The machine shop told my mechanic to buy the thickest metal head gasket to make up for the materials were taken of the head.. head was rebuilt before..
So I'm not sure if I should buy the 3mm or the 2mm..
They already built the head which cost me $500, haven't seen the head yet.. But the...
Actually, I am also looking at the Koyo OEM Radiator MA70 Supra at www.935motorsports.com
It's a reasonable price and I'm looking to keep the car stock...
Anyone ever used those? Feedbacks appreciated :)
I agree...
My engine is in the process of being rebuilt (top end) with MHG, and ARP Bolts!
It has 99,xxx miles.
I didn't know if 57 trim was over kill, thats' why I asked..
LMAO... You guys are too much... :nono:
Anyway,
Do I need to send my turbo to driftmotion? or I can purchase what's in the picture?
Thanks,
PAUL
DUMBO, I like your sig "Getting old is mandatory, growing up isn't."
Thanks for the feedback guys..
Quin,
I really didn't mean to question the credibility of driftmotion work... I trust their work :)
I just wanted to see if someone out there who can give me a feedback and point me to the right direction..
I'm going to purchase this turbo, so I figured I ask...
Hey guys,
Any feed back on this turbo?

Maybe next time for me, I will be in Michigan on a business trip during the meet..
Anyway, my car won't be ready for a while, but I wanted to show up and meet some Sup's owners..
Have fun Gurls ;) and take lots of picture... Ciao till next meet...
I've been only in N/A Supras even 1995 Black Supra N/A 5 Speed. It was pretty quick compared to MKIII.
But my 1st experience was about 5 months ago when my buddy gave me a ride in his Evo-8, that was a sweet ride and the turbo just took over.
I owned three N/A Supras:
1987 White Auto
1989 Red 5...
It took me 5 years to find the best looking Supra.. But I need to rebuild the engine..
Here are some pics:

Now thats the kind post I was waiting for :icon_bigg
Quite Honestly, I'm not looking to up the boost above 6.8 (stock) and the car won't be my daily driver, I might even put about 3-4k miles a year if that!
I want to get the head ready in every way possible, inspect the block and clean it...
I know that the shop will tell me the MHG thikness I should buy, but what I meant that my mechanic (not Broadway Performance) does only OEM specs; never used a MHG, I (he) need to know how to seal it and how to torque it.
About the timing cover being attached, I've heard stories with ppl taking...
I was told the head will get 5 angle, I thought 3 was good enough.
As a matter of fact, I just did check the dip stick and there is no milky shake LOL.
I also thought that the torque spec was bad not fully the HG design, and that's why I considered the OEM head gasket, or Felpro.. Any better...
I agree, once the MHG is in and done right, then I will have peace of mind and turn up the boost higher if I want..
You are right boosting is addictive, my original plans were to get 400HP and had set about $4k-$5k thinking that would cover a complete rebuild, but boy I was wrong :nono:
My...
I don't know any locals who would help me..:hs:
I can follow direction from TSRM, I am a Telecom technician and very comfortable with tools..but I don't have a garage to do the work :icon_frow
I agree on the parts prices, I can shop around and find good deals..
Not really, I was quoted a little over $5k, 1000 for head re-built 5 angle job, 2500 for labor alone for taking off head and other components and put things back together, and the rest was parts; Cometic head gasket and other gaskets and rings, water pump, belts and hoses..
Not even touching...
