Yeah- 41 yrs old here, man. It's a car from 'our' period, after all. Good luck with the build! :biglaugh:

OK. This car is officially kicking my ass. Today I got lots of progress done, but didn't get to the finish line as hoped. I started off by degreasing the engine compartment, and began shoehorning the drivetrain in: Then I started hooking everything up. When I got to the new lower...

At about 8 psi and a stock ct w/ maft in blow thru. i was getting 260 rwhp. I would expect you to get at least 300-320 with the 57 trim @ 12psi.

Yeah, I always hear about the 'crank the car' method, but have never tried it. The other way is to take off the lower tranny cover, and have a buddy block the flywheel with a prybar or something, and you use a big-ass breaker bar. That always works.

Well, it's finally happening- progress. Today was rainy, so I didn't get the motor in, but I did do some last minute work to the oil cooling system, and I finally mated the engine and tranny together! As I mentioned, the remote adapter was going to interfere with the turbo's outlet pipe, so I...

nice resurrection, dude.

Well, got the input shaft seal today, and dropped it in, no problem. Then I FPIG'd the cover, and all done. Thanks for the help guys. : )

Nobody? I figured the heavy guns on this forum might know the answer to this one. :icon_bigg

Hi again guys, I searched and found mention that there is a difference in 87-88 and 89+ TB's, but no specifics except for the mention of the idle screw. What I'd like to know is, is there a difference in the TB's as far as what TB gasket you need to use, because my TB doesn't match the gasket...

Yeah, the toyo tool is the one to get, not those others posted above. In fact, one of the tools you mentioned zumtizzle is actually a valve adjustment tool- meaning it's designed to allow you to chenge valve shims, not remove and install the valve spring assemblies. I would have bought the toyo...

Well, I removed and replaced the rear seal, no problems, and I removed the bellhousing and input cover, and popped out that seal as well. I had to order the front seal, it'll be a few days till that arrives, but that's ok, I have to wait a few days anyway till I have time to install the drivetrain.

Nice work- so when do you think it'll(the motor) be back in the car?

cool. I'm going to pick up the seals tonight, because the motor/tranny might be going in tomorrow.

Hey now- I've been driving this sweet 94 Civic DX auto with 3 of it's 4 13" hubcaps. I'm in the middle of my engine replacement, so it's the Civic for now. But you know, the more I drive it, the more I realize how incredibly fast this rocket is....I'm thinking of selling the Supra...

Sounds like you're doing almost the exact same prep job as mine. I used the tool i post #5 on my build thread- http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?t=47861 it was made for import and motorcycle engines. The metal tool you see is the installer. It has an adjustable depth collar...

Hi guys, I searched, but only found a mention of this about a 1jzgte- How hard is it to replace both the front input shaft seal, and the rear ouput seal on the R154? Do I just have to pop out the old, and pop in the new one on the rear, and for the front, just unbolt the front input shaft...

I used to drive the 7mgte w/ w58. Like everyone has said, it's a great combo, but you'll need a better clutch.

I bought a gauge pod 6 years ago. It's not an A-pillar replacement, just the pod, but it was for a 2nd gen eclipse, and fits great, with pretty much zero modifications. Painted it with a maroon paint, and it's a perfect color match.

Sweet! Congrats on the payoff to your hard work. Get the exhaust done so we can see some flyby videos. : )

Well, I pretty much completed the engine now, and now it's time to mate it to the tranny. Unfortunately, that'll have to wait till after the weekend. :icon_mad: Here's how it looks as it is now; One thing kinda sucks, though- I just found out that my remote oil adapter - the part...
