    Will I have an oil pressure problem?

    All you have to do is call DM ;) Or, take the relief valve bolt out and measure it yourself. Based on the info you provided, there's no way to determine if there will be a problem or not. Probably not, but you'll have to find out the shim thickness on the DM pump relief valve.

    bmk22 bypass fillter and oil cooler install on 1jz

    JJ - He's talking about a 1JZ motor. I'm not very familiar with that engine myself, but there has to be a way to eliminate the stock oil/water cooler and route to a oil/air conventional cooler. I would just lengthen and route to hoses to a front mounted cooler.

    I've acquired the ability do plate nickel-boron nitrite myself. It involves heating a chemical bath to 180 deg F and keeping the boron particles stirred with a pump - it plates on at 0.0002" per 20 min. It only plates to steel and the surface has to be squeaky clean - I use a fine glass bead...

    Here's a Ruger MkII that I built for my son's Christmas present: I acquired a beat up frame, Cerakoted it in the same Tungsten Grey and tuned the trigger to a crisp 4 lb pull. The upper is a Tactical Solutions Pac-Lite w/ threaded muzzle, hard anodized black from the factory. The bolt, sear...

    My Glock 20 slide Cerakoted in Tungsten Grey - barrel/extractor is Black. The PT99 slide above is Sniper Grey - I think it looks good in that color ;) Kinda needed it (below) - it's a 20 yr old weapon (one of the 1st Glock 20's to come out) - got it about a month before I was deployed to...

    Dies once hot, will not restart until cold

    Check for a valid IGf signal from the igniter to the ECU. Do the same for G1, G2, and NE from the CPS.

    European Charcoal Canister mod

    Using a JDM cannister is the best way to go IMO - just hide it under the fender well as previously mentioned. I you insist on removing it, use a 2 psi check valve near the tank and vent to the atmosphere under the car away from the exhaust. You do not want to route to the TB or intake with no...

    Auto Tranny cooler Questions

    Exit temps can easily reach 190-200 deg F - it's going to depend on radiator thermal capacity and OAT. On a stock rad, there's no question - with a dual core, the increased capacity can drop coolant exit temps to 160 degs at peak efficiency. Then the question becomes, do you want to add...

    The (old) Official Gun Thread.

    ^^^ That is an excellent thread and illustrates exactly what I was saying. One other thing to point out: The back-up sights are a bit more difficult to make work. All the gas block type folding front sights are made for an AR-15 and are not tall enough for any of the AR .308 guns - one...

    Mario - the big thing to watch out for when you go to .308 in a AR platform is compatibility. For what I've seen, there are 4 different patterns used with Armalite and DPMS as the most common (FYI Noveske and Aeroprecision are the Armalite pattern). All the patterns are different and will not...

    FYI - The Aimpoint Comp C3 is identical to the ML3 except for the under water depth spec. SWFA Has a pretty good deal here: http://swfa.com/Aimpoint-CompC3-Red-Dot-Sights-C8.aspx Has all the accessories the ML3 comes with.

    Bravo Company does not supply bolt carrier groups to the military, FN has the current contract....full weapons and replacement parts. There is no such thing as overkill when it comes to the bolt/carrier...rifle or carbine. All of my bolt carriers, bolts, and hammers are nickel boron plated - I...
