im not sure to be honost, i doubt u'd need to reflat it, it'd do that when u bolted it back on as they can bent a little, the other 2 sheets are just like gaskets, remind me of the turbo gaskets on my ol v6, sealed good....

all i can say is it looks mint! i doubt it'd ever blow

heads back on now, bolts in but not torqued. ill do that when i can be bothered..

hooked up alot of wiring and random lines, bloody jap cars and too many looms

i also covered my cam lobes in engine assembly lube so that i dont do damage on first start and the bolt thread on the arp bolts....

ill get stuck into it tommorrow night and probbly finish up on the weekend got offered a LS1 VX wagon as a company car (full kit hsv rims etc) but companys insurance wont cover me on it holding out for a subaru liberty turbo that might be up for grabs soon :P

[PaRaDoX]

made some progress, its mostly back together now, just need to fit top half of manifold and cooler piping / some wiring and it should be done

[Pub247]

Oh, disapointed Paradox i was looking forward to hearing that it was running again. Good to hear it's almost finshed. Will it be your first Drive in it?

[PaRaDoX]

[PaRaDoX]

well its all back together now, tried to start it with no luck (as expected) ill pin point why fairly soon

[Pub247]

Any luck yet paradox? or are you till the weekend to get into it

[PaRaDoX]

weekend!!!

hehe i got a work car which is a Honda Integra

ill try and get it started tommorrow! anywho im all dressed in a suit and im about to go out party

[Emackulation]

Hey gordon, what do you think of this car?

Used TOYOTA SUPRA 64MA71 Turbo 1988 - Queensland - CarPoint Australia

[PaRaDoX]

thats a 1G-GTE

twin C12A on a 2L i6, good for top end power and nothing else :P

plus, they usually go for lots cheaper, 7M-gte's are more pricey and 1jz are expensive

[PaRaDoX]

ok sooo ive been a bit tied up in other things, pretty much lived at work for the last two weeks and any time ive had off ive spent keepin the missus happy + tryin to catch up with the boys + sleeping

anywho, all cyc's are now at 150psi (8.5:1 comp)

im ready to refit the plugs and find out why its not starting... i must say its not the easiest bloody motor

[PaRaDoX]

Its running, going quite well aswell... shes got a high idle from what i thinks a vac leak, but i still came onto boost on a quick test drive... looks good to me

just need to get it registered now

[Pub247]

Good work mate what ended up being the problem with it not starting something simple?

[Wagon_Wheel]

Good work turbo!

[PaRaDoX]

problem i think was old fuel in the lines, remember it hadn't been started in a year...

and it wont start anymore but i suspect its out of petrol... as it was VERY low

[PaRaDoX]

Actual first start

YouTube - Supra First start!

[kniever]

it might not have been old fuel as my mates probe was sitting in his backyard for nearly 2 years and we hooked up a battery and 2 litres of new fuel (was 1/4 of a tank still in there) and it started pretty much 1st go, altho we had to connect a the vac lines and put the leads in the right order as his mechanic didnt want him to start it

[PaRaDoX]

yeah i dunno, brand spanker battery i need to get some more fuel for it today, i dont think the clutch pedal has much more adjustment in it ill have to pull the pedal out and fiddle i reckon...

also the o-ring on the Crank angle sensor drive gear went, (2c O-ring)

so it is leaking oil from the head once it starts circulating, im loving the oil pressure gauge in the dash, its measured in kg/cc^2 but i converted it, its for 0-2-4-8 as the measurements, 2= 28psi and 4= 56psi and 8 = 112psi... oil pressure sits round about 3 so im happy

also indicators dont work via the stalk, but hazards work... i should have the oil leak fixed, and ill set timing to 12deg static (as per toyota manual) and then ill be laughing, id probbly have it registered soon if i didn't have other things on. i could def afford to get the rwc but not pay reg atm.


anywho.. should have it running again today with no leaks.. once i get a permit ill go fill it up with petty and take it to the car wash

[PaRaDoX]

ok i've been busy so far

* replaced o ring
* reinstalled CAS
* set static timing
* fixed belt squeak
* fixed vac leaks

starts easy now but i think its down a banger, could just be plugs

we'll see what happens, worst comes to worst, i rebuild the motor with forged everything...after all... its a project car

[Pub247]

Compression fuel and spark is all you need you seem to have good comp so its either fuel or spark. When i did my timing belt on the 929 it sat around for 4 months before it did it. Comp and spark were fine turned out the be a blocked injector from sitting around so long chucked some cleaner in and took it for a spin and it cleared up fine.

[PaRaDoX]

hehe, i retested cyc 6, its holding comp, it idles really rough, i cant figure out why it was fine yesterday, maybe the fuel filters blocked?, i reckon i might pull the plugs and inspect them + new spark leads

oh well im also going to replace the ground to the coil packs, and recheck firing order..

i don't like how the ground for the coils goes to the head im going to rerun a thick ground to the chassis.

[azkwazere]

leave the head/block earths just run ANOTHER thicker earth to the chassis or even straight to the batt....

Hurry up and make it a 10 second car!

aZk.

id rather not clog up the neg bat terminal, i found a empty bolt hole on the chassis and grounded it to there, seems to run better,

i went for a spool up the street last night... missed heavily under load (like when i had a loose ground strap on my v6)

i was lucky to get back the 50m i travelled, didnt stall but any other gear but 1st and it had no power.... and on these box's first is damn short

ill take it for another quick spool 2nite

[PaRaDoX]

ok so its going aight now,

bit hard to start when cold, its not as powerful as it could be i think somethings not %100. and i over heated it on a test drive earlier tonight. i think the water pump may be seized? i might pull it off and take a look...

found a side indicator too!!!! got a pair for $20 insted of $75 for 1 lol

anyway i still snapped 2nd with chirp many a times lol...

[kniever]

whats the update with this man, ya havent written for a while now
