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...

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...

I have been sitting on a bunch of parts for a while and decided to finally install them. I was pretty much stock, just an ETS intercooler and exhaust setup. She started out like this after some work, looked like this: started doing this: had this stuff laying around :naughty...

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...

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...

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...

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...

I'm in the planning stages of my full flow oil system, and I've run into a wall as to where to put my oil cooler. I use the car for drift, so I'm shooting for a decent sized one, but the limits where I can place it. I planned on using this...

need to replace the hose off the throttle body, and the 2 hoses coming off the valve covers. just figuring I might as well do the rest of the hoses too. Ive seen people use this clear pvc tubing, that has a white reinforced weave. Its pretty flexible, but I'm unsure as to how it will withstand...

the return hose on my charcol canister looks to be on its last legs, so I was hoping to replace it. I was wondering, since fuel vapors travel through it, does certain hose need to be used?

I need to change my thermostat, is it possible to do without draining all of the coolant? also, the TSRM recommends mixing coolant and distilled water, would it be a bad idea just to run pure coolant?

so i went to my first drift event last night and the car was running decent, but rich. a couple hours in, after maybe 12-15 runs, i'm sitting in the line idling, and the a/f gauge starts drifting towards 10, then it felt like the engine loped, then it shut off. i tried to restart, but the s-afc...

i have had a problem with my idle Vf's and lean idle, so i decided to revert things back to stock to try and fix it. I put the narrowband O2 sensor back in the turbo elbow, put my wideband in a separate bung further downstream, undid the wideband emulation. started her up, no change. started...

so, i finally got a new battery and did the parasitic drain tests. 2 problems though. i hooked up my multimeter, one to the battery neg, and one to the negative cable, and for like a second, i could hear my turbo timer beeping, some numbers registered on the meter, then nothing. i tried it for...

currently i have a frankensteined exhaust that has 2 resonators on it. they drag on speed bumps making driving through my neigborhood a complete pain in the ass. I have a ets cat back exhaust waiting to go on, but it starts post cat. my current exhaust bolts right to the downpipe. my question...

due to my intercooler, i had to move my radiator overflow into the engine bay, taking up some of the battery space. To prevent having to relocate the battery, a guy at a shop suggested the braille battery, its like 11lbs. So, eventually I got the car running, but still had alot of electrical...

I was reading this thread: http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?t=76999 and saw that one of the grounds, the head to firewall, is missing on my car, or maybe I'm just not looking in the right place for it. Anyone have a picture of it? Or is there a place to find it in the TSRM?

I'm not sure if these problems are related. Yesterday, before I drove to school, I bumped up my fuel pressure a couple psi (last base setting was 38 psi with vaccum), to richen up my upper rpm range. Everything was ok, went to class, came back to the car and it wouldn't start cause of my...

I'm running 7lbs of boost, fuel pressure base at 32lbs with vac. Afr's are good (btw 11 and 12) up until WOT above 3000rpms, then it just goes flat 10. Before i switched to the Lex afm, i was having a problem with the wastegate door sticking shut, and i was hitting fuel cut. I've since fixed...

I checked some of the other threads on white smoke, but none seemed like my problem. some background on the car: less than 1000 miles on built engine, o-ringed block, copper gasket, 680cc injectors (10.0-10.5 at WOT) so i'm on my way to the bank, from my job (maybe 2 miles). i hit 8lbs once...
