That turbo would be out of breath at 5000rpm at anything over 10 psi. not to mention the serious choke the exhaust housing would place in the exhaust.

    Heat issue after coolant drain and fill

    you need to raise the rpm to maybe 1500-2000 and let it drop quickly, it will surge the coolant. Also squeezing hoses while doing this process helps aswell.
