I just ordered the 130amp alternator from Egay. I imagine it is simply a rewound, stock alternator, or maybe they use a different type of regulator or IC's. I had planned on doing the MR2 alternator, but didn't want to deal with squeezing that oversize badboy in there with the fuel plumbing I have.

See? no problem.

Yeah, I thought the Doctor made close to 400hp on stock, IIRC. I made 260hp on 8psi, so I can't imagine it'd be too tough to break 300.

[Michael Jackson music in the backround...] That bolt is really stuck- it's simply not fair- It's supposed to be removed but it don't seem to care You better hit it up with more than just cold air, so- Heat it. Just heat it. I'm sorry- I was bored. ANYWAY- Use a propane torch to warm it up

Don't care, you guys decide, but do it fast, so that we can get these pistons in our hands! :aigo:

I started using that site a few yrs ago- REALLY helps when you can't find something on Ebay...

Ok, for the past year or so I have been collecting parts for my next buildup; a 7MGTE that'll reliably handle the 300-400hp range. I wanted to have a complete longblock ready to drop in, rather than rebuilding my current one, so I could reduce downtime. Besides, as soon as the old engine is...

What's the thickness of material between the valve relief and the piston edge? In the model, it looks REAL thin. (Of course, ALL hot models are thin..:) I assume it's a normal dimension, though, yes?

Hey- I didn't see that you're in stockbridge. I'm up in Kennesaw. I was going to say- if you have an NA, shouldn't your timing be set at 12degrees? I can't remember, but that should help with the hesitation.

Thanx for the update, Doward.

If project 2 has some some of problem like...I dunno- it runs rough maybe, check to make sure it has six spark plugs. :naughty: Just kidding (I couldn't resist) Honestly- who here HASN'T had a brainfart, and overanalyzed a problem on their Supra, only to find out it was something simple...

Yeah- What is the status of this group buy? I've been sitting on a block(not literally), waiting to put it together, and I want to get an idea of when this might happen. If not reasonably soon, I'll have to go with my new cast pistons. Any info is appreciated.

So, after 7 months of a high idle...you adjusted the...idle adjustment screw? glad it's running better man. Enjoy.

I did the resistor swap for mine, using Dr. Jonez' writeup, no problems.

I'd love to jump on the "BHG" bandwagon, but it doesn't sound like it- not since you have a new engine, retorqued and all. What happens if you run the engine at idle, till it warms up, with the rad cap off?

Fastest car I've ever been in was an E63... Scared the PISS outta me.

How do they mount? are they bolted on, or do you blend them in?

Umm- what's an NSS, or an NSW?? neutral safety switch is my guess for the first, and dunno NSW. PS- where's the starter relay? in the main EFI box under the hood?
