Your not even to the fun point yet of that MasterPower turbo. That thing hasnt had a chance to wake up yet. once you start boosting around 20psi, the climb between 16-20psi pulls you into a whole different world ;) Oh i also had a question.. with the ebay manifold did you have to get a turbo spacer? i was told the compressor housing of the turbo would hit the runners on the manifold if you didn't get a spacer to lift the turbo up some.

it didnt clear by like 1/16" of an inch, i just used the finishing side of a body hammer on the runner to make it fit lol.
can barely even tell other than a couple small marks in the metal, i would get a spacer tho, would make things a lot easier.

wow i've been neglecting this thread hardcore....

Have a couple good things to report.
finally dynoed the car last month, made 358whp and 410wtq @ 14.5psi with my a/f @ 10.0 pretty much the whole run.
running 16.5psi now with a/f between 11.3-11.7 no dyno numbers tho.
n remember im still running a bone stock 7m with felpro headgasket and arp headstuds.

replaced my blue front seats and cracked to hell rear leather seats with a set of MINT MINT MINT cloth seats from a 91 shadow grey along with the darker grey trunk carpet.

im in process of painting my interior black, and finishing my blue LED conversion, along with white LED map lights.

last night i ordered bushings for front and real control arms and rear trailing arm. will be welding reinforcement on the trailing arm as well.
also got a 91-92 style front toyota emblem, some fipg, new cps cover, new clutch master cylinder, and front lower ball joints and rack end links.

thanks.
no pics, havent got my sideskirts yet. it looks the same as in the previous pics, just with some minty foglights i got for $35 (thanks garebear) :)
its gettin painted again within the month hopefully, after i order my bomex sides.
will be plenty of pics then.

im gonna be putting blue LED's in the key ring, door key ring, misc buttons, glovebox, ashtray, and im gonna put one in the empty din slot under my cd player.




oh ya, and since i didnt mention before, the numbers were made with the cheap ebay wastegate still in.
14.5psi in 4th comes on right around 3100rpm

lil update,
smoked my sidemarkers, and tryin to do the front turn signals as well but the paint keeps cracking.
put the new toyota emblem on the front, installed F+R upper control arm bushings. i cannot get the lower arm bolts off the subframe for the life of me, the bushing is seized to the bolt. installed the lower ball joints as well.
and the best news of all. just finished installing my new southbend OFE full disc clutch. i like how it grabs, little bit of slippability but you can feel it wanting to hook and grab.
im 170 city driving miles into the break in (which i did all of them today.) so far so good, will report more after i run @ the track this week.

Jimmy Mac dumpster FTW lol. That guy is the shit!

So I figured out why that clutch would not come off lol. The friggen pilot bearing was practically welded on there. Struggled to get it off even with a 3 jaw puller...

yea my dads used his dumpsters for as long as i can remember, and Jen's dad work with em too.


that would deff explain why we couldn't muscle that thing off.
do you need another pilot bearing? i have a couple spare r154's, gonna need a flywheel for it?

oh n make a build thread of ur gonna fix up the supe.

No, I got a flywheel on my other motor, and I have a new fidanza. As for the pilot bearing I'll prolly just pick one up from toyota or big aaron prolly has them.

Finally did something worth updating. New rotors calipers and pads for the front. Thankfully it's warming up so I'll be able to install my new bushings and camber bolts then finally get an alignment.

i think you're right Crisp, all this nice weather gave me the push i needed.
the car is going under the knife again this weekend, and will probably take a couple weeks for me to finish.
not gonna say what im doing yet tho, its gonna be sooo drastic. :)
oooohh i can't wait!
