    V8 swaps

    The owner does not post here. The idea of a V8 is fine. Which one is dramatically different.

    What would american rice be called?

    I was going to say Chevy's. But some kids have butchered newer Mustangs too.

    Wow, My supra feels weak now

    As long as you take care of your ride, you shouldn't get those things Joe. Maybe someday I will spit coolant out the tailpipe.

    Wow, My supra feels weak now

    Oh, I'm not provoking an argument. Just having a sibling(engine) rivalry.

    Wow, My supra feels weak now

    The stock dyno's I have seen say otherwise. So do the inlines I work on.

    No clutch resistance

    There is a spring to add clutch pedal return, but the hydraulic pressure will push it back. It is one or the other I think. I think the fluid is bypassing.

    Still sputtering after all kinds of parts swapped!

    Is the popping in the muffler or intake manifold?

    My Supra won't sound like a Cressida anymore

    Pre-build discussion (7MGTE)

    What size pistons are you using?

    This is why I always quote the manual when asked, .5mm over max. I asked around about the old HKS 85mm pistons. Some bad problems happened. The new block should be different. You are right.

    My Supra won't sound like a Cressida anymore

    Shaeff is still holding their hands on i-supra when they cross the street. I know the original 3 inch system off road made 36 rwhp, on an otherwise bone stock 87. Having the cat in place cost it 6 rwhp. I can live with that. The old articles are all over the web. I am even going to put a...
