    Advice/Opinions: 3/4 ton P/U purchase

    Get boating magazines tow vehicle of the year: The Nissan Titan. Tow rating of 9500lbs, puts 6 sec. on the ford f-150 0-60 pulling an 8k pound trailer, outpulls all the domestic v8's including the hemi and the 6.0 chevy. Also will more than likely hold its resale value over the competition as...

    Oil Catch for PCV system

    A good tip to clean the oil from the pcv out of the intercooler is to remove the intercooler and flush it with gasoline, its about the only way to do it. Thats the sole reason I rerouted my pcv, the pcv really makes a mess of the intake tract and i'm sure reduces intercooler efficiency.

    Question about piston slapping in Vortec Engines

    Thats the point there is no such thing as an evenly matched F-150 vs. titan. There is large amount of ignorance in your comments towards the titan, first off why would nissan want to just stick to light duty trucks when with there first attempt they are at the top of the full size truck food...

    Question about piston slapping in Vortec Engines

    That pretty funny, there is absolutely no comparison between the nissan 5.6 and the ford 5.4 when it comes to power output. BTW the only gear options the titan has are 2.96(similer to a 4 spd. auto with 3.73's) and 3.36(same as a 4spd w/ 4.11) Sorry but the ford is a pig, i've got a bunch of...

    Question about piston slapping in Vortec Engines

    If your in the market for a new truck do yourself a favor and try the Nissan Titan. I recently purchased at titan and can honestly say there isn't another truck thats even close when comparing 1/2 ton pickups. In all the the truck comparo's the chevy has consistantly finsihed a distant 5th and...

    Those with 150,000 miles or more, check in

    1996 civic dx 1.6L, owned since brand new, mobil 1 5w-30 since first oil change, oil changed every 10k miles. 160k on engine with zero oil consumption. Last summer doing the the timing belt, had to remove valve cover, totally amazed at the lack of sludge or burnt oil in the valve train area, the...

    AMSOIL Interceptor™ Synthetic Two-Cycle

    I have had pretty good luck with amsoil in my snowmobile in the past, kept the valves pretty clean and is typically priced cheaper than the oem oils. It would have been nice if the above test was done on the arctic cat 700cc f7 motor as it produces 140h.p. and is very demanding on the oil, the...

    Toyota Oil Filter 90915-YZZB1

    will the lack of a bypass valve be a problem, The 7m is was designed to run at low oil pressure,(40psi at 3k rpm)so i doubt the filter would go into bypass often. Just wondering if I should not install this filter on my supra, I could put it on my 4 runner and get the other filter with the...

    Toyota Oil Filter 90915-YZZB1

    I bought the stock tundra filter for my 89 supra turbo(90915-yzzb5), in reading I noticed that it does not have a bypass valve, Is this going to be a problem, cause i do believe the filter is automatically bypassed under boost situations. Should I go with the other denso tundra filter next time...

    '94 Civic, 268K, after head gasket

    Also if you want to verify that the timing belt was installed correctly its pretty easy to check. Just need a 10mm socket, get the engine to tdc (notch on crank pulley lined up with line on lower timing belt cover 12 o'clock position), remove plug wires from plugs, set them aside. Remove cam...

    '94 Civic, 268K, after head gasket

    I had one last 140k miles on a d16 1.6L sohc non-vtec, looked good when it came off, no cracks etc. Waited 14 years and 140k on my supra turbo(non-interference engine) however it had lots of cracks and probably would have let go pretty soon.

    UOA for a Turbo Supra

    Your kinda stuck between a rock and a hardplace with dry cranking the motor. Most of the 2jz's that have suffered crank walk occured soon after people installed stand alone engine managment computers, to tune the computer the engine would be cranked a considerable amount to get a baseline. That...

    Redline in a twin turbo Supra

    I run mobil 15w-50 in my 7m-gte supra, car is modded running 14 psi of boost(stock 6.8) and turbo is still alive with 136k miles on it. So there is no doubt in my mind of mobil 1's ability in a turbo motor. My friend runs mobil 1 0w-40 in his 94 bpu(400rwhp)supra turbo, stock twins are still...
