    How hard is it to reinstall the EGR?

    As much as I hate quoting myself...do you guys ever read previous posts? It's not impossible to do jtran and laying on top of the motor will save your back SSSC.

    Targa people, would you be interested in...

    You can't be serious...or, are you one of the types on here that puts looks before function? Most of us like running the car without a top on a nice spring day. If I can minimize chassis flex (i.e. targa shimmy) and still enjoy the car with no top, then why the heck not. And, if you're...

    Unknown Warning Light

    What do you mean "my dash doesn't light up"? Depends on the bulbs you used...LEDs don't have the resistance required to make the failure module "happy". If you're using std bulbs, it's likely the module.

    Sneakypete's Bulletproof Powerplant Build

    Lube the fitting and inside the hose with motor oil...hold the fitting in a vice (pad it) and push the hose on. I don't have one of these, but it's made for sizes up to -8. http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?autofilter=1&part=AER%2DFBM3632&N=700+4294925139+115&autoview=sku

    Targa people, would you be interested in...

    To get back on topic: Ummm...NO. Not true. I have a set of Weezle Wings myself. There is a noticeable difference in chassis flex with the brace installed vs top off with nothing. These look like a good alternative.

    Concerning the cams, it was this thread: http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?t=56763 More of a timing issue due to the helical gear being out of phase on the BC cams. There are workarounds though...read the thread. You are correct, the cams should not cause a 1000 RPM jump at...

    Corrosion on the bulb contacts will cause this too.

    How hard is it to reinstall the EGR?

    You'll have to do a couple yoga tricks with your hands to get the EGR bolts screwed into the head, but nothing like the cooler. Jacking it up like you said will help and you'll need a low profile socket/ratchet. If you lay padding down across the top of the motor (like an old mattress) and lay...

    Olympics: Who gives a f@%&!!!!!!!!

    You know Will, the Olympics are not all about your personal entertainment. I watch the sports that interest me, and the ones where history is being made (like Michael Phelps). There are folks that really get into the whole thing and everything in between. It's not all about you Will, but you...

    Ummm...how about measuring for voltage drop (at stated conditions) using a multimeter?

    Supra makes wierd rattling noise after 3000 rpm on every gear HELP!

    It depends on how much oil was really in the pan. Uncovering the pick-up at mid to high RPM will toast one or more bearings in a heartbeat. It's not an absolute though...perhaps the pick-up remained submerged. I'd explore other causes before I pulled the motor (or the pan). A mechanics...

    Got my built 7m running last night!! couple questions. Vid. on post 66

    Like JJ told you a while back, it's the TPS (or wiring)...the TB you have on it is making it worse due to the seal issue. Clear your codes, plug the TPS in (off the TB), and see if you get a code 41. The discussion on IC piping size was to get you thinking about what your doing and how to...

    He blocked the ISCV air source off depriving it of air. On a stock ECU, that TB is going to cause pretty big idle problems combined with 272 cams.

    Take a closer look at the pic of the TB...it has a significant gap around the lower right edge. It does not completely close...pretty much makes it useless.
