Some manufacturers still do this - Mini is a good example.

Technically you'll need the jacket anyway, if your track uses official NHRA rules. There is a clause in there that requires the jacket for a vehicle with an upgraded turbo. Sounds like nonsense to me, but I've been busted on it before, had to borrow a jacket to run.

The guys over there are way meaner than we are.

How much did they interfere with the shock tower? I recall a supercharger kit for the old 22R engine that needed more room, so the kit came with a piece to modify the shock tower - a section needed to be cut away, and the new piece was welded in place, leaving an extra inch for the 'charger...

Has anyone put one in a Mk3 chassis? Their website - http://www.boostlogic.com/catalog/p133684/Full-Race-2JZGTE-ProStreet-T4-Turbo-Manifold-/product_info.html - does say it only fits the Mk4.

For all those who once thought they had good balance, I present 6 minutes of footage that proves not only are you less than average, but you will never even glimpse average performance in your lifetime. Normally I give up on videos after a minute or two, but this one demands you watch until...

Wives seem to do that... remember to point out a few things, like the price of a new car - pretty much ANY new car these days, but pick something average, and add up the costs. $20k doesn't buy you much car these days, but it sure makes a nice Supra! Also, the next step is comparing it to...

Those are in there RFT - Really Effing Tight. I used a half inch drive hex with a breaker bar and another 3 foot of cheater pipe on it, even with that setup I damn near couldn't get mine out.

I never put my 60-1 on the dyno... I was still adding parts when my 2J car went up for sale, so I bought that and paused everything on the 7M car. 415hp out of 550cc injectors isn't unreasonable at all. Actually, that's pretty good. Go here: http://www.witchhunter.com/injectorcalc1.php4 Now...

By the sounds of things, you don't have any problems that can't be solved with a different turbo and some bigger fuel. With the standalone in there, your injector size really doesn't matter as much anymore. I'm running 890cc injectors AND water / meth injection on a car that's only putting...

Advice on this is going to be all over the map. Many of the folks out there are running wastegate springs that are 25 years old and tired... and of course, they are all slightly different, so one guy with a reasonably decent spring will run some thin washers, another guy with a really tired...

Have you considered getting a *slightly* smaller turbo and a quick spool unit? Brad got a 500 rpm faster spool on a GT35 with just that. Nice looking curve, too, it just expanded the entire power band to 500 rpm sooner.

Gee, I feel out of place posting here with a Supra. ;)

Did you check the block to see if it was flat? Have you burped the coolant system? Have you retorqued the head bolts? What did you torque them to initially? Did you clean out the head bolt holes before reinstalling? Cracked head / block is easy enough to diagnose, pick up a block tester...

Find me a set of Panasports G7-C5C2 and I'll trade you straight across. Haven't called about the wind shield yet... I'd really like to wait until it dries out some, I know the guys can do a far better job if the car isn't dripping wet.

He had it coming as soon as he painted his sawblades black.

Didn't even need to use the search button for that one! Signatures aren't entirely just noise...

Sounds suspiciously like a plugged heater core. Reasonably easy to verify... well, in temps higher than yours, it's pretty easy, anyway. Pull off both hoses, hook up garden hose, turn on, see how much comes out the other side. If it's not flowing freely, it's plugged. You might be able to...

This is the correct order of operations, despite the fact that he's got two step eights listed! :) I would personally go with upgraded hardpipes and intercooler before an upgraded turbo, but the order there isn't absolutely critical.

Ya, you're right... I was looking at the N1610A, not the U1610A. Dammit. The only scope I have access to weighs over 100lbs and requires 110AC plug in power. I've got more processing power in my wristwatch.
