    Flateric's, Rocket Red Road Sled!

    Well, got a full day on this turbo and a few observations I have about it are; Pulls hard fast and early, love it. This anti-surge housing is different that my other garrett anti-surge and it seems more effective at reducing and preventing the surge. I cannot hear the backing up of...

    Aftermarket boost gauge in stock location

    I put an HKS boost gauge in my stock location, it was not particularly difficult. I did it long ago so I can not provide you with a tutorial of any kind. Just take your time and measure twice cut once sorta deal. It's not too bad and works out nicely.

    Flateric's, Rocket Red Road Sled!

    Well for some giggles and my own curiosity I slipped the GT35R in today for a little test run. I was wrong it is a .68. Anyways, I don't know what I was expecting, I guess I thought it would be sorta similar to my t04b and not have the kick in the pants of my gt4088r or my turbonetics. Boy was...

    .70 A/R Compressor I hope that's a nice fit not that I have any choice in changing it or anything, it is what it is sorta dealio. Hey I need the inducer, exducer dimensions of the turbine side of a GT4088r .82 ar since my old one has all the tips gone on it. I figured out how to get it all...

    Flateric's, Rocket Red Road Sled!

    Came across a fair deal today on a Garret GT3582R that I don't actually need but figured why not give it a try. Might be better for booting around town than my GT4088R and my similarly sized turbonetics dbb. Not sure but this should be slightly up sized from my t04b journal bearing turbo and...

    Flateric's, Rocket Red Road Sled!

    YA! Got it charging and all systems go. Went for a good long drive tonight. Have to get my tune a little adjusted since I am running my bigger turbonetics and the tune is for my old to4b small turbo.

    Flateric's, Rocket Red Road Sled!

    I didn't, I am always forgetting that last little thing needing to be done before it's truely good to go. Today I discovered that my alternator had not been wired into my new loom yet. No charging, lol. Can't go far on a batteries charge alone. I swapped in a 150 amp tundra alternator earlier...

    aem v1 tuning questions...

    Have you checked to see how crispy your connector and plugs are around the cps area. Back when I ran a 7m I had this and it took literally months for me to resolve it. I had everything from slight to bad breakup (happened most at 2500 rpm where the cps plugs vibrated just right and became...

    Flateric's, Rocket Red Road Sled!

    I'm not too keen on 272's due to the fact they make the engine an inter-FEAR-ance setup. Also you lose power down in the bottom but gain more up top. The 264's give power throughout over stock and don't add the fear part, lol. Legally? Come on, all that extra power is for merging safely into...

    Flateric's, Rocket Red Road Sled!

    I ran over 400rwhp on my stock 7m head for many many years with my HKS fcon vpc setup no problems. Not stock HG though. Quickspool is going to be on my next order of items for sure as well. The only thing holding me back on that this year was that I didn't feel like redoing my downpipe since...

    I'd love to meet up anytime man! What kinda drivetrain issues are you having, maybe I can help. I went to go for a spin today and had little things crop up. Trying to fix a oil leak right now, top oil line high pressure to the turbo.

    Flateric's, Rocket Red Road Sled!

    At my best I have just over 600RWHP, funny you ask this as I was just inspecting it today. Seems to be holding really well. No signs of anything I have any concerns about and it went right back in. And now for an update. Well, a few new things have happened with my car. I recently dropped the...

    Engine Pic Request

    I've got one of these too, when the shaft of my stock 7M snapped under full boost all sorts of nastiness occured. Hole burned through piston, obviously very substantial turbo damage, it even looks as if the aluminium compressor side may have ignited itself when rubbing on the housing. Made the...

    Thought I would share my newly inheirited car.....

    I thought I would just drop in say hello and share my new recieved car from my great aunt Jenny. It is rough, this is no lie, but kinda a neat project. I apparently parked it in this barn when I was just 6 years old. So I was the last one to drive it. My father got the better end of this car...

    Standard timing belt, or high performance belt?

    So have I! Of course I think I may have been only a week old so the memory of it is not as strong as some from the following weeks after that. And then my teenage years are totally gone.

    Drivetrain slack

    I think Moy is correct, mine was doing this after years and years of elevated power levels and drag racing. Diff was simply worn out and tired. Luckily I had a good spare on hand and switched it in.
