    Throwing on a Driftmotion CT2657trim - Headgasket First??

    90 lb/ft is required to get the bolt into its elastic region at its strongest point. They are anticipating you not using that head gasket with studs. Do you know what argument by repetition is? Ignore it in the Supra community.

    Nice rig. Magpul original equipment (MOE) should keep your weight down. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mBNGgu0qGlQ

    FCON and GCC + A/F tuning for newb

    I went 105.56 with the A340e and my Boss Jr which has a smaller turbine and A/R. If you use the actual formula and a calculator you will find it a little higher. Mine is 366. Your numbers seem right on to me.

    It isn't called "perma-torque" for nothing....Federal Mogul makes manufacturer sealing parts for big name auto manufacturers and then put it in the "AC Delco" or "Motorcraft" package.

    Do you have red hair? Take note of the correction regarding the Toyota bolts as they are not torque to yield.

    Don't you love everybody's two cents? But then again, this is an internet forum. PT 9473 The composite part is the facing to get a good seal on imperfect parts.

    Lots of blue smoke/misfire/ turbo?

    More pictures, wide angle, high resolution. I want to see the broken valve spring when he was going 110. This of course is conjecture on my part.

    Why? Nothing wrong with doing it right the first time. Be sure you price that Fel Pro gasket.

    Of course they do. The problem occurs with detonation and more commonly over heating the engine. Then the deck warps slightly and then a "waterfall" is heard behind the dash. Not to say the 58 lb/ft is ok. But the head bolts are certainly good. I would also take the Fel-Pro Permatorque over...

    Since he has not posted since his opening post in February I will point out that it is more likely he is shifting from first to O/D, as that would happen with a solenoid number 2 malfunction. If number one malfunctioned, it would sit in direct with an upshift to O/D.

    High T.P.S voltage

    Maybe the STA signal is some how shorted to 12V when the key is on because of the ignition switch and that is what he is observing? Or both?

    Strange as it may seem, nobody has challenged the illegal statutory laws including the ones violating the second amendment. Until now. I am still surprised at the Heller decision. I am surprised because they got it right. And now the other grossly illegal ones like the NFA and the amendment in...

    Good, because it won't. And that is with the bolt on upgraded Sport Turbo. They dyno shows good power, but 430 good.

    Unplug the transmission control and see if it still shifts from 1 to 3. Does it shift into O/D?
