    2 Questions - Exhaust System and Spark plugs

    yes and no... they donate to ROTM and stuff, which is really cool. but if you buy a water pump from driftmotion.com it doesnt really benefit the site directly... its nice to see that your learning, and that your planning this out. hope all goes well with the car.

    Am I looking at signs of bad turbo seal?

    you can rebuild the turbo at your house, but dont count on it last long.... you dont have the tools or the equipment to assemble it and balance it like a true turbo shop could. not to mention they could do it in 1/3 the time... haha

    7M-Gte Engine, Putting back together Questions

    bare minimum i would go with a MHG and some ARP head studs. then at least hone the block, deck it, and make sure its all cleaned and straight, with NO cracks anywhere. the head i would get decked so its 100% flat across it, then get a valve job to make sure everything will continue to...

    What octane and is it worth the price?

    screw receipts... pull the valve covers off. i wouldnt believe him even if he had the receipts... yes it would be daily driveable, but you might need to get it tuned because of the cams, but for just driving around town not trying to race you should be fine. i have a 'built' engine and its...

    What's the thickest head gasket? 3mm?

    worry about one part of the car at a time right now... haha but all of the MHG i know of come with a coating of viton on it, i know the HKS does, and im 99% sure the cometic does from the pictures i've seen of them, and you use NOTHING on them, just clean the mating surfaces with acetone...

    What's the thickest head gasket? 3mm?

    suprarich is a titan dealer and will hook you up. there are plenty of vendors on here who will take care of you... zankoku or suprarich are both great guys. driftmotion is also topnotch.

    Am I looking at signs of bad turbo seal?

    if by vavles you mean the valve stem seals... then yes. but not the vavles directly. OEM trubo rebuild is 275, at least from the place i used. but do a leak down test to see if your valve seats, HG, or your rings are bad... because a leak down test will tell you if any of those are wrong...

    What's the thickest head gasket? 3mm?

    talk to zankoku performance... there a vendor on here and they wont rape you on the price of a head gasket... they were gonna get me a cometic but i went with a hks mhg instead. and just FYI... titan MHG = rebadged cometics but the 2mm titan is almost 180...

    What's the thickest head gasket? 3mm?

    if your not going to machine the block, get a cometic. because the HKS probably wont seal. it has to have a 30RA (how rough the surface is) or less. the cometic is 50RA... did you do a compression or a leakdown test before you tore it apart to check the condition of the rings though? i would...

    What's the thickest head gasket? 3mm?

    people shave the block and head and then slap on a 1.2mm and there fine... i went with a 3mm... and wish i had gone with a 2mm. and if your worried about the sealing surface, then get the cometic, as there MUCH more forgiving.

    Intercooler upgrade advice

    those two lines next to the intercooler pipe lead back to the oil filter housing... would have taken about 30seconds to trace them back. no reason for stainless steel lines unless you go with a full on oil cooler setup. just go down to the auto store and get some power steering hose to...

    What's the thickest head gasket? 3mm?

    wow... your one of the smart ones. your bottom end should be pretty good then. just drain the oil, fill with some generic supertech 5-30, run that for 5 or 10 miles, then change it out for the good stuff. that way if anything shows up in the oil after you do the BHG you wont be wasting 40-50 on...
