Toyota supra chat thread

[TobyCat]

soo, last friday I start up my car and it starts this really nasty clicking sound...pretty loud. Turn it off. Check out under the hood, start it up again, same thing! As I'm poking around and the car is warming up it slowly started to go away.

So it does this now for about 1 minute every cold start. Not sure what it is, but it changes with RPM. Rad fan clutch maybe?

[NashMan]

clicking umm well that is new one but ummm fuck i don't know


got to give a bit more then that for any clue on what it is as is were it is coming form ect

[Paradox]

tobys car is running!?

[Enraged]

indeed

got the wiring terminals, so i can rebuild the ignition harness. forgot to connect the wideband to the maft pro, and i should install my electric fuel pressure gauge...then just have to put 2 more wheels on it and i can get it out of the garage. and ryan has to fix the fuel filter

some other minor things like taillight module and horn, interior bits, etc, but its pretty much driveable now.

also, i dropped the spare head off at JB yesterday for a resurface and to install the new valve springs and seals. Once I get it back I get to helicoil the exhaust studs, and get to learn how to reshim the cams! should be interesting.

and the car will need a major detail, anyone have recommendations where to take it?

[Enraged]

anyone else planning on going to PacNW Supra Nationals this year? July 16-18 on the mainland. I want to go, it would be great to have a caravan of island supras going.

everyone just needs to bug ryan to try and get his car done in time.

If you need the tool(s) for doing the shims I have them all. As well as shims (as I said before) Just call me if you need them. 2508576555

[Renthal]

heh i park in the same lot as ken olson..
he's got a nice silver supra that he babies
he drooled over my old red one

[Enraged]

wow, the head is already done, picking it up after work today.

and RYAN has to fix the FUEL FILTER

thanks Alex, what tools are they? going to be doing the shims on a desk, alot easier than in the car haha

[mr_baboon]

Its easiest to do the shims with the cams in (to avoid removing the cams over and over), so I've got the tool you need to push the springs down with the cam in allowing you to remove the shim.. I believe it's still in my garage. Once you compress the spring you juts pop the shim out with a small flat head. You'll also want a magnetic pickup tool.

[Island_Yota]

So I wanna get my car going. Still need ideas for a clutch, maybe il just get a cheap ebay one in and re use my flywheel till I can find an R154.

[mr_baboon]

buy driftmotions clutch and upgraded PP, its good.

can't find.. for the W58?

all I see is ACT stuff.

[mr_baboon]

Oh... W58.... I'd ditch that asap... there's not very many good clutches for it since it breaks under power.

interesting sound i must say


interesting indeed could be a bunch of things sounds like bent vavle or shitty oil pump bad oil filter bloack paassge ect


is it down in power? rpm dependent



best thing to do is get screw drive and go along the vavle covrs tell you pin point the sound


all els fails you can just drive it over here and i can take a look at it

ps i hate head colds

[Enraged]

head $free
BBC valve springs $75
new valve seals $35
Helicoils $25
Ryans old cams $100
Machine work $237 (had to chamfer the head slightly to get the new springs in)
$472

not bad, the machinist said the head was in really good shape. only thing is I noticed scoring on the cams, on the journals where they are clamped by the cam caps. how much scoring is too much? the caps and the head are fine, it's the cams I'm not sure of.

[mr_baboon]

Post a pic of the scoring Toby

the just need a light sand and there good to go i can do it for if you like

[Enraged]

two of the journals, they are all similar to this. i know they can be fixed, but it might make the oil clearance too big. For #1 its 0.0014-0.0028, #2-7 is 0.0010-0.0037, max is 0.0051". i also don't want to ruin the journals on this head.

were on cams is normal they just need light sand to take the high spots down they have been cheaked out by colt cams

i was going to run them but changed my mind and went big instead

[Enraged]

ill talk to the machine shop about polishing them, another option is to polish them then have them moly or teflon coated. i want to run them, and i dont want to pay $450 or whatever it is for BC cams... yet.
