Good point. That could easily cause a problem.

Horsepower Freaks sells them. They have a very large catalog of parts they carry. I'm guessing that SS doesn't want to sell a unit from another company when then make the Boss series entirely in house. http://www.horsepowerfreaks.com/price/Toyota/Supra_86-92/performance/Turbos/Turbos_Only

Depends on how you drive. People have been known to run the 60/62-1 turbos for a good long time with no issues - however, I think these people are the ones that drive mildly most of the time, and only push hard when some moron begs us to whip them. Many folks who drive hard all the time have...

I'm heading out to see the Sci-Fi movie Serenity tonight - but you could meet up just about anytime except when the show is actually playing, it only takes a minute to diagnose rod knock. :)

First of all, is there a reason that you are not considering the bolt on SP series turbos? Down to the ones you have mentioned... unfortunately, actual numbers will be very hard to pin down without putting the unit on your car and running it on a dyno, as SO many factors figure in. Intake...

Not a thing. I was about 10 years old at the time, and living on a farm, we had about a hundred cats. So when you are lounging in a chair with your hand dangling over the arm, when a small furry creature brushes up against your hand, you stroke it, because it's always a cat.

Skunks are actually reasonable creatures - just like bumblebees, unless you piss them off, you'll be fine. Many years back, I found I was absentmindedly stroking one thinking it was one of our cats, which surprised the hell out of me, but the skunk was perfectly happy to be petted like a cat.

Seafoam takes care of carbon buildup. Didn't you just put this engine together? If so, there's no way that carbon could be a problem yet - it's unlikely to ever be a problem for us, I find that carbon only builds up on cars driven by grannies. :) I'll throw in with the rest when I say that...

I like my RPS Billet flywheel. :)

Believe me, if my next rebuild is any time soon and related to oil starvation, we'll be having a conversation that he will not enjoy. :D

No new oil pump! I considered it very seriously, however, my machinist checked the one that I have and tells me that it has literally zero wear on it. Not really surprising considering that I still have well under 100k on this engine. Oddly enough, I had to drill out one of the rivets on my...

Yes, there were many different castings for the 7M head, and they were constantly being evolved. There is a thread about this over on the Doc's site as well, with pics of some of the castings.

So, are you heading for a relationship with another girl then? ;) Because you aren't going to find a guy who doesn't love cars, that's a figment of your imagination. :)

Sounds like a very mild rod knock to me. You're local to me, right? Vancouver, BC area? If you feel like stopping past my place so I can hear it, I can tell you whether it's rod knock or not, I'm rather familiar with it. :(

No, I think you have the right idea about asking. I can't understand carbs. They are incredibly complex little buggers that have thousands of moving parts that wear out and break. EFI is easy... measure incoming air, apply fuel to match, DONE.

Threadjack... I'd LOVE to see someone duplicate the oilpan with 'wings' posted over on the Doc's tech site! Get on it... ;) /Threadjack

Another point in favor of an alarm. The cost to install one is usually about the same as the cost for your deductable on your insurance, so it pays for itself if it warns away even a single thief.

Actually, rod knock usually only happens in a small RPM range to begin with. However, it sounds nothing like grinding, it sounds like someone tapping on your engine with a hammer, so it sounds like you are safe from that. I would absolutely find out what it is and fix it, I don't like...

There are more bolts up top of the bellhousing for you to work on. Likely 4 more of them. Either tip the engine / tranny combo down on the rear and thread several extensions over the tranny, or grease up your arms and use your ninja hands to get a ratcheting wrench on from below them. The...
