The catch can only filters vapor that goes from the valve covers, to the intake... If air flows the other way for any reason, it does not matter, but I'm sure the Parker unit will not be damaged by this reverse flow condition.. (Should be little, or no oil vapor in the intake air.. except what...

Have to love the turbo power, especially when it's large displacment v/s forced induction smaller motor... Ultimately, the more powerful car/engine combo wins, and it's nice to see a high HP MK3 put away a "classic" muscle car... The reaction of the crowd cracks me up.. they are all ready...

Never had guys in Honda's do this, but have run into some rednecks in trucks doing this, and some assholes in F-bodies also doing this. (Camaro/Firebird) I just kept my ground, and figured if they were going to run into me, then so be it, but I'm going to maintain my lane, and try to avoid...

The Goodyears will be great wet or dry. (I like them very much, so much, I have them on two of my cars..) Great wet traction. Inspired dry. (Not the most of any tire, but it's more than you can use on the street 99% of the time, and they are almost as good on wet pavement...) They do get...

1)My 88 Supra Turbo with the stroker. (Running of course..LOL) 2)S8 with a custom twin turbo setup, solar sunroof, alcantera etc.. (Have it sort of, but who really needs more than 300hp in a daily driver sedan... LOL) 3)Veyron. 4)70 Camaro with a twin turbo 7.0L LS7 engine and automatic...

Mk3. Still on my stock motor, bolt on T4 & 550/lexus mods... redline in 5th gear... Tires then were 275/40 17's on the rear.. Something like 173mph on stock 88T gears in the 5 speed. I was impressed with how planted and composed the MK3 is high speed. A8. Pulled a 140mph cruise control for...

I wanted the outlet on the compressor to go straight down.. not sideways, and then have to use a 90 elbow to route it to the FMIC. That would have been the easy route however, and likely, work just as well.

Parker is one of just many builders/suppliers of air filter canisters that can be adapted to a "catch can" duty. Mine is not the largest, but it does have a filter and swirl design inside of it that will keep any air passing from the valve covers to the turbo quite clean. It was about...

Blue hose that goes from the throttle body, to each valve cover, then over to the "catch can" filter, and then back into a port welded onto my custom 4" ID intake pipe. The AN10 sized stainless hose that comes up from under the intake pipe is the oil line. The blue canister mounted on the...

I never took any photos of it, but my manifold is not stock from China anymore :) I used three T4 flanges, welded onto the manifold, to lift and turn the turbo how I wanted it. (Think sliding a deck of cards while twisting the pile...) This moved my turbo forwared, turned the compressor...

Here is mine. Using a Parker colealessing (I know I spelled that wrong, I'm sure.) air seperator to keep any oil vapor out of the intake pipe/turbo/FMIC and IC pipes as much as possible. Yes, that is a K&N filter, sucking dirt and all... Mine goes just like stock, from the throttle body, to...

Interesting. If they work fine, there should no longer be anyone without one. :)

The specs that I have. 69.5mm inducer minor. (IIRC, the major is like 88mm or something...) Compressor housing AR is .70. (Thus the T-70 name I suppose.) P-Trim exducer. Hotside AR is .63, housing is not divided. (I ported it slightly, and it should spool up nice, yet still flow quite well.)...

Look at it this way. The stock CT has a pretty small exhaust wheel, and there is a good gain going to a 3" ID exhaust. You are going to see a gain going to 4" ID, but only if your ratio of exhaust wheel to ID is similar. (As noted, the higher the HP goals, the more you might see a gain from...

I have one from SS, that I'm sure was sourced from Titan with the CF tube, and steel yoke ends. It's about 10lbs total. Any ideas on the tube tourqe value? That is a great price for a shipped Aluminum setup. :)

OK, this is now one of the best posts I've read in awhile on EGR, and why/how it works with the TCCS... (Almost wish I'd kept mine in working order...) Few questions. Is there a JDM TCCS ECU that will plug and play with the stock USDM 88 turbo harness? (Give the Maft Pro a better starting...

So, it seems they must be routing two T fittings and a hose between the heater hose feed, and the upper radiator hose? (Idea being to pull more coolant off the back of the motor faster....) Interesting idea. Why not just drill/tap AN10 male fitting to the thermostat housing, and run a...

I'm guessing your talking about the hose between the turbo outlet, and the lower cast fitting on the right frame rail? Easy as can be to fix this, and you'll feel right at home shopping at Blowes or Home Despot. :) :) First, remove your drainpipe bastardization, and cut off the part that...

I'm interested in what the KIA version will look like. :) I was never much for the Korean cars, but have to admit, the 07 KIA Sedona van we have is excellent, and was 10k less than the Honda version of the same thing.... Would I buy a V8, or powerful V6 Kia coupe? Depends on the price, and...

Stud remover is the best way. Two nuts is cheap, but a royal PITA to actually do this on a entire engine? Yep, 30.00 well spent on the right tool as IJ noted... :) Here is my reccomendation. Helicoil your exhaust manifold studs. Change them to SAE sized/thread, and buy a good quality...
