It's not all that hard to learn, just takes practice. Get an auto darkening helmet and some welding gloves and go for it!

No, booger welds that look terrible, leak, and have to be cut off :biglaugh: For your first welding project don't weld something that you had to pay for. :icon_wink

Um, I would say don't do it. Take it to an exhaust shop and have them install it. Then go behind the exhaust shop and pull some scrap pieces out of the dumpster and practice until you have it down. It's going to take some time to make welds nice enough to put on your own car. :)

Fill in the blank, I know you can do it :)

Everyone with a turbo should have a wideband! It can be running lean with very high cylinder temps and still feel like it's running fine.

You could just wire a hidden switch inline with the afm output wire and do the same thing as disconnecting it, without wearing out the connector in the maft pro. :dunno:

I somehow got duped into marrying Roxane twice, the first ceremony at the courthouse was not expensive enough for her parents.

It will bolt on, but only 2 bolt holes will line up :biglaugh:

Rich condition from huge vacuum leak would be my guess. Check ALL the ic piping, and all the plastic ic pipes, and the coupler from the 3k pipe to the throttle body.

Hello and welcome!

Sounds like a ic pipe maybe popped off?

It takes as long as it takes, and it's done when.........well, it's never finished. :)

Yes, the cams open the valves Joe. :biglaugh: The more lift you have the more critical the cam timing becomes.

With that .272 lift it could be an issue, but I think it's also in the overlap, which the cam gears can correct. I know when we were making adjustments with my cam gears it made big changes in hp vs tq.

You can tap the hole in the back of the head and put a 3/8 npt pipe plug in it. For the intake manifold you can cut the flange off the egr valve and weld the little hole closed. Or I think SupraSport sells block off kit.

Here's some of my favorites, from SILV 04

You should see a ring on the outside edge of the tire where it is rubbing, and take the wheel off and look in the wheel well to see where it was rubbing. 285 is about a 10mm wider tire then I would have suggested. If you keep driving like that you may damage your nice tires. You can drive a back...

I'm glad I could help out, and it couldn't have been for a better guy. Jay and Vonda are so nice, and Vonda can really cook! Southern hospitality is the best. Everyone was very cool. Jay's two girls are so cute, and so well mannered. I hope Roxane and I can be as good of parents as Jay and Vonda...

It's the cams, I think cam gears with some adjustment will make that engine really come alive. The torque being that low isn't because of the engine or the turbo, it's all in the tuning and the cams.

We're back! There is a lot left in this setup, but before that happens it will need a 2jz map sensor or some other way to compensate for the 540cc injectors. We had to go down to 30psi on the afpr in order to get the a/f from pegging at 10:1 as soon as boost came on. Even with the fuel pressure...
