It's a 2-bolt to a 4-bolt motor swap. So there's just some wiring games we have to play. The red wire's connected to the blue one....etc etc. I don't know if I could get it up there, would have to find someone that I could borrow a truck and trailor.

RussianVr4 is the biggest idiot 3si.org has to offer. He drives his supra up a tree, gets it back, then rants a 8 page post about how the "pigs" got him again.

Karma is sweet, isn't it?

Have fun at the NG everyone. Scott, you better let the rest leave early, so they can keep up!

[iceman_ii]

Naa... I think I'll leave early, and let them get the speeding tickets trying to catch up while I drive like a Betty.

Hey guys two things, 1) I need to change my plugs. Thats one thing that was limitting my HP on they dyno. I still have the stock plugs(gapped doen of course) with every thing else changed. Which plugs would you guys recomend? I just can't decied over platinum(sp) or iradium(sp) plugs. 2) Where the hell can I get some 110 octain around me? When I go back I wana see what this bitch can do with the boost cranked up to its fullest, turbos permitting.

Also Ro, are you still getting rid of that stillin down pipe? My current dp + test pipe does not match up very well and leaks bad (its caus eof the test pipe) and want to get a full pice put in. If not i'll get Ziggies to make me one.

Lastly I also have pic's of the meet at my house that I forgot I had. I'll put them up later.

[RoVR4]

nah Nik i'm keeping the stillen DP

also...Nik switch to Copper plugs....cheaper and better spark

www.importpoweronline.com
check the spark plugs......go with two heat range colder than stock


also..when youre on the dyno.......get her tuned as well as you can on pump gas.....even if its just at 15-16psi

then when you are using race gas.......just raise the boost and that tune should be fine still

[iceman_ii]

NGK R5672A-8 Its a non-resistor copper racing plug, so you get more juice to the spark (can you say "wider gap")... granted, they warn you that there could be more ESD (electrostatic disturbance) but I haven't noticed any issues.

Its also 2 heat ranges cooler, and they stock them at Carquest

[vr4ludak]

Ro, Thats how they tuned my car. I believe I'm running 16 or 17 psi on pump gas now and its running veryyyy good. The dyno tunner (Tiwan(sp) I believe was his name) said that my plugs and exhaust leak were factors that could net me more HP.

Scott, Thanks I'll order thoughs right away. I just hope thay can last me at least a year cause I know Coppers don't last that long.

[vr4ludak]

Am I reading this right, $18 for 8 plugs???

**Off IPO's site**
NGK NGK #7173 R5672A-8 set of 8 $18.00

[RoVR4]

yep...great price eh

plus next time around you just need to order 4 plugs
