Before any of you get bent out of shape, this is the inventor of the DDP. He did the R&D. He did the tests.
Every single DDP out there is a copy of his hard work.
If you disagree with his statements, back it up with fact. Produce your own testing and disprove it, otherwise you are, for...
Along those lines, if you're looking to avoid spending a fortune on the belt (i.e. Greddy Kevlar) you can get a really good nitrile belt from Napa for $27.99:

I've used these in daily drivers and...

Jeff is dead on here. This is not about shitting on the M series motors. For the time they were produced, they were amazing examples of the technology of the day.
In 1982, the Commodore 64 was also an amazing example of the technology of the day. Just as I wouldn't suggest using a C64 as the...
Just imagine what the performance numbers would look like for the GTM with a 6.0 liter motor that's fully worked... Car might be damned near undrivable.
There are vacuum/boost lines all over the firewall. What you're describing is more than a "minor" boost leak. It's got to be a fairly large line, or the manifold itself is leaking.
Realistic budget for the car is $40 - 60K, so you're dead on. I know a few people that have built them.
I think the car looks like sex, but you're entitled to your opinion... Even if it is wrong. :biglaugh:
Also these cars have A/C, power windows, radios, etc... They aren't the average...
My team was the TX2K5 champion in the unlimited street class. The red arrow points at me:

The 8 second Supra club is pretty exclusive, there are only a handful of us who ever built them that fast...
I'm up in Woodstock and I've got a 1990 Gunmetal turbo I'll be parting out. I can probably help fill in any missing parts you need and since we're only 10-15 miles apart no shipping fees. I'll PM you when I get the part out thread ready to post.
The entire point of the Lexus SC400 mod is that it increases airflow by 25%. If you add 550 cc injectors, you will notice that they are 25% larger than the stock 440's. By using the two together, you get "close" to stock AF ratios. Then you use the wideband and the tuning tool of your choice...
