do not turn a a flywheel on a brake lathe... the grooves need to be cut opposite of the direction of travel. not with it. also, if it has heat cracks, i would reccommend replacing it.

id suggest draining the fuel tank and refilling it with new gas. gas has a tendency to separate over a long time. also, check that all your fluids are full. also, unplug the coil connector and prime the engine of oil by engagin the starter for about 3 times 5-10 seconds each. after that, plug it...

that definitely detonation, same thing i saw on my old car when i turboed it. lemme guess, cylinder 6? on my supra the piston only on #6 looks like that, im guessing thats from the hot spot created by the egr and no coolant passages.

already looked into it... and sadly the answer is no. the mr2 and alltrac use the map sensor reading to put in fuel cut when a certain level of boost (manifold pressure) is reached. on the supra, the computer is programmed to shut off fuel when a certain frequency is reported from the afm...

on mine, i had the pan off, i stuck a 3/8" drive extension in one fo the crank's holes that was drilled to balance it, and then used that touching up against the block plus a 2 foot breaker bar and a sledgehammer to break it. what a bitch. if it was in the car, put a breaker bar on the...

what i always do when that happens is try and get a small piece of wire and push it thru somehow. maybe you can use the motor to feed thru some more if its stuck way up the liner. also, im guessing thats the ct26 flange? where did you pick that up?

i love when it gets hot in vegas, most of the ladies start wearing bikinis and cutoff shorts :)

a resistor is supposed to be hot, hence the huge heatsink on it. but if it gets too hot it will fry itself, and wont work.id check the voltage on both sides of it. one should be 12v (car off) and maybe around 14v with car running if you have a good alternator, and on the other side should be 9v...

As a successful blonde businesswoman was driving her new Porsche thru the countryside one day, she stopped when she saw another blonde in the middle of a cornfield, in a rowboat, paddling away. She got out of the car and yelled "Hey stupid! What the hell are you doing? Ya know, its dumb blondes...

the ct-26 and ct-27 compressor wheels are both smaller than the supras ct-26.

ester wouldnt swell the seals, because they are not rubber seals. the seals blow due to excessive wear (insufficient lubricationm, or running really high boost on a turbo that cant handle it)

this is pretty funny http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TijvTiLi-qk i lol'd cuz i used to be a restaraunt manager for mickey-d's for 4 yrs.

as far as i know about the way that fuel cut is calculated, the rpm wire would be essential for the fcd to function. fc is calc'd by airflow thru the afm at certain different rpms. each rpm has its limits. it isnt calculated by boost, so thats why i can hit 12psi and as the rpms go up it...

i have had mine blocked off with rubber vacuum nipples since i got the car. no problems at all

the only reason to rebore is if there is damage to the finish on the cylinder walls. if you have a cylinder gauge, have you checked the bore at several different angles? and also at 1" increments going from top to bottom? if they are in good condition, you only need to hone(de-glaze) to get a...

i am in the middle of making something very similar, but i had never seen those honda pcs valves before... ima change to those i think :)

that actually sounds tempting... i had a bitch of a time getting that bolt loose the last time i pulled my motor. lol @ nash, you mentioned everything i have ever done :) my worst was being in a rush putting my newly machined head back together and not realizing that i forgot to buy valve...

mine does the same thing, even when full. only on HARD turns tho...

thats the kind of funny ass joke i havent heard in a while. you made me smile, thanks!
