so i might just be paranoid but i want to make sure this mhg is fine. its a titan 1.4mm btw. here it seems to be stained by something or another. it isn't through the viton. here some of the viton coating got rubbed off by shipping most likely. i have a feeling its fine. i...

omg. you don't have to hot tank it. if the machine shop is somewhat updated they will have a different tank that they can use. in cali hazardous waste laws are way strict. all the machine shops around here can't even have one if they wanted to. i would never pressure wash a block with water...

bougth a BIC testpipe. cut and welded to length. i think 9" from end to end sounds familiar stock being 11". could be wrong though. to lazy to source or make flanges. btw i love how my car sounds. i get compliments all the time. i usually roll with the silencer to be more stealth. doesn't...

the kit dm sells is just a overpriced ebay gasket set. lol. i have used them and they work fine. i just don't use the egr, exhaust mani, valve seal, lower timing plate, and thats about it. all the seals and other gaskets have worked fine for me. i find it funny how tons of people dog on shit...

^NICE! glad that pulley could be put to use. now we can go on a cruise. that is once i get my new motor done. :icon_mad: phil should have his z going soon to.

^dude if you didn't noticed the select fit bearings for the rods only vary .0009 and the mains .0006. thats not even a solid thousands of an inch. so really they aren't going to make up for much wear. that assuming you had a 1 in all of them. when really most of the 7m's i have torn down have...

with my rebuilt r-154 and v3 i can shift so fast boost doesn't fall off really at all. that is shifting and letting off the gas. 4th to 5th is the only one i still have trouble with. thats because its not to often i'm pulling hard past 4th. i don't like to go that fast on the hw. so not much...

sorry to say but expect to see something along the lines of this when you see the crank...

:rofl: omg my guts hurt. that was hella funny. to the op don't give up. you have a clean car. all it needs is a motor to back it up. btw don't just swap out the bearings. pull the motor and go through the whole nine yards. it will pay off in the end when you get 100k out of it. gl.

^zum was joking about checking for rod knock by hand. lol i agree that you should just change the hg with a stock composite one. if you know what your doing it will work fine. and why the fuck would you rebuild a motor that just blew a hg if it had a recent rebuild. doesn't sound like...

^i agree. a oem toyota clutch with a resurfaced pressure plate will easily hold over 300whp. i know for a fact. its all about how you drive it. if one wanted to they could burn up a 500hp clutch with a 300hp engine simply by slipping it to much all the time. i would say at roughly 400whp is...

weird. the last Clevite's i used just a couple months ago said mahle group made in austrailia on the mains and mahle group made in japan on the rod bearings. whats up with that? and where do you get NDC's? a google search didn't come up with much. edit: now that i look at the old clevite...

my bad. i was a little close to the answer. lol. so IJ what bearings do you recommend for over 400whp?

dude you have to go somewhere else if you already think they're sketch and you haven't even been there yet. i live in like the middle of know where and we have a local machine shop that has up to date equipment and are well known around town. then agian this other one that did the work on my...

what ever you do don't lower the compression. the rebuilt block in my car has a 2mm hg with .024" removed. ran it at the last autocross of the year. off boost power sucks. my previous motor had a shaved head with stock hg and arp bolts. the torque on that engine was amazing. it would dam near...

i've ran worse without any problems...

give your block and crank to the machine shop. they will let you know what needs to be done. they are most likely going to go bore the block so you can start with nice round and straight bores. the crank is the one where often it can be left alone besides a polish to be on the safe side. if you...

try like 4-5 on spr. and 50-60 duty cycle. its hard to say though what will work for you setup. each car is different. i remember slowsc or something along those lines has the truboost on a single 1.5jz. i asked him and he said he got the best spool/steady boost with spr at 2-3 running...

what is it set at right now?
