15 @ 4k? ouch :/ I was planning on getting a .96A/R divided T4 hotside from BEP along with a Sound Performance QSV and headwork. That should really cut back on spool time.

Hey Marco, when does that HX40 spool? I have an 8 blade HX40W chilling waiting for me to figure out how I want to set it up on my 7m haha

...when people ask you what your interests are and you have to say "my car" for fear of going on a 20+ minute spiel about what it is and what's done to it...

shit I'd love to go to a meet in Indy haha

lol Chuck. It is bro...

brand new Toyota CT26? I call bullshit, that'd cost well over $300 bucks. Maybe a rebuilt turbo for $300, but not brand new... TSRM from whenever it was posted listed a NEW turbo at just under $2900. Nowadays prices and availability would probably put it over 3500...

looks like a Greddy twin manifold and downpipes...

Alec, with headwork, tuning, and a QSV, it should spool similar to what it does on a 2j. the 2j head flows better than the 7m head, but with port and polish + bigger valves, the 7m can flow close to that of a stock 2j

in some back alley hooker's pants... LOL

alcohol is for AFTER you're done with said job or done for the day. Don't drink and rebuild an engine, it's one of those things that requires precision and let's face it... alcohol kind of slurs things together...

bad bhg with a chunk of gasket missing letting water seep into the combustion chamber, especially so during cranking (water pump moving water through and forcing some into the chamber) can do what you described. I wouldn't jump to worst case scenario (cracked head/block) first. Either way you're...

I just did an oil change on mine and this drain plug had a little rubber o-ring on it. I used a little bit of FIPG on the flat flange of the bolt and tightened it in and am getting no drips :)

it's quick and easy to do. best case scenario is that there's nothing wrong. worst case is that you've popped the headgasket through from the combustion chamber to the coolant passage. in this case, drain the coolant from the radiator and block, may as well drain the oil as well, clean the...

time to do a block leak tester and check for combustion gasses in your cooling system

they run ceramic turbine wheels because they're light and cause less lag. the problem with that is when you have a free-breathing engine (intake/full exhaust) the turbine spins too fast causing the wheels to shatter. if you want to keep the stock twins, have the turbos rebuilt with steel wheels...

if you get a FFIM you need to get an intercooler that has I/O on opposite ends of the core...

It won't happen for me, sorry Jon :/ I have work and my car would never make it on a tank of gas, I'd blow through 3-4 tanks by the time I got to Indy lmao I have a boost leak somewhere and 4.30 gears out back, not to mention a shitty fitting downpipe that scrapes everywhere hah

twin plate? ouch, expensive. needed though and heater core replacement? now I know why you didn't wanna do anything to the car! LOL

how many Blo-No area Supras are there? I have family down in Bloomington that I visit every so often and have NEVER seen a Supra down there lol
