SO after a long wait, the machine shop is finally done with my engine parts. My bill came up to $1,287. This includes a complete cylinder head rebuild. I got a valve job, mill, he fixed some exhaust stud threads, and fixed the coolant tube that was broken off. My crank was polished and balanced...

Haha ok I see. WELL I don't have a welder at my house. I am looking into buying a small Miller MIG welder. I have used TIG but I don't really have the time to be melting holes in the car when it would have been fine to just leave it alone. This car will be driven on the street. Maybe some day I...

I pulled the sound deadening out of my civic with dry ice. I'm thinking about leaving it in to, deaden the sound. Maybe in the future I'll pull it out. I guess to reach my 3000lb weight goal it'll need to come out. What do you use for new sound deadening?

Just a little update. I stripped everything out of the car. The carpet was all stinky and molding, same with rear seats. I removed the AC condenser from the dash and put the blower box back in without it. I cleaned the blower motor itself, and all of the vents for the heater system. I found old...

What spring rate? How much money would you want for them shipped to 98372?

I got these wheels and a bunch of other Acura parts for $75 bucks. They are 17x7 +45. Think I could run them with spacers and extended studs? I think they sort of look like Ferrari wheels! Called machinist today. Head passed pressure test!

Comments welcome! I put these pictures up to see what you all thought. I don't know if anyone is interested, but here is my build thread for my Civic. I just like reading build threads :D http://www.d-series.org/forums/naturally-aspirated/167658-started-my-engine-today.html

SO there she sits. Fairly clean car for its age. Minor dent on the hood. I think on on the passenger side quarter panel. Wheels and tires are nice but I would prefer quality suspension over these cut springs and front ebay lowering springs. You can tell that the engine was freshly built while...

I contacted someone on Craigslist with a Supra for sale asking if he had any spare parts. I drove to Kirkland, WA tonight (about a 45 min drive North) and paid $80 for a core head, intake manifold, throttle bracket, fuel rail and cold start injector. Hauled that bitch home in my Civic haha...

I really appreciate your input. I like that people on this website actually steer you in the right direction rather than trolling. The head that I have is complete, as it was installed on the car ready to run. IF I can swap the parts to a new casting, that would be ideal. Can't wait to get...

So I got a call from the machine shop today confirming that the cylinder head leaks terribly when pressure tested. Too bad my buddy paid 750 bucks for a machine shop to give him a fucked up cylinder head. Ill post pictures when I get the parts back. How much to 7mgte cylinder heads sell for? I...

Ok Lex gotcha. I have a Lexus 1uz AFM that he was using to run the car. I think I'll buy a larger injector so I can ad boost later if I am not satisfied with 400hp. Denso makes a lot of sensors and parts for Honda's. I believe my MAP sensor, TPS, and IACV (Idle air control valve) is a Denso...

This is my daily. I built a 12.5:1 1.6L SOHC VTEC engine. The power out put was 165whp 125tq on a Dyno Dynamics machine. It makes plenty torque for city driving, and it's tuned slightly lean for freeway, low load cruising. I get 46mpg at about 15.3-15.9 AFR at 65mph.

I've read that the stock fuel pump is capable of 500hp. I will get a walbro, but I've heard people do it. Also I am looking for some Lexus 550cc injectors. Does anyone recommend larger cc's for 400hp? It is a stock bore 7mgte. The previous owner had the block honed, bought new piston rings...

Hello! I am new to Supra Mania but I frequent other car forums for my other vehicles. I just picked up a 1990 Supra Turbo. I paid $1200 for this car and bought it from a buddy of mine that recently rebuilt the engine, then when he went to start it, blew a head gasket. I have experience...
