    Tein vs Tein vs Wallet

    Concerns with lexus v8 mod and 550cc injectors

    Concerns with lexus v8 mod and 550cc injectors

    Sounds about normal. Not unless you want to completely rebuild that motor after it grenades. Have them cleaned and flow tested. I use RC Engineering for this. They will clean, balance and calibrate them and will have them turned around in 24 hours with a complete report of how they are...

    Double Barrelled Handgun

    Yea, that would make it a machine gun. ANY modification to a firearm that causes it to fire more than one round with a single trigger press defines it as an automatic weapon.

    10mm or .40

    Check Engine Light On before car is turned on

    If your check engine light is on with the key off, you've got a short circuit. There shouldn't be any power to that circuit with the key off.

    1.5jz vs 2jz spool time

    Simplicity in wiring really. If you've got an MA70 chassis, a 2J shortblock and a 1JZ frontcut, you've got everything you need to just bolt it all together. If you run a 2J head you've got to retrofit the 2JZ electronics into a car that was never intended to have them.
