Wasn't there a guy from Sweden that made his own tubular short runner manifold? I was hoping he was going to make and sell them to us MKIII guys.

Thank you. Dr.J, do you run these? Have you heard of flipping shims while running stock cams. If I upgrade my cams then I'll consider these.

Is there a tech article for the shims under the bucket??

It's never ate my belt. My motor didn't eat itself because of non-harmonic vibration preventing it's supposed to not have (if that made any sense). But I will not be going with my Unorthodox UP on my next build up. I'm going with a stock unit because of all of the bad warnings (although none...

The reason why I'm interested in some cams is because I want to replace my stock ones. They run about $300 for a the pair. I read on supraforums.com that Shcneider Racing Cams will do regrinds for $150 a pop (with your core), whatever profile you choose. That's why I was asking how to choose...

IJ, have you ever dynoed your car with the upgraded cams... then with the stockers without any other changes? If so, were there any differences?

So at what point do we start to flow 900cfm? Would you know off hand? When we start running T4 turbo's?

How do you go about selecting cams? Is it a hit or miss process with 7m's, or do you send out your head flow #'s to a company and they recommend some to you? Does it help if you have flow #'s available, so you can choose cams that are right for car? Is it comp cams, or crane that will make you...

Oh, I thought you already had all the funds to complete this swap already. You still might want to consider trying to find a used MKIII turbo 5spd that needs work. I'm sure you can pick one up cheaper than importing an engine. Since you're going to go through your imported engine and...

Well, I wanted to say MAFT Pro but last time I recommended a piggy pack some people on here got after me. "Piggy backs are just another weak link, People need something more reliable, They can't possibly do what a stand-alone can, yada yada yada." It's obvious that he needs some kind of fuel...

Sometimes I entertain myself and add up all the parts people have on their wish list. I came up with roughly $12887. That includes parts, machining, and misc. stuff you made need to complete your swap. That does not include shipping on any parts. That's the parts list you mentioned minus the...

They have a compression tester loan a tool at Autozone. http://autozone.com/servlet/UiBroker?UseCase=C003&UserAction=performAccTextSearch&Parameters=Compression+Tester+Kit%24CP7827%24ACM You pay for it up front, and get your money back when you return it. It's easy to perform the test...

A few years ago everybody kept recommending to lower your compression. That way you were able to run more boost safely, and get more power. Now I'm hearing about guys running 10-11:1 running 25+psi of boost. "It's all in the tune", they say. So with higher compression would there be a need...

IIRC, all of the exhaust manifold bolts were 14mm. You can't just place a socket on the bolts and tell what they are? Are all of them thrashed?

Take it in to get a valve job, and resurface. You can measure all the shims and replace them if necessary. For rebuilding the head yourself you can start with this link. http://www.cygnusx1.net/supra/library/TSRM/em/EM_40.html That pretty much tells you what you can do. Having all the...

Thanks Jag for the link. I'll go ahead and do it right the first time per TSRM. I don't want to end up with a rod knock after all the work I put into it.

Why not take them off, and find out what size they are when you do that? Then take them in to your fastner specialist.

I'd keep the downpipe and make a 1.4" test pipe as you mentioned. Or just have an exhaust shop make you one then take it home and bolt it on. No need to scrap the downpipe just becuase it doesn't say HKS on it.

If I were going to just replace all of my rod and main bearings with standard sizes, do I need to do the whole plastigage/micrometering process? I've been reading up on TSRM http://www.cygnusx1.net/supra/library/TSRM/em/EM_69.html , and they show the how to check & determine wether your...
