I got a used set of the metal pipes that run around the block that were stainless steel. If you can find one of those they should be good to go used. I have no idea what year they came in, as it's the only set I've seen that were stainless. Make sure you replace the short 90 degree coolant line...

I just installed this kit two weeks ago on a customer's car. It will fit in the stock location just fine. The only thing you'll need to do is cut the lower 3/4 of the vertical latch/header support off. You may need to tweak the power steering lines just a bit to push them further forward for...

Check continuity across the terminals of the sensor. You should have continuity across it when the tank is empty, and it should be open when the tank is full. Make sure the float rises when you fill it.

Ruined a perfectly good Cervini's kit :(

Only a Supra would require Rustoleum for a paint job :rofl: . Good work so far. Try to use a tripod or prop the camera against a wall or something when taking your pics. I've found that helps out, as my camera doesn't compensate well for my shaky hand either.

Does he have dyno sheets to prove that? You may get a little more if you're at higher power levels, but I did that at ~240rwhp. That's a less than 1% increase. Not to mention you can easily attribute a 1-2hp difference to dyno run fluctuations.

I run the stock 10btdc on my 7mgte. I tried upping it to 12 on the dyno, and saw a whopping 1-2hp gain. Played it safe and stuck with 10

jdk shifter. Accept no substitutes.

Technically, my first car was a 1977 Fiat 124 Spider. But I didn't get it painted/running before I got this car: Best damn car I've ever owned.

We promise we won't make fun of you for it...

Looks very cool. I haven't tried it yet, but I'll check it out when I get the hoopty running so and log a run.

Also, there is a newer version of it floating around somewhere. Basically, the ac belt idler pulley adjustment bolt was relabelled to an M8 instead of an M10. The dumbass tham made the list screwed the pooch on that one.

Sweet! Finally got it one eh? We must meet up so I can check it out :)

.308 pistol? That's gotta be a handful :)

When you do your dyno runs, can I suggest you start them at 2k or so? Nothing irritates me more than seeing dyno runs starting at 3-4k. Tells you nothing about the lag characteristics of the turbos. Thanks Christian

Me too. As far as them blowing, I posted this before and I'll post it again. I believe the issue lies with the worn out bump stops on most mk3's. I blew a few of my Tokicos the first time around. When I took them apart, I found that the stock bump stops were deteriorating and pieces of the...

Pretty much. Don't forget to line up tdc first, and you'll need to take the thermostat housing/hose off.

If you really are running pig rich, then that may have been the cause of your troubles. You don't want to run rich during the break in as it will "wash" the oil away from piston walls/rings. This is bad during break in as the piston rings need to wear into the cylinders. Without proper oil, you...

While the symptoms sound like valve stem seals, your smoke color does not. Are you sure it's white? Burning oil produces blue smoke. Water produces white.
