    Infinity Ref Speakers?

    First off I want to say I am all about sound quality over bass or anything like that. I have always loved my infinitys. I used to be hard into car audio, I have had over 10 different setups in my truck, and finally stuck with my current setup. My truck has infinity kappa speakers all around...

    emericaskater285's MKIII build of DOOM!

    I just recently got my bottom end back from the machine shop. I will be putting it together slowly, and updating slower most likely lol. I had it machined at a local shop, if I were to do it again, I would drive over to Illnois and have SP take care of it. I had the following work done. bore...

    emericaskater285's MKIII build of DOOM!

    Time for a small update. I have changed my mind and decided to go back to a manual. So I picked up a build r154 with everything in it, and it came with a steel one piece drive shaft, along with a few other parts. I got a killer deal on it. I also bought another act 6 puck disc, and a pressure...

    Violated my own eBay rule...

    I actually buy a lot of things from ebay. mostly pieces that are not movable like intercooler pipes and exhaust, or things that I already know what they are like brand name cams that are new or like products. I have had pretty damn good luck overall.

    V6 camry throttle cable not long enough for FFIM, suggestions?

    I used the lokar cable. much nice imo than using a different premade cable. also you can make the lokar the perfect length. I really love the way mine turned out.

    boost drop - 57 trim ct26

    I think he meant spring, but yes this is correct. You would need to have the internal wastegate welded shut, and add an external wastegate to the stock manifold and get a decent wastegate to run with it (say tial 38mm) it will flow exhaust gasses past the turbo easier so you dont have a spike...

    boost drop - 57 trim ct26

    When I was on a ct26 57 trim, depending on what i had boost set at it would peak out and then drop down at higher rpm's. its too much for the tiny wastegate, and if you have a shitty boost controller it could contribute to it some too. I had an ebay mbc on and it would peak out much worse, then...

    emericaskater285's MKIII build of DOOM!

    I bought a universal lokar cable. i think it was 36", i can double check if you are really interested. I cut it to length, and am really happy with how it turned out. Should be pretty nice snappy throttle response, and the cable travel is perfect

    AEM series 2 on 7mgte Honda unit 30-6050 working!

    Do you not have a wastegate on the manifold or something? I have never seen a turbo that doesn't spin (not spool) at idle.

    where can i buy stainless steel hardline for a turbo feed??

    I would leave it. I have ran stainless line on my last two turbos and havent had a problem. I think you should be fine. I have always used the premade precrimped lines for my oil feed. I have never had a problem with them. I only know one person locally that has ran an oil feed line that he had...

    emericaskater285's MKIII build of DOOM!

    It is actually a long runner. At least from what I understand a long runner manifold is the actual individual runners. As in the pieces that run into the head. It is basically the same runner length as stock, and would be considered a long runner. A short runner would be like this manifold...
