Oh damn. Well, I'm obviously not driving mine today either, seeing as how the engine is in one part of the garage and the transmission in another...

Yeah? Well, we are leaving in about half an hour. You should come over there. Shoot me a text if you wanna go. 208 eight seven one 4134.

Well, I decided to try out my design for an optical trigger for the CPS instead of the VR sensor design. After looking around online and not finding what I wanted, I remembered that a lot of robotics applications use optical encoder discs for speed and position reference, so I searched for a...

I would except I'm driving to mt Vernon to sell a carburetor to a guy and we decided mt Vernon was halfway.

Hey, I'm going to skagit brewery tomorrow for lunch and was wondering if anyone would want to meet up. I'm gonna be there around 1100 or so and would like to meet some supra owners if possible. anyway, let me know. I'm sorry this is such late notice. I just found out that they do $10 growler...

Hey thanks. I was concerned as well, but from the threads I read the hose is good well past the limits of what the engine is going to throw at it. I'm going to build up a hot motor while this one is running and it will be much better built. I do like the ARZ oil line, but at three times the...

Sorry for the lack of updates. I've been busy on the car. I took two weeks of leave to get some time away so I could get a bunch of stuff done. I've been slowly acquiring things like the 89+ 3 piece wing and 89+ tail lights. The wing was white unfortunately, so I had to get it painted to match...

Hey welcome to SM! I'm on Whidbey Island and I have an 86.5 parts car. If you help me pull the motor, you can have the oil pan and crank. I'm keeping the head and block to prep for a motor build one of these days. Let me know. The car has been pretty well stripped down, but it is an NA car with...

Yes! Come over this way! I have one week of leave left before I have to go back to work.

I had one question. Do I gave to use the ge ecu or can I use a GTE ecu?

Yeah, I just figured that technology now would be better than back in the 80s when the circuit was designed. While we are on the subject of the ecu, what is the part number of the vr conditioner chip? Or, let me ask you this. If it was you who was installing this, would you use vr or would you...

I didn't even think of that. I was about to design an optical trigger disc and mount that on there and use one of my infrared sensors. I can try that though. From what I read, vr sensors are simple but very susceptible to noise and such.

Hey, I am installing ms2extra on my 7mgte and everything works apart from the cps. I have yet to install it, but I bench tested it using a drill and it loses sync below 500 rpms. Now you may think that it isn't that big of a deal except its too low to even start the engine. Now, the clearance...

Kenny, I love your car! This is the motivation for my car. Someday I'll be able to afford to get a quality respray for my car. Your car is just beautiful though! The color, the xxr wheels, everything!

It doesn't matter. Anything that will run that program really.

Well, while I'm waiting for more parts to arrive, I decided to change the color of the lights in the climate control system. I bought an 89+ climate control unit from a guy on craigslist for $10 and thought it would be fun to change the light color while I was there. I saw what others have done...

Oh okay. I'm just wondering because where I am stationed, they have a machine shop and I am good friends with the guys that run it. If the Navy trusts them to machine parts for the j52 and t56 engines, then it should hopefully be good enough to do the parts on my engine. They are cheap to do...

How do they make sure the rod big end is round? I know about measuring it but does the machine shop bore it out or something?

Where is your build thread? I'd like to see what you are doing to it.

Long time since updating. Sorry about that. Been busy with housework and such. After much discussion with my wife, we decided to pull the engine out to go through it and upgrade some things while the car is apart. I plan in installing the cometic MLS gasket. I keep going back and forth though if...
