    Aftermath of Intercooler install :(

    the waste gate bieng refrenced before or after the intercooler wouldnt matter. if theres a leak it will effect the entire system, not just the cold or hot side. the pressure at the outlet of the compressor housing is the same at the inlet of the intercooler. if the hose on the compressor...

    10 psi on stock 7mgte: goor or bad?

    10 psi is "pushing it" on a bone stock engine? i really dont think 3.2 more PSI is really going to be all that destructive on a stock turbo.

    Nitrous... Which kits do you recommend?

    so say running 5 degrees base timing, and running a wet 75 shot of the go fast gas, that would be perfectly safe?

    carbon fiber

    true, but there is a diffrence between a shortage where the supply is low causing a rise in price, and a shortage where the supply has been depleted and theres none left to purchase. i think thats where the confusion is.

    Finished My Twin Turbo Supra (7M) Last Night

    not to take a side, but saying "oh ill have updates tomarro, the next day or anything of the sort, and not following threw isnt very promising. i dont think anyone truely believes this is a photoshop. as said before, its the internet and ball busting is a 24/7 occurance. the mention of...

    how to determine the correct boost pressure

    what i wana kno is how do you kno when 93 octane isnt enough and you need to start reducing timing. as long as your air fuels and EGT's are good, with the right amount of timing and octane, and your not over poweing the bottom end, youll be good. the problem is knowing how much timing you...

    11 second Street Car

    i was just joking back, its all good. but im just showing the point that ull spend 50 grand on a 400 horsepower car or 80 grand on a 500 horsepower car with A/C PS and a full interior but u cant take the same money and make a supra equally fast or faster while still retaining A/C, PS, a full...

    well, i rebuilt my motor put in a metal headgasket, witch was either a 1.5 mm or a 2 mm, cant remember at the moment, but anyway i have an ignition problem. i cant set it to 10 degrees. if i put it in acording to the TSRM i can get a max advance of 5 degrees. then if i move it one tooth over...

    Stock Seatbelt + Racing Seats = no no?

    i kno it does matter, but i still dont see how it changes how the seatbelt works. if the seatbelt is coming threw a hole just above your sholulder in the seat, then goes streight down. the seatbelt would be at the same angel to your sholder from the hole as if it was going streight back to a...

    ISC + Piggyback + 800cc injectors?

    i believe you are correct.

    why not 3000GT/Stealth brakes?

    prolly space and cost, its cheaper to have one housing with multiple pistons then more making 2 housings. making equal pressure is the basis of using a hydrolic system. making them put equal pressure at the same time is the easiest part of it.

    Stock Seatbelt + Racing Seats = no no?

    realy fully understood y attaching the harness to the bottom of the seat causes spinal compression. either way it coming over your sholder threw the holes in the seats weather it goes streight back from the hole or down from the hole i wouldnt think would matter.

    ISC ? (searched)

    slightly offtopic of operation, but since i have the maft, i would like to run blow threw but i would have to have the inlet of the ISC on the boost side of the turbo then. that would run ok?

    ISC ? (searched)

    mine surges sometimes when its cold, i beleive it to be the ISC because it only does it when cold. and after it warms up and the ISC like closes or almost closes all the way then its good. sound like a symptom of a bad or gunked up ISC?
