    dugums build - need a ton of help!!!

    That's great - I hadn't found those posts. I'm going to stick with my choice of HG, and hopefully <<fingers crossed>> everything will be OK. Again power goal for the build is ~325 whp.

    Page templates built - just need some content guys! I'll start basic and try to take pictures of the stock radiator, since I have it out of the car. I'll try to get a write up on the rad, shroud and aux fans up, so we have a sample of the links etc. Hopefully I can post this tomorrow, but...

    dugums build - need a ton of help!!!

    I'd like to be smart about the modifications I do. I don't want to miss an opportunity (i.e. if there is something the machinist could/should do while he has it). My goal for this is to get it in the vicinity of 300 rwhp. My other Supras were built and tuned - one had about 330 rwhp (and...

    dugums build - need a ton of help!!!

    That particular thread was one of the main reasons for selecting the composite HG. My power goals are modest. Furthermore, I plan on tuning, so it should be running rather well. We'll see if there are any other new opinions on this. Otherwise, I think I am going to stick to my plan...

    dugums build - need a ton of help!!!

    From what I've read, it seems like I would be taking a bigger risk with a MHG on an unmachined (even if otherwise fine) block, than with a stocker. As soon as I think I have something figured out, another kink, lol.

    dugums build - need a ton of help!!!

    Alright then, this is what I thought I had settled before, lol. My understanding is as follows: 1. To do a MHG PROPERLY both head and block need to be machined. In order to machine the block the motor must be removed. 2. To do a composite (factory) HG properly the head should be...

    Well, I will be bringing it to him as soon as I decide/buy the springs. Either way, I guess I'll have to take care of it, if it's not right...

    Didn't you suggest a MHG? Won't the motor need to be pulled for that?

    dugums build - need a ton of help!!!

    Well, knock on wood - it would really suck to do all this work just to mess it up... Anyway, the previous owner didn't know much about much. The boost controller appears to have two settings - one at 6psi, and one at 12 psi. As soon as I can finish up the HG job, I will be removing the...

    dugums build - need a ton of help!!!

    I chose to go with a composite headgasket for a number of reasons: 1. Both of my previous Supras had properly torqued factory HG and were built to moderate power. One of them is still a local car and has been running 330 rwhp since 1998 without need for a rebuild. 2. I don't have...

    That's what I was figuring, I figured I should ask since I don't know anything about the felpro. Guess I'll have a felpro for sale soon...

    I am not looking to go extreme, so by your description, it sounds like a good setup for me. As far as being able to align the car, what are the issues if my adjustment points don't move? Is this fixable? My buddy owns an alignment shop, so he does all of my alignments for me. What type of...

    dugums build - need a ton of help!!!

    Alright, had a quick question today - I bought a Toyota Head Gasket set, but the previous owner also gave me a new Felpro HG. Is there any appreciable difference between the two? Just want to know which one I should use! Thanks!
