Holy hell, thats after 50 miles?? Damn. You just convinced me to do the whole engine. Plain and simple.

No milkshake as of yet. And I hope it doesnt turn out that way either. They way I veiw it is, he messed up on something, what else did he mess up on. Thats why I d redo the whole engine instead of just the top end.

He was. Lol. Im more leaning towards keeping it and building a badass reliable 7m. Money is the key here though.

Thats the hardest thing to do now these days

It will be properly built. Im anal about stuff like that. Thats part of the reason why Im bummed about the car, because the guy seemed like he did the motor VERY well. But dont judge a book by its cover i guess.

I was more meaning it like, if I get this car running good and dont abuse it, will it last me years. But then again stuff does break every now and then. I knew it was going to be a money pit, lol, didnt realize it would be quite so quick of a money pit though. lol

Well, if I pull the head I want to put a mhg stopper on it. So Id have to get the block done for that right?

So Im getting tired of my damn supra. I bought the car about 4 months ago with a rebuilt engine, upgrades too. Well Im getting the real history as we speak. The guy blew out the turbo on the car, so he pulled the engine to freshen it up. He bored the block 40 over upgraded the pistons and...

youve been unplugged

Im with IJ on this one, fuel or oil? Notice any smoke or charred black crap all over the plugs when you replace them?

Perfect advice right here. Well said forcedtorque

Sure, you can rebuild it. Id say have somebody that knows a thing or two about turbos around if you do decide to rebuild it yourself. As for the boost leak tester, I have no idea how youd go about checking it out. I replaced all my vac lines and couplers out, to be sure I wouldnt have a...

I dont know your financial situation, but Id say save your money and but one from driftmotion. I think they are like 500-600 bucks for a 57 trim. You can drive the car without making the turbo spool to much. Thats the way I would do it anyways.

Too much shaft play will do more damage then you know. Go see if it has shaft play, and if so how much

:icon_razzFreaking PERFECT pictures man. WOW. That is amazing.

Has the hg ever been replaced on it??? If not, I would say the safest boost would be stock. Because bhg will happen if you start upping the boost. But my biggest recommendation, is just make sure your car is in damn good shape before adding hp to it. Trust me. Im learning the hard way with...

^^^Detonation... Well if your hearing a whistle, and it isnt the turbo spooling, then you have a leak somewhere. But some bovs will make a whistling noise, so your best bet would be to do the boost leak test.

when you here the turbo spool up, can you hear any whistle noise at all?

Sometimes its just easy to listen to the car. For mine, I ALWAYS heard this sucking noise coming from it. (engine running obviously) But I would listen and narrow it down to where it was coming from. And if the car is cold you can stick your hand in there and feel for where the leak is...
