Going to give this a try. Need I mention that my Turbo A has EVERY performance mod available and is at 564hp @ 6900RPM if i see correctly. NashMan, what kind of tires are you running? EDIT: Just did a run with your setup NashMan and I still need the hand brake. Im currently running Racing...

Anything yet?

I have all the assists off but its still understeer happy. I have to throw the hand brake to induce the oversteer. My S13 easily power overs from factory even with the assists on so I can't help but wonder.

Has anyone been able to successfuly setup their Supra to oversteer in the game? Im having trouble getting the car to turn and dont like slowing down as an option. Also getting really annoyed with the snap oversteer. Feels like Im driving a AWD and always have to steer into the turn as opposed...

How simple a tuning setup are you guys going for? Will this be something that would have to be taken to an experienced tuner with a dyno or can we properly street tune with a laptop and a wideband?

7M's make more torque than 2J's... Horse Power wins show's, Torque wins races. 7M's easily make 500rwhp just dont cheap out and do it right. Search on here on building your motor so you wont be crying later on about needlessly spending money on your 7M. "99 out of 100 times the problem with...

7 plus years, maybe 5 or 6 months total running and atleast the last 3 months of it was bliss so im determined to finish and enjoy my baby as long as i can because bang for the buck, theres no better car than a supra IMO.

My .02 cents on the subject. The fan controllers have alot to do with the longevity of the fans. Some controlers just hard start the fans wich will cause current spikes (FAL Controlers are notoriouse for this) and melt the fuse. I'd also imagine that depending on how the wiring for the fans...

Heh, cyl 2 in the KA has a partially melted piston. Means I need to find another motor for the 240SX. That being said, seeing as I now have incredibly too much free time on my hands I've decided to start working on the body of the supra. Removed the JB Weld I had used as body filler on the...

Ok, port and polish are roughly done. Things have been a bit hectic for the past week or so. I was laid off in the end of October and the same day I was laid off the head gasket finished going on my Nissan 240SX. Applied for unemployment and am waiting for that. Been busy with disassembling...

What are you talking about Ian? If you are talking about cutting the valve stems, yes i did. What did i F@$K up now? Ok... Didn't really mess anything up, just slightly shortened the life of the valve seats...

Ok, I couldn't resist myself. It's been a while since I've bought anything for the supra and I had some money burning a hole in my pocket. Nothing out of this world but ordered a set of Beech Quick Disconnect Sway Bar Links for the rear sway bar on my car. The first set I got (wich was from...

Well im guessing the motor I got from 5Leater had a bottom end rebuild only. No head work was ever done. Hence the valve stem seal problem. I really didn't want to have to deal with a machine shop. Wanted to do all the work myself. But there ya go. Since I have to disassemble the motor to...

Ok. Ports are even. Can barely see the valve guides from the manifold side of the intake. Just a little more cleaning up and exhaust port polishing and were good. =)

Been talking to Adjuster and he says he cut the lower part of the valve guides out of the intake ports to keep the ports the same diameter all around. So that's currently what I'm doing. Progress might be slowed down a bit here at work. My service manager wants me to clock out when I want to...

Ok, done porting the intake, exhaust and turbo manifold. Exhaust manifold before: After: Exhaust port diameter: Before: 31.5mm After: 33.5mm Turbo manifold diameter: Before: 36.3mm After: 39mm Gasket diameter: 37.5

Ok, intake side is done. Yesterday: Today: Made an outline around the ports on the exhaust side about 2mm out. Going to start eating away on the exhaust side then port out the turbo manifold in order to keep the reversion dam and maintain the ability to scavenge.

Ok, been talking to Adjuster, and he said that on his motor he took the liberty to remove the valve guide humps. So for the past two days I've been working on that. Got all 6 ports looking good at the moment, but I'm going to finish up things on the intake side tomorrow. Taking the exhaust...

Ok, It seems the cylinder bores are within specs. Got to see when I have the chance to pull the short block and disassemble so i can measure the pistons and make sure they are also within specs. All measurements updated up top.

On vacation this week. Means no air tools and a lot of free time. Outside at the moment taking measurements for each of the cylinders. Using the pistons to keep my telescoping gauge level as I let it expand. I then lock it in place and measure with my micrometer. The trick for getting...
