Tim, my fenders are not pulled, let alone rolled. i know id like to get them rolled so i dont have to worry about that lip. if i got them pulled al ittle too, i would be able to fit even larger tires and still be able to keep a conservative alignment. right now, i rarely have problems with...

true... im just picturing the 38mm. but the larger F40's, V44's, HKS50's and Especially the GReddy Type-C can get big and cumbersome. hell, the old turbonetics race gates and delta gates are bulky too. would it have been easier to recirculate the WG dump? i really dont like venting WG's...

borg wheels are claimed to be engineered for higher pressure ratios than traditionally seen in the past years. at least, thats what they claim their "extended tip" technology is for. i mean, i beleive it... the old PTE/SP 71GTQ with the S372 compressor wheel is supposed to sustain higher PR's...

were you trying to find out the Least amount of offset you could get away with or is the offset a result of shooting for a safe wheel size and tire width? on the rear, i really dont think you can get away with a 10" or wider wheel with such a low offset. i have a 10" in the +40 range at a...

so, w/ the stock manifold and the MR2 adaptor, the WG flange means the dump is either pointed at the strut tower or the engine block right? was there no room for the dump tube flange and tube when pointed down? that sucks... i have a guy who does a great job at brazing. perhaps i could grind a...

well, i could settle for a 36psi guage... since the T88 i have doesnt do shit over 36.7psi. and the HX35 i wanted to run as a temporary solution to fix my slow car can self-destruct at 35psi and over.

what about a miller Econotig? i was looking at one of those pretty seriously. i liked it because it was better than an entry level thing from harbor frieght, plus i think it had a high freq start as well doing AC welding for aluminum. i wanna say it was good for 180amp too.

yes indeed. again, im running off-the-shelf volk fitment for the MKIV twin turbo. when these wheels are ordered for an MKIV, they come with 285's in the rear for stock body. if the MKIV owner wishes to use the 295's, it is HIGHLY recommended that the fenders be rolled to avoid rubbing. the...

you need an inside bore micrometer and a standard outside micrometer. use the inside bore mic to measure the inside diameter of the oil pump ds bearings when they are installed. then, use the outside mic to measure the oil pump ds journals. subtract the OD from the ID, thats your oil film...

as rich stated, taller mains would yeild more flex. not to mention, they would require longer studs which would stretch more. to compensate for that, theyd have to be drilled out and use a larger diameter fastener for more clamping force. i like the idea of an integrated main girdle and...

mostly. but whats this talk about not being able to bolt a wastegate directly to the MR2 adaptor? a 2-bolt 38mm WG wont bolt directly to the adaptor? i dont see how it wouldnt unless there was a physical obstruction on the hotside of the holset keeping the 38mm from seating fully. but you...

DL, i dunno if you can throw a 47re valve body on a 518 tranny... i doubt it. maybe its possible for a 727 since the 47re is supposedly derived from the 727, just an additional overdrive unit incorporated in the tailshaft housing. im registered on DTR but i spend most of my time posting on...

in addition to what jon said, my MR2 CT-to-T3 adaptor is only flanged for a 38mm WG. thats why i specifically mentioned that one. btw, IIRC, the WG port on a stock CT is 36mm diameter. any idea what it is on the HX35, or at least what the HY35 was? i think tandem Wastegates would be just...

why wouldnt the delivery line to the fuel rail be at the bottom? i would want the line going to the rail as far away from any possible air contamination as possible. i think the fuel line return should come in the top, next to the fuel tank return. the delivery from the tank should be in the...

oh man! thats what ive been wanting to do for years now. i just could never bring myself to cut up an aftermarket guage or another guage cluster but im really wanting to do it again. but i need to find a boost guage thatll go up to 40psi. plus, id want it to be electric. an electric guage...

oil resivoir eh... better than bolting it to your speaker box in the trunk! lol *cough cough* im really liking the idea of bypass oil filters after reading a big thread on my diesel forum. they remove alot of contaminants that full-flow oil filters miss. i saw some 13,000 mile oil samples...

to be honest, ive never done ALL the oil system mods on one car. when i did the oil pump shim, -10an pump discharge and reset pickup head, it was on a motor with the stock oil filter pedestal and cooler. then when i did the oil pump shim and oil filter relocation and FC oil cooler, i...

anyways, is that big contraption by your radiator a bypass-filter?

yeaaahh..at 13xxlb/ft torque figure sounds alot more along the lines what i would expect from a 600rwhp 12valve. thats one hell of a truck. i wish i had enough money to support the supra and my truck. my truck is a 2wd standard cab lonb bed. it weighs in at 5880lbs. its about as light as a...

quik, what do you mean? that formula doesnt apply to T3 flanges or what... i dont make the connection. Jon, do you have internal wg actuators with different spring pressures? the stock actuator on my truck is 18-19psi. whats-his-face said a 50mm external is a must for the HX35-12cm... but...
