With a stock engine there would be no reason to remove the dampener. With increased fuel pressure and flow, the dampener doesn't really do much. I believe the origional purpose was to quiet the fuel system and lengthen the life of the fuel pump. When you start modifing an engine to make a lot of...
Using two crappy stock intercoolers is all about being cheap. This was pioneered back in the days when your only choice for an intercooler was $600 or more. That setup has twice as many fittings that could leak, and twice as much space wasted. If you put one behind the other, the heat disipated...
It will improve fuel flow for people making increased horsepower using a Walbro or MK4 fuel pump at higher fuel pressures then stock. The teflon lined ss hose will last for many years.
Replaces all this! Eliminates 3 banjo fittings, and goes straight from the fuel hardline under...
I wouldn't rely on knock sensors to tell you when it's knocking. I also wouldn't run 12 deg of timing at 5k rpm just so you can run more boost. If you have to run 12 deg and 11:1 afr you don't have enough octane, period. Are you guys doing all your tuning on the street? You must be tuning on the...
Stock 1jz engines have stock Toyota pistons, not magic pistons that can take unlimited cylinder temps without damage. Melted pistons are caused by a tuning problem or bad injectors. Another thing is that rich does not equal conservative. Conservative equals turning down the boost. Overly rich...
I bet a most of the 1300+ ft/lb claims with 400hp are people saying "it's probably making xxxx torque" Kinda like fish stories, a lot of truckers do like fishin'. :biglaugh:
I think the metal fitting you are referring to is the heat sheld. Since the mk4 mounts are completely shrouded in steel, you don't really need that piece anymore. Just cut off the aluminum nipple and bolt it all up.
I wouldn't consider it an inherant problem with the engine as much as a problem with people trying to run too much boost on pump gas. If you run any engine too lean or too rich it's not going to be good for the rings. Jose beat the crap out of his for 275k miles, and it was purfect up until the...
If the rpm isn't being read correctly the torque can show huge spikes. That doesn't mean the actual torque output was the same as one big split second peak on the chart. With 395hp I don't see it making over 1k ft/lbs.
