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

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

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]

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

[Pub24/7]

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

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

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
