I hate that it's so low I can't get a floor jack under the oil pan to get to the crossmember I hate that the airdam is broken and tie strapped together I hate that it has numerous dings, dents and scratches I hate having to put the most expensive gas available in it I hate that 245/50/14s...

^You sound like my bf. He is building his 1990 Toyota 4x4 for a 7MGTE. He already has the tranny/bellhousing chosen, and made motor mounts for it and cut the front end to fit the radiator and electric fans. Now he just has to actually BUILD the motor... but is currently sidetracked by getting...

Your sig makes me LOL^

Bye.

I've been slacking, gotta go out and buy a razor worthy enough to cut you :D

Thanks again everyone :) Still trying to decide what my new toy should be... leaning towards the Greddy Speed Cut Defender, waiting on word that it will work for the 5M or 6M ECU

The trick is, to try to get a BHG in every cylinder so the engine cleans your pistons for you! :sarcasm: :biglaugh:

lol, well the car seems to photograph pretty good, but in person you can see how horrible the paint is (very bad repaint) and see numerous dings and dents and a giant key scratch all the way down the passengers side. So far from being perfect. Someday I'd like to get some bodywork done and get...

You cannot has. It doesn't have a Regulus kit :sarcasm: Thanks all! Hopefully all this attention will inspire some great track #s out of her this summer and better dyno #s also. :D

THANK YOU!!! I am very honored to be the first mk2 to make ROTM, this couldn't have been a better time for me with the cars "new" engine and first dyno runs. April and May have been good to me, as well as this forum! I want to thank ForcedTorque, Defiant 7M, cuel and SupraGuy31 for hooking...

The car ran fine on the street w/ the timing belt loose, how strange huh? I checked the belt yesterday just out of curiousity and it was loose between the exhaust cam and the timing belt tensioner. The first dyno and this dyno both cross at 5252rpms its just it doesnt do it in the most...

CRE, I don't think it's just the compression, timing and octane... seriously thinking my ECU is screwing up, possibly the electronic spark advance is frying at high load. I don't know yet. I don't ever hear detonation on the street, but I could be deaf too. I will be changing out the ECU soon so...

All is figured out already, my timing belt was loose. I went and dyno'd again yesterday and did 155whp and 175ft/lbs. I think I am losing hp because I am a dumb bat., so it should be hp in 160s/170s... anyway, will dyno AGAIN someday, this time with my BF driving bc I am tired of doing it and...

A drum? I got beat by a drum? (lol, pun fun!)

I ran 87 octane on my 5M with the same header, had no problems. *shrug*

Why do you think the headers have to do w/ detonation? timing, compression and fuel.......

Well I mean have race fuel to add into my 89 octane tank. I dont plan on running my car out of $4 a gallon gas to go put 92 in it for dyno days. If I have half a tank of 89, I'd rather just throw some race fuel in it and have fun

Probably. Gas is a mix of 89 and 92... should probably get a small amount of race gas to keep around for dyno days. I put 92 in the day I first dyno'd, put 89 octane in today but I didn't realize I would end up at the damn dyno, LOL Fail!

6MGE bored .030" over, high comp pistons (around 9.7:1), crank polished, bottom end balanced, Trust/Greddy header, RabidChimp 2.5" exhaust, Magnaflow muffler, RabidChimp CAI, NGK plug wires, timing at 13 BTDC with 89 octane (should have used 92, doh) stock cat and stock cylinder head (was...

lol, yeah... I was expecting 165hp 170ish tq... which I think is where it'll be at with some tinkering. The car pulls like a mofo at 3,000+rpm. My butt dyno wasn't too far off from the real thing. My ECU is probably a POS, and I am going to end up punting it across my yard when I get a...
