What kind of cam gears are those? PS- you mentioned that the motor grenaded due to a fuel pump issue- what happened?

Well, the best advice I can give to Vexer is to involve your wife as much as she's willing, so she can see it's something you two can do together. I KNOW that it's a long shot for most women, but honestly(and you can tell her this), a woman who works on a car is automatically TWICE as hot as one...

Powdercoated rotor hats and calipers:

New brake hardware. Didn't even know there were supposed to be wear clips on the back: Still waiting on one more box for the rear subframe; a little DIY project for the rear bushings. PS- in that last pic, I got a bit carried away with wear clips, and accidentally put all 4 on one side. I've...

Don't worry, people! I haven't stalled out, was just out of town for 9 days. Came home to a few boxes- two reman'd axles, and all new rear brake hardware. Here's old and new axles. They gave me 333,000 miles, they've earned their retirement:

What he said. Check your pulley's index mark vs. the keyway position to see if it is off. If your car runs smoother with really advanced timing, this could be the issue. However, if your ign. timing is ok, but it runs worse, that tells me that a cam may be off a tooth as well. And here's a...

I would only suggest that you attack each section of the car individually and exclusively, rather than multiple areas at once. I'm finally doing it this way- Suspension- interior- body- drivetrain. That way, I can focus all my money and effort at perfecting one section, rather than spreading...

The Supra is NOT fat; It's Voluptuous. A miata is a Kiera knightly. The Supra is a Sophia Vergara

Lol. 23's ok then. I just wanted to make sure. If your old lady's footin' the bills around the house, just be sure to make her breakfast in bed once a week, and tell her that to you, the Supra is your metallic embodiment of her, and that's why you work so hard to make it perfect. Better yet-...

Agreed.

Well... The TSRM weighs at least 32 oz., so... ;)

Those pics show what looks like a fairly stock CT26. If the compressor wheel IS bigger, it doesn't look it, unless those are file photos, and not the actual product.

It will of course do this, since the gears mesh at an angle. So don't worry too much about that. Worst case scenario, you have to adjust the cps the oppsite direction by one tooth. But again- What's with the clanking description???

Good luck with the build!

Umm. Nice car- and interesting manifold idea, for sure. um... How old are you? I was just curious.

If anyone's interested, I just read in Import tuner magazine that they will be doing an article on a mkIII, as well as JZ conversion stuff, in next month's issue.

When the cps is installed correctly, the cps tooth can sometimes jump one tooth off, even when you're very careful. I always install the cps with the outer cover off, so I can tell if the shaft rotates. Also, what do you mean by "clanking"? Do you mean a loud ticking noise, or does it...

Looking good. I used the same rubber seal on my windshield as you did.

How bad a misfire? Just an almost imperceptible stumble every couple of seconds, or a more noticeable stutter? If it's the former, then a popular mod is to ground the ignitor, which often clears up the stumble. http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?52217-IGNITER-GROUND...-crispics

Did you load the engine while breaking it in? You should have run it up to decent rpm and load, then decelerated in gear to put it under vacuum pressure, about a dozen times, and used a straight weight oil, to avoid the extra additives. This is to seat the rings.
