Well, so far so good. The engine now purrs nice and smooth, and no leaks of any kind so far.

I like it- in fact, I was planning on doing that w/ a separate resonator.

Wellllll, it finally runs! Yay me! After letting the fuel evaporate, I cranked it over and walah! nothing. :naughty: I knew I'd prolly have to mess with the CPS, and I did. After playing with it for about 10 minutes, I FINALLY got it started!!! After some back and forth testing with the...

Well, today I FINALLY had a chance to finish up the Supra transplant. I finished filling the transmission, and reinstalled the shifter. Then I reinstalled the battery and reconnected the ecu and MAFT. I cranked it for about 45 seconds w/ the EFI fuse out, to build up oil pressure, and it came...

Man does my schedule suck. If I'm not scheduled off, it means that I'm basically on call for work, as nothing is really scheduled to me specifically, ahead of time. SO I had to work all day today, and I was thinking I'd get a couple of hours free tomorrow to finish her up, but NO. I have to go...

Yeah, that widened keyway is a common problem. It stems from the pulley bolt loosening up, and the pulley just wobbles back and forth. Get a replacement crank.

Yeah- 41 yrs old here, man. It's a car from 'our' period, after all. Good luck with the build! :biglaugh:

OK. This car is officially kicking my ass. Today I got lots of progress done, but didn't get to the finish line as hoped. I started off by degreasing the engine compartment, and began shoehorning the drivetrain in: Then I started hooking everything up. When I got to the new lower...

At about 8 psi and a stock ct w/ maft in blow thru. i was getting 260 rwhp. I would expect you to get at least 300-320 with the 57 trim @ 12psi.

Yeah, I always hear about the 'crank the car' method, but have never tried it. The other way is to take off the lower tranny cover, and have a buddy block the flywheel with a prybar or something, and you use a big-ass breaker bar. That always works.

Well, it's finally happening- progress. Today was rainy, so I didn't get the motor in, but I did do some last minute work to the oil cooling system, and I finally mated the engine and tranny together! As I mentioned, the remote adapter was going to interfere with the turbo's outlet pipe, so I...

nice resurrection, dude.

Well, got the input shaft seal today, and dropped it in, no problem. Then I FPIG'd the cover, and all done. Thanks for the help guys. : )

Nobody? I figured the heavy guns on this forum might know the answer to this one. :icon_bigg

Hi again guys, I searched and found mention that there is a difference in 87-88 and 89+ TB's, but no specifics except for the mention of the idle screw. What I'd like to know is, is there a difference in the TB's as far as what TB gasket you need to use, because my TB doesn't match the gasket...

Yeah, the toyo tool is the one to get, not those others posted above. In fact, one of the tools you mentioned zumtizzle is actually a valve adjustment tool- meaning it's designed to allow you to chenge valve shims, not remove and install the valve spring assemblies. I would have bought the toyo...

Well, I removed and replaced the rear seal, no problems, and I removed the bellhousing and input cover, and popped out that seal as well. I had to order the front seal, it'll be a few days till that arrives, but that's ok, I have to wait a few days anyway till I have time to install the drivetrain.

Nice work- so when do you think it'll(the motor) be back in the car?

cool. I'm going to pick up the seals tonight, because the motor/tranny might be going in tomorrow.
