In 5th gear, at 45mph I'm at 2k RPMs, at 65mph = 3k RPMs, at 75 = ~3500 4.30 is good for around town, but sucks for any sort of cruising speeds as you watch your gas needle become a reverse boost gauge :/

It's easier to pull the motor. Support the engine/raise as much as you can. drop the subframe several inches. you now have very little room to work. plastigaging the journals for clearances is always fun down there. I changed mine about 500 miles ago when I built little to no oil pressure and...

i plan on 17x8 17x10 stagger and ill get em no matter what i gotta do ;) lol by the way, now that you have wheels, you need a slight drop lol

looks like a Lexus AFM with the idle air screw removed...

they're still available, but they're the "hot" version. They're slightly different than the originals, but last I checked were still available.

just get a recirculated divorced downpipe, 3" metal core catalytic converter, and a HKS turbo exhaust (3" piping, dual tip like stock)

at least go with ARP rod bolts :)

this tool makes it a fricken breeze. the hardest part about changed the belt with this tool is getting the timing covers out of the way ;)

take the cat off and see if the smell goes away. usually a rotten egg or sour fuel smell is due to a failing cat. The reason it'd do it more under boost is because the computer dumps more fuel, and the boost pressure increases EGT's. The combination super heats the cat and makes it stink worse.

I daily drive with a open dump DDP, 3" test pipe & catback. It's not THAT annoying. Just gotta be gentle on the gas around cops lol

haha same shit here. I thought it was the turbo drain so I changed that gasket. Then thought oil filter o-ring so I cleaned the mating surface and changed gaskets, didn't work. Then figured it must be the plate. Changed gasket + used RTV on the gasket surfaces and it sealed it up nice and solid.

ah, I didn't know that

Shitty highway gas mileage. 65mph = ~3000rpms. The speedo will also read faster than you're going

Another way to twincharge would be using a centrifugal S/C kind of like the Procharger units. Have that feed into the intercooler, as well as the turbo, then have one larger pipe going to the throttle body. That way you're not pushing compressed air into a compressor and air can flow more...

I plan on getting the stage one kit as the car is still a daily driver. It's going into an 88 diff (3.91) that has a stronger spring than the later model diffs. I'm still contemplating having the discs shot peened to remove some of the coating so I can achieve a higher BAT. Not sure yet. I DID...

the part that "just slips" over the turbo inlet is where the coupler to the AFM is supposed to go...

Sweet so all of my leaks are fixed, I've got it running on the GTE harness with no knock code anymore thanks to a KS rewire kit that SupraofDoom had laying around. Now I need to fix an exhaust leak. Leaking where the DP meets the turbo, causing the O2 to read lean and dump fuel. That's why it...

Poor Celi-Supra :/

OS Giken still makes 1JZ multiplate clutches, and are supposed to be able to hold a lot of power. Contact em for price and torque rating though

I know a lot of the MK4 guys (with V160's) are running either Tilton, OS Giken, or RPS carbon-carbon. More-so the first and last
