I ran stock HG and bolts at 70ft/lb for about 2yrs, no problem, using ~9psi.

$85 each on Ebay right now(new), not too bad, and free shipping. But I wouldn't paint the uppers, anyway. The forged aluminum looks pretty pimp, IMO.

I would like it, except, I'd prefer it to not have such 'pointy' areas behind the wheels. If it was a little more tame in that area, it would look sporty, yet subtle, like what I imagine the factory might do for a "sport package".

Any way you slice it, that car is SEX.

18" XXR 502's in gunmetal here. A little over a year now, no problems. Reading the earlier posts on the 502's, now I'm afraid to carry a screwdriver near them, for fear of dropping it on the lip. : )

Update: No new pics, but I did install the wiring harness. I'll be mounting the tranny onto the motor just before I install the engine into the car. Makes more sense that way, rather than leave the entire assembly hanging on the engine hoist. I'm still waiting on the exhaust manifold to get...

Hey Toyo- I need the top feed EGR, but I'm gonna find out this week if my existing one is going to be repaired or not. I'll let you know- thanks.

Slight bit of progress. I'm waiting to see if my exhaust manifold crack can be welded, but finally got the valve covers done in a blue wrinkle finish powdercoat: After sandblasting: Closeup: Motor thus far: I was going to assemble the clutch and tranny onto it, but got called...

Thanks. Hopefully, I can start it up next week.

Hi guys- Here's a little story about my other car, my soon-to-be daily driver... Back in about 1996, my roomate told me he was going to Mexico for 6 months to sell timeshares. Along with him, his coworker decided to go as well. He had an '86 MR2, and didn't know where to put it for those 6...

Just. wow.

Lol! I just did the same thing.

I have run for 3 yrs on a 7mgte with the na oil stud/ no cooler. No problems, and I used 0w30 synthetic oil. My car is about go get retired to the garage for a complete renovation, at which time a thermostatic oil cooler setup will be employed(it's actually already installed).

Either that, or he's making up numbers and he doesn't know turbo engines. 200psi is on the high side of a typical NA motor.

Yeah, putting a GM maf in blowthru mode is nice, and allows you to vent the bov to atmosphere with no problems. Hell- I have an extra GM maf that i'll sell you cheap if you decide to go this route.

I have the original MAFT, and though it does not have half of the features of the MAFT pro, it is super easy to set up, gets rid of the AFM, and I've never, EVER had an issue with it or the GM MAF. I'm about to retire my Supra to the garage for a full restoration, and at that time, I will be...

I didn't see your answer about the blowoff valve- maybe I missed it? Is it recirculated? because if it's not, that's why you're stalling out. (just as Gottadiesel inferred)

Hey, at least he impressed the 5 yr old.

I already have a new short one. I'd like to know the size of the long one, and if I'm not mistaken, the turbo and na long cables are the same part.

A .70 A/R on a 57 trim doesn't sound too big.
