    Spammers shut down our email

    It was bad for a little while, but now they are spamming it so much it exceeded our quota (which is very large) and I have not been able to receive email for a few days. We are trying to get this fixed asap, but if you did not get a reply that is the reason. I can still receive PM's on SM or...

    AEM true boost guage

    You would use one or the other, but not both. I had trouble getting the maft pro boost control to work correctly on my car and a customers car, but maybe that was the early software versions. If you can get it to work it has a lot of cool features you could only have with an integrated system...

    Quote i got from machinist

    The ARP main studs have a higher torque rating then stock, which is why the line hone is recommended, not because they fit tight in the caps. :icon_wink You could get away without it on the mains, but not for rods. :thumbup:

    Home Owners - Any Advice?

    I wish condos were in the 200k range here! It's more like $300K+ One thing to remember about condos though, is that you only own the space inside the walls, not the condo itself. You will build equity faster with a home and you will take less of a hit if the market goes bad. If I want to...

    1jz = Torque Monster!

    Ahhhhhhh, so it's the turbo setup, not the engine. Thanks for making my point. :biglaugh:

    Quote i got from machinist

    That's funny, so the shop you go to bases their prices off of how much of a sucker you look like when you walk in? Ours has a price sheet, you either want the work done or you don't. If you do want it done the prices are right there in black and white. Plus they are honest and will not recommend...

    Ok, but your special shop rates because of your certification and because you know people at the shop does not apply to those are not mechanics or machinists by trade.

    Quote i got from machinist

    If the shop actually has the right equipment to surface the deck with the RA required, they will not charge less then $75. I know I place I can get a head surfaced for $25, and it looks like crap because it's done on a big belt sander. I pay $100 to surface a deck and $100 to surface a head...

    Not bad prices, and he recommended everything I would do, except I would bore the cylinders for new oversized pistons. I really don't know why people want to cheap out on machine work.

    1jz = Torque Monster!

    Looks like the 7m in your sig is making substantially less tq then hp :biglaugh: Not that those numbers are bad, but in this thread it's kind of ironic to see that.

    1jz = Torque Monster!

    Of course a fully modded 7m will outperform a 1jz, that is not in question. The stock 1jz is a great engine, period. There is no questioning that. Is it the best engine for you? That is obviously up to you. The point is that if you can't appreciate the performance of the 1jz in some way...

    1jz = Torque Monster!

    See, at least Jeff has driven one before he comments on it. There are so many 7m owners who talk all sorts of shit about the 1jz who have never even driven one. After they have driven one they change their story, unless they are a liar. I'm sorry but it just pisses me off. I was just...

    1jz = Torque Monster!

    Gutless...LOL Have you driven one Nick? How many of those 7m's were at the drags in Vegas? Dave's 1jz was running 14.0 sec, it is totally stock, and it was the fastest mk3 there. Bring your bpu 7m over to my place and we'll see how it does against my wife's stock 1jz with an auto trans.

    5m crank in a 7m, or just go 5m?

    Sure, let me know! They will be put to good use! So just to be sure these will be the same dimensions as 5m rods, yes?

    5m crank in a 7m, or just go 5m?

    I called them, they are only made special order, and retail would be probably close to $2000 for a set! Like I mentioned before there are V8 rods selling around $250-$500 a set so I would not want to spend $1500+ for I6 rods.

    Bigaaron's "5M crank in a 7M" build thread!

    I will be running the same turbo I have now, Garrett gt4082 with the Precision exhaust housing.

    air flow meter

    Yes, with a MAFT you can use a GM 3" or 3.5" MAF, or MAFT Pro you can use either the GM MAF go speed density with a map sensor and air temp sensor.
