I wouldn't control the WG with manifold pressure. It's too far downstream (big boost spikes) and the actuator will see vacuum, which may or may not damage it. I don't think they are designed for it though. If you can't get a port onto the comp housing I'd try to keep it as close to the...

No Chop. This was on the way to work in the Supe not too long ago...still pumped premium into her though. :offwall:

Just thought I'd bump it. If you object, please PM me.

Unless Randy holds a patent on his designs the title of this thread is bunk. His designs and fabrication work are good stuff and I'd rather buy from Supra folk than any outsider but there isn't anything wrong with fair competition. I don't see this as a threat to BIC products. The funny thing...

It looks like you plumbed it between the the port on the turbo and the port on the WG actuator. That's correct. From there you could only mix up the ports on the solenoid (barring any wiring issues). I can't tell from your pics and the HPF doesn't have a pic. Are you having any boost control...

...or in surveillance, cargo, and tanker aircraft. I remember the maintainers being really hard workers too. Intel folks probably fit the stereotypical image the best. ;)

As a former AWACS aircrew member ('98-'02) and graduate of the SV80A (Survival/POW) course, I applaud these distinguished gentleman for their service, integrity, and dedication. I encourage everyone to read this letter and the biographical information of these honorable Americans...

A good sealing surface, new gaskets, and properly torqued bolts do the trick everytime. boost fiend, I feel your pain on the heater hose...coolant got into my clutch assembly but I thought the clutch was thrashed. Pulled the trans, clutch was fine, saw the back of the engine and did the...

Punk Rock!! Kick Ass! Nice vid! :bigthumb:

PACNW MKIIIs FTW! lol :bigthumb:

New info to me! Does that apply to plain old Super Red as well?

I thought it was supramania. And don't we just send a chat invite to ourselves to get into the room? It's been a while....

Boostedstr8six SF, SM, AIM, and even XBL (Halo2) :D

This is nothing but OT. Trash OT at that. Is the stench of SF wafting about? Please, don't ruin SM!!! :rant:

I think I understand the concern of the mech. It doesn't look/feel right to put a HG in that doesn't match the cyl. bore specs. The biggest area it impacts is the bore spacing, only with the HG in this case but it is a legitimate concern especially with someone used to Honda engines. With the...

The fluid (probably some kind of oil/wax mix) is very viscuos when cold and the fan runs at full speed. When the fluid reaches operating temp it becomes less viscuos (kind of 'melts') and the bi-met spring mechanism (governed by temp) controls the amount of rotational energy that is transferred...

How do those rank (cost/benefit) with standard stockers and forged pistons?

I agree. :icon_smil I was just adding that there are factory coated turbo pistons and depending on how common they are (I haven't really looked into that) might be a low cost option compared to forged slugs but offer more room for error than uncoated stockers.

There are also the ceramic top coated stock turbo pistons...if you can find them. My 7M cranked "JDM" came with a set. I'm sure they offer more thermal stability over stock uncoated but maybe not enough to hunt them down. :dunno: Just FYI.
