    Turbo eclipse question(running without turbo)

    Done it before on 3 different eclipses. just unhook the wastegate arm and call it a day. And tell him to bead roll the end, tig weld a bead on the end, or get t-bolts. and the car runs fine, just slow as shit compared to boosted.

    Engine Balancing?

    my motors revs like it has a lightened flywheel, rev matches like a honda, and when your shifting in "racing" type situations it seems to fall right in the right rpm to match the next gear. and BTW, i have eagle rods and probe pistons... i vote 100% necessary. this is also on a stock...

    Oil Pressure drops :(

    10psi per rpm... if your sitting at 3000RPM on the highway, 30psi is fine... side note: your cold pressure on a stock oil system shouldnt go above the supra system is High Volume - Low Pressure 40psi anyways because of the pressure relief in the oil cooler housing right off the block. some...

    water lines on GT turbo keep coming loose

    Why not turn the fitting up instead of down? the housing gets bigger as it gets closer to the flange... and the coolant system is pressurized, so i wouldnt matter which way the coolant line is turned... just an idea for the future...

    Oil cooler causes oil press. drop.

    on the coldest day i started my car in the winter(shimmed 5mm, redline 5w30, cant remember if i was on dual filter relocated yet...) i hit over 100psi... but it was sub 30 degrees... on stock gauge. and i wouldnt measure the pressure at the filter... thats RIGHT after the pump, so of course...

    valve stem seals

    suprarich sells a set made by cometic for less than $20 if i remember... but you have to be SUPER careful when installing since you can press them down to far and it'll rip the seal right out.

    BATTLE VERSION adjustable arms

    IJ... I honestly thought it would have saved hell of a lot more than $7.... but i guess when you get 100+ of something made it drives the price wayyyy down compared to what i could make one for... and knowning that 90% of mk3 owners are cheap... i figured a cheaper arm would actually...

    91 supra totaled, fix it?

    The problem is hes in CA... and swapping a turbo motor into an n/a is technically illegal... sure you can get it BAR... but in the long run its just to buy a turbo shell/car.

    91 supra totaled, fix it?

    i've seen quite a few VERY clean supras come up on craigslist in the past 6 months... do you not have the money anymore to buy one? i'd consider selling my 90/turbo/targa/5-speed... as i need a more "economical" car for college... some decent supras...

    leakdown test results not too good :(

    Are you sure your intake valve wasnt cracked open a little? you may wanna go back and redo cylinder 1... wouldnt hurt. And if your plugs are covered in "fuzz" (burnt oil) then its your stem seals, but if your plugs are fine i would say your turbo needs a rebuild. from the sounds of it its...
