Hey you guys are awesome, thanks for the offers, I finally picked up the correct one from the machine shop. it's the same shop that bored and decked my block. so the build is underway again!! thanks again guys. Delmer.

Napa here does not have that tool; WTF?? they can special order it. But I did find a machine shop bout 1/2 hour from where I live that has one, going to pick it up today, if it's the correct one I'll be back on track in no time. thanks, and I'll keep u updated.. Delmer.

i totally forgot about napa, we actually do have one here, i'll check them first thing monday morning. I know their stock here is not half of what most napa stores stock in the US, but I'll check with them. Satan, if they don't have it, i can pay for it with paypal, you'll just have to let me...

Hehe, maybe now you guys understand the sacrifices i make to own a mkIII in central america. with a population of less than 1/2 mil, we lack a lot of basic things taken for granted everywhere else. hardware stores here will carry tap & die sets, but none of them have that size. my mechanic...

My engine build was coming along quite nicely, now it's on hold cuz my mechanic can't find a 12mm x 1.25 tapping bolt. does anyone know where i can find one? I need one fedex'ed to me here in Belize asap!!! thanks for any help. Delmer.

I've had the 100% same problem. The problem is that the wiring is 20 years old, it doesn't push enough power thru anymore. get a regular 4 or 5 prong relay, and hook the starter signal to trip the the relay, then run a dedicated wire from the starter to the battery thru the relay. Good...

that .01 of an inch was from just the block.

Ok, we're starting to assemble the block now, I'll try to give as much details as I can: block is from a 90's cressida, so no oil squirters, bored +.020, surface was cut .01 of an inch when it was decked. 1.2mm HG from HKS, JE Pistons from Titan with 9:1 compression ratio, Eagle rods, arp...

I would not call him a grumpy old fart if I were you. "When he chooses to speak, you should choose to listen."

http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?t=75355 there's a list of differences between the NA and turbo blocks..

i have had some similar experiences. If your rad cap is not holding the pressure, that will drastically bring down the boiling point. also stopped up rad will do the same thing.

what he said, and from personal experience.. When I first changed from Civic to Supra, I asked some of the same questions, and soon started to get a headache cuz of all the different angles to the polygon. My suggestion: rebuild engine with metal head gasket, and then slowly mod your...

I have Eibach lowering kit, 1.5" drop in front, and my HKS downpipe touches a lot.. then again, i have bad roads here..

Oh, sorry if I'm wrong on that one. It's just that back when I mentioned my setup on here, some guys were telling me now all i need is forged pistons and rods, and i'd be good for 30psi.. and sorry if i go off topic, but how much horsepower are we talking bout to run 12's, and aproximately...

I didn't use a resistor, so i'll recheck the instructions and check the wiring again.

For a 12 sec pass, my guess is you'll need forged pistons and rods, and metal HG. I'm setting up my block with a set of JE pistons, eagle rods and an HKS 1.2mm metal HG. All from SIP Racing (member of this site) Don't take my word for it though, wait till the pros tell you that.

Before we pulled my engine apart I was trying to get the wideband system to work. I had it hooked up with the ECU using the signal from the wideband 02 sensor, but it did not run correct. Now I wonder, isn't it just simpler to add another bung and separate the wideband and stock sensors...

Hi, My name is Delmer, I noticed you're from EL Salvador. I've been there once. Anyways, reason I'm writing is because I myself am also from Central America. I live in Belize. Not a lot of supra this side of the world. haha. Anyways, hope to hear from you. Delmer.

definitely the code 52 has something to do with it. fix it, you'll see.

alright, thanks a lot. I'll be using nothing but the block and the main caps, everything else i'm swapping out. except for maybe the water pump housing and the timing cover. Now i just have to try and come up the extra $$ to slap in some Titan pistons and Eagle rods while we're at it...
