Thanks. The up close polished shot is after I was done for the day and I put some Mothers polishing compound on it.

This worked really well to clean all the holes on my block. Soaked the holes with engine degrease overnight and then used this the next days and it was good to go. I cleaned all of them and I could of screwed all of the studs down by hand. A level on them helped to show they were equal. You...

I put on a few things today. I didn't get to put the intake and turbo setup on this week but I finished putting on the valve cover PVC center hose new coil packs and engine mounts. I will install my turbo and intake next weekend. I also have to call Aaron and ask about the oil filter...

I finally got my HKS Exhaust cam in and did the install on the motor. We installed the cams, full timing service, valve covers and a few other parts you can spot in the pictures. The center hose for the 1JZ valve covers is what I am missing and I will get it tomorrow and throw on the coil...

Some owners will never understand why electric fans are not worth it if they are not an OEM design. Also, an electric fan can go anytime but a fan clutch will go slowly which you can pick up on a routine check up of your car at your oil changes.

Tell them to check the mains, if it is horribly out of round, then align bore it. I only have done a line bore once, a H22 block. It spun the main bearing and it was overheated badly that it bent the crankshaft by a few thousands. We had the crank cut and balanced. When we went to put the...

That would normally mean the 1JZ and 2JZ really wouldn't need it since those bottoms ends are built on the same design and they tend to hold their tolerances very well.

Ian, most people say that using ARP mains require line boring. Is that true? I also don't believe that ARP will warp a block by .007 thous.

I know that is what the standard should be, 88C. The TSRM says the cooling system should be at 190F, so that is correct but I ran the 82C thermostat with no problems and it was not going in and out of cold start settings as my AFR's stayed at 14.2-14.5 at idle while at operating temperature...

What do they sell then? I ordered a thermostat along with a few other things from Champion and I got an 82C thermostat. Called them up and the part number I got matches what is in their computer. If you are going to say "wrong," you should not post at all if you won't fully explain yourself.

Go get a new fan clutch, put your old blade on it, buy a Koyo Aluminum radiator, a new radiator cap and replace your old thermostat with a one from Toyota or Stant, 82C is what Toyota sell. Your cooling system will be happy and reliable. Silicone hoses is a good investment as well...

Your car has come a long way from sitting in a junkyard to what it is now. Good job on giving this MKIII a good restoration. Last time I was in this thread was when your dad got the SC, been a while but keep up the good work.

No, it needs no reflash. You select the load type, AFM or MAP.

I will do the 1ZZ kit as soon as I get my standalone...

That is where I got mine.

I always buy the GTE pump, never the GE pump. I do believe they are the same but I am not sure if one has the crank sensor hole or not. I never seen a GE one. I can tell you all the parts for a 1.5JZ easily because it is honestly common sense but I have no clue on the GE and GTE pumps. I...

Good Job, Good Job. Your engine will be happy.

AEM V2's are really nice. The first version is decent but the second one is great.
