    Hypothetical Question/discussion

    Ok- What whould the effects, if any, on your car if you could cool you're intake charge air temp to say, 0 degrees F? Would you make massive power, would you throw a piston through your hood? Would it do anything harmful, or would it be awesome? Just curious, since my buddy raised the...

    stupid question: I have been struggling to time my car for 2 days now, and had to walk away due to excessive frustration and "get big hammer" type thoughts. So I am starting from scratch, because I obviously f*cked up somewhere. My question is this: How do you ensure that the engine is...

    Manual Boost Controller relocation

    Just like it says: Can I extend the lines that plumb into the mbc and put the mbc into the cabin, so I don't have to get out and pop the hood to adjust it and all that? I don't recall ever hearing anything on this subject, and a search turned up no useful info.

    Question about to4

    So I've got this AiReasearch To4 (no "B" or "E" stamp) with 60 A/R stamped in the housing sitting in my garage. I am told after inspection that this is a turbo in good shape. (Minimal shaft play) However, I know next to nothing about it. So how good is it? As in: good enough for 400 rwhp...

    Boom!

    My car backfires under deceleration. I cannot figure out why. First: No codes, had a code 52, which has been cleared. The car smells like it runs rich, so I put a multi meter on vf and e1, at idle, it shows 0.17? I had heard that you want to see 2.5v or somewhere around there. I just...

    Hey everyone. Got my supra started yesterday, but I had a dead cylinder. No compression. Figured out that #2 intake valved were too tight, as well as one of #2 exhaust valves. That'll do it. so I checked the rest, and discovered that some were too loose. I thought I may have mixed up some...
