    good gaskets?

    only other gasket i bought was my HKS MHG... and i just cut the opening on the TB gasket they send with it... but the funny part is that your going to have a ton of leftover stuff because they put the n/a and turbo gaskets all in one box... i even had TWO y-pipe gaskets that i just threw into my...

    Hi Supramania members!

    if you think strut bars make the can handle good, throw on a nice suspension setup, or even just a set of nice struts and springs, you'll be wayyyy happier. but good starting point. sounds like a good fun supra. its always nice to see CA members on here.

    Probe piston issue...please, only smarterer people

    i'll let you know what they look like after a 1500miles... im pulling my head, so i'll take pics to show what that little piece looks like. i was worried when i got them, but didnt see that big of an issue because probe wouldnt make it that way if it was going to just fail.

    How important are torque plates exactly

    AND i was reading in a book at work, about engine building, that you should also gap your rings with the torque plate installed... which actually makes perfect sense since then it will be the same when you torque the head down... never thought about it on my engine though....

    who owns this car!?!?!

    yeah your burns exhaust is really nice. his exhaust is pretty nice too, i like seeing custom exhaust vs. the bolt on ones... and im going to do a dual 3'', just need to order my downpipe and then i'll start fabbing it up. not be nearly as nice as that, but it will still be the same concept.

    who owns this car!?!?!

    turbo drifter stated it cost $1000... most people cringe at that high of a number... but if that was the cost for the downpipe, and full exhaust, its actually a pretty damn good deal considering its materials, pieces, and the amount of welding involved.

    Coolant Bypass Hose

    you could just plug them... as there not needed unless the turbo is coolant fed.

    ceramic coating

    you ceramic coat the top of the piston... not the sides, so in that aspect the bore size would stay the same. now a moly coating on the sides is a different story... but yes, you can do all of that, pretty intense, but it can be done.

    Compression test results

    did you do this test with the throttle 100% opened? because that will affect the results... but if it was a BHG, i would think your compression would be much lower on the cylinder(s) that are blown... do a leak down test to see if 4 and 5 are really leaking into each other. from the...
