    tightening torque of Pauter rod bolts

    Pauter recommends 50 ft/lbs using motor oil for lube...10 ft/lb increments side-to-side. FYI, these are ARP 2000 rod bolts. Measuring rod bolt stretch is much more accurate...for these bolts it's 0.0060" to 0.0065"

    Car starts and idles fine now but wont go past 3000rpm

    If you know you have code 52 (that needs to be fixed), you "pulled" ECU codes when you jumped the diagnostic terminal. Fix (replace) both cracked hoses and see what happens ;) BTW - "limp mode" is actually a poor name for two different things - fail safe mode or back-up mode...I wish...

    Car starts and idles fine now but wont go past 3000rpm

    What's the condition of the accordion (intake) hose? Have you pulled the ECU codes?

    7mgte AFm messed up,Can i use a Q45 afm instead???

    Not without some sort of MAFT translator...the 7M is a Karmen Vortex AFM, Nissan uses a MAF. The signals are not compatible.

    Stock AFM

    89supraa - the bottom line on this subject is twofold: 1) To get rid of anything on the motor you really, really need to know what it's purpose is and that is not always obvious (the EGR is a perfect example). "Clean up the engine bay" crusades is a sure fire way to make the car run like...

    Question about BOVs

    LOL...my ECU handles it pretty well actually...it's rare she stalls. Others are not so lucky ;)

    Question about BOVs

    Yep, that's what I thought it looked like. Unless you can get a replacement for the vent "horn", you can't recirculate that.

    Question about BOVs

    Post a pic of the Blitz...I don't think you can recirculate the Blitz BOVs though. FYI I run a HKS SSQV that vents to the atmosphere. The only time the engine stalls is going up an incline and let the gas full off.

    Coolant system flush

    Be careful with that stuff...wear rubber gloves handling it and don't get it on ya ;) I just took the Tstat housing off and flushed from there with the lower radiator hose disconnected. Flushed the radiator separately and hooked the hoses back up...left the Tstat out for now, but put the...

    MK3 in street racing bust

    This is indeed a repost. Not a whole lot to do with Supra's either. Moved & Closed.

    Dissassembly, and the words that followed after....

    It's called induction hardening ;) Did you run the motor out of oil? The real clue is what did the bearings look like?

    Upgrade Alternator !!!

    You have to get the one from an MR2 with electric driven power steering...it's 100 Amp. It's a direct fit, but the pulley needs to be swapped out.

    Bvsv

    Gaboon is correct...the FP needs positive pressure (~2 psi) in the tank to prevent cavitation. The check valve that makes that happen is in the charcoal canister...removing it is a bad idea. It's simple to get a JDM canister and install in the wheel well out of sight. The BVSV is not...

    Dissassembly, and the words that followed after....

    More important is how does the head cam saddles look? If it's bad, a line bore is required to fix it. Before going to that expense (or any other on a head), get it hardness tested.

    Oil Analysis - Post your VOA and UOA Here

    Donaldson makes a filter that is comparable, but I do not know of a reliable source...pretty sure Donaldson makes the EaO for Amsoil. The CM is an alternative, but has a pretty steep initial cost: http://www.cmfilters.com/spin-on.cfm#cross These filters do not have a bypass...they filter all...

    rebuilding 7M

    Terminology wise for the bearings, I have to disagree...look here: http://www.cygnusx1.net/supra/Library/TSRM/MK3/manual.aspx?S=EM&P=72 Toyota in fact does use standard size bearings...the last paragraph refers to the numbering system (0-5) used for bearings in the standard range. The...

    Oil Analysis - Post your VOA and UOA Here

    jza80 - The Amsoil EaO filter can easily. Probably the best at filtration as well...hold on to your wallet ;) With a longer OIC, there's a very good chance your wear metals will actually drop. Dumbo - Plus, your silicon level was over 3 times what jza80 had...that points straight at a...

    Coolant filter pics

    When I did the initial flush, I used tap water...including the oxalic acid flush. After the neutralization, I used 2-3 gal of distilled water. The 50/50 coolant was also with distilled water.
