It doesn't hurt at all to recheck them or anything for that matter, but over tightening will stretch the bolts and they will not hold correctly, if you do some research you will find this to be true.
ARP Bolts/Studs have a torque setting they are suppose to go to if you go over that then they are trashed. The Studs that you got should have the info with them on what to torque them to.
Go by ARP specs not just whatever sounds good.
Now that it has blown a bunch of coolant back out I know there is air in the system. I'm pretty sure it's a BHG, I will have it tested soon and once it gets warmer replace the HG and get some ARP's so I don't have to worry about it again. Also be a good time to replace all seals and get the...
I just bought the car and was wondering why I got a good deal on it....guess I know how. Oh well, needed to be done anyway I want to turn up the boost but knew it would be the end of it without it replaced.
How much did this tester cost?
The car: 1989 Turbo 5 Speed
I have done a lot of searching and read a lot of things and still having problems.
Here is what I have replaced or is new.
New Radiator
New Thermostat
New Radiator Cap
No Coolant Leaks.
The temp gauge comes up nice and slow and stays at a nice even...
I have noticed that some of the hoses are very hard...were the hoses always like that or just ended up that way? And how important is it that you replace it with a hard type hose?
I'm wanting to replace all my hoses and vacum lines as probably half of them are cracked or will crack and I'm sure I have boost leaks out the waazoo. Can someone point me in the right direction on if someone has a kit or what sizes I should go buy in bulk so I can cut them as I need them...
My name is Jason, I don't expect you to remember it we only talked alittle bit. I remember yours because Matt bought that 7mgte off of you and did his turbo swap. The only problem the body has really is right behind the front tires there are those peices someone used screws to keep on you can...
Hey Grant, I'm the guy that came to the Chicago meet with Matt with the his Greenpra this last year.
So what is your cost on a badge? I have no idea what Toyota would want I'm almost afraid to check.

I need to take some pictures of the engine bay, its really dirty now needs a good cleaning.
I just bought my first MKIII and am new to this forum, its an 1989 Turbo Targa 5 Speed. I have owned a few MKII and am working on restoring one now. Here are a few pictures I have taken of it. I really good a good buy on this one, I just couldn't pass it up.
the Cressy is runnin, its a very nice car for the price I would have bought if Matt hadn't.
The Supra is missin the rest of the intake pipe and the AFM. Remember this isn't a turbo engine but there is enough room to put one which may happen someday.
Droped the Engine in tonight, Hoping to fire it up tomorrow.
Will be painting the valve covers yellow at some point and probably the power steering pump tp cover up the nasty rust.
