oh i see. that very nice. Cool stuff man, and what kit did you use? and im assuming that the extra bucks for the pistons and astuff is just the stock stuff

oregonjoe · 09-08-2009, 07:02 PM

Ya, everthing is stock except for the ARP Head Bolts and Metal HG. Since the shop got the block so clean - might as well go all the way. Got the rebuild kit from the shop but threw out the junck HG and upgraded to one that would not fail after a few miles.

I have thread on this project at http://www.toyota-supra.info/forums/...e-rebuild.html in case you missed it.

Just go the block back in yesterday and now working on the head reassembly.

oh i see. Well i doubt ill get a kit from any shop around my town lol But i hope im as lucky as you with the block getting clean and all. It wld be nice not to have to replace all that.

Did you remove the block yourself?

yer i already checked the air filter, its like new... however i havent checked the plugs yet...the guy i got it off put them not long before he stopped driving it...however it was sittin out the front of his house for just over 6 months... so im not sure if she is running ruff cause there is still crap fuel in the system...but ill hav a look at the plugs, and also i hav a sneaky suspision that i hav a leaking injector...

ohhh...and my car is N/A ....im not sure how it works over there, but over here in my area of Australia we have provisional licenses for new drivers (new as in i dont have a full license yet lol) and because of previous years of dickhead young drivers who cant drive for shit (but they can crash really good, hahaha), they put restrictions on our licenses, so unless you have a full license now, you cant drive v8's,or any turbo'd or supercharged cars... FREAKIN sucks balls!!!

Nice little tool I borrowed. All hydraulic with a few control arms and engine leveler to fine tune the lift in and out. Was able to pluck that block out and back in with fine precision.

ummm im not sure...i mean i didnt take it off, i got it n/a haha...the reason im not sure is cause as far as i know its n/a, but on the intake there a coupl of plates on the top that are blocking holes (bit wierd if thats factory haha), and there is the hole and studs at the bak of the head where the NOK sensor for the turbo hooks up 2...are they normally there on n/a intake manifolds? and on the head? any ideas???...
i can take pics and post them on here if you want??? (cause i know sometimes i dont make sense)...i will jus hav 2 figure out how 2 attach/post pics in here lol

*D-Joker* · 09-10-2009, 12:52 AM
