    You dont want to touch the head, if anything you can polish the inside of the exhaust ports but dont remove any material. IMO its not really worth it because after the first start up they will be covered in carbon anyway. As for the manifold. you can smooth out the excess material where the...

    Bluechulappa's 89Turbo restoration

    Ya thats pretty normal, if you would have shimmed the second relief valve you would have 20+ at idle. As for the fuel cut, check all connections and if you cant find it make a plug with a hook up for a compressor and pressurize the system and listen for leaks. Its possible your system is just...

    treadstone performance manifold?

    The supra one they make isnt a log manifold, he was refering to the E36 model, and they dont flow well at all. Shaeff, Ill have to pm you about turboing your E36 I have another buddy who is considering it himself, without buying a whole kit.

    Bluechulappa's 89Turbo restoration

    Thats a little on the low side, but then again the stock gauge isnt exactly a precision instrument. How many washers did you shim the pump with?

    Rx7 injector compatability

    I havent used them but I have allways heard they are actually better than RCs, PTEs ect. I would get them cleaned and flowed before using them if you pick up a used set. Denso makes really high quality injectors.

    I guess Ill be the first to say it... Good Luck! I dont know about now measuring anything but when I get around to building an autocross car Ill probably do this with the motor in it. See what it will handle with out blowing up while building a "real motor" for it

    16 is great for me, I don't see any reason to change the location either, saves a lot of hassle as most people who show up have been out in the past and know where it is

    Machine just the timing cover?

    Not looking good, those pits look pretty deep as well. You could take a look at your other crank, have you ever had water in your oil?

    Ic piping setup hate or love

    I would think that first hard 90 would impose as much of a restriction as the extra 1 & 1/2 feet of piping with a few more but milder bends. The second bend that drops down to the IC looks sharp as well, and I can imagine the sweep to the IC inlet is also a pretty tight radius. I know one hard...
