    Q about the 2nd gear in my automatic 88

    we have more gears to lower the engine RPM to lower the fuel consumption. 60 in 2nd gear eats more fuel then it would at 60 in 4th gear. which is why we have more than two or three gears... yes you can drive around town in 2nd, hope you like getting pulled over for staying at like ~4000RPM @...

    Low coolant, but it refills itself.

    Turbo mounted Rear of car?

    screw the lines, the oil return has to have a pump because your plumbing it alllll the way to the back of the car, and theres no way you can gravity drain that. haha. i think its a waste of time... and we dont have the engine for a rear mounted turbo either. k.i.s.s. - keep it simple stupid

    divorced downpipe + 3'' exhaust back, cold air intake, and a boost controller will net you close to 280whp... depending on a lot of other stuff of course.

    possibly blown turbo?

    im not 100% sure how it happens... i just know that people have had coolant loss problems, and then they loop the lines and the problem is fixed.... so yeah. next time just read what people post, because if you say certain things, then you will get called out on them, especially in the...

    possibly blown turbo?

    he fixed a BHG... didnt do a rebuild. and yes, the turbo can spew coolant out the exhaust. how? it cracks... and whats more important is that the block was flat, and the head was decked. fastest way to tell if your turbo is the issue, loop the coolant lines and just leave them...

    Turbo mounted Rear of car?

    uhh... and not to mention their engines are twice the displacement of a supra engine. most trucks have at least a 5.7L or larger... so you have to take that into account. a kid at my school had a turbo truck, but blew the engine shortly after cause he would just boost it like a crack head and...

    is powdercoating throttle bodies okay?

    not an argument, just opinions on how you should do things... everybody doesnt do the same things. the spray paint works for me as it was just meant to look nice. but if i already had all the parts blasted/acid dipped/chemical cleaned, i would powder everything i could get my hands on.

    is powdercoating throttle bodies okay?

    wanna bet? by the time you get your part even cleaned good enough for powder coating, i'll have my paint on and in the sun. the stuff i use dries fast. and i dont need to have a 100% clean surface to paint on. not to mention i didnt have to disassemble anything... the springs? yeah i...

    is powdercoating throttle bodies okay?

    thats a waste of time i think.... if your going to half ass the powder, then just use spray paint. it holds great, and my engine heat baked my stuff on... only way i see aluminum is if it gets chipped by a screwdriver, or some other way.
