bear with me, as this will be my first rebuild.... i have a freshly rebuilt shortblock ready to go into the car. i'll be using all the parts from my running engine on it. the running motor was rebuilt not long ago, and has arp headbolts, and possibly an hks mhg. the question is..... can i...

glad you're ok. sucks about the car. when will people learn how to drive? cars like ours are very hard to replace, unlike the camry that caused this.

just buy a bic downpipe. you can go with a divorced one or a recirculated one. the divorced one will be much louder as it lets the wastegate vent to the air.

you could buy a good used stock turbo to get you by.

the block was decked with the timing cover before i got it. i'll have the head milled when i get it off, but how do i tell how much was taken off the block?

Thanks guys. This thing was supposed to rebuilt on a budget. I know i'll probably need to do a clutch and a bunch of other stuff, so i was hoping to save on some stuff. I'm going to definitely get the head milled so i can use a mhg, i just wasn't sure if the cams and valves would make a...

not to hijack the thread, but i'm in a similar boat. i'm looking for between 400 and 500hp. i have fresh rebuilt lower end with stock rods and pistons, and new toyota bearings and rings. i want to use an upgraded ct26 from albert, lex afm,560's. i already have a bicddp, and full 3'...

thanks... i have a freshly rebuilt shortblock. i'm just trying to save some time by not having to get any head work done. at this point, i'll probably have the head gone through. this way, i can use a mhg.

at what point does a mhg become necessary? i'm shooting for 400whp with my budget setup. i'm worried about having the head done to get a perfect surface for a mhg. can a stock hg with arp studs handle that?

someone should make copies of that group a side exhaust. i'd buy it.

yes please!

great build. good for you for not giving up on it. also, i love the color, and wheel choice.

cool. what do you think about having the pistons coated? i can get the dome and skirts done for about $40 each.

i just picked up a rebuilt shortblock from a member in long island. it has a balanced crank, new toyota bearings and rings on stock rods and pistons. everything looks good, but i had a couple questions. what's everyone's thoughts on having the stock pistons coated at swaintech? i don't...

looks good to me. lol. what are the offsets on your rears? i think mine are 17x10.5 +24.

those may not fit. i have 04 cobra wheels on my supra, and the rears are going to be tight if i lower it. to add to that, i think the ones in your pic have a more aggressive offset than mine. here's a pic for reference.

wow! that's very nice.

black or gunmetal on a black car.

adding oil had nothing to do with the coolant. you could have had an air pocket in the cooling system, but that wouldn't explain the hissing sound.

i don't feel so bad about my car only going 14.2 @ 99. 10psi, and only a 3"ddp.
