Sorry for the double post...damn phone

I'm no mechanic but I wouldn't think it can hurt much...just let's oil get past the intake side and into the exhaust..maybe eventually gum up your valves or cat. Other than that just the embarresment of smoking, but I would get a more qualified opinion. Like I said I'm not a mechanic and a...

^ not sure what all your looking for but the post above yours seems like a "good guide". Minus the pictures that's just about everything you need to know....thanks Suprapowaz, I was going to post the same thing yesterday but hadnt got around to it yet. What did you use for a spring compressor...

Man I really dig the interior of this car. Very subtle but aggressive at the same time. this is the look I'm going for....nice job.

Magnets, nylon string, and have someone else there watching for the keepers when they fly around lol.. One cylinder at a time, and go slow.

Yep seals are pretty cheap and fairly easy to replace..

No matter what engine you decide just remember it will be expensive to do it right either way. Personally I would focus on using your money on a stout and bulletproof engine rather than power goals. Once you get done with your well built engine, then you won't have to worry about going back in...

I have sort of a red theme going on with my build...and just realized I have had Ragunz engine shot as my screensaver for a year now lol. I wish I would have been smart enough to just wait until one like that comes along and buy it lol

the tsrm does pretty good when it comes to most of this stuff, and if you dig far enough into this forum I have came across some pretty helpful drawings and diagrams.. I was just too dumb to save them all.

Yeah both good points...

Cool thanks..wonder why they did it. Maybe they knew the oiling system was going to suck and left room for improved pump design Lol You know it does look like an easy place a guy could fab a spacer/gasket to stick in between the pump and the block to get the strainer to sit a little lower in...

Definitely threaded

Thanks man...another quick one...the two un-used bolt holes at the base of the oil pump...?

I feel really dumb for not knowing this but I can't find a picture anywhere... My machine shop obviously had to take these off to deck the block but they didn't put these back in and I forgot where they go does this look right? Sorry for bad pic...cell phone.

That is not the stock wing.

Your problem is the Lexus AFM and no 550's with the three inch piping and a big filter to add to the problem.

^lmao...not sure how to perceive that story...anyhow, I justwanted to add that when I first got my supra it was on intake, full exhaust, boost controller boosting to around 12psi (stock ct) an act stage 2 clutch, cheap bov, and some good tires. I'm not the guy that goes around looking to race...

I don't feel like going back through the thread so someone may have mentioned this, but are you sure your boost guage is working properly?

Lol @ Kelson...that car you got there could benefit from those gold rims. People would confuse your car with an sti
