any bigger and you'll have to mount it on your front bumper...

If I'm boosting, Im doing about 80 MPH minimum going into 4th... 5th is somwhere around 100-120 mph... Having said that, I still boost in 5th, but its mostly just for going up hills or increasing my speed a little bit, not WOT...

Turbo is in a box in my hatch right now. All packed and ready to ship. The only flaw I can see on the turbo is a crack in the exhaust housing. Everything else looks fine. Probably take a week or 2 for the box to reach Aaron

Well.. I will be sticking with the 60-1 CT26 turbo... Its now running fine.

Just looking at that GTE hurts... that block has issues.. lol. I wouldn't touch it. Not sure how much the machining would be, but Im thinking of what would be sitting inside the water jackets/oil journals and how thinned those cylinder walls would be now. That looks like it was a boat anchor at...

Well worth it... The dabbing on paper isn't the most accurate

Pi... is that dipstick still available? (noted that the post was old...)

You've got an "an" SS line coming out of the top of the thermostat housing... where does that go? I thought there was a sensor/vacuum thingy that went to the charcoal canister normally...

hmm... Frt rims - 18x8 +35, 225/40zr18 Rear rims - 18x9 +35, 255/35r18 Stock MK3's are 16x7 +37... I think the tires are 225/50r16... so... if I do the math right... aren't my rears slightly bigger? oh.. wait.. your right.. my speedo is 5 kph lower than what I am doing... (I had it backwards...

No issues on my car for that, its just that when I noticed how low the pressure was at idle, it concerned me a bit as I hadn't noticed it before. (never really paid much attention to the gauge at idle really...) The dipstick is hugely bad though. I find that I get variable readings that I...

Correctly functioning is the key word.

I did, by accident... And don't regret it... But I still have to say... "No, it's not a 2j" to all the people who ask.

Im lucky if I can squeeze off 10 tanks a year in my car.. lol.. so gas consumption doesn't concern me. I can see how people can "logically" think that the EGR would overheat cylinder 6 because thats where the EGR port is. Dont know if thats real or not...

Good.. I was worried because I never noticed it going to 0.5 before... Amazing the things you notice when your scared.

New engine build, (almost everything new including a 5mm shimmed oil pump) and I am paying attention to my gauges for once... lol. Now.. on a 7MGTE in my 1988 Supra, I beleive the proper Toyota readings are as follows: 4.3psi (0.3kg) @ idle 36-71psi (2.5-5.0kg) @ 3000 rpm So, watching my...

^^Agreed, however, I would have kept mine if it was monitored. Because it is unmonitored.. (and obsolete OEM-wise) I left it off.

just dont spin the impeller while its dry.. lol.

Okay, that makes a lot of sense. Generally speaking though, the EGR system does not inject the exhaust gases at WOT, so the place where the variance would occur (on the ECU map) would be when running partial throttle as it expects that there would be less fuel/air than what there actually is...

Yep, 57 trim is off and it has a crack in the exhaust housing, but can't visually tell if it was leaking internally. Also, the plate on the compressor side that is held on by a "C" ring was leaking oil as well. (externally) Basically, I just have bad luck with DM.. lol. Popped the 60-1 CT26 I...

thats right.. some call it a pressed seal.. but I wasn't sure how to describe it : )
