5m-ge future engine mods?

yea, the big trick with porting is use some dykem (metal dye) or a sharpie, color your surface and score your gasket faces in so you match them up well. then just go slooooow. i only spent 12 hours porting on my 7m head, but i didnt enlarge the inlet ports at all or gasket match anything, i just cleaned up the shrouds, guides and short side radius.

standard abrasives actually has a pretty good walk through on their site if i recall.

haha, believe it or not, your not the only person thats made an offer on it. i had one for 800 and one for 1200 as she sits, but i wanna keep it now that i found one for such a good deal. and yea the mazda should pay for quite a few parts i hope. like i said, if it doesnt sell, im throwing a S/C on it and swapping around mafs and injectors, tossing on a SAFC2 and seeing what happens. possibly a KLZE swap after the supercharger heh heh

ill make sure to keep you updated with the talon on my end, you do the same man. also, on the 5m i wanna know whats goin on with it!

cheers.

i think i might (just what i need, more time online haha) ive been looking up a ton of info on there as it is. thing is, between the massive amounts of helpful stuff ive already found on there, and my freinds here that are dsm heads, idk if ill even need to haha.

i probably will just to show the car after i fix it. and just share my experience and learn a bit more too.

my freind also just told me hes got an 87 turbo supra he wants to sell me, its all complete besides the tranny (and i have another freind whos got one of those). he wants to sell it to me for 500 bux so...haha, ill wait on that a bit tho.

wow you get great deals, so wish I was in your shoes haha! I'm so far in debt it I'm struggling to get ahead. You definitely have more potential on your dsm then I do I have no one to "show me anything only tell me. Maybe you should quickly fix up the mazda sell it off and get the supra? seems like a solid deal and I don't doubt you really want one.
Ya I'm on there (buhay6), mostly in the Canadian forum/ newbie forums checking shit out. All so lots of funny stuff in the hangout forum 'n such.

haha, yea, thats usually what i do. i look for deals and am really good at haggling..idk why tho. the mazda i think will be a quick fix and sale. then either pick up the supra or finish the dsm. i might need a lil break, so ill prolly fix the dsm, and if i find a tranny, pick up the supra.

sounds like a solid plan man. I cant remember if you need pistons or not but I suggest evo 9 pistons if your doing a rebuild, they have a better compression ratio and less hot spots.
