movin right along. keep it up. i wanna see this, cant say i'm a fan of the motor yet but i am a fan of the innovation and know how. good job.

sorry man...that stb is ftmfl lol

just wondering Ian, why does the fact he made the pull in 3rd gear make it bogus? Would 4th be better? Why does it matter?

thanks guys, i'm gonna tear into her tomorrow.

lookin good

well guys.....and gal.....fuck my life. well...motor is a fresh rebuild, first time i've gotten it started up and running decent (so i thought) since the rebuild. I had lots of attempted starts, enough to turn a brand new set of plugs PITCH BLACK, so i found out that was why it wasn't starting...

it does it when oil pressure is at 60 psi though. and the trans is a 5 speed installed on the motor and dropped down in the car along with the motor.

yes. new toyota bolts torqued to spec

Alright thanks so far guys. But just for clarification, i thought rod knock was steady not (k means knock) k...............k....kk.....k.kkk..............k.......kkkkkkkkkkkkkk....kk....k.........kkkk.....and then stop, there is no pattern really. Think some fresh bearings would solve this? If...

tear down and rebuild? What do you think it is? Why never run it again? isn't rod knock steady and doesn't go away? It was extremely loud from the beginning, never got any worse, and isn't there all the time.

i couldn't tell you honestly ian, i gave my builder the manual i had at the time (chilton's, i was unaware of the tsrm at the time) and i told him to follow it as he would a bible, and he said he did so. He mic'd everything and made sure shit was to spec (he said)

no exhaust smoke either, even with an open 3 inch dp no cat, on a fresh motor, if that helps

46-50lbs at about 900-1100 rpm with shimmed pump, relocated filter, and rc7 fc cooler. the other day it was at about 20 but that was when it would barely stay running and it went up. I know the idle is high, but i just got it running still got those kinks to work out ya know? pulled the first...

well...motor is a fresh rebuild, first time i've gotten it started up since said rebuild. I had lots of attempted starts, enough to turn a brand new set of plugs PITCH BLACK, so i found out that was why it wasn't starting. I had an old pair of plugs laying around (i figured they'd be fine for...

i couldn't find any automotive so i used just normal radioshack electrical cleaner(10.99 for a little ass can) which got rid of the code 24 (air intake temp sensor) i had yesterday. But i now have a code 31 (air flow meter) Hopefully i can bum one off my friend tomorrow. We'll see. Still runs...

On a fresh rebuild around 18 should be fine from what i've heard. You can have a driveablity tune put on it right now because you don't need to be WOT for that and it'll be in the lower rpm's since you aren't supposed to see more than 4k during break in. You having any studdering or dying problems?

Its nice to drive it...but its not in condition to go very far right now lol. And as far as i know the wiring harness is good?

drove it tonight guys....found out i have a broken heater control valve (gonna bypass temporarily) and a fuel trickle from using too big of a copper washer on my cold start injector. Upon first getting it started it would idle fine, but it would want to die really badly when i would hit the...

got the oil leak fixed :icon_bigg and think i have the starting issue fixed, i think my base timing was off so i'm in the middle of fixing it and hoping to start up today!

yeah man! Lookin good, i got mine to start but it wont stay running for more than like a second i'm in the middle of re-setting the base timing right now so yeah.
