    " we buy your 7m injectors" who was it?

    Suprasport does because they drill them out to flow a higher volume. I'll have an extra set of 440s laying around this weekend so I was thinking about this too, but they only give you $30 which in my opinion is way too low, I'm trying to find another place that'll buy cores...

    Fuel injectors.......

    The S5 TII injectors are a direct drop in replacement, INCLUDING clips. The S5 style clips will fit our harness, the S4 will NOT. These injectors will flow 550cc, although I had mine flow tested and they flowed a bit more The S5 TII injectors are high impedance, meaning they need a low current...

    Few questions about boost raising

    If you raise boost the AFM is taking in more air, so yes the ECU will compensate for it. Read that link and soak up as much information as possible, I think you'll come to enjoy what you learn!

    Power vs G-force graph?

    I saw a graph of an F1 cars horsepower vs acceleration on the internet somewhere and it was directly related (it seemed like a good site too, not some geocities crap)...but, all the equations for acceleration in my Land Vehicle Dynamics class use Torque, as well as the couple books that have...

    Blown MHG?

    ARP sells these studs specifically for our cars, I'm pretty sure they put a little R&D into what the torque value should be ;)

    Blown MHG?

    An 'exact' number has never been found or claimed by anyone. ARP says 85 ft-lbs IIRC. It's more important to have the torque value be ENOUGH, than what it actually is. Generally that is about 75 and up. Some people go overboard and torque it to 100 ft-lbs, although I wouldn't personally do...

    What upgrade to get 400+hp with a 57trim?

    I apologize, I've never heard of Gates hose before and will check them out. I can personally attest that Advance Auto Parts/Auto Zone/Napa hoses are shit. That little 90 degree heater hose below the power steering resorvoir? I replaced it two years ago with a hose from one of the listed...

    Anyone with an engine undercover please take a glance...(composite possibility)

    It's done! For the most part... Filled in the small problem areas with excess filler today and ground it down to where it should be, did this for a bunch of holes and areas so now everything transitions as it should. Ran out of time today to do stuff as hw is backed up from last week so I...

    What upgrade to get 400+hp with a 57trim?

    Replacing *ALL* the coolant hoses on the engine with Toyota hoses (parts shop hoses are made from some different material, it's worth the extra cash) definitely wouldn't hurt. I personally would put an aluminum radiator on it to replace the stocker, just to make sure everythings new, not clogged...

    560cc injectors

    That year RX7 had the S4 clip design, which you WILL need injector clips for. The S5 clip design (90-92 or something like that), for the turbo model RX7, are high impedance but clip right into the stock wiring harness, no injector clips needed. The 7MGTE has low impedance injectors, meaning the...

    Is Supra right for me?

    $4k will get you a decent car, with a bit of money left over to fix the problems that you inherited when you bought the car ;) Shit, even with $1k after the car, you could replace all the coolant hoses, vacuum lines, valve cover bolts/gaskets which'll remove most of the troubles you have...

    As long as the outer surface of the mold is smooth and inert it really doesn't matter. I needed something cheap, quick and effective and body filler fulfills all three. The newspaper won't be touching the part at all, I just used that so I don't have to use as much body filler. Tedious work but...

    Anyone done an aluminum driveshaft on the cheap?

    I'll have to agree with what gennis said...make sure, MAKE SURE the shop knows what they are doing (too many horror stories of blablabla, they didn't do this, or they did it wrong, forgot to install parts, etc) and source all the parts beforehand. If your halfway in and realize you need to spend...

    Reconditioning Fan Clutch w/ Pics (Completed)

    What are you spraying it with to get the rest of the silicone oil out? I've got mine draining on a desk next to me but without some coercing I think some of it is going to stay behind haha.

    Here's the picture I didn't upload of the paper mache stuff: Here's what I did this weekend: As you can see it's almost done, I need to touch up some areas and put in more filler, and sand down some other areas for smoother transitions. Laying down filler next to dried filler creates a 2...
