Nice post! This belongs in the FAQ... perhaps we'll move it over there after it's warmed up a bit over here.

Some of that is real... but some of it is not. Lotus had a video out a while back that was just as impressive... and it was all actual footage.

I'm actually fond of Redline MT90 for the tranny...

Your eventual goals make a big difference here. For instance, 600+ hp cars need a massive intercooler and big intake pipes... so you're either going to buy two sets, one for now and one later, or you're going to buy a big setup and deal with the throttle response problems that generates with...

Ok, you don't need all that for a mere 300hp. You can do that with a new intake, a 3 inch exhaust from the turbo all the way out, and a simple manual boost controller. If you add a new intercooler, some hardpipes, 550cc injectors and the lexus MAF or a MAFT from full throttle, you should be in...

2" pipe if I recall correctly. Have to wait for someone else to chime in with the angles...

Yup, that would be the return line for the oil cooler I'll bet.

Helps if we know two things... Power goals, and budget. :)

That pic looks more like bad rod knock... to the point that he put a rod through the block, which will kill any rod.

Damn... that just went on the birthday list. Only way I'll ever own a targa!

Holy crap, dude. Nice pics! :D

You've got the right idea for the technique. Easy way is to get a line lock, lets you lock the front brakes while the rears are open. :)

By the thread title, I don't think we need to ask what you think of the SSAutochrome guys... ;)

If you can find a wiring pinout for the sensor, you might be able to leave the OBDII wire disconnected, hook up signal to the colored wire, and the two heater wires to the other two on your Supra harness. I imagine the sensor should still work, but I haven't tried it, so YMMV. My usual method...

Yes, but all Turbo O2 sensors are heated, that's why we have three wires. The 4 wire ones are sensor, heater+, heater-, and OBDII diag IIRC.

rumptis, ARP hardware has been tested and used successfully at over 125 foot pounds of torque. You'll deform the head before you snap their bolts or studs. That said, anything around 80 foot pounds should be more than sufficient for the average engine builder. If you are building a 700hp...

Was it white??? http://www.turbomagazine.com/tech/0408tur_scion/

Agreed, the MR2s are DAMN fast. I was trying to buy one of those instead of my Supra, but the local market is crazy - couldn't find one for under 17k that was worth owning.

You are correct, Wendigo. Unfortunately, they are non-serviceable. 88supraTT, there are two small holes, one on the top, one on the bottom, that will leak if the seals in the pump are finished. I'll bet you that your leak is coming from the bottom hole.

Bah, just remove the rivets. You have to drill out a rivet ont he HKS as well if you've shaved the block. Sounds like the rest of the crew has the torque covered.
