Really? Good to know.

Yes, but are they <$3.50 each? I also found that you can pick up shims from certain years of the following engines: 3SFE 3SGE 5SFE 7AFE 4AGE(not sure) I just grabbed a bunch from the junkyard, between the sizes of 2.78mm and 2.9mm. If anyone needs some sent to them, LMK.

Hey- I've been rebuilding my cylinder head, but found that I needed thicker shims for my exhaust cam. In fact, I needed 11 after all the swapping around was finished. I picked up 4 from Toyota, and paid $8.50 each for them(which is not a bad deal). I've heard of them going for as much as $11...

How is your AFPR plumbed in- isn't it supposed to be plumbed into the fuel rail outlet? I still see the stock FPR on the rail.

You might be able to get away with the resistor mod. See Dr. J's website. It's what I did for my 7M turbo swap.

Just a couple more pics today, showing that I have all 6 pistons finally in! yay me! I gapped the rings to .017 on top, .019 on second, and .013 on oil. All 6 in...

I thought the 90 models had the cruise controls relocated to the stalk, Jeff. Was it different for Canadian models, or am I just off in my recollection? PS- The car is perfect. Sometimes the rubber parts develop a white grit to the surface over time, but the rubber is still 100% good. Just...

That wing's gonna look pretty good once you trim back those middle spikes a bit.

Yeah, the tool I bought is for import auto and motorcycle valves. It worked pretty well, and also came with a magnetic valve lock remover.

Well, I finally did get that chance to work on the motor again, but first I needed to do a tuneup to the car, because I failed emissions(NOx was too high). I replaced the plugs, dialed back the fuel pressure to stock, reset the ignition timing, as it was at 16 degrees by accident, and removed...

werd- this happened to me, car wouldn't drive any faster than 20mph, blowing massive black smoke, and turbo revving to a kajillion rpm.

Well, I'll try to take a few next time i'm within 5 miles of the head. Dunno when I'll get a chance to get back over there for more work.

Well, I'm not sure, but I might be the first guy to get the Probe piston installed! Notice I didn't say pistonS, as I've only gotten one in so far. :crazy1: What I did today: Picked up the block from the machine shop Went to Jarco to chat with those guys for a bit Stopped into the Toyota...

I second what Doward said, depends on the Ebay type you got. I have the Tial knockoff, and it has never leaked to my knowledge, and will vent during shifts as low as 1psi. PS- Starscream- I love that Synapse BOV, looks awesome.

Like the thread says, I was wondering how you actually treat carbon fiber, and form it. Is it worked in a similar fashion to fiberglass weave, in that it is used with a epoxy or polyester resin? I was just wondering if it was that easy, as it seems that it would make more sense to work with CF...

That can be adjusted though, just like on the MkIII's, right?

Yup- Like he said- they might even be able to WIDEN the hole slightly, to weld in an AL bung that matches the original size, instead of top mounting it, causing it to sit higher than stock.

you're sure it's not rod knock??

how much of the interior pieces will you be re-installing on this car?

Dumb question, but are you sure you've got the right bolt? Is it possible you're comparing the bolt hole to a banjo bolt belonging to some other part of the motor? Like I said, it was a dumb question.
