Ok few points to consider. 1) The 7M block is different from one to the next. The only way to be sure your not going to have a bore size problem if you go larger than "stock" reccomended bore is to sonic test each bore to see how much material is there, then cut away to your chosen piston...

No, what I did was fill the accusump with oil and the piston all the way down on the gauge side. Then screwed in the valve and fittings, then hooked up the AN10 line to the engine. There is a schrader valve on the gauge side, and I put 10 psi of pressure on the oil to push it out of the sump...

When I looked at the MK4 rear brake conversion, I realized that to do it right, you have to machine the new bolt holes closer to the centerline of the hub to get the calipers as close to the new larger rotors as possible. (See how your pads are hanging over the edges of the rotor?) There were...

I used two washers and a 10mm nut, but I'd leave out one washer if I did it again as the high rpm oil pressure is pretty high when it's cold. (I'm not sure that with this pump, you could get it too high actually to damage the bearings, but it does cause the turbo to smoke if your pushing too...

I was using some West System epoxy to demonstrate boat and RV repairs, and that stuff is amazing. (There is a filler that looks like little fuzzy cotton balls, and when you add it to the epoxy, it becomes like mayonaise and stays where you put it. (It does not expand however.) When cured, it's...

Did this too, but I was even less excited about the #5 and #6 threads. Working the tap back there was a PITA, so I just took a cheap 3/8's socket, and drove the tap end into that, then used my air wrench to tap the holes after drilling them out using the same orange (harbor freight rules eh?) 90...

I've used the Mobile One in both the trans and diff with no problems at all. Also used Royal Purple. (And some normal stuff on other cars, but really have pretty much changed over to synthtics when possible because they last so much longer in a gear case use.) Have added, but do not think...

The rusted area needs to be removed as you noted, and a new part, or metal welded back into place. Then the inside and out have to be painted or your rust will just come back again. You might be able to find a good section of that rail from a wrecked Supra. I don't know if Toyota still sells...

So, here is an idea. Nice thick alluminum pan with the "lower" panel being made of nice thick alloy bent up into kickouts for each side. (Some impact resistance this way, but eh sides could be thinner material for weight and cost.) Rear mounted oil drain v/s the stock side one. (Less...

Awesome, I just recieved mine a few weeks ago, so any chance I could get some wires too? (Or is this just wires and the terminals that snap into the plugs? If so, it should be easy to upgrade the plugs so this works.) Let me be sure before I cut anything. 1) We still clip the resistor? 2)...

Posting this stuff is like writing the "Let's steal a MK3 manual V1.1." Stop posting your "exact" ideas, and things like the stock start switches. We all should know where they are, and how they work, no need to inform the masses... So, with that said, just pick your choice of critical...

I'm not sure why you want to replicate the Group A pan. Why not just have them make a larger capacity alloy pan that uses the stock pickup, but has a great baffle system built into it? (Canton can make this up easy, they do it for other engine's all the time.) Some minimum benefits of the pan...

Hey, one more thiing about CA that I find amusing. (And sick actually.) I read that they are impounding and taking away cars that are caught street racing? Also they are impounding spectators vehicles, and if your convicted, you lose your car? Wow, that's totally stupid. Who is going to stop...

The "fog" lamp on the Euro spec Supra's are required by the French IIRC. (And possibly some other Euro countries that deal with very thick fog on a regular basis.) My A8 has one built into the left tailamp, and if you turn it on, it automaticly turns on the front fog lamps too. Note that...

Yes, if you look close, you can see the shiny metal where it is cut down slightly more than stock. (The stock one is cut out, but you need to make those cut out, or machined down areas wider than stock, and slightly deeper than stock to get the Pauter rods to clear.) Any more stroke, and the...

Well, that's my point. If I was going to do this, and all I wanted was more displacement, there are MANY other choices that would be about the same money in the long run, and yeild even more power potential. (IE the small V8 force fed on some Masterpower turbo's... ) You can get a 7L small...

Well, my experiance, with a upgraded FMIC, and retourqed stock gasket was that it did not go untill I ran over 21psi, and had a slight detonation event... then it was toast. Of course, every car is different, and your experiance might vary, but I think running 15psi or less on pump 91 or...

I'm with IJ and Figgie, beyond the nice drink and tool holder, the plates are really not going to do much but look great. The lower panel is another story, and I belive sealing up the lower panel as much as possible is a good idea. As is keeping the stock type foam seals between the fan...

Yep, WIX or Purolator are good spin on filters. Best setup is changing over to a Canton/Mecca spin on adapter with the full flow depth filtration. (About a 100.00 but it's worth it. No bypass, and they flow more dirty than most paper filters do brand new, so you get less pressure drop across...

The bypass valve is not a bad idea. (They only open up under extreme vac conditions right? Like if your filter is really dirty, or suddenly it's immersed in water, the valve's open and you suck unfiltered air, but it's air without any water in it unless your bypass is also under water...) How...
