Doug and Guy did very good work to my engine, but I would suggest staying with a regular head gasket setup, my cometic 2mm is holding up very nicely so far. Also expect a $5k bill for them to completely build your engine, and more if they assemble it. The machine work was very high quality...

The machine shop I used did the cleanout. I tend to believe them since they had to weld onto the gallery plug (ball bearing style buried in the head) or the head to clean out the passages. If they did that to clean the head, I would suspect they would do the same for the crank and block. That's...

If you are going to throw that leaky BOV away, I'd love to get it from you- I might be able to splice mine and yours together to make mine work properly. I agree about the hard/impossible to find rebuild kits. I had to reinvent the wheel just to make mine operate as-is!

Rods: 1- .0017 2- .0019 3- .0019 4- .0020 <--damaged one 5- .0015 6- .0016 Specs from Toyota are .0006-.0021 All the other rods and mains are ok, just #4 took damage. They were all at the upper range of spec, but well below the max acceptable number (forget what that was, no tsrm handy...

Yup, found the problem. #4 rod bearing seems to have taken a little damage. The crank is untouched thanks to the dry film lubricant, but it's getting a whole new set of rod bearings. Not sure what happened, whether it be oil starvation, knock, or other. In other news, I added a bit of shim...

The main spot that I've been going to is Porky's in Minneapolis. It's on University right near 280. I have a group of friends that goes there every weekend that I've been tagging along with lately. There are cars of every make and model that go there. You usually get 2-3 smokeshows, a rare...

After much work and aggressive porting, I have my boost under control! I had to chop out a section of the exhaust housing to open up flow through the wastegate but it's finally down on boost pressure. I also adjusted the wastegate arm to be a bit tighter to hold it shut better, but I am down to...

You should hack into Sean's facebook (to get to mine) and see the vid that was taken. Kinda crappy quality, but gets the point across. I may upload it to youtube/somewhere else tonight.

Very nice!

Drew, you're going to love your car when its done. 350whp feels ridiculous right now and that's with a big laggy turbo. You run a 57 trim and you'll be more streetable than I am! I also have a name- its Steve...you should know that. lolerskates and roflcopters!

To setup the sequential injection follow this. Injector 4 pin 10C Injector 5 pin 11C Injector 6 pin 12C Then to set it up in AEM pro. Click "options" then "injectors" Injectors 1,2,3,7,8,9,10 should be set to "active" and "O2 feedback 1" and "primary" 4,5,6 should not have anything selected...

I'll try to find the diagram that I printed off, it helps greatly. It lists all the pins on the AEM and what they do/could do. Then it gives you a diagram of the connectors so you can re-wire everything as you see fit.

I think that you would love the sequential injection. You can idle big injectors down really nice and with that, you can run cleaner at idle and get that economy back.

Check out post #51 in my build thread- this helped out greatly when setting up the wiring. http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?104432-The-toyotanos-Supra-build&p=1424887&viewfull=1#post1424887 I'm not so sure that AEM will do an auto car, but I don't know. I would also suggest...

I have the boost under moderate control now, only running up to 15.5 psi and maintaining very rich AFR's for safety. Lot of timing is also pulled, again for safety. Raced a 350Z last night, far and away the best race I've been in! attempting to embed the video of this race, may/may not work...

Kenny- are you running the stock igniter? Before I did anything to my car I had read that the AEM (my EMS) had problems managing the multiplex ignition system, so I did away with it before firing up on AEM. Perhaps you're running into a less severe version of that? Just a thought. Anyways, I...

Mmm! Sequential injection does give mighty fine idle quality... Even with big injectors! I also suggest running a DH61 ignitor to get rid of the issues that the stock multiplex igniter causes. You can get them from VVTI 2JZ-GE engines (98 supra N/A, IS300, and GS300 all with VVTI). Might also...

Rodel- you may need to PM all involved peoples to 'remind' them that this can actually happen now. If somebody drops out I am willing to fill an empty space if needed. Jester- they don't have a price worked out yet, but the 89+ units were 200 for Carbon fiber and 125 for fiberglass, add $25 for...
