    Installed DM "new" 7MGTE Intercooler.. question about boost...

    Cant see the coolant tank very well.. can you get a better shot of that? Was that an aftermarket one or did you fab your own? Nice install by the looks of it. I have my coolant tank hidden which works, but I wouldn't mind having it easier to access.

    DDP vs Elbow + DP vs DP w/ Elbow

    Seriously? I burn four cat less gas tanks a year and its going to hurt someone? I'm not a city... I'm one car. One very rarely driven car... You should holler at the 64-65-66 crowd... Wonder how many of them have cats. Why not discuss the toxic effect making millions of catalytic converters...

    DDP vs Elbow + DP vs DP w/ Elbow

    Stock exhaust my car sounded like a vacuum cleaner... No rumble... Very quiet... But the engine sounded... Well... Like a vacuum cleaner. Add the DDP I have and a 3" HKS catback twin tipped muffler, and now I have a quiet car but with that deep growl. No fartcan sound. It's a bit loud at WOT...

    DDP vs Elbow + DP vs DP w/ Elbow

    Seriously don't think there's much of a difference at all. The only difference would be in flow. There is turbulence built up if the waste gate dumps into a "wall" like it does on the stock set up, but its nothing to be overly concerned with in my opinion. I am just removing my raptor racing...

    R Question... Do U.S. folk consider an hour drive long? I have heard comments that make me wonder.. I consider 4hr+ long... Anything else is a short cruise

    Couple notes about the Supra ads... Mkii never had Abs... Very noticeable? Wonder if Toyota shouldn't do a history as with a BPU mkiii and a 7m mkii... Love the car.., haven't rowed my mkiii like he had to in a long time. :D

    lol, I have no interior in my Supra currently (other than front seats, dash and console... ) and its a totally different drive then when it has all the interior assembled. Feels like a race car... cant wait to get the interior back in it... (especially the subs) and yeah.. Im an old fart, but...

    Bogwon's 87 7M GTE project

    14.3-15.3 is the running range on mine.. if I go WOT, it goes down to about 11.2 (used to be 10.0 or lower, but was so rich it would wash the oil off the cylinder walls, so I cut back fuel pressure). 17-18 FPR in WOT is how you melt pistons...

    Ate it a long time ago with ketchup on bread. I bought it once to annoy the wife.

    High Compression in 1 cylinder others fine also smoke issue

    You really need to figure out what your dealing with. I doubt your running a Lexus AFM without 550 cc injectors. It would run like crap. It sounds like you have a BPU 7MGTE already but sounding like a "home build". In that case, you really have to figure out what parts you have on the engine so...

    cometic HG fitment ?

    I remember looking at my beautiful shortblock and then seeing the cometic headgasket sitting on it. My only thought was the same.., poor design? Not sure if Toyota had a reason because the intake and exhaust sides are mirrored on the HG but the ports aren't the same. My only conclusion was to...

    Build up 7MGTE or go 1JZ?

    Yep, but who wouldn't want a stroker 2jz... Get the torque AND the HP... Plus... A 9000 redline... Mmmmm

    cometic HG fitment ?

    Yeah very odd why they don't do the intake side to match the coolant port. It would strengthen it... Maybe to even out the head pressure when torqued? Yours looks like mine did when I put the cometic on it.
