    oldskool-nick's Official Build Thread

    Nick: It'll do fine for the initial startup but toss it after the first 50 miles before it gets a chance to block up with crap and start bypassing. I run the Moroso heavy case race style filters just for the security of mind in case I forget and buzz the motor a bit when cold. I find they're...

    ngk iridium plugs?

    The overheating issue didn't show up for me until 20psi+ and extended high speed pulls (150mph+)

    organizing for rebuild

    Tune is King! Stock Genuine pistons with a good tune will survive nicely, Forged give you a little more leeway in case of an oops moment (lean out or boost spike)

    Yes there was a reason.. Emissions so it comes on accurate closed loop faster.

    Sputter at high RPM

    Just drive around it. You know when it happens short shift.

    Sputter at high RPM

    There is a point in the power curve at maximum cylinder pressure that spark blowout can be an issue. At 30 psi for me with a .025" plug gap it happens around the 5300 point (max Tq) I've bumped the timing up a touch at this point to tune around this but normally you'd either raise the spark...

    what oil for break in?

    Very welcome Brian! I try to post my reasoning why and not just expect people to blindly follow anything I say :) (been wrong in the past and I'm sure I will be again in the future)

    what oil for break in?

    <pointing up there^> Yes Valvoline do a single weight running in oil.

    what oil for break in?

    Yes but VERY important to get one that has minimal additives or friction moddifiers I can't stress this enough as the Block is quite hard and if you use FM's it may never seat the rings.

    *7M Crank RPM Limit*

    Update! As suspected there wasn't a lot left power wise after 25 psi as the 3540 just can't flow enough to fill a 3.0 litre motor at high rpm. I tore it down and did an inspection and found the Rod bearings were showing signs of fatigue so am upgrading to a better quality bearing for the...

    JT2MA71's Build. Dyno video on post # 1191

    I like the mutiple large Oil drains in the deck! (something a little lacking in the 7M)

    You know you're a Supra owner when...

    You get really good at waiting ;)

    what oil for break in?

    Try and get a single weight break in oil Valvoline do one as do many of the other companies. In 5 Qts of your 10-30 you would have 4 Qts of Oil and 1 Qt of vicosity index improver which isn't actually Oil not to mention most Oils these days are Friction Moddified a big no no for a new Build.

    wideband install quick question

    No debate really it does reduce their lifespan and it's a good idea to mount them away from the flame front. I can't see how having one mounted closer would be anymore accurate as long as there is no leak in the pipe between the Turbo and the 02 sensor. Response time is another matter as...

    Confirmation of BHG please

    ok good news there! Would be very rare to actually blow a HG and get a squirter and have it still run! I still suspect a hose or a fitting. How is it running in general?
