    Thermal coatings: How well do they hold up over time?

    I had a local company that does ceramic coating do a few items years back (turbine housing, O2 housing, etc) & they didn't stand up too long, started flaking off after a couple summers use. I had Swaintech coat a few pieces (portion of a downpipe, O2 housing, exhaust mani) & it seemed to stand...

    2G Big brake kit

    I'm running a TCE kit as well (6 piston w/13" rotors). My advise would be to contact Todd from TCE & get his recommendation depending on your intended use. He's very knowledgeable & will set you up properly.

    2G Could I reasonably expect to rev to 9K with this setup?

    Yes, that would be the one. He has added some additional options since I bought that clutch, so I'd probably go with the TZ/B disk instead. I never had any issues but the TZ/FE doesn't stand up to heat as well, so you can glaze the clutch if you hot lap while drag racing, etc. The TZ/B isn't...

    2G Could I reasonably expect to rev to 9K with this setup?

    Higher hp fwd's are typically a bit easier on clutches compared to awd's, as with street tires, most of the time you're just spinning tires. My car makes that kind of power & a South Bend SS PP with TZ/FE held the power no problem. I removed the clutch after 35K & it looked in great shape &...

    2G Could I reasonably expect to rev to 9K with this setup?

    Revving to 9K is awesome, but when your running a 16g turbo, it will tap out well before then, so there's no point. Depending on what 16g you'll probably be shifting in the 7-7.5K range, any more then that & you'll just be making noise & not going anywhere quick.I shift at 8.5K on my setup...

    2G Cam recommendations for my setup?

    For your goals & a broad powerband I'd be looking at Kelford 264's or GSC S1's. I run the Kelford 264's, great powerboand, they have more lift & duration then typical "264" cam's. Their typically about as drop in & go as you can get. The GSC S1's also look like a good option, just after I...

    Whats everyone running for a boost controller?

    If it was available when I swapped boost controllers years & years ago, I'd probably be running Link with a solenoid. I never was a fan of the different manual boost controllers I tried, always got large boost spikes, which I was never a fan of. Swapped to an Apexi AVC-R & haven't looked back...

    Dsm82hta vs dsm82htz vs xr71-64?

    Might be a little late on this but I've run the DSM 82HTA for a number of years. Spool for me was in the same ballpark as posted above, think 20psi is rights around the 4300 range. Coming from a 3052 think I lost 2 maybe 300 rpms in spool. If your coming for a 3065, you'll probably be pretty...

    Lancer Evolution III Intake Manifold

    Curious, where did you order them from & what was their cost? I wanted to change my wires & was looking for the EvoIII NGK wires but didn't have any luck finding a source for them, so ended up going with Magnecor EvoIII wires instead.

    2G Has anyone ordered knuckle kit MR325010 or MR325009 lately?

    I'll assume he ment to check with them via email or phone (not just look at their website). This is probably the best answer vs trying to find someone on here, that has recently ordered it (I wouldn't think this to be the case but things can change at anytime).Either that or call/email the...

    Teflon fuel line, Carbon lined really necessary?

    I've ran Earl's Teflon lined SS hose from the rail to FPR for probably close to 10 years now. I initially switched because I hated the fuel smell you would get with reg synthetic lined hose. I can't recall if the hose is carbon lined (I'd guess it's not) but no issues here. When I called...

    2G GSX rear knuckle upper bushing

    I know I'm late to the party but since I've ran both ES & Prothane, thought I'd give my input. I started with ES, they worked fine except the top rear knuckle bushing, that the OP is asking about. Those failed on my car after one summers use. I replaced those specific bushings with Prothane &...

    Just had an Alignment done at Firestone, I am beyond confused

    If it were me, I'd be taking it to a better shop that deals with modified cars.My guess would be either they didn't try to adjust rear toe or they added so many washers to dial out negative camber in the rear, that they couldn't get toe in spec. Like Brian said, will depend on what kind of...

    Koni yellow shocks and appropriate spring rates

    I use to run 500F/350R, first day lapping & I knew the front was too soft. I swapped to 700's in the front & the car feels much better now. While I typically seem to only have the car on the road for 3-4 months now, when it is on the road it is daily driven. I don't have any problems with the...

    Proportioning Vlave Brake Upgrade

    Without knowing any specs on the Outlander setup, as was posted above I doubt you'll required a larger MC,booster or different proportioning valve for the setup to work properly, the stock 1" awd MC should be fine.I'm running the stock 1" MC with Wilwood 6 piston calipers up front & the Evo...
