I'd be interested to see the same ammount of boost from the same turbo.. to see which motor puts out more hp/tq.

I'm with you, i actually read up and took notes off wikipedia last night. I've decided to take a class at my community college next semester as well. I'm looking into getting a TIG welder because I'm interested in welding some aluminum. Its a shame I don't know anything about it yet so I cant...

Thanks for the help guys, I'm in the process of re-routing my IC pipes and re-locating the MAF sensor in a place where it will not become heatsoaked. I re-set my ECU and code 24 cleared.. it only showed up after the MAF had become heat-soaked. I also noticed this is causing me to lose MAJOR...

Check the other thread.. this whole thread is about the motor itself being a Turbo-A motor. We know the car is not considering on S/F he said it was a Turbo A in a USDM chassi. He wasn't trying to sell the entire car, nor was he trying to claim the chassi was JDM/Turbo A. And yes, FCD's were...

Where can I buy one? I feel another GB!!! If we have enough maybe we can get in on this hawtness for cheap!

Whats traction?

I sanded the block. lol. I'm happy.. its lasted a year on high boost. Its a good thing I've been building a back-up motor.

Great news!

^ and the turbo. a member on this forum had a slew of problems which all cleared when he relocated the MAF.

just take a day.. relax and do it right. I did the above, it only took me about 6 hours on some nasty original 87 suspension. I followed dylans suspension guide too.

Thats a clean car!

Stock manifold

here ya go.. http://www.freewebs.com/supraboost/files/1bar%20boost%20gauge.doc Its not difficult, I actually use this guide to turn my boost gauge into a wideband gauge, just to let me know if I'm in the OK or not.. not for perfect accuratcy or not. It works great since i know how to...

LOL SH, We'll have to meet up and have a show down ;) Edit: haha likewise SH!

N/A cams

Even with a boost leak, and fuel problems my HP and TQ still intersected at 5.2k RPM as well... weird!

thats a shame :( I'd say its worth a shot to port it out, if the downpipe helped that much then porting the WG port must do some good.

^ I'm with you there.. my engine doesn't have that many miles (its JDM-YO).. but its been lasting great at 400+ RWHP. In the meantime I'm deciding to rebuild my spare block with stock rods and pistons or forged.

I had a HUGE boost creep problem, I ported out the WG, ported the DP and all flanges that looked like they could possibly get in the way of flow / movement, tried a different actuator. After all that it only fixed the problem maybe by 20%. I upped the boost from 14 PSI to 20 PSI with my EBC...

Gotcha, thanks! you have no idea how much that was bugging me.
