Yeah, like Grandhavi said, you were describing classic bhg symptoms, and saying you didnt think it was bhg BECAUSE of those symptoms. Everyone simply said "it sounds like bhg". Meanwhile, all you had to do was go down to Autozone or wherever, and borrow(not buy) a block tester. But you didn't...

See post #138 http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?154373-Project-Git-er-done!-Stages-1-and-2.../page5 Bolt flange needs to be cut down to ~45mm.

Id be kinda surprised if it were to overheat from such a small oil cooler. And it is an upgraded rad as well. But you're right. I'll keep it as-is for now, and see if it needs an amendment once its running.

Yeah, if you are only looking for 300rwhp, then a Lex/550 setup/ mbc, and a freeflow exhaust(turbo elbow) is all you need to do to get there. You don't need a meth kit or MAFT pro, etc. keep it simple. Like Bogwon said, arp's are a good idea, but even a Felpro or toyota headgasket is reliable...

Aren't the tabs on that DM flywheel lockplate supposed to be bent in towards the bolts? Isnt that what keeps the bolts from loosening?

Hmm. I dunno... Ive got it right up flush to the rad, and im using stock shroud and fan, so the air should be effectively pulled through it. I didnt center it to the fan, either. I offset it so that it wouldnt be in the 'dead zone' at the center point of the fan's rotation. Perhaps the gap...

Looking sweet. Is your fuel line flexible braided all the way from the pump to the rail?

Yeah, I can't remember the Walbro being this small. I hope I don't have fitment issues with it.

Got the Aeromotive today, teeny. That is all.

agreed. if it's made to terminate at a logical, aesthetic point, and can be had in a matte(no-glare) finish, I might be in. PS- Would it extend all the way up to cover the defroster area? Mine's got cracks forming there.

JEEZ! Makes me want a Celica so bad. Especially that first one.

Welp, it looks like it won't suffice, at least not for every job. I tried welding onto some thick steel under my MR2, and it just wouldn't penetrate. I'm not surprised, because it was only a 70amp welder. So I bought a bigger one: Also, finally chose a location for the oil cooler- right...

I agree, but I sometimes need the cigarette lighter to charge my phone, so... I like the new location for the cig lighter, Doon.

Just a teeny little Craftsman 115v welder. I only really need it for exhaust work, so it should suffice.

Looks like a good, solid starting point. Good luck!

PS- Just picked up a mig welder for the upcoming exhaust work.

Hey...HEY! I'm still here. Just because a guy doesn't update his build thread in a few weeks- doesn't mean he's gone. Well, in a way it does. I've been out of town(and the country, at times) since the second week of last month, working. They let me home for 24 hours today, and I go back out for...

I was in Bahamas last week, and no, it does get better than there. Was in Grand Cayman and St. Kitts this weekend, and I would say that St Kitts is the better choice. Better exchange rate, too. Ps- not that this has anything to do with the present conversation, but... Did you figure out...

In crystal river, right now. Not too bad here

Well, part of the oem restriction is the path that the air has to travel. Oem, it travels up into the top of the airbox, then down through the restrictive filter, and then towards the maf, going from square at the box, to round. That can cause turbulence.
