  1. With the wife down with food poisoning (Clam bake+party hard=Long Sunday) I had some free time this evening since we canceled dinner plans. Installed AEM WB, Autometer Boost gauge, Maximum Motorsports Mechanical oil pressure gauge, and a Shift light (no tach cluster). Semi-permanent, but it will work for now. Decided to chase a boost issue. It hits 14 on the spring, rolls to 30 soon after. Obviously a bypass issue, I figured it was a sticky WG valve, or a bad diaphragm. A little trouble shooting found the China Gate has a "set screw" that I assume is uses to raise boost-well it was buried all the way down ,l restricted the gate from opening more than an inch. Took it apart-reassembled- and took it for a rip to test it out. Holds 14psi well now. We should be Fuel pumps, and a Data port away from a base tune. I am VERY impressed with this turbo/manifold combo. Thing feels like a freaking 2.4 torque wise. Currently at 10.5to 10.8 to 1 WOT. But dyno says 350-380 whp as I drove it tonight. Car rips for untuned gate spring action!
  2. May have video of one- local had a Modded TT that was not nearly as fast as his financial investment. It ended life upside down in a tire pile at Nelsons.
  3. Is it me or does this thin sounds more like a R1 than a 2JZ? FUCK. Good work Don.
  4. I never buy new but thats tempting!!
  5. Weld in. Not totaled. On another note- you boy better get his neck checked and MILK DA FUCK out of it. That's an easy check for the insurance company. 99% chance that girl was texting when she wrecked LOL OMG :gabe: Also in for buyback if its totaled
  6. If anyone wants to opt out closer to the date, LMK. If its nice I may be willing to buy your spot.
  7. http://fox8.com/2012/10/05/family-overcoming-hardship-wins-mortgage/ Winner was well deserving! I was on the committee to pick a winner- I wish I was not as there were some terrible stories that were hard to read. Makes me happy just to be alive and healthy. We covered the rest of the year for 2nd and 3rd place as well. The Company voter for the winner out of the "top 3" (hard to call it that.)
  8. Took it for a 1/2 hour cruise last night, runs perfect-needs an alignment. Went to Forced Fags, no one was there! Got gas, roll down 480, tuned around and came home. Took Coldwater for a rip, he likes it for just 13psi.. Still needs a few hours of wiring to make it tune/race worthy.
  9. Where they will quadruple their investment. The motor and trans alone is 2K+ easy in that pig.
  10. Possible GT42 upgrade coming soon....:no:
  11. Had a few minutes to spare last night so I fabbed up a down-pipe, IC, and oil lines. She's ready for a test drive tomorrow.
  12. Called it. The fuck? You could have asked I GUARANTEE someone would have given you that or more for it!!
  13. Car has almost 100miles of 14b flogging. Motor is still together so I guess its party time! I did score a very good deal on a turbo set up. A special order only small tube Shearer V-Band manifold, with a BNIB V-band in/out 6262, with homemade DP. I am going to try and have this on the car tomorrow and go from there. Should make for a wicked street set up. http://i1003.photobucket.com/albums/af154/coltboostin/2012-10-02_09-28-31_369.jpg Small vs large tube http://i1003.photobucket.com/albums/af154/coltboostin/2012-10-02_09-25-42_683.jpg RonaWelds http://i1003.photobucket.com/albums/af154/coltboostin/2012-10-02_09-28-55_77.jpg
