Here's a thought- if you think the converter isn't spinning true, is it a possibility for you to use a bolt that has a taper on the shank to center the converter that way? It runs off of the assumption that the flexplate and its holes are actually true, but it removes the pilot bearing/bushing...

:bigthumb: Nice work, Brandon! Looks a bunch like my first dyno in the Supra, but you're 5lbs less than I was!

Happy with my 4094 so far ;) Puller the engine out last night and will start teardown tonight to see if anything else is damaged or needing attention.

Spec is advertized as being designed and made in the US if that's what you're after.

Rocketship air filter FTW!

4/5 isn't bad, but the fact it sheared off when you hit a pothole tells me all the lugs underwent the same strain- makes me nervous about another having been damaged and waiting to let go. In other news, I have a set of 10 new stock studs at my place- if you give me warning we could even...

Oh, I always though it was a fluid type. Oh well!

It is, just ordered a couple nights ago. Pretty sure they're fluid dampers... http://www.sipracingmailorder.com/servlet/the-283/ATI-Crank-damper-pulley/Detail

Oh wells! I can deal.

She's fine! Just a bit disappointed it broke.

Even V will agree, the suspension and brakes were some of the best upgrades done last winter! Thanks for the tips, Ian! Kinda wish I had gotten swaybars, but that will come in time as well!

I re-torqued my studs 2 times-first after 6/7 heat cycles, then about a year later (~1000 miles). My engine went 3000 miles without issue, but it got hot when I was driving on the track for Powercruise and I suspect that's when they initially started to get loose.

That looks amazingly similar to my head/block! Guess what mine did- I lifted my head on the exhaust side. All 6 cyls leaking pressure to coolant and to each other. My cause was head studs that were not tight (likely from the head getting hot) but yours might be different? Did you check the head...

Yeah, about that

Update! Well maybe not, just a list of stuff I've bought for the car :p ATI crankshaft damper 2mm Stopper All the other gaskets ARP Main studs Silicone oil for the fan clutch rebuild Seriously considering going for for +1 SS valves, dual springs, and the extra porting!

No worries, Dan. Cars break/wear out- all you can do is rebuild and upgrade what you can! Looks like I'll be going the same route as you with the bumped up compression. Just ordered an ATI for myself too! I kinda like the black engine bay personally- makes a bit of contrast to the body but its...

More info needed! 1- Engine 2- Cam brand 3- expected peak RPM The retainers are lighter than stock ones to help keep the weight down in the valvetrain.

I've been told that wastegates should not see vacuum. I'm not sure on the reasoning, but until I find definitive evidence otherwise I'm sticking to that.

CAR DYNO RESULTS Is it your car? Are you the car? Do you live at FSR? How does Mobil 1 taste? Is it true that cars like MT90 gear lube? What color is your paint? I bet you like having cloth interior. How do cars post up on the interwebs? You must be very advanced to have an internt connection...

Nothing crazy, just strapped the pumps to the hanger and aligned the pickup socks to not hit the basket too much. It was a VERY tight fit. Didn't get rid of the basket, rather I drill out the feeding hole in the basket to about ~14mm to make sure there would not be a flow issue. You want it...
