    Weird problem while trying to tune tonight:

    the stock ECU was probably pulling timing. if the exhaust note sounds really Deep and Blatty, low-toned after spool up... its definitly retarding timing. reset the ECU and do a pull and see what happens.

    exhaust wrap

    buy DEI spark plug heat jacketing. its aluminized on the outside, woven fiberglass inside. disconnect one end of the oil line and slide the jacket over it. they also sell larger jackets but may not fit over -10. last time, i had to split it down the stitching and zip tie it back around the Drain...

    Diesel Engines and Compression in relation to a Petrol Engine (say.. 7MGTE)

    lol, the cummins is a VERY Popular motor in swaps into other makes/models. the 4BT gets swapped into jeeps and small SUV like Blazers often. the 6BT (like Tsuper's and Mine) gets swapped into Chevy full sizes and even the newer fords while the power strokes get shit canned. however, there is...

    Diesel Engines and Compression in relation to a Petrol Engine (say.. 7MGTE)

    Tsuper, you bastard! nice compound setup. i notice its an Aurora setup, very nice! that turbo on the manifold is a stocker or at least a holset isnt it? is it an HX or a later HY or what? the secondary turbo looks something like a 4088 or something. i also have a 1997 Ram 2500, Std cab long...

    Where could I put an 8" driver up front?

    i dunno... how much room do we have under our seats? someone else mentioned fitting a short mount sub like that under the front seats. i guess my friend found one made for S2000's so i would assume we could fit something too.

    4" Speakers in door?

    if i were to do it that way... i would just get the 91-92 pods for 6.5" and tweeters. your setup is a free-air just like the 91-92's are... i wanted to retain the "Reflex" setup w/ the ported enclosure like stock... but i guess if the pre-91 pods were better for mid-range response and quality...

    Where could I put an 8" driver up front?

    the whole point of getting midbass is to dedicate the 100hz-250hz range away from the Mid range and Tweeter. i currently am looking for a way to get the lows back that i lost when put in my Infinity 2-way's. they are REALLY sensative and are awesome with reproducing Mids and Highs. however...

    4" Speakers in door?

    they will fit the stock door pod. just go in there, fold the jute padding down, away from the speaker. then, notice there is a reinforcing ridge protruding towards the speaker opening. get some Side-cuts, dykes, or whatever and cut this flange flush w/ the back of the pod. i successuflly...

    7mgte Twin Turbo mani on Ebay?

    well the 14b is an offset housing. rotating it so that it points toward the front of the supra means its backwards from the way it mounts on a DSM. so the turbo would sit even Further from the engine than in its stock form. maybe the mitsu turbos this manifold was for were reverse scroll?

    7mgte Twin Turbo mani on Ebay?

    soo, if i were to pick up one of these manifolds, lop off the Greddy 3 bolt flanges as well as a little material off the collectors, welded on the Real mitsubishi 4 bolt turbine flanges and used dsm turbos, would they clear those AC lines? i was considering one of these manfolds and...

    Chevy Springs Mod + Port/Polish Qs

    for future reference, i tested the stock valve spring pressure at typical valve lift. it came in around 70lbs. its easy to get the stock coil springs to bind compared to V8 springs. my friend who ownes a commercial building w/ several bays rents one out to a race car redneck guy. he had some...
