    FS: Storage filled w/ furniture, VR4 parts, pocket bikes,etc...

    I really need to sell these things because i have no where else to put them. $250 a month for storage is something I cant do at my current state. Majority of the items will have to be pick up only. The Sema show is going on this week... so if you know anyone driving in, that might be an option...

    Is injector installed correctly?

    I tend to over analize things and this is one of them...As MOD approaches, I'm constantly going over the car to make sure it wont leave me and my son stranded on the side of the road. Can someone tell me if the injector gap normal? Should there evEn be a gap. My car was tuned last year by a...

    thecman02

    Chris went out of his way to make the transaction happen. Instead of me driving 150 miles to pick up the rims, he met me halfway and didn't ask for anything extra. Nothing was sugar coated, rims were as described and I am very happy with them. I wouldn't hesitate to do business with him again...

    HKS or Tial wastegate on ERL manifold?

    I recently purchase a ERL T3 exhaust manifold and I'm now undecided on what wastegate to use. I'm currenly on a DDP made T3 tubular manifold/HKS standard wastegate(old school) and boost is controlled via Profec B specII. I`m thinking of switching to either the old 38mm Tial or the new 38mm Tial...

    FS: Feeler-HKS wategate w/ T3 tubular manifold

    All the parts are still on the car until I decide whether to keep the wastegate or buy a new one. The manifold was on the car when I bought it from Doug Derby. I'm guessing he made it... I had it rewelded on a couple of the runners since it was not welded all the way around. The wastegate works...

    Sealing oil galley plug-solved

    I've researched all over the net and haven't found the best way to seal the plug. Anyone here ever had it leak and what type of sealant did you use? My buddy convinced me to buy the Permatex Ultra Black since that's what he uses at Nissan to seal plugs. I just want to make sure because I really...

    WTB: T3 manifold

    Looking for a T3 manifold, preferable a cast. Not interested in a Treadstone or Turbonetics. ERL or DNP would fit the bill. Let me know what you have and the price you want for it.

    Timing at high base idle

    I've searched everywhere and can't seem to find a definite answer...My tuner set my idle at 1000rpm and i am seeing 12-13 degrees timing via Ecmlink. Should the timing be set at 5BTDC regardless if its at 800rpm or not? I've been having stalling issues coming to a stoplight ever since the...

    Cometic HP retorque?

    Has anyone ever ran one of these gasket and retorqued them after xxx miles? Reason is, that I started to notice a slight oil leak coming from the front passenger side corner. Never did retorque the head down after my build becuase Cometic says that it's not neccessary. But after talking to a...

    OFH filtered port (wtf!!!)

    Is the port where the dummy light in the OFH filtered? The previous owner installed the oil feed line to the turbo from that port and I've been running it that way for 6k miles. Never had any problems,no shaft play(side/side or in/out) on the turbo wheel even after my rebuild. I was going to run...

    Thread sealers

    I've looked all over the forum and could not find what sealer to use for my oil pressure sender. It leaked a couple of years back and I got it to stop, but now it decided to mess with me again.

    Vent circulation switch

    I was wondering if any members here has had any problems with their vent circulation switch. I've noticed that once in a while my switch would move by itself especially when I'm going fast, like on a freeway. It will stay where I want it to when I'm cruising on low speed, but will change on me...

    2g mas with separate Ait

    Anyone ever run a 2gmas and hook up a ait sensor post intercooler(near throttlebody)? I figured that it would get a more accurate temp reading after the ic rather than the heat soak air coming in from the filter.

    Leaky turbo

    I was doing a boost leaks test and found some air leaking from my turbo. Anybody have the same problem and found a solution for it? It didn't have a gasket around it so I'm leaning towards putting some sort of sealant. The problem is that I know it gets super hot and it might melt. I was...

    Does anyone know what size bolts go into the holes circled red? I forgot all about them and I already installed the runner and spacer. I tried m8x1.25 which was too big and m6 was too small.

    Lifters

    I just purchased some brand new ITM lifters from fleabay. Are they suppose to be hard to push in before bleeding them?

    Intake manifold gasket

    Just curious which ones you guys use. The OEM price is not bad but I would need 2 for my FRH. I've seen some cheaper price ones(Beck/Arnley, Felpro) that go for $7-$9. Not sure what the difference are, but if they seal the same, I'll be going with the cheaper priced ones.

    Polishing intake manifolds

    I just got finished polishing the plenum of my FRH. Now, I`m hesitant on doing the runners because of how all the areas I can't get to. What type of sander are you guys using for those hard to reach areas? Here`s a pic of the plenum. Not the best looking, but it'll do.
