Powdercoating is well worth the money. Not easy to scratch, and it does not chip off like paint. Clean your baffles with lots of hot soapy water, then blast them out with brake cleaner. Then clean them some more :)

Brent, is it just your HKS controller than needs the top of the WG hooked up, or should I source manifold vac/pressure to the top of the WG, and compressor pressure to the lower fitting with the control valve in that line? I was planning on NOT using the top port of the WG at all actually...

There are exceptions to the rule on both sides to this issue, but the reality is the VAST majority of people flooding across the border into the USA for work purposes take advantage of the system. Case in point. I worked an union shop where I was one of 3 white guys in a shop of more than 60...

I think it was a misprint.... He was really thinking 300.00, but misplaced the decimal... Same thing on the 1600 figure... really is 160rwhp on the stock NA, but what do I know...

Well, I was talking to a MK4 owner, who has an insane race MK4 built up, and just bought a "DD" used, in decient shape, but by no means nice shape MK4 who thought he got a good deal at 24,000.00..... Insane. Old car. Someone elses crappy mods. And you get a good "deal" at just 24k... What...

If I was going to do this all over again, I think that I'd pick what I want to do in the real world, then get the education needed to do that. (Ended up nowhere near where I started in school, but by the end of college, I was just trying to get done, and get out of there actually.) Thought...

Never has a nice car needed a paint job so bad. V6 v/s I6 not being as reliable? WTF are you talking about? Do you even know? LOL The engine's Honda has developed are pretty decient designs. (Let's just say when Honda goes F1 racing, they win, and I've yet to see Toyota dominate any racing...

Either one will work fine, just keep the oil bath "oiled" up. (I've seen these used in Saudi and other places with serious sand and dust problems with great results. *But you have to keep adding oil to the oil bath filter to keep it wet so the crap sticks to the oil. K&N will probably be less...

Really would have been nice to have my Supra there, but It was cool to see a few cars and some changes people have made since last year. (Like the 2JZ now under the hood of that sweet MK2 with the mesh wheels...) Get a single on that engine with the right mods for a good 600rwhp and lay waste...

Interesting. Does not seem that fast actually, and it's sort of unwieldly looking. (Looks like it does not handle that well actually, note how it pushes on the corners, and the rider is really working to keep it on the intended path...) I think that a road leagal ATV based on a...

The oil bath filters work great if your in sandy places. (Like where that powerwagon was designed to go.) Nice thing is they don't clog up like paper ones do. (Same idea as your K&N, the dust/dirt sticks to each other particle, and is coated over time with oil so some other particle of dirt...

West Nile? Look up your symptoms on WebMD.com and see what it says. Then go see a Dr. Get well soon man.

Depends on the signal. X, K or KA (Wideband) and Lidar. The V1 is better on X, and the range on K is about the same as Escort. On KA I belive the V1 kicks ass. (POP type use, it's very good.) Everything sucks on Lidar. (V1 is ok, but nothing is very good, there is just not enough scatter...

Well, as the MK4's age, they are starting to become just as "unreliable" as any other old cars. (Toyota builds a great car, but nothing lasts forever.) Case in point. One of the cars I caravan'd down with (a nice MK4) broke a water pump while in Vegas, and I don't know if it made it home...

I've run 25psi with no problems spark wise on Irridium plugs gapped at .28. Stock coils, and both NGK and now Moroso wires. I did add a second ground wire to the coil mount, directly to the main grounding point at the fuse box, and then another one to the battery, and engine. The coil pack...

I think coatings have something to do with how you determine clearances too. Uncoated, 6k might be fine. Coated it will make for a slap happy motor. (They don't expand as much, so you only lose the slap when you drive the motor hard and heat up the pistons to maximum temps.) After...

Well, ended up finding a tap that would work with the fittings I have. (You would think everyone would carry NPT thread taps since these are the most common ones here in the USA.. Nope, ended up going all over town. Heck what I spent in gas today would have paid for new fittings, and different...

Ok here is the question. Every turbo setup I've done before has the pressure source on the compressor cover. (There is a pad you can drill and tap there.) This T70 does not have a pad.... So, where is the best place to source the pressure to work the wastegate? Can I just use an...
