    Beware! Conficker Virus

    John, Thanks for that. I found cornflicker on a DataTraveler 4 GB flashdrive, made by Kingston. It was fresh out of the package. I checked it due to your warning. All other drives checked at my site. So far no infection.

    I got these emblems from E-bay. They were plastic junk so I had some made from stainless that I will use. The photo is the stainless emblems.

    "Coil on plug" coils for 1UZFE

    John and Dave, I am kind of embassased to join in here due to how painfully long everything is taking me these days on my project but I am in the process of covering the valve cover valley and making a nice smooth mounting area for the Okada COP's I am using. Kind of what you planned John, with...

    Let's "Elect" the Next US President

    The percentages of this poll may not be correct but it seems that the outcome may be. Question: What is the difference between a carp (fish) and a politician? Answer: One is a bottom feeding scum sucker and the other is a fish.

    When is Enough Enough?

    With the topic being how much is enough, my answer is, for me, 500rwhp. My goal is not just a matter of slapping on whatever it takes to make a brutish amount of power. I set a goal for the power and have spent my time trying to come up with all the changes, modifications and parts to achieve...

    When is Enough Enough?

    Justen, In reading your postings for the past two years I have come to respect your knowledge and accomplishments. I am just trying to do a project that interests me. I may be way off base with what I end up with and driveability but I can (de)tune for that later. It may just be a case of me...

    When is Enough Enough?

    Not too interested in pub talk, 500 is just the goal for now. As I said, time will tell. Just like to see if I can do it.

    Let's "Elect" the Next US President

    I laughed when I heard Rudy "had gone from toast of the town to toast". How fast things change.

    Let's "Elect" the Next US President

    Interesting thus far with 13 votes. Looks like Giuliani's name will be coming off soon. Does that mean the votes for him will go to McCain?

    Porting intake manifold, larger tb vs. itb's

    I read all this with great interest. For me I have elected to make my own inlet plenum and intake runners for a twin turbo 1UZ. Relocating a single 83mm Nissan throttle body to the front of the air inlet coming directly from the IC outlet. Low compression pistons and larger injectors was correct...

    Porting intake manifold, larger tb vs. itb's

    This is a great thread for me as I am just getting ready to fabricate a plenum with a front mounted Nissan throttle body. It seems as though the plenum volume needs to be in the order of 40-50% of the engine displacement. Even with twin turbos is this correct? I believe it is.

    Porting intake manifold, larger tb vs. itb's

    John, Calculated peak torque from a program that only looks at number of cylinders, engine size and intake runner area. Kind of Mickey Mouse to be sure. I am currently trying to make an intake manifold. Going for front mounted throttle body from a Nissan. The Lexus is 70mm and this is 83mm, at...

    Porting intake manifold, larger tb vs. itb's

    Would the calculation of a 4.0 liter, V-8, with 40mm runner diameters be 5610 RPM peak torque, for a N/A application. Is that correct?
