    turbo blankets

    so, i'm hoping to have my build finished after exams, and the last thing I was going to buy was a turbo blanket. At first I was considering the DEI titanium, but then I ran across an article where the PTP blanket was tested, and the specs between the two seem fairly similar. Anyone have any...

    What do you guys think?

    sounds good! love the live instrument aspect, almost a hybrid jazz/hip-hop feel. could use more level on the bass, maybe some crispness? could be the crappy stock speakers, but the female vocals seemed a little tin-ny

    Filling the oil cooler? and one more question...

    I've finished the full flow oil system per the write-up, but had a few questions/concerns before I go any further. Should the oil cooler be pre-filled prior to start-up? I'd think that once the thermostat opens, it would be drawing a considerable volume from the pan to fill the lines and the...

    Betty gets some upgrades

    it wasnt on my car when it happened. I lent the turbo to someone for fab work, it then made it onto someone else's car, and they wrecked it. Worst part is they tried to give it back to me like nothing was wrong. luckily I had to pull the housing to see if I could trade from 4-bolt to v-band...

    gt35r swap has begun, have a few questions

    Thanks guys for the input! a couple more questions: The manifold I'm using was resting on the stock filter head, so I figured this would be a good time to do the full flow oil system. I don't remember which thread or who said it, but it was said that the canton adapter would need to be...

    gt35r swap has begun, have a few questions

    I've started my gt35 swap, and while taking things off the car, a whole buch of concerns popped up. I planned on having a custom downpipe made (currently I have an HKS for the stock turbo) for the sake of ground clearance, but while pulling the downpipe, it doesnt really seem like I can get much...

    HELP!! Good Battery, No Start !!

    are you 5 speed or auto? I have a similar problem and was told it was the starter. next time it happens, take out the key, put it in third and rock the car back and forth till you hear a click when pushing forward. pull the hand break, take it out of gear and try to start it. It works for me

    ct26 to t3 adapter for gt35r

    I was looking around the web for a flange and ran across this: http://www.amazon.com/T3-CT26-Turbo-Flange-Adapter-Wastegate/dp/B002UN8N5Y Anyone have any thoughts or comments? I'm mainly concerned with clearing the intercooler piping and oil filter housing, which seem to be the most mentioned...

    reinstallation after new bushings not going as planned, need assistance...

    I had my control arm bushings swapped, and marked the camber bolts per the TSRM, but when put the arms back on, I can't seem to get them to line up like the did before I took them off. Is there some trick? Its like as I rotate the bolt to line up the marks, the arm shifts and the dial moves...

    time for a new clutch?

    I was at a drift event yesterday, and coming off the line for my final run, the clutch just stopped grabbing. I made a feeble attempt to limp her home, as i drove i went from 45, to 40, to 35, and after a turn onto the nearest road with civilization, I could barely get to 15mph. so i shut her...
