divorsed dump pipe?

[RyleyMA61]

they're only good provided the wastegate pipe is long enough to not create turbulence back into the main pipe

big single pipe is better

how come nobody knows how to look for themselves these days.

[da12nv]

You are putting it into a non-factory engine bay.
Anything you buy 'off-the-shelf' you are taking a risk that it may not fit.

[jimmmayyy]

if i was you i wouldn't be spending money on making it faster. save your pesos for when the thing grenades, because it will if you just use the factory head bolts.

I love hearing the words low klm jap import with a 7M . Back 12 years ago all the 7M genuine low km imports had done between 80 and a 120000klm .
Thats why today they need a bit of tlc to ensure a good one.

I'll second that notion.
You should be looking for ARP 165$ and Cometic head gaskit 250$ before doing mods....

Secondly will your warranty on the Motor stand if you modify it..read your warranty clause.

[da12nv]

well i havnt modifed t really..ive just changed the water pump and timing belt and painted it all up..

[jimmmayyy]

ah well it's painted.. it won't blow now!

lol dude seriously, if you don't do it properly now while its easy, you're gonna kick yourself in a couple of months when it does blow. there's no such thing as a low k 7M anymore. and when this engine has known problems (which are easily fixed!) then why scrimp??

[da12nv]

yea i kno i spoke to my machanic today and he is putting in a cometic gasket in for me.

[jimmmayyy]

the problem doesn't lie in the gasket, it's with the head bolts

[da12nv]

yep i kno im doin both
