I built those IC pipes a few years back, but have changed the color now to candy apple red with clear coat. (Powdercoated of course.) :) The T-70 fit pretty well, but it was only on the 3rd try that it fit so well.... The ebay manifold really is a good deal, but only if you either have an...

I second that assesment Jetjock :) EGR is/was used to reduce unburned HC's and in some part, allows poor engine designs to deal with crappy gas while still running more static CR than they otherwise could. (The recycled exhaust gas dilutes the intake charge, reducing the possibilty of...

That "thing" you photographed is designed to "leak" air to the intake manifold, raising the idle speed/engine speed when you put a load on your power steering pump. (The metal pipe that crosses infront of the cam cover, and runs to a hose attached to your intake manifold? Well, it's attached to...

I've tried the following. (Just for shits, on tires about to go in the dumpster...) Pulled the ABS fuse... (Instant removal of the system control, so basicly, stock, non ABS brakes.) Keep in mind, this was on the stock sawblades, many years ago, and a worn out set of all season tires made...

I'm with Andy on this. I challange anyone who thinks they have the skills to outbrake my Supra with it's stock ABS system controlling the much larger brakes on my car. All the hoopla about being able to out modulate your brakes better than a computer is PURE BULLSHIT. (Sorry to the guy above...

Hmmm. Car was about 6k when I bought it. Brakes are another 4k Various engine(s) another 15k Wheels/tires...More like another 4k total over time. Suspension mods, 1k. Now I'm depressed, I thought I was only into it about 25k... turns out it's more like 30... LOL New motorcycle is...

Lam is very proud of his creation. I think if it's functional, then it's OK. Some people don't like my car for example. :)

Measure the journal. Look up the spec. One light pass with the brake hone. Measure how much you removed.. Repeat untill your happy :)

Ok, your going to kick my ass for even bringing this up, but while staring at the engine one early morning, and some newer designs with cross bolted mains, it hit me. Just make the main caps much taller. Make a girdle that moves the stock oil pan lower, or removes it completely leaving a...

I've seen your crash photos before Ian, but never the list of your injuries. Dang, you are very lucky to be alive, that is for sure. Whoever said cars have crush or crumple zones, is absolutely correct. The newer the design, generally the better they are too. (This was invented by Benz many...

My RPS has held up to some missed shifts, but it's dang unfriendly around town. (6 puck sprung hub, three pucks are sintered metal, three are carbon/composite.) Is that a fidanza flywheel? I have one, and it appears to be the same as mine. Hope to never break a strap, or worse, grenade the...

My MP T-70 uses standard T4 sized oil supply and drain mounts. The threads were NPT IIRC. But I did not use the threads, I used the adapters for the feed, and the drain. (The feed has a small hole in it, limiting the amount of oil my high pressure setup will flow to the turbo, so it keeps it...

IJ did what I've been talking about for years. (Cutting the back side of the impact bar at an angle to allow more airflow over the core...) he used a EBAY 4" core. Mine is a the old MAXX direct fit with a 3" core, but I have the same issue, of the core being partially covered up by the...

I'm 41 on Thanksgiving. :) Old enough to remember when the MK3 was brand new, and that I wanted one then to DRIVE IT. (Graduated out of High School in 84, so the MK2 was a new car then.... ) Heck, I remember when you could buy a cheap, run down junker 69 Camaro or Chevelle for 1500.00 and...

LOL @ Flub, Ron's car and mine have something in common... They are both about done, but neither is running yet :) BTW, Excellent work, design and execution on your Supra Ron! Very nice indeed. :)

I've done more than 5mm, not sure it's needed, but I have many other mods as well. (Everything is 10an sized from the pump to the galley.) IIRC, oil pressure is no longer an issue ;)

Mine has 69.5mm compressor minor in a .70 polished housing, hot side is P trim with a .63 undivided cast iron T4 flanged housing. It is the T-70 being sold by Mike turbo on eBay. It was just over 600.00 shipped. Qualty of workmanship is as good as any other turbo I've looked over. I...

We ended up doing these a few times... finally got a set that was not too tight.. IIRC, they also put in one set w/o the oil holes lined up, so it had to be done again. Watch out that your install tool is not putting a sharp expanded lip in the bearing too. (And that's what is hanging up the...

Just because the turbo is a "MasterPower" unit and not another maker does not indicate it's a POS. MasterPower makes turbos for many vehicles around the world, and is very similar to Garrett in many ways except price. Think about this. If you buy a Tarus pistol, it is just as accurate as the...

A strong, smooth engagement clutch for the R154 would be very nice indeed. Keep us posted. (MY RPS six puck is brutal, and not much fun in traffic, or on slight hills, especially when backing up..) And that is with the sprung hub option.
