You may spin up quicker, but you'll slow down quicker too, with less momentum in the drivetrain

It is if you get a MAFT-Pro and go speed/density... But running open turbo is stupid, you want a filter on there

Picked up my front plate today, time to start ordering parts! First items ordered are bigaarons exhaust stud upgrade kit, and i have a 2 gauge lotek pillar pod on the way! The cylinder head is on the very bottom of the limit as far as the valve shim clearances go, my machinist told me not to...

I think he means the reverse situation you just described, running the laptop regardless of the broken screen, and run the vga output to the liliput as the display! I definitely plan on doing this, once my rebuild is done!

These guys already covered it man if i were you i'd ditch the FCD, and to prevent detonation: larger fuel pump, and injectors, also wideband for obvious reasons, and maft pro!

Ive only done a stock rebuild, but oversized valves and stage 3 port and polish sounds good to me!

I'm sitting here drooling on my keyboard, looking at my bare block and other parts, wishing it was that close to being started! I'd love to see that beast run!

Beating on the motor makes perfect sense to me, but what about the first time you start it up, and it's still cold, and possibly not running 100%? Is it ok to shut off and fix problems, then try again? Or in the case of it running fine, do you idle until it warms up? or do you start driving on it?

Thanks :) So i noticed all my paint pen markings are obviously gone, other than the pin being in each cylinder, none of the pistons, or rods are numbered. Everything was mic'd & balanced, and the bores were all honed, so it shouldn't matter anymore, right? So .008 was taken off the head, and...

Me too! But it'll honestly be a while, still need to work my ass off for money for bearings, rings, headgasket (cometic), headstuds, etc etc My machinist did a great job (in my amateur opinion), but he forgot to deck the block with the front cover attached, he measured the difference and is...

A couple more pictures... Forgot to add this was balanced with ARP hardware (mains & rods)

Finally!!! New parts!!! My machinists work: Magniflux rods, magnetic particle inspect crank, check and polish crank, Degrease (hot tank) and inspect block, magnetic particle inspect block, recondition the rods, remove ridge & hone, align hone block, balance everything, and surface the block...

Damn, that is Hot! Looks spectacular! Do you ever take her to the strip around here? I'd love to see her in the flesh when it's running!

Looks like they do take international orders, but the price is rediculous, for that price it should be a piggyback like the maft pro as well

Yeah, except, wheres the alternator? lol

Those are some fugly rims! Nice car though (of course it's nice, it's a clean supra!) Haha sl1deways beat me to 'complimenting' the rims lol

I don't think there are, that guy probably just chose one based on size, and custom fabbed mounts, etc

Its a wiseunit, just take the video out of the url and you can check it out Appears to be a euro only thing

Looks great! What kind of paint did you use?

And a couple of new parts pictures, even though this cylinder head was sent back for a refund due to being milled down too far, and i'm not using the headgasket or any of the paper gaskets in that set lol Once i pick up my block and head on monday from my machinist, i'll show pics of my fully...
