    *7M Crank RPM Limit*

    Kurt: Ohhhh big $ to go to 9k!! (I'm fairly comfortable with the idea of 8k but man 9 takes some doing) If you do get there a video is compulsory ;)! Brian: Didn't realise it was dumping to atmosphere! (now I know this it seems reasonably quiet!) Everyone else: If you haven't grabbed...

    Rattling sound under engine RPM increase, any ideas?

    Not even close to the crank with 5.5 qts.

    External oil pump

    Way back I made this using GRotor gears from a L24 Datsun pump.

    External oil pump

    Have a look at Aviad's site and Moroso's for starters. Fabricating the parts needed is going to cost a bundle. Put a post in Defiant7M's thead as well he'll be running dry on his stroker.

    I/c sprayer using headlight washers

    Jeff: You could use the rear screen washer as it'll squirt without the wiper coming on ;). My turbo supplier mentioned this the last time I was there that they had a customer car with a too small IC that picked up 30 HP with a water spray.

    EGT pre-turbo vs. post-turbo -- a direct comparison

    Econ: DOH yes that's exactly what I meant ;) My "guess" on the egt's is our cars run pig rich above 75% throttle so this gives a cooler egt but maybe with the DDP it's flowing a bit more? The post turbo EGT's being high could be from an afterburner effect when the unburnt fuel in the rich...

    101MM Stroke 7MGE

    Allan: Saw the thrusts there but will wait and see what I need for the new motor! What sort of RPM limit are you looking at for the stroker?

    EGT pre-turbo vs. post-turbo -- a direct comparison

    Thanks Econ! It's interesting on graph #2 where at times there are opposing spikes with the preturbo going high and the afterturbo going low!

    *7M Crank RPM Limit*

    I downloaded a vid awhile back I think from memory it's title is "Slowass Mk3" where a red Mk3 with a black hood and black Mk4 wheels is doing a demo and I've never heard a supra rev so cleanly and so hard I'd love to know what's done to it! <edit> Just Googled it and it turns out it's Genna's...

    New Vendors? Misc vendors?

    Cast another vote for HPF from me I've just dropped a big chunk of change with them based on DrJ's recommendation and all dealings have been timely and professional!

    *7M Crank RPM Limit*

    I think that's well beyond the scope of what we can achieve Allan. I'd be happy being able to baseline a port open it up and see if it flows more or less. I'm quite happy to poach someone elses research if the data is there but after all it's just a road car I'm building so I'm not chasing...

    cylinder head porting theories... and such

    Flub: I use a ring of PVC conduit to protect the valve seat. I sort of understand what you mean by rifleing the port, I'm thinking of building a primative flow bench and will try some theories on a junk head before attacking the new one!

    You have to explain it's a Mk3 Supra Not a Celica and no it's not the same as the one in the movie! (F&F)

    *7M Crank RPM Limit*

    I think a lot will come down to the head work Allan! I might take you up on your idea of building a gumby flow bench! Did you see the dust extractor hooked up to the bead blasting cabinet? It will be a perfect vac source!

    *7M Crank RPM Limit*

    Thanks Guys! Good point about the stroke I used to spin my 427 to 6500 routinely and from memory it had a 3.7" stroke with a huge lump of a piston, the 7m is around the 3.5" with by comparison light small piston. I'm going all Ferera valvetrain so buzzing it shouldn't be a problem...
