I'm looking at picking up a set of the ls 400 4 piston brake rotors, but they must fit under aftermarket 16" wheels. I know the stock ls wheel is 16", and they fit under these, but they will not fit under stock sc wheels. I'm either getting the enkei rpf01 in 16x8" or the volks cen28's in a 16x8...

God that's a sexy setup. I was grilling your post on club lexus, had a few more questions. is that adaptor for the intake already set up for a sc400 throttle body or some type of mustang unit? longer throttle cable required? You said the air/water setup just dropped right into his...

Lex, if you need to set up a pre order to afford setting this up let us know. I've been thinking about doing a cheap twin setup with mostly other turbo car parts (twin 1g eclipse side mounts, 1g bov's, e3 16g's, ect beacuse I have 2 dsm parts cars), and theres no way I want to spend 2500$ on...

I've learned that the way to test some of the tach signals I'm not sure about on the remote starts (DEI brand only, I don't work with anyother) is you can hook them up and see if the tach programs, if it does your usualy ok with the dei units. Do not be worried about low voltage (.5 volts ect)...

It was actualy my love for the LT-5 (which I belive to be one of the best motors ever built. If gm had been able to mass produce them like the LS-1, the LT-5 would be a much more popular motor than the LS-1) that led me to the lexus 1UZFE. I just could not afford to buy a ZR-1, or the parts. The...

I blasted a phesant doing 60+ the other day. Made a hell of a noise. Contacted right on the a pillar passenger side. A bunch of them were flying over, and one was just a little too low. No damage I could see.

Funny, that car was turbo timed & run on mobile 1 full synthetic for most of its life. There's a saying I heard passed around most automotive forums. You can either build it right once, or build it cheap, the rebuild it right the next time. I wonder which costs more in the long run? Just...

the salt flats are located right on the border of utah/nevada. aprox 90 mins from my house. I 15 passes right by where they do the testing. Awfully boring strech of road. I normaly don't do high speed runs as 1. I'm a *****, 2. I've been trying to keep my insurance rates low as the SC bends...

any real info on where that kit is from?

They also have a **** reputation in DSM land. Lots of headers made & advertised to fit the stock mitsu style round 4 bolt turbine flange, and ended up having the garett style oblong turbo flange. a huge group buy of like 60 or 100 of these were shipped out. I've never seen a single person...

4 cam motors are naturaly more weight in the worst possible spot (top). This is how the Z06 has such a good curb weight (I want to say about 3150). Look at the older LT5 DOHC alum motor in the ZR-1. I've never seen an exact figure, but I've seen quotes of aprox 750lbs for the motor alone...

Forget the Bosche platinum +4's. They're not a bad plub NA but have tons of problems if you go boosted. I've never had a problem with any NGK plugs, from cheapo coppers to expensive iridiums. Take it easy on the center electrode of iridium plugs though, it can break easy if you gap them the...

Beacuse we all know OEM's do the best job as maximizing performance, so we shoud all just stop modding our cars, beacuse OEM's knew what they were doing, and we're just wasting out time. :saroll:

This is what I was getting at. The finer mist will cool better, while using less water. When I did an I/c spray in my dsm the crappy nozels I was using just let too much water out in no where near a mist pattern. It would quickly drain the washer fluid resivor with out helping much. I've...

I think he's talking about just misting the I/C. I've done it before on my turbo dsm, and felt that a higher pressure pump was needed even for spraying the out side of the I/C. At the very least a good misting nozzel from Aquamist should be used, as all the windsheild washer & drip irrigation...

It's pretty sad one day when your sitting in the garage one day, surround by a mass of car parts. You guys know what I'm talking about, the old ones you don't quite want to sell, beacuse you might by another of that some day. And your realize that it would probably have been cheaper to be...

The 4.3l V6 from gmc was making 280hp & 360 ft/lbs of torque (rated, actual ouput closer to 300 hp/400 ft/lbs tq) in 91 in the GMC Syclone. It was turbo though. Sad to say, but GM was on top of the turbo/import game with the GN, T-type, TTA, Sy/Ty, & Turbo Sunbird, but let them all drop off...

Is is just the driver shafts being different that prevents the TT m/t diff from going in, or are the mounts also different? I'm interested in putting in some lower (numericaly taller) gearing to bring my RPM's down on the freeway at cruise if I can ever get enough money scrounged up to go FI. It...

The yellow one looks like the non turbo one that LPE brought to road & tracks Top speed shoot out. 660 hp naturaly aspriated, it topped out at 217 mph or something insane like that with no cats, but with the cats on got spanked by the F1. It was my love for the LT5 that made me get...

Depending on what year, you got either 385 hp, or 405. 2 fully independet sets of injectors, the second set controlled by a "power" key in the dash to keep stupid people from killing them selves. Would be one hell of a monster dd, as you could run stock injectors in the mains, and huge ones in...
