What he said. Sounds like a huge amount of blowby. I assume that you get a decent amount of blue smoke from the exhaust. I would guess that piston rings would have to account for that much oil loss/ crankcase pressure.

I've heard of people going with a smaller cannister. I think the 1JZ powered supra's had a smaller version.

So, i've been working a bit on this install, but I came to a speedbump- the throttle bracket assembly. The problem is, that the post suport of the bracket assembly needs to occupy nearly the exact same place as the #5 coil's mounting tab. I was having a hard time trying to figure out a way to...

Looks good.

First, check that the battery terminals are very clean. If they are oxidized on the contact face, they will have a very small electrical contact area, and when you go to start, it will short under the high amperage. PS- Auto parts stores are sometimes sketchy about allowing the return of...

I found that the Eibach's were very easy to live with in th real world. Hardly ever scraped going over speed bumps, etc. I think alot of people end up rubber their fender liners because they eventually lose a few of the fasteners here and there during maintainence. If they have all of their...

I know that the ecu gets a speed input, but it comes from the speedometer itself?

I really like that your manifold allows the use of ac. That was always a dealbreaker for me. I assume that it requires a battery relocation though, yes?

Did my harness today.

Didn't do much today, but got one tiresome chore out of the way: Plug n Play DG500 coil harness.

Good to hear that you got things sorted out.

No. The engine/ ecu doesn't really care/ know what the speedo is doing.

So, a minor setback... After spending $120 to get my tires swapped over to the new wheels, I started messing with the rear camber a little bit, to tuck the wheels in. Specifically the left rear, as the right side looked to be cambered well enough already to fit the wheel. But even after that...

Don't think so. I think i can get away with mild camber. Once i lower it and throw the front fenders on, i'll be able to verify.

Lol. Two summers ago, and never on this engine. But now that i have the dash, i can start reassembling it and install the ecu/ maft pro. Then we'll see if it'll run.

This is what the front looks like, but of course its a bit difficult to gauge the fender fitment when its on jacks, and there's no fender. The rear. The coilovers are adjusted high, so that i can work under it.

*Edit.

So this is what the wheel looks like on the car. I kinda held my breath when I installed it, afraid it might interfere with the shocks, but no- it's good by about a 1/2". Needs a bit of camber, but I think that's all. Tires are installed now and the wheels are on the car. Looks...

Quite a day of packages today. Also got my targa seal set and ignition harness plug from DM. AND, a new set of 18x9/18x10 wheels. The auction was dirt cheap, so I bid on it. Wasn't really expecting to win them, but surprisingly, I won on my lowest bid. Now I have to swap my tires...

Meh- Looking at the level of detail in your car thus far...I think "you got this".
