    anyone make custom headlights (besides NSX retrofits)?

    not bad... man, i REALLY want cutoff though. s2000, TSX, TL... you know what i mean. its the heater! are those round lights adequate for highbeams? i was thinking that once i manage to get projectors inside of an H4 housing, that leaves me with like 2.5" to put another light in there for a...

    Home depot lip

    someone asked about a better way to install it... 3M makes emblem tape for attaching, well, emblems. its usually pretty durable, more than the standard white foam tape. it should last about 10-16 years. afterall, that is the stuff that holds the urethane bead on the 89+ side molding and...

    Questioning my turbo choice...

    ... 1600? cmon now. unless you have a dyno video or a sheet, i call shenanigans. a 600rwhp setup should do about 1200-1300rwtq. thats almost unattainable with a large single too. he would most likely need to run a compound twins setup. if its a 24valve truck, like a 98+, he would need ALOT more...

    New oem oil pump, should i still shim it?

    i have. unless IJ is running a dry sump with a scavenging pump and an accumulator and all kinds of neat stuff, my system isnt much different than his. i have a new toga pump shimmed about 10mm, reset pickup head height, filter relocation, and an FC3S oil cooler (plumbed correctly this time)...

    Dual Exhaust Idea

    if youre going to run a pair of mufflers, youll wanna do it in the driveshaft tunnel area, most likely after the tranny. it depends on how big of a diameter they are. id say, run the cat/test pipe right on the collector of the header. itll work the best and make the most room for the rest of the...

    Questioning my turbo choice...

    yeah, they are pretty cool when they run right. the only way i want a 6.0 is dropped into an SN95 mustang ;) i love my 12valve though. i can throw injectors, delivery valves and a turbo on it and make 900rwtq w/o batting an eye or worring about EGR coolers, FICM harnesses, headgaskets, cam...

    anyone make custom headlights (besides NSX retrofits)?

    are there H4 housings that have a plastic/polycarbonate lense? im afraid of trying to cut glass and messing it up. plus, once the glass lense is cut for a lower profile... reassembling it would be the next hurdle... the stock headlights are only 7" wide right? the projector assemblies...

    Dual Exhaust Idea

    if youre going to run a cat, id forgo the mufflers. a cat serves as quite an effective noise supression device. perhaps a couple magnaflows would work as a straight thru muffler... better than bullets/resonators. if you do side exits, go for some resonated tips. they actually can make a...

    Questioning my turbo choice...

    what was the lowest boost you were able to run on that turbo? did it have trouble holding a stable boost level and end up creeping?

    anyone using a Holset HX-35 from a 94-02 Dodge Ram Diesel?

    i dunno, wouldnt a 35/50 be like a T3 hotside stuck to a GT42??? it wouldnt be a very balanced setup and would create a lot of exhaust gas back pressure. you might have to do a 40/50 setup by sticking a hotside from a 40 on your 50. thats probably doable. man, if your forumula for...

    anyone using a Holset HX-35 from a 94-02 Dodge Ram Diesel?

    apparantly, a 14cm T3 housing is a 1.03ish... so possibly a 1.2ish range. thats IF its still a T3. if someone said it was a T3 or T4 earlier, i dont remember...

    Home depot lip

    man, that turned out quite well.. the only thing that raises any bit of suspicion is the ends of it by the wheels where they flare out. i bet you could add some metal strapping behind the ends and a strut to pull them back in a hair so they were perpendicular to the ground. i want a lip that...

    pics of my supra

    the car looks quite good. and the interior seems to be mint. im highly jealous. keep the floor mats and save your carpet! its easier to swap mats than carpets. you could probably find some of those all-weather mats that have raised edges and are really heavy duty. it should keep shit from...

    anyone using a Holset HX-35 from a 94-02 Dodge Ram Diesel?

    somebody posted up in the other thread talking about holsets. the 12cm is something like 0.86AR i asked if he found some kinda forumula but im not sure what the deal is.

    Dual Exhaust Idea

    i have no muffler on my car, thats just a Dr.Gas Y-pipe. i think its one of the best y-pipes ive ever seen and exactly what i wanted. for air flow systems like this, which have velocities UNDER the speed of sound, you want it to split via a round edge. having a sharp edge like a merge collector...

    New oem oil pump, should i still shim it?

    well... yeah, i know its a high volume system. but the higher pressure function of this mod means less oil is being bypassed into the pan and more is making it thru the engine itself.
