Well the Burgandy should be on the road by August. I recently cleaned the block and crank, put in new clevitte bearing. Cleaned all the front plates and water pump, you can actually see the aluminum now. The block has been hoaned and awaiting pistons. My oil pump was cleaned and checked for...

Hey, ill give you directions to the house and you can just drive the car out tomorrow if you want but i dont know if i will have time to work on it or not. you take 46 west after you pass JC's and CVS you go untill you pass Country Club road and take the next left, it will be old nashville...

So you do not open it up before you start your car? It just sits charged all the time waiting for your engine to lose its oil pressure. Then and only then will it open up and dump in to the main galley.

How much was your accumulator? How is it activated? Could you send me some pics of your set up?

That's why you work for free when it comes to the supra!

no kidding, I have been turning out parts here at the local high school on their cnc mill and lathe.

well their is the first problem, you should never cast a piece that is going to be threaded. Or even be an adapter that has to hold pressure.

How much was your Accumulator? How are they activated? Is it an electric solinoid?

Sounds like a cheap adaptor, if it broke after being removed once.

I know, I should know better being an engineering student an all... Well if every thing goes togather good and it all works and fires, I hope to never need to be taking it on and off.. what breaks when you unbolt it?

Now thats a system that I could live with. How much money are we talking about though?

I am not running a thicker oil to increase pressure. I am running a 10-30 Rotella T. I am just running diesel oil for the anti-wear additives. Because modern oils have pulled out ZDDP and all kinds of anti-wear lubricants. I do plan on running a remote filter head and cooler

Ok, I sent a PM to qwikstrike.

I plan on breaking the engine in on shell rotella T, diesel oil. Then after my first 5-10K miles switch over to synthetic oil. What kind of oil pressure is everyone looking at with a shimed pump?

Well I need to do some thing; I figured that since our pumps were not up to the level they should be that running it just a little faster would help. I am not talking about running it a lot faster. I know we can shim the pump but that is just going to rise the relieve pressure. I have seen...

I have been looking around for about 3 hours now and I can not find it. Does any one here know what the flow rate in GPM on our GTE pumps are? I am trying to calculate how much smaller I need to make the drive gear to increase my oil flow and oil pressure because I have noticed our oil pumps...

Thanks for the greetings. I need to get on here and start buying parts, so i can at least get it running and driving. I can always modify it later. It will be a fun project I'm sure.

Hey guys, This is my supra that I acquired from Jon of MDC Motor sports. This supra is missing lots of stuff. So ill be looking for lots of advice and help on my supra because i am new to the imports. So far I love them. As far as the car goes, the body is in great shape, but has no engine...
