450 is not pushing the stock botom end at all. the 550-650 is where the need for forged internals come into play. By all means upgrade it if the engine is out and have the money.
My friend has ran 475rwhp for 3 years on his daily driver.
Your downpipe is faulty most likey. what brand? I would just take it to an exhaust shop and have them either extend it, or if you can find a cool shop, have them makeyou a 3" test pipe.
Not sure what brand everything is but in a word.... a lot. My buddy is running 22lbs on a stock bottom end and MHG. You can probably run 25 or more, but would reccomend a stopper gasket by HKS.
Most likely if it happened immediately after the exhaust was put on, it is an exhaust leak. Check your gaskets and all exhaust piping. Also check bolt tightness.
If not...injector ticking is exactly that. Rod knock is a knock. it almost sounds like a diesel engine knock. It usually starts off...
So does anyone have any proof of the better cooling properties, because im flushing coolant this weekend and i want to know what the best thing to do is.
I've heard a couple people on here say using 70% water to 30% coolant is the best way. Wont that lower the boiling point? And if this is true what benefits does it have and why?
thanks.
What head gasket is in there. Ive seen a guy blow a new OEM head gasket in 3 hours no lie.
ALSO! when you did your head gasket did you mill the head and block? Did you use ARP bolts? Did you torque to 75 - 80?
One last thing. If you have cats, check to see if they are plugged. Can cause...
I did a search on quarter mile times and didnt turn up anything so dont get mad. Just want everyone to tell us their best times and all mods. dont need a dyno slip.
On my old supra i ran 361RWHP on a stock non-upgraded CT26 boosting at 14psi. I did however have full fuel system upgrade, hardpipes, full 3" exhaust, safcII, intercooler and etc.
I have since got a whole new turbo and setup but im MORE THAN SURE you can get 300hp. crank the boost up to...
I truely cant see myself driving anything else. I feel like the car was designed around me. I always know how its going to react in any situation.
By the way I have been accused of loving my supra more than my girlfriend.... what can i say its an obsession! :naughty:
I never listen to the radio because the sounds of the 7mgte are so intoxicating. The sound of the turbo spooling up, and BOV are great. But when the turbo spools up and the 7M revs it is absolutely amazing. My knees get weak. Best sounding engine ive ever heard and ive owned Z28's and cobras...
Well boost leak doesnt cause more boost, it causes a lack of power.
Do you have a boost controller? If not i would get one. A good one will give you rock steady boost levels in any gear.
