    how to make your turbo spool sooner/quicker

    I needed all the help I could get, as my understanding of the engine's system is tiny at best. I relied upon the engine builder, one who builds performance and racing engines for the likes of Horsepower Freaks. Also, there is a small shop down the street called RSI, that was used to test the...

    how to make your turbo spool sooner/quicker

    Hi Anthony, I would be very careful when modifying the head and exhaust manifold, to improve flow, and by extension, turbo spool. When I had my 7M rebuilt, Bryan of M&B Cylinder Heads, was very careful not to remove the reversion dam on the exhaust ports of the head. Bryan only gasket matched...

    Rebuilding my head

    On my build, I told the engine builder what I was planning on using the engine for, Club road racing, with consistent RPM above 3000 RPMs. Bryan went ahead and ordered stock retainers, as the head was using the stock valve train. Bryan (owner of M&B Cylinder Heads) recommended that when I...

    Time for my 7M-GTE re-build/upgrade and I have questions :)

    Have you thought of upgrading to ceramic coated pistons? I have them in "race ready 7M" engine, and they help keep the heat in the cylinder. Wiseco has a set of these. I have access to a local shop that custom ceramic coats engine parts so I was able to go with a less expensive brand called...

    question about steering rack

    Hi Anthony, I decided to try using the stock rack, modified by removal of the PS pump w/a hydraulic flex hose looped on the pinion, valve body. I drove the car around w/o PS for about 6 months like that, before I had the rack and pinion assembly, disassembled and the rack pressure plate seal...

    Race Ready 7M

    That's helpful. Thanks for that... That matches what I'm seeing in both the TSRM and my 7M. Question is, would it make any difference if I have the temp sensor wire on the A/C aux fan sensor? Van

    Post Your Home Depot Lip Thread

    Thanks, sounds good. Have you tried it out at the track (PIR), to see how effective that air dam is at reducing air getting under the car? Has there been any noticable change with the handeling of your Supra at speed, post air dam install? Van

    Post Your Home Depot Lip Thread

    So, what are you using to support the back side of the lip, from deflecting under pressure? I saw numerous racers at the Chump Car Enduro this past October, using vynal flooring, base moulding, backed by everything from small dia tubing to nothing at all... Van
