You are not ready yet. A new compressor wheel means that you need to rebalance the rotating assembly. Just read my first post for more info, under the heading "IF THE TURBO WAS DISASSEMBLED WITHOUT MARKING THE WHEEL, SHAFT OR NUT IN RELATION TO ONE ANOTHER." You did notice I pictured a big...

^Sorry to disagree with a homie, but I feel: I am going the 'keep it' route, as far as the oil pump goes. I mic'd and measured all clearances - they are perfect after 143Kms - so why change it. DeanMarcum (a member of other forums) once said that he mic'd brand new pumps that did not meet...

Not any straight edge will do. You need a precision straight edge, like shops have. You won't find a precision straight edge at Wal-Mart or Home Depot; they're not that straight. Some do think that rulers are straight enough to measure heads & blocks though. A machinist would put a...

I used to be exactly like that. But now, as my tastes are advancing, I changed my mind & realized that other Supra enthusiasts would realize that the left vent is purely non functional (it has no function, right?), and non functional things don't appeal to me. To me things that function well...

lol Just seen them go on eBay. For additional body mods, I only like sideskirts, but Bomex is not my favorite, but they do make a nice front bumper lip. If you get lucky, they will pop up on eBay again soon.

I have never heard of a CT-26 helping a motor lay down 700HP. I have heard of people talking lots of crap though. That dude that said it would is a liar. I think that it has been established that what the seller is talking about is crap, so the thread's purpose is over...and this thread it...

Hi Lanky, this one can be yours; its not MK3 related (or really that great).

Why didn't you tell the folks who painted the car, Lam? Lam took his innovative outlook to spraying cars as well as he has done to fabricating. I just know it is a Vette color. Vette colors rock! Mine was once painted a Vette color also (Torch Red).

I never believed that a compression test was the ideal way to check for BHGs. It can't diagnose intermittent BHGs at all, which is how most of them start in the first place! IF you like what you just read, here's more: http://supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?t=251 It was an attempt to...

Since we don't have a Dodge Neon section, hello SM OT.

Spray can primers suck. They can NOT fill as you would need it to. They may NOT be compatible with real urethane paint and it may lift (I seen it happen before). They will shrink because they harden by shrinking (solvents evaporating), while real primer harden because they get mixed with...

Umm, why? All you have to do is see this link: http://supramania.com/forums/showgroups.php? Is there anything you need help with or do you have any other Qs?

heh Actually the guy that can best answer your question visits our OT section. So I will move this thread there.

I have discussed raising my compression with a bunch of members at one time in the chat room (GrimJack, Suprra_Girl, drjonez, sponsored1, projectsupra) since many months ago. Suprra_Girl has high compression pistons in her 7M-GTE. Sammydafish is the one that got me thinking about raising...

Siman has never messed with me. Somehow...we just don't tangle on threads at all. Maybe we post on different things and don't see each other much on the forums, or maybe he is not as bad as others want to make him out to be...or maybe he is different than he once was but his old rep has not...

Really?! You think it is harder to get banned at SF then here? I would have said that it is harder to get banned here. But then you are speaking from your experience, so it is somewhat biased, and you only received time outs. Lamarossa & Catchmeifyoucan3 got banned for life over at SF...

If you are going to or did put it in your car that would be one thing, if you just want to talk about it & it is not in a Supra, then I have to put this in OT.

Because? I want a full report on the pros & cons regarding why you believe so, Ckanderson.

heh, so how many don't you like here? I know it is at least two because you once said the modS here are on a power trip. I know I am trying to do what I think is right, but then some may not see it that way. I just don't know who is on your list...

Nope, I won't burn myself. But, why did you choose vegtable oil over water? The Chilton's manual states to use water (I have three manuals; TSRM, Chilton's, and Hayes; because I have OCD and they do have different info). Do you think using water will rust the connecting rod or the wrist pin...
