Got the car back last night, she needs a wash as its been about a year sense she's been cleaned. I'll try and get some shots up tonight

http://se.uploads.im/t/IpfXN.jpg here is the car without the grill installed, think its missing or its in my garage.. also the driver head light is not fully installed so its drooping. :( http://se.uploads.im/t/KCUdw.jpg Here's a shot of the down pipe and waste gate. both are v-band at both sides. ...

The intercooler I have no idea what brand it is, it was a gift from a friend that was getting deported back to Mexico and I never to the chance to thank him or get the brand name. All I know is be paid like 5 to 6 hundered for it and that it's for a Mitsubishi. The hood yes it's a Dave carter, got i...

I should be stopping by the shop today and should be able to snap a few more shots. Up pipe and down pipe are custom made, same with the inter cooler pipes.

hey everyone, its taken a while but shes almost there.

the turbo kit is almost finished but here's a shot of it as of right now.

hmmm, interesting. this center diff locker assembly, what makes it better then the original center diff that was in the3.90?


I thought most (not all) of the 3.90, 4.11, and 4.44 had locked center diffs at 50/50 power front to rear?

ooo those teeth are nice and shinny. :) Im really interested to see how my car will act with the 3.90 final, I've always ran a 4.11. really loved the 4.11 for helping the motor with the mechanical leverage. my buddys mkiv supra had a hard time catching me till I was high up in fourth. supra had 450w...

yah motors can be expensive to keep fixing, same with the transmission. So far I've been lucky not to destroy a motor.
but ill be really lucky if my tranny lasts after the first pull.

Nope, not at all haha. I'm on my third transmission but last 5spd I'll use..

A front mount requres alot of work and should only be done if your shooting for some good high numbers or are just dedicated enough to build one your self. the kits online for the 2.5 RS might fit "ok" but if you really want it to look good and not have 900 couplers, take the time to make ...

Here is the thread on the bad gt3576 turbo I received if anyone Is interested in why I changed my mind. http://www.supraforums.com/forum/showthread.php?770738-Turbo-purchase-NOT-AS-DISCRIBED-Fidel-Cashflo I stopped by ETS yesterday and pulled the trigger on the parts. I also contacted John Reed at P...

Josh,

My comment was kinda vauge. The turbo I received is just not useable unlessi want
To rebuild it. The GT3576 is a great turbo, I was just saying mine is crap. Haha

I received my quote back for the parts totaling: $2,199.00

Oh lord when will it end!

Well I received the turbo and its a pile of dog s&*$. I'm going to go another route that will net the same type of power with faster spool. This turbo cost more then what I bought the car for.. As of right now I'm waiting for a reply from Boost Lab to see if they can help me get what I need FP H...

Garrett turbo's are actually quite simple to understand compared to other types of turbo company's. but if turbo's are new to anyone it can seem like a mess of numbers. Yes sir I do have a build thread: http://bbs.legacycentral.org/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=35651 My progress with my car has slowed si...

Well, I'm pretty disappointed in the turbo that came in the mail. The seller stated and I quote "Turbo has very little shaft play". To my dismay he was full of s***. It needs a rebuild. It was also damaged during transit, the comp housing inlet has a spot that's bent. But any who I looked ...

Let's hope the damn mice didn't get your your car man. I know there was a spert time when those damn things where messing with the fifth wheel.

Looking forward to seeing you this up coming week man.

my 97 Outback has this same issue. So far I have not had an issue with it. the head gaskets are new and same with the radiator but the cap is old. I figured it was happening because the heads on this motor are off the original motor that had over heating issues so I think the heads are warped. I hav...

If you motor is getting a source of air after the MAF sensor it will cause massive power issues along with the engine dying.


it almost sounds like you hitting boost cut... do you have a defender against it cutting out from higher boost levels?

Ya it's getting up there in turbo size. For a four banger it's a nice size. For power yes it will make a good amount. The heads I will be installing a set of cams Along with springs and retainers from GSC. The bottom end of my motor is already built and I'm running a stand alone engine management. M...

you got it Mike.



In order for anything to expand from the norm and hit new level's of achievement, there has to be that one person willing to think out side the box.


you know, why not?

Not a one huh?


alright, well my turbo is on its way. I'll post a picture when I receive it.
