That would be impossible, and dangerous if it were possible. You are going to have to somehow lock the crank from turning and torque the bolt to specs with a quality torque wrench. I have a manual transmission, so I put it in 5th and have a friend hold the brakes while I torque it. It is...

So air density does not affect the power output of a forced induction engine as long as the turbo/supercharger can flow enough to achieve the same pressure?

pull the EFI fuse from the fuse block. Set the breaker bar on the floor or on the top of the frame rail (engine turns clockwise). And just flick the key, you just want to tap the starter rather than crank it, it wont take much to break the bolt loose.

Oil level is much below the seal when the engine isn't running, it wont leak any oil when you pull the seal.

Make sure the wires are all plugged in 100% and are contacting properly. Since 2/5 plugs are in series, any break or short in the connections for either of those plugs will cause neither cylinder to fire. Have you confirmed that the 2/5 coilpack is getting power at the coilpack connector?

Are your plug gaps set correctly? Try inspecting the plugs and swapping their position/trying a different set you may have.

I think I see what you are asking. Oil always enters the filter on the outside and exits from the inside. So to answer your question, the little hole around the outside is the feed from the pump, and the big threaded hole in the middle feeds filtered oil to the main oil gallery.

The fitting coming off the housing is the feed, and the bolt that screws into the oil pan is the return.

My new ATI Damper. Notice the coating isn't 100%, bought it as a "blemished" unit for half price.

No need to argue about the specifics guys, or this will end up like one of the other threads where someone gets mad and a mod closes it. Going back to the original question... Cant forget what you never learned :icon_razz Really interested in the specifics, especially considering the...

No I haven't looked at the actual coolant temp in a long time. I used to have a water temp gauge in the car but removed it because it just made me worry too much lol. I have a temp gun, I will shoot it at the thermostat housing next time I get a chance to pop the hood when it is running hot.

Brad I just rebuilt the engine and installed an oil filter relocation, I am using an NA block so ditched the pressure based cooler until I can muster the funds for a full flow system, which will be installed soon but not before the summer is over most likely. IJ the condenser is a brand new...

Interesting stuff, thanks! IJ, Ive seen the pics of your pump, looks nice, but the only way I would be able to fit that in there is if I redesigned my intercooler system as mine is set up like stock with the charge pipe passing right where your booster pump sat. What RPM ranges is the stock...

Just thought I would bring this back. My Supra has always had this problem in the dead of summer (110 degree+ ambient temps). When cruising on the freeway for long periods of time (roughly 65 to 70mph, 3000 to 3500rpm) with the AC on the stock gauge starts to creep up. Never seems to go past the...

Boy this thread just keeps getting better.

Have you checked your ignition timing? Your post is still a little unclear about when it actually overheats. In its current state, when does it overheat? On the highway, around town, or just after exiting the highway and idling? Are all the shrouds/engine under covers in place?

Are those the GF210's? How do you like them? I debated buying those springs with either Tokico or GR2 struts before going with coilovers.

I think the idea was that if the gap is in the 3 oclock position inertia at high piston speeds (when the piston changes direction) could cause the clip to compress and potentially come out, but ya seems extremely unlikely.

Just did these on my Wisecos, my fingers were sore afterward. Not sure if there is any truth behind this or not, but I saw a few people recommending that the gap either be at 12 o clock or 6 o clock to reduce the chance of inertia popping them out. Seems far fetched but maybe IJ could shed some...
