i kidna got ketp int he dark when maken this manfold so i hope it turn out teh way i wanted it i ptu trust into kenny

[Enraged]

the throttle body flange is alot closer to the manifold... oh well, you'll see a nice intake manifold when i have mine on the car. i start school on sept 15, so i might get Neil (shop teacher) to TIG it for me...

[NashMan]

what's the diff the plemton has eghough flow for what i need you don't need huge plemton that all pletom is for to let the air expaned but the way the 7m runner's are is pretty good the way they ar made if you have plentom that has down side on ones and and stright section the other it will flow really well that si the reson why i ketp it kidna stock ish cause of that reson haven just big tube or big block has get spred of expaing on norm stight runner's

well injectors are here yae but ups sucks dixk 115 bucks brokeag fee

so i ampicking them up after work on thursday


damit i need my sfac so i cna make my neato thingy and stuff

[AVNGinger]

ookay, so i have either blown my head gasket or cracked my head...i did overheat on the supercruise but i pray it is only the head gasket, i started pulling apart my engine and now all i need to do is pull the head but FUCK i dont have the proper tool to undo the head bolts, i used different combinations of adapters and shit, broke em all, only got 4 head bolts loose......need more Snap-On

[NashMan]

well you can take the head off wiht grade 8 bolt and use the hex head on it

or go out and buy a alen key scoket

some tiem you have the pop the cams off to get at the bolts

[AVNGinger]

ok, so i went and got the PROPER hex socket with a 3/8ths drive ( i was using a 1/4 drive adapted to a 3/8ths before, all i had) and the head bolts came off like wicked shit without having to remove the cams

Now, just about got the head off, what should be on my mod list now that i have it off, keep in mind that i am broke now cause the gaskets were so fucking expensive.

[Enraged]

just replace any gaskets you can. i would also suggest pluggin the holes for the EGR and replacing the hard to get hoses at the back of the head.

my list to get done with the head off:
-plug all EGR holes
-machine head
-new valve seals
-helicoil exhaust manifold studs
-new hoses at the back of the head
-new nuts/bolts/studs
-drill and tap exhaust mani for 1/4" NPT plug (for EGT sensor)
-strip and paint exhaust mani and heat sheilds

im ditching the EGR, and might be making a forward facing intake mani (still not sure, dont have the right tools right now)

[NashMan]

well my intake manfold is done and it is alot better then befor but i still don't knwo if it will fit i hopping it will

[AVNGinger]

maybe ill put little fans in my intake manifold to make the fuel flow faster, LOL......lo.........WAIT, THATS A FUCKING GOOD IDEA!!!!!

[Matt6003]

So I'm gonna take a look at Bobs 87 turbo, sounds like a wicked deal. Hopefully the other guy doesnt pick it up first, because i'd love to grab it

[Enraged]

bobs selling his supra now?

[Matt6003]

Yeah, hes waiting to see if the kid who sold it to him can come up with the cash, and if not im gonna try to pick it up

[Enraged]

well your getting a hell of a deal, hes put alot of time and money into that car... your not a stupid kid thats going to write it off are you? hehe

[islandsupra]

I second the good deal on buying Bob's car. I can't beleive that he wants to sell it already. I keep trying to talk him out of it!

But anyhow, I might have a line on a good parts car, if I can get in contact with the guy soon enough. He didn't leave a phone number with the ad but I think I found a way to get a hold of him.

Anyhow, all I will be needing is the engine, and possibly the seats and doorskins if they are grey. I am thinking it might be a good idea to buy the whole car - then just let you guys pillage it, and my other engine once I have what I need.
He's asking 1600 obo, so it's probably worth it. I just hope I can get in contact before it's too late!! Oh, and the car is in Victoria, so if someone is willing to go check it out for me first that would be awesome! I don't know if I would be able to be down there in time or not.
If anyone knows anything about this car already let me know! It could solve my problems so fast. If this doesn't work out, the supra will probably end up being parked for at least another year. Nobody wants that!

Oh yeah, and if I do end up getting the whole car by some lucky chance, Bob gets first dibs on whatever his heart desires for being such a damn nice guy and helping me out with trying to get my car fixed on his own spare time... just offers to do it out of the blue. You are the fucking man Bob!!

I think Allan may be interested in the tranny... I need the engine obviously (but will have my other one) and possibly the seats and doorskins, maybe a few other minor interior peices. A friend of mine wants the cams and one of the PS lines. Other than that, everything else would be up for grabs. I would be willing to pretty much give whatever you want and I don't need to you guys before parting everything else out.

Just a heads up... and cross your fingers for me that this deal all works out.

[Paradox]

i third the idea of getting bobs car!

[Enraged]

i call dibs on the wheels and tires. burn them down to the cords....
