Sorry It has taken me so long to respond to this.. I've been busy. First a few things. 1) Every state has various laws that can be unique to that state. (Texas is a good example.) 2) Most insurance companies use what is called "Boiler plate" language in the policy, and it makes most...

Back in the day, on the stock engine, with 550's and the Lexus air meter.. the bolt on T4-60-1 turbo from ITS with the dual BB CHRA, and the smaller compressor housing was good for 420rwhp at 18psi. (IIRC, it was rich, about 11:1) This was using the old HKS copy of the toyota racing housing...

I made mine up with mild steel, mandrel bends and straight pipe. It is 3" ID at the throttle body, and 2.5" from there to the FMIC, and another 2.5" from the IC to a single shorter 2.25" ID pipe off the turbo. (The actual ID of the turbo outlet is more like 2.25, not 2.5 I've found in many...

Under non "Boosted" conditions, the stock throttle body port draws off oil vapor and crank case blow-by gases/pressure. It can also draw the other way, to the turbo inlet/accordian hose where there is a low pressure area as well. Under boost, the main source to draw off the PCV is the...

Not sure what brand my valve seals are, but they went on easy. I think there are two reasons they do not come off easy. THey lock into place. Generally, the older ones are harder, so they do not flex much, and are harder to remove.

Get a tire plug kit. Then practice on your stock spare tire to learn how to use it. :) :) Takes up very little space, and I've never had a "flat" I could not plug in a few moments. (Generally some nail or bolt, or even a bungie cord hook that my tire picked up through the tread.) I have...

I used a coathanger to fish wires through the stock rubber boot from the door to the A post, and the stock conduits on both sides to run stereo wires. Pull the kick panels, and you can peel your carpet back, and carefully unclip the spring loaded conduit. There are even cutouts so you can run...

Rolls of foam weather strip are the speaker installers best friend. :) RTV works too, but it's more of a permanent fix.. and can be messy if you do not wait for it to cure before you move the panel around. I used Silicone/RTV to seal up my sub box, then packed it with pillow stuffing to...

That OEM sub is in great shape.. On the subject of the way it's facing, the sub I built reflects the sound off the rear body panel and hatch glass, and I used the reflection technique to mount the rear tweeters, so they disperse the highs off the quarter glass, it works great. I retained...

That 1022 is from Tactical Solutions.. here in Boise.. niffty stuff, but dang expensive for what you get. I have a 1022 with the Butler Creek carbon fiber barrel.. (It is a stainless steel barrel wrapped up with a carbon fiber bull barrel.. very light, and very accurate.) That is then in a...

That stock, rare sub setup takes up the space I have my 5 channel amp located under the stock wood/carpet lift tray. (There is about 2" of space there, so you can fit a flat amp with careful planning...) I made up my own sealed enclosure, and used a 10" Diamond Audio, magnesium cone/alloy...

Shawndude did the testing years ago, and I believe the data was lost in one of the various site hacks. Basicly here is the info, from what I remember. First, I'm assuming everyone knows that air always flows from high to low pressure. No exceptions. And that your car's cooling system is...

Here is mine. Starts at the Throttle Body port. (This is important as Jdub noted.) Goes over both valve cover ports. My "Catch Can" is a Parker air filter for an air compressor. (It has a filter inside as well as vanes than swirl the air flow, and seperate oil and air in the process.) It...

Yep, if the head was warped, they should have clamped it down flat in an oven, and then milled it after it was "Straightened" out in the process. Now your cams most likely will be "warped" when the head is installed on the block.. This can lead to some wear issues, and I've heard stories of...

This is a full set for the front, and rear? Upper A arms, and lower A arms front, and the upper A arms and links for the rear..? If that's the case, this is my next mod.. :) Might even have a way to pay for them too...

What was that about Wilwood calipers being junk? LOL They have stainless pistons.. no need for dust seals.. They do not rust. Depending on the caliper, they are available in many configurations, and the prices are not much more than the smaller 300zx calipers being discussed here, and they...

Here is mine after I braced it, revised the T4 flange location, WG flange location and height, and thermal coated and wrapped it. I added two rod braces, the one you can see here, and one more to the front of the flange. Both are located to the mounting flange, between bolts, so they do not...

I put mine in the rear section of the HKS cat back.. It is straight up and down pretty much, and sits in the space between the gas tank, and the rear diff housing. :) I don't have a photo, but it was easy to remove the rear section of the exhaust, weld on the bung for the WB, and then...

Mine a few years back.. 88, in the Mica Red Metallic. (Maroon.. LOL) Rims are SSR Comps... 18" to clear the brakes. Dang this car needs to be painted.. :)

Welcome to the Supra world.. Now kiss your wallet good bye.. :) Without more info on the condition of the motor, and how much you want to spend in total on this car/engine/suspension/etc... This is a guess fest. If I were to reccomend anything, it would be to make sure your buddies...
