He just wanted to know if it would work, not whether it was eaiser to just do an aftermarket. I think he has the answer. Run in parallel would work well, but would be a plumbing nightmare. Even if all the angles and lengths are not exact, it should still flow better than running in series. Even...

ARP does suggest to align hone the main housing holes when switching to main studs. Your machinist can check for straightness and roundness of a capped, crankless block, to see if it is needed. Don't do it if it is not needed. The stock bolts are plenty strong for most applications.

You can not just buy a set of bearings and slap them in. You must as said above, mic the crank, mic the inside bore diameter of the rods and main bearing housing hole to fiqure what size bearing you need. The crank may need machining to adjust the size to make a proper oil clearance. Here is...

You could split your piping into two paths just off the turbo. Run one path through one intercooler, and the second path through the second intercooler. After the intercoolers, you could bring both pipes back together into one. This would split the flow and the work in half as each stock...

If I recall correctly, Gary is still using ARP head BOLTS torqued to arp specs on his 1300hp 7m. The top end is not rebuilt as often as you think.

Something tells me that I may be a popular guy after the group buy is over...

is that 2j motor mounts I see? Too few people use that age old upgrade!

I just sent one to Canada, was that you?

Blitz is not too loud, all other exhaust are just too quiet

If they want 100% up front then I will get 5 sets, if they only want a deposit, then I will take 10

What is the full price with rings and pins now? I might be in for 3 or 4 sets

I will keep a look out for parts for sale, you should make us a laundry list or easy to identify parts that are inside and under the hood. Keep an eye on e-bay and all 6 or 7 supra type forums that are around.

I am astonished that this thread is not locked yet, can't we all just love one another and not turn this place into Supraforums. Group hug!

IJ - yes, I posted that a few ago about stress relieving. Each side of the rod journal where the machined portion meets the non-machined is hit with a little higher oxygen flame to stress relieve the crank after grinding. Cranks that have had this done will have the blueing proof on the...

I believe the heat treaters here use an ammonia type chemical in the salt bath style hardening. They used to call it melaniting, but I believe the term was trade marked by another company. Now everyone has a different name for salt bath style. One thing I like about it is it tends not to bend...

Why laugh? That is what the blueing around the rod journals are from. It is an annealing process to stress relieve the crank after machine the raw forging, and to slightly case harden the area where the journal meets the crank. This process is done on lots of cranks today. I see it on a lot on...

That is how I cook my hot dogs!!:biglaugh:

Sorry, my spelling finger does not always work. Nitride when you are speaking of crankshaft hardness treating is not a thing at all. Nitriding is a process, not a tangible object. Nitriding of steel is the process of placing the object in a oven heated to 1050 degrees, then the oven is saturated...
