    Gasket Surface Prep

    Yeah oil was down in the plug valley on the spark plugs when I pulled them out. 4 out of the 6 had oil on them. Everything is cleaned up and ready to go back together now I'm just having trouble getting that hose next to the oil cap back on the valve cover. I put a little vasoline on the fitting...

    Gasket Surface Prep

    Hey guys, I'm getting back to working on my 89 supra again and I'm picking up where I left off a couple of months ago. Last thing I did was pulled the valve covers off because I had oil on some of my spark plugs and for some reason was thinking the valve cover gaskets needed to be changed...

    Pic request: Upgraded valve cover bolt set up

    Cool Cool. Thanks a lot! I know with paper or paper/metal combination gaskets you can put compound on them to help them seal better and last longer, but what about with rubber? Is there something you can put on them to keep them from drying out or messsing up before there time is up? Maybe a...

    Pic request: Upgraded valve cover bolt set up

    So is there a good place on the internet to order either hex head, or allen head bolts to replace the phillips head bolts that hold the valve covers down? I'm in the process of replacing my valve cover gaskets, and it seems as though everyone has the 2 rectangle gaskets for the actual covers and...

    Straight Pipe?

    Yeah and what sux is that I like Volume, but as stated before the turbo really reduces a lot of volume. Maybe a Apexi N1 would be louder than just straight pipe. 3 1/2" pipe to a Apexi N1.

    Straight Pipe?

    see that sounds great to me, but I'm pretty sure volume wise, it's going to be hard to get justice through video audio and laptop speakers. Thanks for the vid man!

    Maximum Boost?

    Yes I was speaking to you that much was obvious. You don't have to feel like your authority was being challenged That wasn't the intent of me expressing my response to your response, and besides, as a "Tech Moderator" you should enjoy your job enough to explain things to people and making...

    Maximum Boost?

    how is that not a technical question, obviously a motor can only handle so much pressure until rings and other internals blow. This is my first turbo experience with this car, so if you don't want to answer this question because you think its dumb or lacks experience then just hit the back...

    Straight Pipe?

    hmmm. I guess you can hear the turbo spooling a lot better from outside the car than inside the car, because I don't recall mine sounding like that. You must have a BOV to. I'm still runnin a factory setup all around.

    Maximum Boost?

    Does anyone know the maximum boost a stock 7mgte motor can handle without having to replace a lot of the internals?

    Straight Pipe?

    Lol :) I used to say the same thing about these people running around in saturns, malibus, cavaliers etc... I'm not knocking these cars or what people do with them but cutting the muffler off to make noise on a car that you have no plans or aspirations of going fast in isn't my cup of tea. In my...

    Straight Pipe?

    I appreciate the videos supradj, they do a lot of justice in regards to running a straight pipe, and i personally like that deep rumble. Lower RPM's almost sound like a 18 wheeler :) I guess I will give it a shot and probably buy a new DP and run the rest straight out. By the way your turbo...

    Straight Pipe?

    Im with you on that CzA, I have heard through out my time behind the wheel, many different opinions on sound and performance that I agreed with sometimes and disagreed with others. I guess the answer I was looking for would pertain more to my situation which is cutting off my muffler and leaving...
