You do need a thermostat to slow the water down while it is in the radiator so enough air can pass thru to cool what is in the radiator. That may be why it works on the highway. Do you still have the stock fan with the 14" one? There may be some trash in the rad fins or inbetween the rad...

I am sorry to hear that. Your car sounded and ran fine the other day when i saw it. That scares me since mine does have that cam rattle in it. I do hope mine last well forever. Maybe you hurt something when you were playing with that vette. Isnt that car your daily driver?

I have eibach and Illumina 2s. the front was so low i would bottom out everywhere. I dont remember haveing any trouble with the front end alignment but i do have a problem with the rear caster not getting into spec. the lower suspension arm cannot go into the center enough. I had to make a...

I have the fidenza and it was a snug fit. I bought it over 2 years ago but just now installed it. I do believe it is flush as driving with the HPF bronze clutch with ACT pp is butter smooth so far with just 120 miles. I had the Fidenza and act pp fully balanced with all other moving...

Be glad to stop buy. I will be putting some miles on the car as soon i am sure everything is running correctly. I have a few noises that i want to identify before i go out of town with it. That shop is Jackson Cylinder Head. Phone number is 601-353-1014. They are the only shop in jackson...

which IC pipe are you talking about the one from turbo to Ic or the return up to the throttle body? there is a ic joint in the fender they may have forgotten to tighten or even the one at the IC. Even check the little vacuum hoses the may have broken one off. It does sound just like a...

Thanks for the info. Why are the torque numbers so close? Are the graphs similar up to a point the the SP pushes on past with the better flow?

Well the engine is in and running! It has been 3 years almost since i drove my supra. I have been driving a buick or lumina since then. It feels so different to sit down into a low car. The steering is so much better than that front wheel drive crap. The engine did not crank the first...

Any company can make a mistake by not hitting or hitting the wrong button. Never judge any company by one sale. HPF does a lot of business and i am sure mk3 supras are not a large percentage of sales there. I have ordered about $3200 in parts and realize that HPF can not have a couple...

The big one is 24mm. You can use a 1 inch socket too since one inch equals 245 milimeters so it would only be .5mm off. The smaller one is 22mm and you only need to remove it if you are replacing the spring. To remove the bracket just remove the 24mm big bolt. The small one at the top is...

Thanks gixxer. The rain is slowing me down. I look foward to seeing that 300zx soon

Those pics help a lot. Cleaning them up really helped make it easier to tell what went on in the ports. Thanks

Thanks guys. I will remove the J tube when i upgrade the fuel. I have the fittings and afpr but i will install it. There better not be any oil leaks in my future. I still havent put the engine in yet. I will have in installed this weekend.

I went to a junk yard and bought 2 rear quarter panels in worthless shape and also bought two good in my interior color from a member to cut and install with the bar. I bought the good ones so my originals were not cut incase i want to remove the bar and not have any holes. The junk panels i...

My supra has been down for almost 3 years now. That is a long time to not be boosting. I have acquired parts over the years and will have a strong engine but still the stock 220,000 mile ct26. I will have to upgrade after the break in. I have painted some parts and hope the high temp paint...

flubyux2 That ridge is created when the valve seats are pressed in. It is a small lump directly under the seat. You can feel it with your finger. Be careful inserting and removing any grinding bit in and out of the valve hole so as not to touch the seat. You can grind around this area and...

Just removing the ridge under the valve seat will help out a lot. It is easy to do to. See the first pic where the seat on the right is done and the seat on the left is stock. The casting line on the sides of the ports is also smoothed away. See the second pic. It did not take much work to do...

Thanks for that extra pic. Can you clean the intake out some please. It is difficult to see the directions the air would flow because the walls are difficult to define when they are black in the pics. I think the intake can be rounded out to flow smoother at the turns to the intake valve...

Thanks so much for the sliced head pics. I was looking for a junk head before i ported my head to see what the wall thicknesses were. The walls are thicker than i assumed. Could we see a pic from the combustion chamber side please to give us a better point of reference on the head.

You must always use a grommet and i cut one down below the brake booster area and clutch petal. After you get the wires threaded thru the grommet and all installed you can just put some black silicone in the hole to cap it off to keep moisture and noise out.
