After a few years of sitting and selling off parts from my 2003 RX 1T, I have decided to pull down the remaining parts and scrap out the chassis. Before doing so I attempted to start, which it would not. I pulled the coils and plugs and did a compression test and compression was very low. This...
we have done the same thing on centrifugal superchargers on cars. We pulley it for say 16 psi at max rpm, then use a bov or external wastegate to regulate boost to a selected level. A couple things are accomplished. First boost with centrifugal superchargers is directly proportionate to rpm...

I put a 2" riser on with stock seat and it was ok. I am thinking of doing an apex seat, if I do I would be putting in a 4 or 5 inch riser for sure.

Found out that my wife is pregnant. Hopefully I will still have some spare time and money to get sled together. I have a lot of plans for it, but gotta start remodeling the spare bedroom, soon to be nursery. Later!!!

By the way paid $2000.00 for it. Does that seem high? I always get buyers remorse like a week after I buy something and keep thinking I shouldnt have bought it. oh well. Later
thanks guys, I checked, oil is low. it has been sitting upright for prob two or three weeks, but no gauge. I am going to get some oil monday and fill it just to see what that does. I am sure it has oil pressure, no noises from engine at all. next step will be a gauge. do you count the...
Well I just started the teardown to fix the leaking exhaust gaskets / donuts. Upon taking out the suspension I found a broken spring, and a couple bad wheels on the Expert X. I got the bars, cowl, seat, tank, turbo, and Y-pipe off. All this to change some gaskets. Having a 4-2-1 pipe made...
