I'm with you on that IJ. :) Wider on HP engines is not a problem... Mine are minimum gapped .17 upper and .19 lower respectively, but I have a few where they are more like .21... Blow by I know, but they will never expand and stick at that size I hope. Just make sure you don't put the...

I've delt with this on three sets of ROSS pistons. They reccomend a 6k clearance to the bore so the piston will never expand and stick in the bore. (So your bore is 6k larger than the maximum diameter of the piston.) I've found on my coated pistons, that 4k reduces the slap, and I do not...

Yes Poodles, and I like that they are just a short drive away in Utah. :) So, with this type of accuracy possible, why do you need the 700? :) http://www.robarm.com/images/Customer%20Images/Suppressed-XCR-008.gif This is what made those holes.. :)...

These are tasty... (And not that far away.. buy a scratch and dent rifle...) http://world.guns.ru/assault/as77-e.htm Thinking of 7.62X39 to use some surplus ammo, and widen my choices in my own personal arsenal.. but then again, the .223 stuff has always been fine, and they make a nice...

If I was buying a AR type rifle again, It would be one with a AK style pushrod/piston type bolt release. (Less cleaning issues, better reliability for the long term, and the extra weight is good for keeping the muzzle down under fast use.) Israel makes some nice .223 Galil rifles...

Nice, very nice. (But I don't have the tax stamp for the suppressed version.. ) Check this place out. http://www.tacticalsol.com/homefast.htm The black Houge stock is like mine, but my barrel is black, and not fluted. (But actually about as light as TS's fluted alloy setup.) My scope is...

LOL @ Mrs. Manners.. Clip v/s Magazine... Sure, you can use clips to speed load your magazine.. Like on the M1. And your right, most people call magazines clips, and cartridges a bullet. (When really, a bullet is part of a cartridge....) Ok, back on topic. There are many .22 rim fire...

Leak more air. See my answer in your other post on the exhaust. More air past the AFM = Higher boost pressure before FC is triggered in most cases. Downside is you are not adding more fuel besides what you get from more pressure on the regulator. This can make you run lean at higher...

Ok, have you tried this. 1)You need more air "leaked" around the AFM sensor. (There is a stock port in the lower passage, with a bolt in there. That bolt is tuned/turned to give you FC at about 12 to 13 psi of boost based on air flow through the stock AFM.) By opening up that port, you...

Yep, for the money, the Maft-Pro is the best option going. Never tried Eman Ultimate. Might work however, but why bother when for less you get more with the Maft-Pro? From what I understand of fuel cut, going to larger injectors, allows you to "lie" to the stock ECU about how much air is...

Possible, but not very worth the effort unless you really like fabrication, and think twins is the only way to get the engine compartment "Bling" your looking for. There are many single turbo options that will flow more, and spool faster. (The MK4 guys prove it all day long.) There are a...

I have found my cam belts hold up better with some slight added pressure v/s just the spring... Call me crazy if you like :) I've changed out about 6 timing belts on Toyota I6 engines.. Both 5M and 7M, and added slight pressure over the spring, never a problem in many 100,000 miles :) By...

Head is the same. Slightly different cams from the Turbo the NA. (Moves the power around, but does not make more IMHO. Some disagree with this, but who really cares? LOL The 7M engine makes more power with more fuel and more boost. Cams are secondary to this unless your trying for ultimate...

The RX7 oil cooler you have already has a perfectly fine thermostat built into it. The line distance from your motor to the filter to the cooler back to the motor is NOT the problem Your low oil operation due to oil leak is the DIRECT CAUSE OF YOUR ENGINE FAILURE. (You as much told us so...

Your oil pump drive is SHOT! That clearance on your retainer is way, way, way out of spec. (It's only supposed to be a few thousands... See the TSRM.) That loose, you should have a ring of wear on your front cover from where the oil pump drive sprocket might have rubbed on it when the...

"The oil pan gasket is new and is spotless" #1 Source of your oil leak, cork, or any type of punched gasket on the pan. IMNSHO, just use gasket maker like "The right stuff" and you will have no pan leaks period. (Same goes for valve covers, use the stock type rubber gaskets, but run a bead of...

Breaking traction is the safety valve for everything else :) Be sure that whatever he breaks, will be on my list of mods to my car. (My car that never runs lately... LOL Not because it's broken, but I'm too busy having fun to work on it...)

Wow. That is truely insane. Looks like fun, but it's insane all the same. That guy is going to wind up dead unless he figures out a better brake system in my opinion. I'm only willing to go fast when I can slow down faster!

Ok got tired of the endless arguement over the start small v/s go 1300cc Busa for your first bike... blah blah blah. Want to have fun? Want a bike? Here is my advice. 1) Wear a helmet anytime you are on the bike. NO exceptions. I have a Scopion, but find one you like, is comfortable...

Yep, I'm so tempted with the STI or EVO... It's only money right? LOL I've ridden in a pretty fast EVO, and test driven a STI and EVO back to back, and liked the EVO for the handling, but the STI as a DD. (No cruise control on the EVO is rediculus.) Waiting to see what the new EVO is like...
