what brand is the mhg? should be able to reuse. maybe it simply wasnt torqued enough ARPs is ~85ft/lb with moly lube, or 103 with 30wt oil. stock bolts are good to 74 before entering plastic region, courtesy of reg reimer's research. remove the factory coating on the mhg with acetone and...

Thats the best night image i've seen, props to good camera. Of course everyone will wanna know your mods ;) Safe driving dude, -dave

empera did a group buy couple years back for hand brake and shifter covers. maybe he'll do you a one-off

Welcome to the Mania, TurboLag I can see how Alec's car is inspiring. Two things: Read up lots and we LOVE pics! Peace -Dave

Nice going with everything dude. This ain't a slow build, you bought a built block!! :p Anyways it looks great and a number of your parts got me mouth watering lol

Yup really cool idea that tookwik had. I'd be doing the COP move for my build if it wasn't something i could do later, right now i just wanna git'r done! So you got 550s, walbro, maft-pro, 2.5" hardpipes and intercooler, and more. why would you have ignition break up with that plug gap at 16...

Its good to see a well thought out ride: Beautiful inside and out!

LOW battery will do the funny electrical act. Lights will blink more subdued as well...

LOL kidding kidding... The ignition break up is more likely fuel related and NOT base timing related. There was a thread months back of BIC figuring out how to overcome ignition break up at 17psi on the 1jz builds...

Nice wrap job on that support! History lesson :D : When i first did my IC charge line hardpipe, it was in very close proximity to the sway bar (whiteline). I didn't anticipate loading the suspension would create contact between the two. 6 months later during an oil change, i noticed the sway had...

My timing question came from the ignition break up actually, not a thought towards creating more power. The PO had my car set at 14*btdc on a shimmed ct26 pushing about 12psi. It was responsive down low, and my first turbo car ride, so accel coming on at midrange was scary new and wonderful...

That brought a smile out, thanks for the vid! Where is your base timing at?

Looking great dude! One thing i couldn't help but notice is it looks like you utilized the fender pipe support strap to secure one of your new IC lines. Please line the support strap with at least duct tape so it doesnt wear a hole into your IC pipe. Hockey stick grip tape is a good choice too...

^^ That makes me nervous. I left the fender pipe in my setup after going 85% hardpipe cuz -I needed the car for work and needed that short cut -And i justified that it retains that OEM look But if it pops then it gets replaced... Harojake, UPDATE! Whats the condition of the Accordian tube...

So the MHG never got retorqued or it just gave out anyways for who knows why?

How do cookies make up for the quest te72 is intent on receiving quality support for??? What happens if crumbs get involved?

I went through 2 leaky stock ICs before upgrading to leakless NEW intercooler, DM replica FTW

i did the inside of my heat shields, outside of the turbine housing.

this is story time, DO tell :)

So the dog was wagging its tail with that "look what i got" look? or just staring, waiting to see what happens??? ^^ Bad dog! FOCL :D I seen someone driving along with their hand out the window grasping one of those things pretending it was an airplane a while back lol
