    Throw Out bearing or....

    I'm thinking you might need to replace the bellhousing in the worst case scenario.

    Throw Out bearing or....

    Sweet. I can't remember - is the broken part actually part of the bellhousing, or is it 1/2 of something that bolts to the bellhousing?

    ARP Head Stud Question.

    Yeah, just wait for BHG. It's the logical excuse for an upgrade anyway.

    My new 7M buildup...long road.

    Well, I noticed one problem so far. When I start it up cold, the oil pressure rises to like 40 psi at idle. Nice. BUT, once it's completely warmed up, it drops to near zero at idle, and only gets up to about 30 psi ay 3k rpm. This is a new oil sender, and I'm not sure if it's reading right or...

    My new 7M buildup...long road.

    Well, so far so good. The engine now purrs nice and smooth, and no leaks of any kind so far.

    Slow day at the shop so we ghetto fabbed something

    I like it- in fact, I was planning on doing that w/ a separate resonator.

    My new 7M buildup...long road.

    Wellllll, it finally runs! Yay me! After letting the fuel evaporate, I cranked it over and walah! nothing. :naughty: I knew I'd prolly have to mess with the CPS, and I did. After playing with it for about 10 minutes, I FINALLY got it started!!! After some back and forth testing with the...

    My new 7M buildup...long road.

    Well, today I FINALLY had a chance to finish up the Supra transplant. I finished filling the transmission, and reinstalled the shifter. Then I reinstalled the battery and reconnected the ecu and MAFT. I cranked it for about 45 seconds w/ the EFI fuse out, to build up oil pressure, and it came...

    My new 7M buildup...long road.

    Man does my schedule suck. If I'm not scheduled off, it means that I'm basically on call for work, as nothing is really scheduled to me specifically, ahead of time. SO I had to work all day today, and I was thinking I'd get a couple of hours free tomorrow to finish her up, but NO. I have to go...

    88 Turbo Old Man Project Car

    Yeah, that widened keyway is a common problem. It stems from the pulley bolt loosening up, and the pulley just wobbles back and forth. Get a replacement crank.

    My new 7M buildup...long road.

    OK. This car is officially kicking my ass. Today I got lots of progress done, but didn't get to the finish line as hoped. I started off by degreasing the engine compartment, and began shoehorning the drivetrain in: Then I started hooking everything up. When I got to the new lower...

    What's your guess on my ponies with these mods?

    At about 8 psi and a stock ct w/ maft in blow thru. i was getting 260 rwhp. I would expect you to get at least 300-320 with the 57 trim @ 12psi.

    I'm changing my timing belt and this is what I found. What does it indicate?

    Yeah, I always hear about the 'crank the car' method, but have never tried it. The other way is to take off the lower tranny cover, and have a buddy block the flywheel with a prybar or something, and you use a big-ass breaker bar. That always works.

    My new 7M buildup...long road.

    Well, it's finally happening- progress. Today was rainy, so I didn't get the motor in, but I did do some last minute work to the oil cooling system, and I finally mated the engine and tranny together! As I mentioned, the remote adapter was going to interfere with the turbo's outlet pipe, so I...

    transmission seals, how tough?

    Well, got the input shaft seal today, and dropped it in, no problem. Then I FPIG'd the cover, and all done. Thanks for the help guys. : )

    Differences in throttle bodies?

    Nobody? I figured the heavy guns on this forum might know the answer to this one. :icon_bigg
