    Clutch adjustment.... Can you?

    Yes, it is adjustable. You have to adjust it inside the car on the master cylinder push rod.

    poor idle after warm restart

    My question is why is everyone chasing fuel pressure when it has already been shown to be good? FP falling off should only extend crank time and maybe make it hard to start. The pump is making good pressure when it's running. My car does the exact same thing as grim's car and it does it until...

    poor idle after warm restart

    Fuel pressure bleeding off wouldn't affect it at idle, only when starting. My car does the same thing on warm start, idles off the charts lean at about 17.5-18.0. I would start checking items such as the ECT sensor or the IAT sensor, sensors that the car looks at until the O2 sensor is warmed...

    Oil pump drive shaft bearings and hot tanking

    Wouldn't it be a better idea to remove some material from the bearings rather than size the shaft to fit the bearings? The bearings from my knowledge are one solid material, unlike engine bearings, so it shouldn't affect how the bearing works as long as the surface of the bearing is round and...

    Fuel System Upgrades?

    500hp at the crank probably wouldn't require two pumps, but 500 to the wheels probably would.

    Im new to the supras and need some help

    If you're talking 450+ in crank hp, then that should be attainable. 450rwhp is a little high for a 57trim. I'm putting down 377rwhp and 400rwtq with a 57 trim at 15psi. Good luck with your build. SAFC-II is what I'm using, but I will say it's far from the perfect answer. SAFC's are a crude...

    need advice for rebuilding motor

    I'm running JE's .020 over and Eagle rods. I'm running about 15psi of boost and getting about 377rwhp and 400rwtq. None of that matters though if you're cruising at highway speeds.

    I have .20 over JE's and Eagle rods. Same setup as kwnate and he makes over 800rwhp. Should be good to go.

    Rod knock... i guess...

    I would pull the engine and tear down the whole thing. You already have to pull the head and the lower end apart, so I would pull the engine, it will make all the other work easier. Oh and did you retorque the headgasket after a few warm up and cool down cycles, the studs may have loosened up a...

    need advice for rebuilding motor

    Wow, 17 is kinda low unless you are talking around town. I get 28mpg on the highway and that's with a 57trim, 550s, lex, Safc-ii, full engine build(stock cams), and a 5-speed. If you are not going to make more power than an upgraded ct will give you, I would recommend passing on the cams. The...

    Car won't start after Timing Belt Replacement

    Yes, it very possibly could have been put back in wrong. I would reset the timing marks and set the cps per tsrm like quake said. After completing this I bet it fires right up.

    camshaft/head stud question

    Yeah, like 92teal said, pics would help. I can remove my head without taking out he cams, so like poodles said you may have aftermarket cams.

    Je piston/wrist pin clearance

    I believe you have the right size pin, I would be worried more about if the Eagle rod is holding the pin too tightly. There are clips that hold the pin into the JE piston, this piston design is not a press or heated fit like the stock ones. As long as you can rotate the pin and slide it in and...

    Main Bearing Question

    I would also have the mains in the block checked to be sure they are straight. If not, you need to have the block line honed. Not sure if this is a big problem with the 7m blocks, but I had it done on my rebuild.

    clutch?

    It all depends on what your plans are for the car? Do you plan to daily drive the car or are you racing it? How much power are you making? Mod list?

    Weird misfire problem

    Hey everyone, I've got an annoying misfire that I can't figure out. My car has a 57trim turbo, 550's, lex afm, and Safc-2. I was out trying to tune the car today and I get a misfire around 3k-3400 rpm then it clears up and is gone. If I bring the rpms up to 3.5k and accelerate it will still...

    Hurst Line Lock

    Umm, that's a good picture of a master cylinder, but I have my linelock hooked into the other line coming out of the master. I have tried it and it works too, so I know I have it hooked to the correct line. I believe the front line goes to the front brakes and the rear to the rear. Correct me if...
