Driven the 450hp Supra... It's fun.. but more power is needed... :) Soon to have the 600, perhaps 650hp Supra... :) But I agree, street wise, it is mostly a waste of tires and traction. (Thus my point about doing this to an AWD vehicle like the A8 for example.) And most of the time? I...

Here is my current setup. (It is much like I did last time around, only slightly changed for the new turbo, and going to the Translator Pro/Speed Density setup.) Pipes are just Mandrel bends, cut and welded, smoothed and then powdercoated candy apple red in this case. (With clear coat.)...

LOL ! You can't have my 14" brakes ;)

There is no bolt on way to 1000rwhp in the MK3 with the 7MGTE under the hood. ;) Love the car, and the engine, but I'm also not an idiot about the money to power ratio of this combination. If you really like, the MK3 chassis/body, and want to make one faster than everyone else, here is the...

Clean it up, and see how accurate it is.. Really cool if you picked up a rifle with sub MOA accuracy for 90.00

You can upgrade your CT26 stock turbo and get 400rwhp easy. Advantages are it's all bolt on, and it's pretty easy. Downside is your limited to how much the stock exhaust manifold can flow. There have been a few 500hp cars on stock ported manifolds however. (Been close myself.) Other...

400 at the wheels is not hard to achieve on a stock lower end, with a metal head gasket. Sure you can pay the bucks, and have forged pistons put in, and a full lower rebuild, but if your engine is tight, I would use the money for suspension improvements. Start with a compression check...

Patriot is about the best for the money. All gun safes are insulated with sheetrock as the "fireproofing" so get the ones with 5/8" sheetrock layers v/s the 1/2" stuff, and it's rated better. (Or if your really handy, you can add more layers yourself, but it's not easy, or simple.) Should...

Ok, whatever, vanos, valvetronic, and now I see Nissan has their version in the G37. It works, that's the key :) I would expect to see some sort of variable valve timing, lift and complete control like this on new motors along with more direct injection engines. It would not supprise me...

While I have not looked at a set of NA rods, I belive that they are the same as the Turbo ones. If that is true, the rods have a hole bored in the upper shoulder area and corresponding hole in the bearing that sprays oil up onto the thrust surface of the bore, and the under side of the...

You should have just bought more Black Talon ammo ;) I still have a few boxes, and my defense magazine has 15 of them always loaded up and read to go if needed. Subsonic, teflon coated, and designed to open up and slice n' dice whatever they enter. The ultimate bullet in my opinion. (And...

Ok, the Cylon eyeball (AKA, KITT, Knightrider car..) is pretty funny. I'd do it just to have fun from time to time... Or put that on a motorcycle to try and keep people from turning left infront of me all the time, or worse... I swear, ride like everyone else is blind....

At minimum a nice rubber grommet for where the old slave was, and now the lines pass through.. Very cool indeed. I'm interested in this, but not sure that I need it. Let us know how engagement is around town.. that is where my current setup sucks the most.. It is all off, or on. NO...

For the money, the Bosch Bypass valve is the best deal out there.

Engine build photos. Block was milled to clear the stroker crank and Pauter rods. Has ROSS pistons, and everything is coated. The oil system is an easy mod. It just sends all the oil out at the NA port on the block, and then back in again at the stock oil galley return. Idea of just how...

Nice port work, and a great looking MK2. (Makes me wonder if I should have ever sold my 82 p-type hardtop.) The only problem with my 82 as the howling rear diff. It did not like 125mph across MT in the summer heat on old fluid... (My own fault, I should have changed it out sooner.) Never...

Nice.. Did you bake them in the oven? :) Nothing like fresh baked goods for our cars.. ;) And speaking of coatings, who has the new paint in this trio? LOL If I get my Supra running one of these days, we should arrange a mini-meet for Boise, and go cruising around if the snow melts off...

Seen it, but I laughed till it hurt anyway! :)

Yep. So is this dude... Dumbasses all... (The look on his face is priceless however.) http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=1539154

In general theory, if you are building a motor, you can tailor the bore v/s the stroke for the vehicle the engine is going to be run in. A "Square" engine is one where the bore and stroke are about the same. (Or are the same.) It generally results in an engine that is quite well rounded...
