    Engine Progress pics

    Very good job man! A few things I noticed tho: Those frost plugs I think they're called, the bare metal circles on the sides, won't they rust if not coated? or are they treated metal. And also, you don't seem to have the starter plate on yet your flywheel is already bolted on :rolleyes: it's...

    How free does the crank have to spin?

    nah, mine's fine. I'm a pro and I know :x: I took 2 bearings off and they were still fine, so when I re-did it it turns well, and I used some motomaster grease on all bearings and turning surfaces. Yesterday I put on the rear crank seal, and today I got it on my engine stand. I have to get...

    Torque Pattern

    TSRM says toque going on is inside out, coming off is outside in. If you use ARP they come with torque specs. Use their sheet numbers they are correct. Remember: putting on is inside out pulling off is outside in. Also alternate sides after each side ie: left side top bolt bottom bolt, go...

    JDM ECU and harness??

    I see no problems with the extension of the harness, I mean come on guys, the 1J guys do it for all their harnesses, so if you did it for the 7M what's the difference? I say do it if you got it, soldering is easy, it'l save some dough and match the ecu perfect :bigthumb: eric

    How free does the crank have to spin?

    Hey all, I just installed my crank, the first time i tightened the caps down, and it didn't turn, so I was like " hmmm, f&ck, I am f&cked!". I took all the studs out, and re did it, and now it turns when I have it all properly toequed down, but the crank won't spin super well. I need to use my...

    What else should I buy while motor is apart?

    How much horsepower and boost will you run? Maybe you should look into forged pistons since the engine is apart? Also, maybe some fuel mods like 550's and the associated stuff. But first, what hp do you want? eric

    What would you do?

    Good price. They look real, notice the cast lettering on the rim showing it is indeed blitz made. I would not get them because they don't suit my taste, but if indeed they are lighter, and you like them, buy them!. eric

    Very different and unique colours! I was looking at the pics for a while and your car makes things around it look like they are almost in night time. Those wheels are sooo black! And shiney black. Good job. eric
