Pull the #1 plug, stick a chopstick in it, make sure the cylinder is at it's bottom, stuff it with a non shedding rope and then rotate it tight. gl.

Mine runs, but has a shitload of work to go still. Go, go Supra money pit!!

Nice freebie! I can swear I see a targa roof there...? but you said it's a hardtop?...anyways, gl on your rebuild! Start saving, heh.

Ian, I must be thick today. I'm not sure what that portrays, but I'm sure it ain't complimentary! heh.

Don't do anything except proper maintenance till a problem arises. Then open the motor and check everything. Go from there. I'd leave well enough alone...especially if there are no issues now. gl.

The biggest question is whether the keyway is damaged. If it is fubared, people have fixed it by welding another keyway on the other side of the crank, and putting the balancer at 180 deg. The alternatives aren't pretty. Hopefully it just wasn't torqued enough before and it's all good.. gl.

Bought my roommates '82 10 years ago, fixed it all up, sold it for an '87na. Fixed that all up, sold it, bought an '88T, fixed that, then bought a black '90T. I'm keeping this one till I find that mint '92 teal, can't afford two, sigh. Needless to say I'm a bit addicted.

Hardly anyone does rust repair anymore. Most body shops just want to buy a new fender and grille and slap it on. They won't touch rust. At least not around here. The few old school guys that will do it are always swamped. Mine needs two rear quarter patches and some small repair on the inner...

^ X 2 Use the headlight sprayers. Just fill the holes left and you are good to go. They should work perfectly. I was thinking about doing that too, but is it really going to make that much difference performance-wise? I'd like to see some numbers before I go to all the hassle.

They are still available, e-mail anne@customfitautoaccessories.com They are specifically for MKIII'S. I have no idea how MKIV mats would fit, bro.

There was a group buy from this company awhile ago. I bought mine from them, and they still look good. They have the Supra logo as well. http://customfitautoaccessories.com/ gl.

Depending on your hp goals, a good duty cycle for injectors is approx. 85%. Plan from there... gl.

Most of the mhg's from the bigger companies should be fine for that level of hp. The bead and stopper types both have a proven track record. A major concern is thickness. You must first determine the amount of material taken off the decks of both the block and head. These measurements will...

If you are going to all the trouble of building your engine with quality parts and service, I'd strongly recommend Arp fasteners to replace stock rod bolts. If you ever decide to up the boost sometime down the road, it's nice to have the extra tensile strength they offer, imho. I'm happy I used...

Your headgasket thickness is determined by the deck height of the block and whatever has been removed from the cylinder head. If you've removed xxx amount from both, they should be measured. Then add up the numbers to get your actuals, and get the appropriate gasket to get back to stock cr. gl.

Any coolant loss? I'd pressure test the system, and check for codes first. Any ideas on how old the thermostat is? I'd make sure your water pump is 100% as well. gl.

Make sure the little plastic handbrake on/off switch is working right as well. It's just a little plunger type and they can get wonked if misaligned.

The base on my ffim is 4", and the cone shaped plenum maxes out at roughly 5.5".

Without maxing out the 550's duty cycle, the area of 425 rwhp could be attained with those injectors (with the other supporting mods being addressed). This is mostly my setup as well, haven't dynoed, but from all my research, seems about right. I used a 1UZ tb with my intake. It worked quite...
