Are you sure you aren't hearing a boost leak? The turbo mounting hardware often works its way loose. Check your exh manifold studs. Don't overtighten those, but make sure they're tight to spec. If that's negative, have you checked for shaft play? Are there any signs of the blades hitting the...

That's very driver dependent. My boy Justin (87T i/e/bc/60-1 trim) whopped an (alleged 400 awhp) STi three times, once from the hole, and twice from a 40 and 60 mph roll.

Sir, your car is simply amazing! Much 7m lov. And congrats on the win. And like they said, pics of the spoils of war, or ban.

I say sell it here in SM (take some good pics), and get yourself the mustang.

Thank you guys for the help. The bolt is 0.859 inch all the way. Now, the hole is 1.2 inch diameter right at the top, and 0.958 farther in (as far in as i could get with my vernier caliper). I doubt Toyota would have done a hole like this. I'll call both the racing shop who rebuilt my head...

Not a dumb question. I called Toyota and verified the bolt number, they match. It has to be that someone made the hole bigger and threaded it. I don't know why they would do something like that. I get disgusted about it and the motor sits on the stand, because once i mate it to the tranny, it's...

Thanks, Grim. I measured like you suggested, and although I can't find where i scribbled the numbers (I'm sure they'll turn up tomorrow), the bolt diameter is about 80% of the hole size. So it seems that either someone might have made the hole bigger, for w/e reason, or Toyota gave me a 20%...

Hey does anyone know why the bango fitting for the heater core on the back of the head is not the same size as the hole in the head itself????? I have a brand new fitting from toyota. The hole in the head is alot bigger then the diameter of the banjo bolt. It looks like there needs to be a...

I'm in the process of putting my motor together and my pal Justin and i installed the head onto the arp headstuds. This was done with the motor out of the car. The studs were screwed finger tight into the block (lubbing with engine oil). Then we laid the MHG on top, installed the lubbed arp...

^^That's right.^^ I was doing that last night while putting my motor back together and decided to check the TSRM, but it doesn't say anything about using any sealant on the valve cover gaskets. So i'm not putting any. I am using new grommets, seals and stainless steel (hex) bolts, which may keep...

AFIK, most had a raw aluminum finish, some were polished, and some were chromed. Mine are chromed, which i don't like. So i took them to a wheel repair shop, and they said to refinish them, the chrome had to be stripped off, and they would powdercoat any color I wanted, for $400 for all four. IHTH.

California: :tdo3:

Take it to a turbo service shop and have them test it. Otherwise I would not put it on and risk the thing coming appart on boost, taking out your entire motor.

Depends on the driver, environment and track conditions. How much/little wheel spin you get, tire inflation, how well you shift, engine and turbo condition, boost level, and who knows what else. Film it and tell us.

Welcome to the forum. Read all you can about the car, it will save you lots of headaches. And post pics of the ride.

Here are mine: Weber WG60 grand piano, Roland Fantom X8. Been playing the piano since i was like 9 years old, and even though i don't care to give a concert, i don't quite suck. Have played in public many times, many weddings and church almost every other week. The Roland X8 is an awesome...

Damn!!! LOL!

Mine likes for me to have my Supras. With her full support, I currently own three Turbos: one is basically perfect, the other one is slowly getting there (I'm a bit lazy...), and the third one is tucked away in storage until i can turn my attention to it. I guess I'm lucky that way. Of course, I...

I agree. Electric fans have their supporters, I'm not one of them.
