    Hi Everyone (Update)

    Glad to see you got it home! After seeing how clean this is, it makes me sad to have gotten rid of mine. At least I still get to work on them :P And the ebrake/shift boots came from Empera (awesome work as everyone knows)

    Possible CSI problem?

    The most likely cause is going to be the switch. Check it per the TSRM, and when verified good, check for +12v and ground at the injector connector during cold start conditions (test light or noid lights make it a breeze). Also the injector itself should be ohmed out to about 2-4 ohms. TSRM...

    i am going out on a limb here, and i ask this in all timid-ness...

    i would guess that "it wont pass smog, knock sensor" means that the check engine light is on and thats why it wont pass smog. it most likely needs a knock sensor re-wire. if the motor runs good, and no bhg or rod knock, and the body is straight, id pay no higher than 1500

    Coolant leaking from metal cap under alternator

    at autozone (and any other parts store) you will find many many "rubber expansion plugs." they are designed to temporarily fix the problem. once you get the old one out, just put the rubber one in the hole and tighten the nut. all you have to do is measure the hole, and match one up that is...

    Dok's E85 powered 2jzge-T build

    Oil Squirters and Turbo oiling

    ok, the oil squirters are used to keep the piston temperature a bit lower. they are not absolutely required in a turbo configuration, however take note that most turbo engines have them. the oil send port is there, but its not drilled or tapped for the banjo bolt (m12x1.25). also, the drain is...

    What is the worst mistake you have ever done to your supra?

    #3: my most recent mistake is welding my hks wastegate "bottom plate" which happened to look like a thin flange. i had no idea until now. so my wastegate doesnt seal, and it lags a lot! #2: didnt drain oil after my first bhg job resulting in almost instant rod knock #1: found damaged clutch...

    cressida and supra 7mge?

    the head itself is the same. you wont have a problem there. also, the compression is determined by the pistons, not the head. na = 9.1:1, turbo = 8.5:1

    How can you actually measure a blocks flatness when..

    i measured mine with a level. keep in mind that the max warpage number of .003" is only good if the straightedge is touching the block corner to corner, front to back. the main places you will be concerned with is in between cylinders, and towards the front of the block at the oil pressure hole...

    Block tester accuracy.

    i am assuming that you are using a block tester that goes in the radiator filler neck with blue liquid that turns yellow if a leak is detected, right? make sure that the car has been at operating temperature, and that the level of radiator fluid is a little lower than normal. you cant suck any...
