If I get rid of the supra, and dont end up with another...its hard to say. I can see a 1JZ powered 1st gen celica in my driveway...if I had a driveway.

Well lets see how do I respond to those posts... first of all there is nothing sentimental left to this car for me. I was sorry the day I bought it. That feeling has hardly ever gone away. Ive put a shitload of money and time into this thing and it will be a shame not to take advantage of that...

didnt say I was, just looking at all options. Oh, and I know parting it out would bring more money in the long run. I just wondered if people found it to be worth it in the end. I guess it would depend on what the car would sell for whole. Anyone know what some of the better 7m Supras have been...

Those of you that had a lot invested and have been through the process what did you choose to do and how did it work out for you in the end? Lets say for example you had a reasonable condition 89T with a freshly rebuilt 400+hp 7M and some pretty nice supporting parts and it was all together...

I suggest pulling the tank to do a proper job. Its really not that hard (helps if you are starting with an almost empty tank to begin with). The hardest part for me the first time was getting the main feed line fitting to come apart. flare nut wrenches FTW!. Now that Ive had my tank out a couple...

Well said BG. I would only add that no matter even if you are running a sealed cell like an Optima you should put it in a box vented ONLY to the outside of the cabin, and that box needs to be FIRMLY secured. Bolts through the floor is NOT good enough. Either run a strap all the way around the...

4ga down the drivers side kick inside the black plastic "conduit" then up behind the rear side panel over the shock tower and back to the rear fender well and to a distribution block RCA's down the passenger side floor board low in the corver where the bottom meets the side then up under the...

I was told by PTE that PTE tests at 90% to get the lbs/minute figure. Anything beyond that is speculation.

Yeah it would save me money and Im pretty much on rags now with this build. However I think a set of shims are going to accidentally fall into my toolbox at the pick-a-part yard

Im still considering all options, but right now Im hating Houston enough to just give up on TX.

Thanks Aaron thats a nice offer but I was hoping to have my motor in before the weekend was over. If I end up putting this off and saving the install for later next week, I'll take ya up on that.

Nick, isnt that what a wideband and SAFC is for? Or an AFPR for that matter.

wow, what excellent responces. I was pretty sure just swapping shims was the only way but I just wanted to check first. If Champion turns out to be the only place locally to get them its 1.5 hours by bus (1 way) to get over to them. (Cities this big should be required by federal mandate to have...

Ok, so I got my cams in and go to check the valve lash clearence and they are all over the place. From 0.0 clearence to as much as .016. The odd thing to me is that with only a few exceptions they are too "tight". I tried to reason it out and figured it was because they were never set properly...

awe crap yes it does and I forget what they said it was. Off the top of my head I think 43lbs? isnt there an industry standard?

I called and talked to PTE directly to find out what the markings on the side of my injectors meant. The tech that I spoke with said that PTE tests their injectors at 90% duty cycle and they flow (in my case) between 50.5 lbs/min and 50.8 How that would be compared to other injectors that may...

Its a Brazilian knockoff (Master Power) of a Turbonetics T-58 with a .63 p trim turbine. Bench dynos at 465hp at 22 lbs, but I dont plan to run that much most of the time.

new teasers: Just for you FT! http://home.comcast.net/~kthaney/eod4a.jpg and for the rest of you bothering to look: http://home.comcast.net/~kthaney/eod4b.jpg

like I said before I got a water pump I can send. possibility: I got 5 Denso 550's (I bought these a while ago and discovered that one is cracked) They are the RX7 195500-1370's and if someone could find one more then we got 6. Im deep in my rebuild, but after Im done and running I will...

LOL, I almost just set it on there so I could say "LOOK!", but it needs to be re-polished so I went without it.
