    Did you put the seafoam in the oil?

    porting ?????

    Porting the exhaust manifold will indeed make more power, but not on a stock CT26. Before good, cheap aftermarket T4 manifolds showed up, people would run bolt on T4 style turbos which all but required porting the manifold.

    Replacing Shocks...where to get front/rear mounts?

    Weird, had to look again, and they don't have them. Lemme take a look around, might have to wait until tomorrow at work, but I think I could probably find them.

    It's the electrical equivalent of fixing it with duct tape.

    Factory Oil System

    No, as you don't have the pressure based bypass cooler to begin with. You do have a different oil pump though on an NA.

    EGR Block off plates

    It's never a good idea. And yes, your gas mileage will go down. It doesn't hurt anything, so there's no reason to remove it.

    EGR cooler gasket is paper from fel-pro, it WILL blow out unlike the factory metallic gasket. Exhaust manifold gasket is the cheap crap metal and paper sandwich gaskets, paper blows out and you get another leak. If you're using the throttle body gasket, I hope you like running a restrictor...

    Eh, a relay harness bypasses the fun switched ground headlights :) Now if only I could get the high beam indicator to function reliably with such a system on different cars... (keep in mind the relay harness is usually for HID's in my case since the factory wiring isn't adequate).

    Entirely different. OEM's tend to not use heavy gauge wire to power the headlights. Add a couple decades on to that and you have issues with lighting. The starter is a giant relay as the main power to it is not the solenoid wire. What I always found funny about these starter threads is how...

    And the EGR cooler gasket... And the exhaust manifold gasket... And the throttle body gasket... Oh, and fel-pro fails on all of those too. The fel-pro set for our engine is a rebox, it's not really fel-pro!

    Identity of this short shifter

    Think we have a winner here. Wanna say they were made by Mookee or something. Definitely not a C's.

    Yep, you have some other issue causing the failure...

    It's a gasket...not a wear item so there is no "break in."

    Clutch Question - What Do I Really Have?

    The pressure plate is a cast iron part that wouldn't be economical to manufacture yourself. That's why all the aftermarket clutches use a factory pressure plate and replace the spring. The pressure plate isn't stamped steel like say the W58 has which is cheap to repop.

    STUMBLE on acceleration!! Vid inside, tried everything

    Probably has something to do with it being a racing homologation model.

    1j?

    1.5JZ was done for only 3 reasons. - To get around the fun displacement restrictions in Japan (they have a tiered driver's license system) to make more power. - It was easier to wire in than a true 2JZ. - People are dumb and think the 1JZ head flows more/looks better/will decimate all
