    Ebay turbo fail pictures requests.

    Maybe be more specific? Any and every turbo ever made is sold on ebay, which one did you need a pic of after failure?

    Need help choosing GM auto

    Yes, Coan is a great tranny. ATI is a great tranny also if set up correctly. Both companies have nearly the same set-ups if all the options are added in. I like the service at Coan a good bit better than ATI. ATI gave Duane and I the holy hell of a run around on getting his tranny built. But...

    Clutch time.... Multi disk clutchs

    Tilton if you can find a flywheel for the mk3. They used to make a full kit and I think you can still buy a clutch kit, but I know they quit making the needed flywheel some time ago.

    Need help choosing GM auto

    Coan makes a great tranny also, but is a bit more money than the ATI. Hard to beat the ATI converter they build for the supra. It is a custom unit similar to the Fuel/Blown converters that are made to handle several thosand HP. I can't wait for you to make a build thread as your 7m will be...

    Regrinds and Shims

    We use an underbucket "make up shim" all the time without problem. Use the stock shim on top, and add a make up shim under the bucket as well. Make the shim only as thick as need to make up the reduction in base circle. We usually make them about .010 smaller in diameter to avoid the curved edge...

    How do you fell about buying parts off Ebay for your MK3?

    As IJ said. There are loads and loads of genuine namebrand parts on ebay. Ebay does not make parts, it is only a sales website. Why does everyone always say "ebay parts" as if ebay made them. A cheap ass part can be purchased from 1000's of real car part websites also, not just ebay. I see...

    Pulled the radiator, fan, water pump, and pullies and noticed that someone in the past has messed with pulling the motor or the damper. Look at this dent in the air conditioner coil assembly behind the radiator. Got the turbo and many other items off. Will pull the motor and tranny soon.

    Machine deck with shortblock assembled?

    That is very good info there Jeff. No book I have here for bearing sizes ever mentioned different sizes for the mains. I am very surpized to hear about the bearing housing hole for the mains. I have never seen a block with markings on the main caps to indicate sizing like they did with the rods...

    Resurface limit on head?

    it is not how many times, it is how much in total has been removed. Measure the deck to journal height and compare it to stock.

    Just wanted to post what I found under the passenger seat when I removed it today. Look at all this junk, I can drop 100lbs just by removing all the spare change and critter nut stashes!

    P vs. H series bearings, which should I use?

    The worlds most powerful 7mgte uses Clevite "P" series (NDC) right out of the box and turns nearly 9800 rpms on them with nearly 1400hp. Tell your machinist the P series will work out ok. No one makes a H series or race series anymore that I am aware of.

    Damn Bryan!! I would like them, but I already scaled a set of eagle rods and spun the crank for the weight. I would still do your crank at my cost however. This short block will just be a temp. short block untill I have the time and money to build a proper one. So it is Eagle rods and probe...

    I didn't put any paint on your block! I would rather of used your block, at least it was late model block. I already have a tranny, but if you come accross those th400's you talked about, I would be happy to get them from you. I think I will be just using a new HKS gasket. I am not sure of...

    Has not been painted yet Andy. Paint party? It would be great for you to do this. I have everything needed to paint and prep the car as I used to paint cars. Painting maybe a little further on. I think red is going to be the color inside and out. When the time come, I will be sure to hit you up...
