Waiting, waiting, waiting! Marlin crawler still hasn't shipped the shift fork or thrust washer, the head is still being worked on, and everything else kinda hinges on those 2 things! I have started to proces of getting a 3.5" driveshaft to prepare for the 4.3 rear end install that will...

I modded mine to change its operational characteristics to combat that condition. Its not [AFM/vent to atmosphere] friendly, but if you re-route it or run speed-density its great! I think I'll do a write-up on it- it wasn't that hard to do.

2-step is nice for getting consistant with your launches- since it determines what RPM the engine will be at- all you have to do is let the clutch out the same (or similar) every time. Its not explicitly for building boost (that's getting into anti-lag kind-of setups, which is what I use) You...

Not always, its how you launch. I could dump the clutch at redline with the drags (26x10.5x15 ET streets, heated) and burn through 1st gear, but if I slipped the clutch from 5000 it launched much better and cut a half-second off the ET. If you go 28x12x15/16 full slick then maybe- but they are...

The slipping is to keep the momentum in the drivetrain going and also deliver a smoother launch to keep traction vs dumping the clutch. Dumnping the clutch may bog the engine and you lose all that boost you built up. As with everything, this is very much open to interpretation- and I am by no...

More like impossible to answer/help out. Pics are 100% required for anyone to help you. Detailed pics of your stock downpipe, as well as the new one will be needed. or in another way :ttiwwp:

Kills noise in the entire electrical system. By default it cleans up the supply voltage to the radio to help reduce the alternator whine.

o.O I thought you were referring to 12point vs 6 point...thats really odd. I can honestly say I've never seen that...ever. Good thing you're ditching them for better hardware!

the 10 is a 10mm hex, and the 12 is a 12mm hex- should be self-explanitory... Toyota really only uses 2 sizes of head bolts- 8mm bi-hex on E-series and NZ-series engines, and 10mm bi-hex on MZ, VZ, JZ, etc engines. Can't remember what my stock 7M bolts were, iirc they were 10mm hex/bi-hex

Triple square= German cars Bi-Hexagonal= Japanese cars They are not the same, don't try to use them interchangably, it will not end well. Triple square: Bi-hex

He replaced a longblock, not a used engine. A longblock includes block, crank, pistons, rods, bearings, head, head gasket, valves, cams, (sometimes valve covers and timing covers, not often, though) The 7M looks the same whether turbo or NA from the outside (aside from a couple differences) but...

In the ARZ kit, they're not 1 piece rotors, Andy builds the hat for them and buys willwood rotors to bolt onto them. I have no idea about the ebay version, although I highly disapprove of the drilled rotors :( Looking more closely, the ebay kit uses smaller rotors as well- 12.76" x 1.18" vs...

First thing's first, we need to find out when people are available to come to this shindig! Here's some events I know of that will conflict for my attendance: MAP Proving grounds is June 23-24 Powercruise is July 13-15

My latest set of Clevites had been made by NDC, my last 2 sets of ACL's were NDC for the first set, ACL for the second.

I approve this meet idea, go ahead and start planning/getting dates worked up and we'll see where it goes! I'd suggest starting a poll in the Midwest section <--Clicky linky. PM myself or Boost Lee and we'll get the thread stickied for best viewing :D

Dan, you're not making it easy for me to keep up with you :(

All you have to do is follow the factory bearing sizing procedure in the repair manual. There's stamped numbers on the crank and block- comparing the numbers against the manual will tell you what size bearings you should need. Additionally, you need to triple check to make sure the cap surfaces...

If that's the case I'd say you'll have to pull the cams. Its not that hard, just be careful you don't tilt the cam in the head too badly- its possible to crack it/the head.

Strange, my BC272's and stockers don't have interference like that...I'd be very interested to find out exactly what those cams are!
