    seven injectors

    Yep...saw one with TWO additional injectors on the 3000 Pipe. You have to have a controller though...HKS Rubic? I think :dunno:

    Lexus AFM, 550cc Lucas, Aero AFPR...

    Increase your fuel pressure in increments. Mine (same set-up) would start hesitating at higher boost...when I installed the Walbro, solved the problem. I also run my pressure at about 40 psi. You might just have an old, tired fuel pump. Also, did you drill out the "J" tube to remove the...

    Alternator...Battery Light...Brake Light WTF!

    Yeah...been there. Went through 3 "brand new" alternators on my son's truck before we got one that worked right. I did check the grounds...I've got additional grounding straps going to the block on both sides and a new grounding wire going to the battery. I guess I was hoping you guys...

    HKS SSQ adjustment help

    Clockwise tightens it up to raise the psi it holds.

    Alternator...Battery Light...Brake Light WTF!

    Ok...here's what I did: 1) Alternator went bad...showed 11.5 volts on the dash meter; plus it was very hot to the touch 2) Replaced battery w/ brand new one 850 amp I bought a MR2 alternator '91 (w/ powersteering)...thought I'd upgrade to a 100 amp one since the old alternator was bad...

    Son of a bitc*

    Ohhh...I misunderstood the problem. Could be the starter solenoid. If you can see it on top of the starter, tap on it with a metal rod (be careful not to ground the hot wire) while someone tries to start the car. If it starts that's great, but it means it's going bad.

    what do u think about the UNORTHADOX pully?

    :withstupi Been using one since I did my re-build...motor revs, boosts smooth as glass. Did a lot of reading on this before I decided to go with the pulley (including an e-mail discussion with Unorthadox) and came to the conclusion that adverse effect would be minimum. In all fairness, I...

    Son of a bitc*

    My CPS looked like that...I cut the wires, spliced new ones to the connector, and used shrink tubing to re-insulate. Check the harness side wires that go across the top front of the cam covers...mine were in pretty bad shape there too.

    New parts = New thread :) lots of pics!

    That's what I like to see...a mean, clean Mk III :bling: Glad you're happy with the work Jeff :icon_bigg

    Exhaust manifold studs

    Thanks for the correction...I based my statement on research I did when I concluded there was a problem with the studs stripping on the exhaust side of the head. Here's a couple of articles where they mention helicoils are used in aerospace...

    F'in Bolt HELP

    Try a 3/4" high torque air impact wrench or if you can get your hands on an electric one, that would work too. You could try to heat the bolt with a propane torch, but be careful the crank pulley has rubber in it and there's the crank seal right behind it. Good luck...these can be a royal PIA!

    Exhaust manifold studs

    Very true...hence the helicoils. :biglaugh: Work out to be 2-3 times stronger than the aluminum itself (that's why they're used in the aircraft industry). One of the problems with this head is the exhaust manifold will work itself loose from the heat cycling...the extra 10-15 ft/lbs of...

    Exhaust manifold studs

    Gotta get em at Toyota...I check w/ ARP and no luck. Tried to see if the Chevy/ford ones would work (with helicoils), but they're not big enough to drill out the hole to remove the 10mm threads. Soooo, ended up using Toyota ones, but did get ARP stainless 10mm 12 point nuts and washers...

    Dies when restarting!

    Check your wiring on the CPS. Mine was bad on the CPS itself from the housing to the connector...the insulation was brittle & cracked. Heat seemed to affect it. Sometimes it worked fine, other times it just died. I figured it out by wiggling the wires and was able to cause it/fix it. Seems...

    Oil line BLEW UP!! backwards?

    10mm is way too much! 10mm = 1cm = ~ 3/8" All you want to do is raise the pressure about 10 psi...1/10" - 1/8" is plenty to put additional pressure on the relief valve spring to achieve the extra 10 psi. An old rule of thumb...you want about 10 psi of oil pressure for each 1000 rpm. This...

    Oil line BLEW UP!! backwards?

    Oh Man :wtf: I just re-read your 8mm shim on the pressure relief valve spring on the oil pump...the most you want to do is about 90 thousands thickness. That about 2 washers worth and will give you about 10 more psi of pressure. Using 5-30 oil, that gives me about 20 psi (warm) at...

    JE vs stock pistons

    This is a pretty decent price for Ross pistons...been using them for 6 months now. No issues...nice quiet & smooth. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Mitsubishi-Toyota-V6-Supra-Ross-Forged-Pistons-n-Rings_W0QQitemZ8043102913QQcategoryZ33623QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

    Valve covers

    They will fit both heads just fine...but The 7M-GE covers has the "slot" further back for the "Y" pipe to go to the throttle body. The 7M-GTE has the "slot" more forward for mounting the coil packs. So you really can't interchange them.

    what size is this hose?

    You mean like this? :icon_cool I used AN-12 fitting and hose though...closer to the stock hose ID. Plus it made installing a MR2 alternator a snap!
