    Overheating!!!

    Yeah I know I said it might last a little longer. Looks like he didn't change the oil like somebody told him. So I guess it might last a little less longer:nono:

    Magnesum oil pans.

    Yeah wayyyy too much. It cost me $80.00 to have 2" welded on my pan and pickup and the dams put in. Just haven"t got to the track to try it out. Thanks

    Overheating!!!

    Yeah maybe he got lucky and it might last a little while longer if it checks out, but I would also be checking my other choises(rebuild, JDM,etc.) to see what way I could afford, and what I want the car for(ie. transportation, project car, etc)

    Magnesum oil pans.

    The sub frame brace, is that the bar that goes accross? If that is yes I've always taken that out anytime I've pulled the motor. Maybe it just looks to me very wide and I thought that there might be some prob. side to side maybe with headers or something on the other side. Thanks

    Magnesum oil pans.

    I had a hard enough time with the extra 2" depth on the oil pan when I dropped the motor in. I would think the "wings" would make it a little tuffer.

    chip/flash ECU

    You can get a Recal done by Jet Chip. I did a while back. You order the "kit" they send you a box to ship your ECU back to them They recalabrate it and ship it back. They change the fuel curve so they say. Can't say that I noticed that much of a difference. I changed to an Apexi, and that gives...

    Thanks IJ. Sounds like the boy needs to go burn some tires or something. Pretty funning though. And it is better that watching TV.

    Magnesum oil pans.

    Ahh well, I had a prob. with rod bearings going out with hard cornering and braking, starving the pickup I think. I had 2" welded to the oil pan and pickup with a couple of dams to keep oil to the pickup, but haven't been able to get back on the track to see it it corrected the prob.. Seemed...

    Overheating!!!

    He's not that old I've got uhh, uhh, 12 years on him. Maybe age does make you forgetful sometimes, or maybe it just ain't worth remembering:biglaugh:

    Magnesum oil pans.

    I see some of you guys have these. I can't find were you got them or what you paid for them? Also any clearance problems, and by how much did it increase capacity?

    looking for someone, or a shop to work on my supra

    Why do you want to swap to a turbo right away before you even have the car? You say you're in college? Must have deep pockets. Anything wrong with the NA?

    Overheating!!!

    You've got to watch your gauges thats what they are there for. When its running OK you check em, then you know if temp, oil press.,amps, etc. changes there is something wrong. Temp gauge pegged, something seriously wrong.DO NOT DRIVE:nono: TOW

    PROBLEMS.

    Check the metal pipe that goes around the head to the drivers side . The heater hose goes into the top of the head at the rear, is it OK? If it's a NA there is a rubber cap header side that can split with age.

    Easiest/best way to fill transmission w/ oil

    I bought a fill tube that screws on top of the quart container with a piece of clear hose on it. It makes it so you can squeeze the bottle to squirt the fluid into fill hole. Works pretty good.

    Not Sure what to do

    Have them check the block to se if it can be salvaged, score a lot of the times can be bored out as long as everything else checks out, then pick up a head. I'd fix it sounds like the rest of the car is OK. Make her bigger and better.

    So yeah, good times, with the engine swap.

    A really long extension with a swivel on the end. That's what I used to do a clutch. Be careful though it has a tendency to slip off the bolt and you may booger up the bolt or your knuckels.
