I wouldn't do it, it should be a little more reliable un-clipped.

I recommend using the stock 190 t-stat. If you have a well taken car of coolants system with all hoses in good shape, clean, full flowing radiator, freshly rebuilt fan clutch, and a good water pump, you will have nothing to worry about. If there was a problem with the stock cooling system...

Boost coming on line at 6500 RPM's... "Hello? Where's the boost? I'm bumping the rev limiter and it's still not there.... Hello?.....Man, this car's slower than shit" :3d_frown: Even the top dogs around here aren't using a turbo that large dude. Find yourself something smaller, something...

Wasted money, not meant to be used on turbo cars, not suppost to gap them...

Coolant in oil, oil in coolant, it will happen either/both ways if the engine actually has BHG.

You've just about got it covered ;). Pretty much what's left is in the rear end. I'd get Supra Sport traction arms as they are the beefiest offered (if you break or bend one of those, you are doing something extremely wrong!) and then I'd top off the rest of the rear end with all A-1 hardware...

^Good luck with that...

For the sake of not scoring up the block and head by accident by VERY carful with that gasket scraper, use a gasket removal spray and something like a hard, plastic squeegy thingy ;).

Chicken hawk huh? :chicken:

I see 99 posts, thread failure...

Notice the OP states the MS-6 isn't stock?

Actually I do, I loved the curves of that car and the way it sounded too, best sounding car I've owned, too bad it wasn't reliable, not to mention slow (damn 420A :3d_frown:).

:ttiwwp:

I say spend your money elsewhere besides on a JDM engine as you can get a USDM for cheaper and you will still have to do the same shit to to make sure that it is reliable ;). But then again, the OP has done this already (smart fella).

CLEAN the engine out on top of those other things. Replace the water pump too, check for stress in the bottom end, shim the valves up top, free port and polish if you already have the materials to do it with... Things like that ;).

12mm tap with 1.25 threads, they can be a little hard to find. I had to special order mine from O-reiley's.

Newer Celica seats are pretty nice too, there is at least one person on here with them in their Supra and they look great. May be less fabbing involved in those to make them fit since they are Toyota, but not really sure.

The better option is to get those little metal clamps that take needle nose pliers to get off, but they can be tricky to find if your local hardware places don't have any.

Get it polished first, then go from there. If you decide you don't want to use it, keep it anyways in case the others aren't in as good of shape as this one is.

Car looks great without a spoiler, and very few do ;).
