[Slate 85GTS]

Well this sucks... i just wrote an email to 935 motorsports in regards to my Cometic MHG to see what the hell is going on. They replied and it now looks like im no further ahead than i was on January 2nd when i ordered the damn thing... :2finger: They said that cometic is going to remake the gaskets as there was an error in two of them and they withheld the whole shipment. This means if i stick with my order at 935 it will be a bare minimum of another month until the gasket is even in the mail to me. Robert at 935 said all he can recommend is to refund my money and refer me to another company in florida, which i think is Titan Motorsports. This sucks... im not sure what to do from here... at this rate i might just leave it off the road and wait for the gasket to come from 935... i dont want to have to rush it together.

[NashMan]

here bob go here and buy one best place there fast

i had no probs wiht them at all

http://www.horsepowerfreaks.com/viewproduct~Toyota~Supra_86-92~~Engine~Head_Gaskets~.html

[Slate 85GTS]

They dont stock a 2mm with the 86mm bore though. So i would have to wait anyways.

[islandsupra]

Bob, you should email Duane, Allan told me that he had a good supplier for Cometic stuff when I was talking with him about redoing mine a while back. At the very least it may be worthwhile asking!
Probably easiest to get a hold of him through the other forums... I have his email but don't know it offhand.

That totally blows though.

[Paradox]

duane@carbonfibrefx.com

why not just go HKS?

[Slate 85GTS]

Maybe i will try and do that Reuben, thanks man. And Murray i dont think my block is smooth enough for an HKS. Thanks for Duanes email address too :) I have just emailed him, i will see what he has to say about it. I can always cancel my order at 935 if he thinks he can help me out sooner.

[NashMan]

just get one from freaks they all have stock bore of 86 on all gaskets perttty much cause that is the max boor you cna do to a 7m

[Slate 85GTS]

86mm bore is not the standard bore size. It is a special order gasket. As far as i know, horespower freaks does not stock the 86mm bore gasket for the 7m in a 2mm thickness. I have emailed them to confirm this. I wont know until they respond. If they do have it however, then i might cancel my order with 935 and reorder it at horsepower freaks. Im still waiting to hear back from Duane as well.

[NashMan]

yae my down pipe is all hooked up nice and divorstded liek it shoudl be

[islandsupra]

wha?

[Enraged]

bob, why are you set on using a specific bore sized gasket? i was under the impression that it didnt matter?

try calling AAP, their number is listed on www.aapmotorsports.com . i ordered my IC from them, good service and they will pricematch.

[islandsupra]

well, I ended up getting a late start today and only got the rear suspension and sway bar on before dinner.
I just got back from checking it out, and man does the swaybar ever make a difference - it's way stiffer. Probably a good 15 lbs heavier too.

I guess I'll tackle the front tomorrow. I jacked the front up just to check all the bolts and they are seized pretty good. Sprayed them up and hoping I can crack them all loose tomorrow :)

I'm not sure about the downpipe because our welder is out of gas, and the tank is already gone to get refilled. But if I have time I guess I'll get started on the knock sensors as well. Gotta take advantage of all the tools and garage space while I can!

[Enraged]

wheres my trim yo?

:) hehe let me know whats goin on with it. you going to mount the wing too?

[islandsupra]

ah, guess what..... no paint yet!
I dunno what's going on dude, I only talked to Cole for like 5 mins yesterday when he got into town cause I was under my car when he showed up.

We are all gonna go out tonight and see all the old faces though so I'll talk to him later on today and let you know what's going on. I think he needed to know the paint code or something - not sure.
But I'm off to play with the front suspension now. I'll let you know as soon as I find out Toby!

But I just saw my best friend in the whole world tonight, she just walked into the bar here and I haven't seen her in like 11 years. It was nuts cause nobody recognized anyone but soon as I saw we just ran up to each other,
Kinda weird how after so many years you still remember so much stuff.,,,
but anyhoo - the suspension is awesome, I suggest you guys put your swaybars on! I got a few pictures but I'l kinda loaded so I might try and post them up tomorrow or something.

[Enraged]

cool!

[NashMan]

hey toby can i borrow you tsmr book i kinda neeed it sinc emy car is a pos

[Slate 85GTS]

Toby, it just depends on what company the head gasket is made by, some of the factory replacement ones are 84mm which is fine but like cometic for example sells one that is 83mm and thats no good if your engine is overbored.

Ryan I'm sure you will get it figured out soon enough. We all know by now that nothing is ever that easy... and wiring is a royal pain in the ass.

Hope you get it figured out soon though dude, it'll be worth it all when it's done :)

[NashMan]

i did some studing and i think i got it figured out i don't think i have a good open cerkit relay it whou8ld explain why i have no pump actiona dn no spark but i think it is connect tot eh ecu as well btu that light comes on

I know he was pretty busy because they are swapping a new engine in his car this week. I'll call tonight though - and I'll give you a ring as well just to see what's going on.

Glad to here about the progress Ryan! I gotta try and make another trip down there before I go back up to the boonies again for the summer - hopefully can see the car.

Bob, make any headway/decisions on the HG situation?

Anyways, I'm out.

[Enraged]

oh, i didnt realize that hehe

Ah, last time I talked to Bob he was thinking about getting a refund for the gasket.

Boonies are Port Mc-nowhere... looks like I'll be back up there for the summer, I am getting quite broke now so I won't be in Victoria for at least a few months if ever.

But I plan to make one more trip down there before I am gone,we should all get together and do something :)

Oh, Toby I talked to Cole last night, he said the paint was ordered but he's not sure when he'll have time to spray cause he's going to the autoshow this weekend. I'll have to kick his ass in gear pretty quick or something :P

[Matt6003]

Originally posted by Paradox

they never started fixing it, and they knew that was the problem. They decided to wait till they talked to me, which was good, because im not spending $2100 on the head gasget, when a turbo engine at bwood salvage is 1400

[Paradox]

oo so turbo swap in the future? :)

or look for a wrecked/parts car like the one reuben found. his car had everything needed and he paid what, $1600 or something for it?

[Slate 85GTS]

Well my supra runs... ive got a code 51 to take care of and wire in some guages and my dual electric fans and it should be ready to go. I bought a TPS off of Dr.Jonez from SF so im hoping that its ok... he promised it was good but i know for a fact the TPS was adjusted when i put everything together... so hopefully now its come out of adjustment for whatever reason... hmm, we'll see i guess.

just pull it apart and use contack cleaner

don't use the condutive gresh on the points at all eahter since it can get wedged between the contack and fuck some shit up

[Slate 85GTS]

Ok, i finally got it all running sweet like i was trying to. Got rid of my code 51 now and was able to set my base timing. What do you guys think i should do as far as my BOV? Recirculate or vent? I made a unit up to recirculate it and i was fully prepared to do so but it sounds sooooo boring... its almost quiter than stock when i recirculate it. But if its gonna be stalling and backfiring all over the place still like it used to then i would rather recirculate it... any opinions?

[Enraged]

what kind did you get? i never had any problems with my HKS as long as i paid attention. like after a full throttle run, putting the clutch in, just give the throttle a quick blip and it wont stall.

[Slate 85GTS]

Its the same one i have always been running. Its the Blitz Dual Drive. Its really not that bad actually... and it should only be better now that i have a good TPS. I guess i will drive around for a bit with it vented and see how it goes. I just remember it bugged me a little when it stalled the very odd time but more less it was the backfiring that drove me crazy. Not to mention hard on things.

i think you back fireing was cause of your bent vavle

as in it stalling meh you never really have the prob at your curennt power akak no fule mods

stalling yes if you go full out to stop it will stall just don't do that and you be fine ps not many poepel have porb wiht back fireing any way's

io had pop ones in blue moon floowed by nice juicey flame

plus you have afc so if it tuned right you should nto ahve prob

and fi you still ahve prob stalling just ajust your buter fly about 100 to 150 rpm

[AVNGinger]

well i have to replace the rear shocks, so i think while im dicking around with that, ill go with lowering springs, now how much of a drop should i go?

[Enraged]

get eibachs or H&Rs. Eibachs are a moderate drop, H&Rs are low.

[Paradox]

thanks a bunch for the 57lb supra diet plan, ryan!


car felt fine on the way back, but a stinkin' cat ran out infront of me and i had to jam on the brakes... half the parts in my car went flying forward, think i scratched up the interior a bit :(

temps are about 210-215 with like 98% water and 2% water wetter, not a huge drop in temp but im sure the airflow is a ton better now :)

[Paradox]

Originally posted by NashMan

not to mention the total lack of aftermarket support and i'd hate to have a 1jz blow on me. gonna be a bitch to rebuild or even get parts for since not many people have a clue how to work on the damn things.

only real benefits for ian is the 5spd, but compared to modding out the stock engine i just dont think its worth it....

build up the stock auto and find a shift kit for it, there must be something in a manual valve body or even something like the suprastick electronic shift system out there.

[TouringTeg]

yah right now I just want to lightly mod the v8. intake, exhaust, and nitrous.

The 1jz is so cheap and it came in the soarer so the intall is fairly straight forward if I get the soarer 1jz. Its supposed to easier than the sr20det swap. I don't see any complaints about support but certainly if you went to build the motor I wouldn't have any choices. I can put on fmic, big turbo, big injectors, standalone, without any troubles and have plenty of hp to get me into trouble. The 5 speed would be a lot of fun too like you said!

nash where are those 1jz's at in vancouver? price?

[NashMan]

well if you really wana run there in van i thinkteh price wiht trans i thinks was like 1500 look int eh phone book and you will see it

they import jap mtors the guy who answe the phone hard ot make senc cause he has really no english skillz

but i still would go 2j 3.0 1j 2.5 with bigger turbos suck need the displment for les lag and lag is gay plsu i see 2j on ebay alot and there not that exp and wirieng them up is not really that hard at all if you have some fallowing the wire skill's

plsu the 6 sped does fit down side is the shift will sit about 2 inc back bit nto is no big deal and tranny suport you can just amke one and then get it wedled up

but that si all i really want to say to get off my chest

[TouringTeg]

1jz = came in soarer in japan which means you have to extend 10 wires ! bolt in.
2jz = waaaay more wiring. 4x the price !

I'm not prepared to spend 8-10 on a 2jz.

[Paradox]

why go from a v8 to a 2.5 liter tho? even for the 5spd i couldnt personally justify it...

guess if thats what you want kudos!, 1jz would be original atleast.

btw ryan i found some gun-metal'ish paint in my shop and painted the upper I/C pipe. gotta buy some more for the rest....

looks ok for now

btw ryan i found some gun-metal'ish paint in my shop and painted the upper I/C pipe. gotta buy some more for the rest....

looks ok for now

http://www.pxi.ath.cx/vis/members/paradox/engine/04-14-05/DSCF0001%2EJPG

looks good

[Paradox]

ryan you got a helmet for sunday?

i might go

[NashMan]

yae i got hellmet you can use

[Slate 85GTS]

Anyone here know of anyone that wants to buy my supra? Im realling interested in selling it now. If i could get $5500 bucks id be happy. Email me (bob_cotton67@hotmail.com) if anyone is interested and i can give you my mod list and some pics... Its got a fresh Cometic MHG.

[NashMan]

well that is kinda out of the blue sinc you just got it runing or did you go for gas and say wtf these is just no worth it any more

[Slate 85GTS]

No... ive just decided that its time to move on... i cant afford to keep putting money into it or afford the expensive gas for it or anything anymore. I figure right now its all in prime running condition being basically a fresh rebuild and stuff its a good time to sell it... only problem is im selling it at a loss but thats pretty much par for me. I will probably end up getting a bike with the money from the supra when i sell it.

[Enraged]

you can get more than that for it

go to the local high schools and put up posters, you will get lots of interest :) just be sure to state "no test pilots".

if i were you i would ask at least $6k, preferrably 6.5. i paid $7k for mine...

[Enraged]

oh ya, i (we) made progress on my car today! ryan helped me get the head on, then he proceeded to pillage my trim... if the weathers good tomorrow ill finish torquing it down, install the new taillights, and clean up the places where the trim mounts....

[Slate 85GTS]

I know i could get more for it... but i just want it to move. By selling it cheap i was hoping someone would jump on it right away.

[Enraged]

hell, id buy it if i had the cash...

[Slate 85GTS]

Yeah, well i think i might insure it coming up here soon and then drive it around until someone shows some interest otherwise i might have to keep it anyways... Not many people with money these days it seems. But id like to sell it and get a bike or something i think.

[NashMan]

i am very impressed wiht the rx7 it took out some fast cars

5.0 mustange some truck and honda civc wiht b18

not to shabbies for my crap car

and i had poor tration at start and figured it oput after 3 runs and got good tration and stuff all so took out hop up 240

[NashMan]

well to i got my fan all rewired from 12 gauge to 8 gauge and i put in better brush's i was thinking it whould be an easy job but it kidna was pain in the but

but now it flow more and i don't have to worry about fan fires no more

[islandsupra]

Hey Toby, yeah sorry I haven't gotten a hold of you yet - it's been a hassle around here with exams and my roomie moving and now me trying to move this week.

But Cole said the paint just cracked everytime the trim was picked up. I know what he means because we tried priming and painting some of them peices when I was down there the first weekend. Sand a peice and prime it, then just tested to see how durable they would be and they all cracked.

We stripped them down and re-primed some peices too and still no luck. He'd be more than happy to spray them for you when they are on the car though, it would just be easier that way.

Anyways, give me a call if you want and we can sort things out if you don't hear from me. My brain is just sort of all over the place right now. But my number at home is 754 2338 and cell is 619 3919.

[Enraged]

ya, i talked to him, im picking it up tomorrow afternoon. i had the same trouble with the longer peices cracking. the small ones are fine as they dont flex much. i mounted the new taillights today, and im picking up some new foam tape tomorrow, so hopefully i can get everything together by the weekend. once the cars on the road ill take it down to him so see what he can do. how much do you think he would charge me to respray my front and rear bumpers? the rear is faded and the front is losing paint around one of the foglights...

im going to see if i can make the alternator dropdown bracket by the weekend. should be fun working with the 4" bar stock :)

[Paradox]

your Rx7 has just as much rust :p and the engine was cheap!


the 13b is awesome compared to the 12a too, much flatter torque curve and 30 extra HP. not to mention you can mod em out easier and still keep somewhat good gas mileage (better than the 12a atleast)

Supercharger kit? wha? :D

you know the more I read about the 1j and 2j paradox the more I want 2j. If I'm gonna do all the work may as well go big!!

When funds allow I want to build up a nice 2j motor with big single etc etc. I need to get my wheel business off the ground quick !

yupper's 1j's are just not that great sure there a good motor but the 2j is so much better and aftermarket is so stroung for ti

oh yae don't get the 2j form japan it us spec one

[Enraged]

another possible option is a 1.5JZ. it uses a 1jz head so you could have the easy swap of electronics and such, and then it uses a 2jz 3.0L shortblock.

it was never really broken, i guess one of my plug wires came loose, and thats why it was acting up. Since I took off to europe the day after, I never really had a chance to look at it before my parents took it to Beacon Auto.

[Paradox]

[Enraged]

ryan needs an alignment bad haha

car sounds wicked man, but those seats are way to small for me lol

[Enraged]

if you guys need any silicone connectors, chris at $$$$$$$$ has them cheap. the single 2.75" one i got for reuben was $13, but if you buy the 3 foot length its only $35 i think he said. ill be picking up some reducers and some straight peices if anyone wants to spilt a 3 foot length.

[Matt6003]

nice ryan, glad to see your car is running again!

[Paradox]

i want my stinky Rx7 to run!

did you get alignment done yet ryan?

[Millsy]

Hey guys, I have a question about going NA --> Turbo with the NA block, head, intake, etc. If I was to buy a turbo, what else is needed? I know one of the Supra guy's in Vic did this swap, but I can't remember who it was.

Also, I found a Garret T3 Turbo for sale. Here is the description in the ad:

"Garrett T3 turobcharger.
Completely rebuilt and never used.
Original Equipment on Ford 2.3L OHC engine found in late 70's - mid 80's Mustang / Capri.
Turbo designed to fit into into intake manifold, I have manifold and will throw in no cost.
It requires new internal waistgate for O/E operation.

Will Take Fair Offer!"

He's asking $250, is that a fair price, or should it be cheaper/more expensive?

Is that compatible with the Toyota 3.0L I6?

Thanks in advance for the help. When I get home, I'm going to research it more on Supraforums.

Cheers
Shane

[islandsupra]

If I were you I'd look for the stock ct-26 turbo. It'll be much easier to swap and they can flow quite a bit.

Or if you wanna get fancy... I know a guy selling a greddy 20g kit, complete with a polished mani and custom L&R stainless DP for ~$1500 (I'm still dreaming of buying this myself, I think it's one of the best suited turbos for our cars).

[Millsy]

I'll keep on the lookout for the ct-26. Is it hard to rebuild a turbo?

The Greddy kit would be nice. *Drool*

[islandsupra]

I wouldn't want to attempt to rebuild anything yourself.

I remember hearing that Ryan had an extra ct? ANyways he's the one you want to talk to anyways.. his car used to be N/A

[NashMan]

well up date car runign fine it's all broken aliment is done and it will ahve to be re done in like 1 week or soe since i ahve to break in my polly bushing since the car is so stiff

all els fails and it don't get any better i might just sell my shock and spring and get coil overs or just take my shock off and do some loseing up wiht eh spetion wiht crow bare in said of aiming for every bump int he road to b4reak the spetion in

it is getting better thou


oh yae the broze clutch is cratter master but it still no where never being broken in on off type of deal ish some what


still ahve to do some my tinking aropund but blaaa it be all back to norm soon it runs that si all i care

turbing a n/a can be done but you are kinda limted to lower boost since the ge eletroince and ecu can not compsate for boost that much

not saying ti cna be done but if you don't knwo car's to well i whould not bother

but if you are the type opf person that says it blo3ws it blow then go ahead


you can swap teh g5te eletoice over and it will work right

but fi you are doing that it be cheepr to just buy a turbo motor or front clip


but if you where to just turbot he na and keep it at stock boost you most liyl will nto ahve any prob's


as int eh studff you need for eahter way you wana go give me pm and tell yae


oh yae don't rebuild your turbo you cna nto do it

in less you are just swaping center section

i think SF was closed to registration lately because of a lot of noobs and hacking attempts...

you might try registering again, otherwise i have no idea how to help

[Veovius]

Nah, I registered a long time ago, when I was looking for a supra, but one day I found myself banned :( Tried email the admins, no answer, 3 times. Registration's closed still, I just want to know why I was banned, unless they banned everyone under 30 posts or something..... I even remember seeing you, Enraged and Ryan posting :p

[Millsy]

I know they de-activate some accounts if they are inactive for a short period of time... Maybe thats why?

[Veovius]

Hm...maybe one of you could ask the mods to reactivate me? Pwease ? :D

[Matt6003]

I've been inactive on there for some time now, and I've only posted a couple of times, but my account was never deactivated....

[islandsupra]

The guys on SF are a bunch of dicks anyways.

[Millsy]

A lot of them are. I remember when I was a newbie there, and they just jump all over you. Its pretty stupid. I only use it as an archive or B&S.

Yeah, same. It was really nice to keep up with Supra tech, as some of it is universal, and occasionally made me lean towards getting one :p

Plus..there's the thread that everyone loves ;)

[islandsupra]

you don't even need SF to get that :D

[Matt6003]

err... which is the thread everyone loves??

Heh, you know which one ;) Mike's thread

[TouringTeg]

my name is TurboLS on sf. I started an account way back in the day ! The drama between the big HP drag supra guys is funny stuff. Check out the drag race forum for details

[Veovius]

Yeah, so what was the deal betwen that Woon dude and the other guy (same name twice dude)? I heard they had a bet for $10000 on who would win a drag race...Who won?

[Enraged]

Saad Saad?

SF sucks simply becuase of the large majority of MKIV owners on there dont consider anything but a MKIV to be a "real" supra...

[Veovius]

Yeah, Saad Saad, the weird double-name :lol

[islandsupra]

I've been of SF for probably close to 3 years now, and have way under 100 posts. It's awesome to look up info and stay current with the new ideas people are trying - but unless you are directly asking a question (which you always get harassed about anyhow b/c "it's already been asked") or answering someone else's questions, posting there in next to useless.

i'd like to see that Saad Saad video.... altho i may have already. hmm

ryan you punk, you shouldnt have to worry about EGT's unless you are running 860 degrees or so, that is melting point for stock pistons, you will only really see these temps when you run the car for extended runs at high speed tho (say running 150kph+ for more than a few minutes)

750 should be nothing for your pistons in short bursts
