    oil catch can install

    1st rule: The crankcase is pressurized due to blowby. 2nd rule: Air pressure (or vacuum) will follow the path of least resistance...keep this in mind. On the stock system, it's the TB (intake manifold) that provides vac...this covers over 90% of operating conditions. Under boost...

    ARP Studs...

    here's what I based it on: Your sheet shows a higher psi tensile strength (explains the higher torque) and no provision to use motor oil as lube. The version I posted was the last revision (2nd rev actually) I am aware of...when did you get yours? If it's recent, my apologies...most the...

    oil catch can install

    The routing is correct. The PCV (check) valve needs to be in the line from the T to the turbo intake air pipe (accordion hose), orientated so it only allows flow to the intake pipe. That will allow any boost pressure from the TB orifice to flow to the intake and will put max vac on the catch...

    low oil pressure

    That's what I was thinking too...making a point that the unit of measure is kinda important ;)

    ARP Studs...

    Where did you get that torq spec for ARP studs? It's wrong...don't post "I heard specs" again.

    searching craigslist everyday pays off

    Since when is a Craigslist ad a technical subject concerning the 7M-GTE motor? Thread moved. EwGoetsch - Pay attention to where you post.

    Check Engine Light Error Code 1-1 HELP

    ^^^ The ECU grounds I spoke of ;)

    low oil pressure

    I hope you left a zero out on those measurements...considering rod clearance range is 0.0012"-0.0019" (that's ten thou), I doubt the motor would even run with the clearances you posted (at least for very long). Maybe you should check again? It's doubtful the metal particles on the...

    Progressive Power Steering or Alternative? - need to replace rack

    You "think" correctly ;) Why not point the guy here: http://www.cygnusx1.net/supra/Library/TSRM/MK3/manual.aspx?Section=SR&P=90 Vs playing the guessing game. It is time you stopped guessing period in the Tech sections.

    Check Engine Light Error Code 1-1 HELP

    Code 11 masks all other codes when it's present. First thing I would check is the ECU grounds at the intake manifold...remove the bolt and clean. After that, clear codes by pulling the EFI fuse. Drive and recheck codes again. Exactly how did you "get it to idle right"?

    Automatic or Manual?

    LOL...Want to back that one up? I'd like to hear it, especially the part about never dropping boost during the shifts. IJ had a TKO in then swapped it to an A340E. Keeping the auto on his current V8 build. I guess all the high end super cars that use an auto are not considered a...

    low oil pressure

    The washers have to fit under the valve bolt...5mm (+/-) is the thickness...you'll need several.

    low oil pressure

    While you have the pump out, shim the relief valve with washers...about 5mm thickness worth.

    Automatic or Manual?

    NP applying power in a turn with my auto ;)

    Things are looking good...

    Ummmm...the housing makes a HUGE difference. Compare maps for a small turbo (like the CT26) and a T04 with approx the same size wheel. I think you'll find a smaller turbo plots out to the right and will choke flow.

    Automatic or Manual?

    +1 Auto any day...much more behaved IMO.

    Caught fire today

    You cleaned the TB orifice before you put it on? Oil that far up in the IC piping on a fresh rebuild is not normal...unless you IC was not cleaned out (like I said) and your pumping it through the piping under boost.

    Caught fire today

    One reason is a PCV system that's not working properly...specifically, the TB orifice is blocked. You might want to remove the IC and wash it out...I'll bet it's loaded with oil. Take a look at the coolant lines to the turbo for any damage. BTW - you're lucky ;)
