Sounds techy enough to go to the tech forum. Thread moved.

I shall leave you a redirect in the from the General Discussions forum but move this to the Southern Region;)

I think that is a tough section to mod, SF OT, so that is why they may be so hard. I would not know really since I have only posted in SF OT for only one day (two or three posts total). I seem to only post about cars or forum related things. From reading my posts, maybe I seem shallow. heh...

So you don't have what I have called a #2 type BHG in my thread. There are other types & I discuss LOTS of info in this thread I made when the site first came up: http://supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?t=251

Oh damn! What happened? Over there you aren't supposed to question mods (I think it is in their rules) because other members will think that they can get away with dissing the "authority" figures. Yeah, I have many friends over there too. Link us since you mentioned it, or if you feel...

Slow66 is using 15" rims, http://supraforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=286349&page=1&pp=25 but as you know, his car is far from stock in many ways so he may have possibly changed his rear brake system (I don't know).

Looks to be an overall nice car from the pic. I like the rims and think you should give us close up pics on those. Do you plan on keepin the wing? I wondered if you put it on or the previous buyer. The car seems to like the later year parts: front enblem is silver so it looks like the later...

& But then again, there is a lot of hatred between some of the MK4 guys & some of the MK3 guys also, so I am surprised so many said go with the MK4. As far as looks go, I think that an MK4 is much better looking than a 350Z. The MK4 NEEDS side skirts to look good. The MK3 can benefit to...

Those look like my bike's carbs. In that setup, I also have a small carb for each cylinder for my inline, but I only have 4. That is the weirdest setup I have ever seen for a 7M. I don't think it work so good if it was a GTE though because I am guessing that those carbs aren't computer...

I second that. If you change the cap you have to change the connecting rod as well. If you lose a cap, you need a connecting rod with its rod cap. You don’t necessarily need a new piston. I am quite sure you can use the piston you have (unless it is bad for some other reason). I know from my...

DoLuckTurboSupra, your car is SOO HOT that I am going to have to put this thread in the Supra Showoff section! Your engine is clean & shiny. Your paint is even more cleaner & shiny'er!! I know you put lots of time in that car and it shows. Good work, Brandon!

My engine was not previously rebuilt. Car was stock also; no mods. After taking it apart, sending the block out, getting it mag'ed, milled, weeks after I got it back, I seen the crack. The crack happened from Toyota's original build, not a previous build. Just as ALL of our 7M blocks have...

MKIII N00b, I chose to say my "Hi there" to you in a PM instead since this thread went off topic and now belongs in the mod forum really. LOL See you out there.

Did you use a hammer & hit it in various places like I stated in one of my posts? It won't come out easy at all. You need to bang at it. I have disassembled two of those CT-26 turbos from their exhaust housings. Others say to use a heat gun--never did it that way. And yes, it is better...

I guess these threads escaped your “5 years of interwebbing.” There may be more. http://supraforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=157588 http://supraforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=227720 http://supraforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=270372 http://supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?t=613...

Special Tool Needed For Disassembly And Rebuilding Special tools you may need are as follows: VISE: Needed to hold down the turbine shaft while disassemble the compressor nut and to torque it back on. Bought mine at WalMart for $10 USD. SNAP RING PLIERS: You need this tool for the big...

heheh Of course it won’t work. I never said (or should I say meant) to do that in the first place. Give me more credit that assume that I meant you should tighten it until the assembly won’t move and then just leave it like that. Here is what I meant as follows: See, I was thinking of it...

That sounds too confusing for me--hoping it would go in the right way. Many don't seem to get it right. My OCD won't let me do it that way. I thought I would do it with the cover off & make sure things lined up the way they are supposed to be, then put the cover on. Later, I found that...

There are a couple reasons why I am resurrecting this thread. One is because some people & I believe that cracks are a common occurrence with 7M blocks. Another is because there is not enough information on how to deal with these cracks and we do need more info about this “problem” and the...

vanman, I can't answer all those questions. At 180,000 miles, if they have never been changed, you probably do need dampeners. Anyways, this post belongs in General Discussions. That is where we ask questions of this kind. MK3 Supra Information/Reference is for write-ups on FAQs or...
