Why go just Maft, when you can go Maft Pro? (And get a setup that does SO much more, and allows you to do more in the future?) Just my .02psi, but I'd spend the extra money, and get the Maft Pro that is the best piggyback out there at this time for the 7MGTE.

My no leak method. 1) Clean up your valve covers. 2) Clean up your head. 3) Use new gaskets. They are less than 20.00. Ok, just like the TSRM says, you need beads of sealant along the front cam caps on both sides at the 90 degree corners. I've found that running a bead of "The right...

I use two Bosch bypass valves. Don't remember the numbers, but they are off a Porsche 996 Turbo IIRC, and they were 30.00 for both. Here is the key. They must be installed the right direction. I see people with them installed wrong all the time, and those same people complain they leak...

I like my sub better. :) Takes up less space too, and it has a custom grille... :) I have 4" Diamond mids in the door, and tweeters in the panel.. Same with the back. (If I was to do this again, I'd go with new door panels, and larger speakers in the door, same tweeter setup, and 5.25's in...

I like my Wilwood based system better. :) But they were about that much. (The rear brake uses the stock parking brake system, so the rear brakes were more than the front ones.) ARz's setup is the best deal around for what you get. Front brakes. GNIII 6 piston calipers, 14"x1.38" slotted...

They are racing slicks. Also check out the exhaust photos, they built a divorced downpipe, and they put a wall in the housing to keep it complete, and I'm not sure why they merged the divorced pipe just before they dumped all the exhaust? Weird. They could have just dumped the divorced...

My guess is the fan clutch too. :) Larger radiator is a nice touch, and that CSR two rwo is a great deal, but if you don't have a good fan clutch, and shroud installed, your asking for cooling problems with the A/C running. Replacing the fan clutch is not very hard to do, about 50.00. It...

Or off a used motor. :) Don't use your pullies to pry on cases, and they last longer... ;(

This is the ultimate setup. Just needs more power.. :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQjXsvEhLyQ&mode=related&search= LOL at the license plate. Ok more crazyness. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jCHGsfQlTQ&mode=related&search= Not sure I like the body, but it appears functional... I...

I so wish I'd taken some photos of my head, during the porting and after the coatings etc. I removed the valve guide and post in the exhaust runners. Smoothed them into nothing. The valves have undercut stems, so there is minimal flow obstruction. On the intakes, I shaped them into vanes...

Hal, I'm actually still putting it all back together on the T70 :) Perhaps this weekend I'll have it up and running on the Maft Pro. On my prior setup, Bolt on T4 60-1 DBB Chra, Lexus meter, 550's and the Emanage/E-01, it was very happy on pump gas at mid lower 20psi. I generally added 30%...

The screw in either the stock housing, or the Lexus V8 unit only adjust "leaked" air past the Karmann sensor. The more leaked air you have, the higher the point before the TCCS will "see" a need to "Fuel Cut." From what I know, at 1500hz signal from either AFM, the TCCS goes into FC. The...

Yep, tone ring to sensor clearance can sure cause all kinds of issues. :) Your ABS warning light should have been on however if the system has problems IIRC. Try cleaning up your slid pins, lube them and make sure the bellows on each are in good shape. After you are done cleaning up the...

Did you run the new ground from the mounting bolt at the starter housing, to the main grounding block at the apron? (Or daisy chain it from the starter to the block, to the main ground, and possibly even back up to the battery ground?) I have never had the contacts go bad, but that sounds...

Personally, I think for most people, a slightly higher static CR on mild boosted engines is a better setup around town. (More responsive.) High boost pressures are detonation prone if the right amount of fuel is not added, and some coatings can help out here to limit heat transfer, and...

Heck, screw the 2JZ, put a SBC in there, auto trans, and it's EASY to make it into a decient car power wise. (Besides, the auto is easy to figure out as shift linkage is a cable...) Wrecked F body. Get engine/ecu and trans, and other parts you might want like engine/trans mounts for...

If you look into the stock head, there is casting and machined sharp edges just inside of all the runners. This creates turbulence, and that lowers the ability to make power in some cases. (Some swirl is good for mixtures at lower engine speed, but pretty much, it lowers the power ability of...

Well, being a depth type filter v/s single pass paper, it's pretty hard to clog it up. Canton does reccomend that when you see a 2psi drop in pressure, to replace the filter. What I've done is replace it after the build. There were some particles in there I'd rather not see in a new motor...

I use my power bleeder. (Takes a compressed air source, and it sucks all the oil fluid out of the system at the calipers.) They are about 75.00 last time I bought one. (Has a clear plastic container with a trigger handle on the top that is part of the lid to the container. These work best.)...

Ok, the Bosch, and the stocker are all designed to leak air under vac conditions. When you go from vac to pressure over atmospheric, then the valve closes. Untill you close your throttle, then the vac pulls the valve open again, and boost pressure leaks back into the intake. The flutter...
