    Pronounce Tein

    :umno: teh-een. tay-een. That is how it is supposed to be pronounced. Three characters: "te" "i" "n". I took two years of Nihongo. This does depend on it being a "japanese" word.

    Turbo seals?

    Yeah man, it sounds like the oil is getting past the turbine seals (hot side). The milky gunk could be from exhaust condensation mixing with the oil. That, plus fresh oil in the elbow indicate a relatively short run time the last time you ran it, otherwise the oil would have likely burned off...

    EGT pre-turbo vs. post-turbo -- a direct comparison

    Someone should really fix that "off-the-wall" smiley. :slap: Thanks for the detailed data logging. :bigthumb: This might be a good candidate for the archives. :evildeal:

    I/c sprayer using headlight washers

    Set the switch up somewhere on the throttle linkage (for WOT) and also have a manual switch for pre-misting. Eh? :boink:

    I/c sprayer using headlight washers

    I'd say plain old H2O would be just fine. A lot of liquids that evaporate faster than water are usually flammable and/or corrosive to aluminum. Water is great for increasing IC efficiency (EVO anyone?). Cheap, very simple, and effective. CO2 is great but is more costly and a little more...

    Movie Thread

    Just went through the thread. I am not a big OT poster but I wasn't suprised at almost all of the responses. I think I'll put up a list of movies I like off the top of my head. :drink1: Fight Club 1984 Steal This Movie Ghandi Eyes Wide Shut the Fifth Element the Big Labowski Dr...

    Another night at the track

    What are your mods, there's no need to warm up street tires, and don't live your life for your friends?

    how can you tell the difference...

    The only thing you might be able to visually distinguish would be the longer duration (a little more lift too, iirc). It would have to be a side by side visual flavor test though. Turbo cam sitting next to the NA cam type of deal. The turbo cam would look slightly 'sharper' than the NA cam...

    what's the difference?

    ISC and IAC are the same thing. I would have left the honeycomb in. It's supposed to smooth the airflow for accurate sampling. Let us know how your car runs without it.

    SM GT4 Challenge!

    :wtf: That's retarded. That totally negates the point of having a competition.

    Car won't crank but backfires

    You could set #1 to TDC, line up the marks on the CPS, and forget to ensure that #1 is on the compression stroke.

    cylinder head porting theories... and such

    Thanks IJ. :bigthumb: Would any of you be so kind as to highlight the areas (on IJs cut-away pics) that could benefit from some work? I've read tons of conversations about what people have done but I can't visualize it too well. Either photochop or physically marking the casting?
