I think the Eman has the highest recorded rpm at 7190 on the stock TCCS. (Missed a shift while boosting... engine just spun up to that rpm from the stock rev limit for the 6M crank.) My crank is not stock however :) It has 97.5mm of stroke, 327sbc rod journals spinning Pauter rods swinging...

I think in both cases, money=speed/reliability. The more you spend on parts, the more likely they are to hold up well at higher power levels. You are saying you just want a 14 second car, the 7MGTE is that easy, with a modified CT, or easy bolt on turbo. Since your car is a NA, your...

Looks like the same thing, and I have one, it turned out to be a great deal so far. (Build your braces that are similar to the stock lower one going from the engine mount to the side of the turbo, and upper one from the head to the turbo, and you should be braced fine IMHO.) What turbo are...

Mk3, I have a set of slightly larger than stock ROSS forged pistons, coated with thermal barrier on top, moly on the skirts and thermal dispersant on the underside that were used for less than 15 min. (Bad mistake on my part, and the engine started, and ran, and then died quickly as the bearings...

I run two of them. :) They work great. (Custom upper pipe, there are photos at 7MPower.) Mine's the beater looking 88T with the really old photos. (I don't have that engine anymore, or those wheels, but I'm still running the same IC pipes I built a few years ago.) Basicly I used the stock...

From what I'm finding, the BB GT turbo's can run slightly larger hotside AR's and still spool fine on the street, yet flow more on top as a result. (But they spool up even faster with smaller AR's, but you lose some flow as a result.) Classic trade off here. High power, or driveablility...

I'm seriously considering this turbo as it's low cost, and appears to be well made. (The Masterpower unit.) Check out the website for their facility. It's not made in China by slave labor, but in Brazil in a very clean looking modern factory. I've owned a Tarus pistol for a few decades that...

Any more updates? I have someone that wants to buy my bolt on T4, and I'm ready to change over to this setup. Now that you've been driving on this turbo/manifold combination for awhile, what do you think of it day to day? Thanks.

Aussies are RHD, so it's normal there to get the nice JDM stuff. (I think you guys have some import laws however that are pretty interesting however, so you can't just get anything without some red tape and palm greasing....) Colorful paint on that MK4.

I've used two different "C's" shifters, one was very worn, and only had one pin to locate the fulcrum ball, so it allowed it to twist. Basicly it was a very short throw, but not very accurate. The second one is still in my car, and I'm getting to like it 90% of the time. Some shifts to 3rd and...

Wow, go to work for a few days, come back and people are leaving.... Then again, look at the car, and consider the loss.... Guess nothing really has changed. At least the Lam master has the balls to stick around with his "custom" MK3. BTW, those mods are truely Fugly. (Look it up.)

There are adapters to fit the R154 to this GM engine right? (Replaces the bell housing IIRC.) I know GM is using a version of the R150/154 Asin trans in the Colorado pickup, and some Mopar aplications in Jeep's. There are tons of adapters out there for SBC swaps to these transmissions if the...

I have PB brakes in 14" rotor size front and back. (14x1.38" front, 14x1.25 rear. Calipers are GNIII 6 piston front, and Billet forged dynalite 4 piston rear.) Took forever to get them. The rear kit was custom, with only a few made at the time. Then when I finally did get them installed...

Profec E-01 does not talk to the Eman Ultimate? (According to the write up's it does, with no problems.) Is there a soft ware patch that uses of the Eman and Profec E-01 will need to allow the two to talk?

If I Remember Correctly. (IIRC.) The 2000GT is so rare, that most, if not all of them have been snapped up by collectors. (Usually Asian collectors.) Same goes for the rest of the the asian rare cars, they are museum pieces now, and likely will not hit the auction blocks the way "muscle" cars...

You guys are going to kick me, but really what are you going to do with anything over 600+ at the rear wheels? (Besides make tire smoke?) After driving a few AWD cars, and the A8 for a year now, I'm thinking the only way to go is more power, and AWD. Really, really want to buy a used RS6...

Ok, so let's put this out there again. Start with stock cams, on a mildly built 7M. (Can be stock, if in good running order.) Turbo needs to be at least a upgraded CT, or something in the 60-1 range would be a good idea. (Most of us are near this point anyway) Stock springs...

What gets me is this idea that "stock" is the only way to go. There are guys at car shows that stick up their noses at custom parts, or better aftermarket parts, and only want to discuss the stock options and parts. (What a load of horseshit.) Stock our cars are slow, underpowered and...

Oh, forgot to mention that the lighter the shaft, the more your going to notice it. Like everything that is driven or turned on the car, if you reduce weight on the wheels, tires, flywheel, clutch disk, driveline and other rotating or moving parts, it makes the car "feel" lighter. Your car...

Simple truths about driveshafts. 1)Shorter ones are simple to balance. 2)Rubber isolated center/carriers make most setups less vibration prone. 3)The more pieces you have, the more it weighs.(All things being equal of course.) 4)One piece shafts are lighter just for the reduction in cast...
