the one that actually goes up flush against the block. the one that has to be machined with the block? does that have any bolts that holds it to the block? or is it just held on by the pressure fit studs and the studs that it slides onto. anyone?

Building my engine! I expected to have the car running weeks after the NA engine went down, bt problem after problem after problem left me two months behind where I wanted to be. Anyway I had a few friends come over and we built the bottom end up. 'bout to measure displacement and I'm going...

I have two MTX amps, 5601 and 5604. I'm going to get an RE SE 12 for the 5601 I have the experience (and friends with the experience) to make pretty much anything I want, but I really suck at designing stuff... no creativity. Anyway, this is my hatch (88 supra pictured, I've an 89) and...

So I'm going to be buliding up my bottom end Monday with a friend of mine... I was going to order a Cometic head gasket but they are 4 weeks on back order. Little too long for me to wait. Jeff at HPF says that with an RA of 20 or less, which is what my Machine shop said they gave me, I should...

What are the options to get rid of the power steering reseviour/pump and make it manual steering?? What different racks are avaliable? Any write ups of rack swaps around?

I have a 7M-GTE and a N/A Tranny. I need to buy a clutch kit for an N/A, correct? I'm thinking about the spec stage 3 kit. Sound good? Also, there's a 100+ dollar difference in the NA and turbo clutches, is that just because the Turbo clutch will hold more power? I don't know to...

I bought a used exhaust off an SF member... we refered to it as an "N1" I think I may have made a mistake, as I assumed it was an Apex-i N1... I don't think it is. The steel is most definatly mandrel bent, and seems to be of great quality, but can anyone identify this?

How hot would the intake manifolds get? I'm getting all my stuff powdercoated and the powdercoat will hold 400 degrees. would the manifold/s get that hot ever?

Has anyone ever powder coated their intake manifolds? I was thinking to do mine kinda silvery simply because all my other powdercoated stuff is VERY easy to clean and it would be nice to have myintake manifolds like that... and it'd look kinda nice :)

Is there a throttle body I can use that doesn't have the coolant lines or the vacuum lines on it? I'm not using either and I like my stuff to be as clean as possiable? Any ideas?

I had an NA engine and a Turbo engine sitting side-by-side. My Dad and I were discussing the stupid nipple cap on the coolant pipe that wraps around the back of the engine behind the firewall. I noticed on the NA it didn't have that cap. I was like, Whoa, Cool. Anyway, I just wanted to...

I just had a buddy wheelabrate/sand blast some stuff for me to prep it for powdercoating... not the manifolds obviously, just did those to make 'em pretty

I need to get a complete gasket set for an engine rebuilt. The shop I had do all my work offered me two choices. Fel-Pro - ~250 Top-Line - ~145.63 Over 100 dollars difference. I have no problem paying extra money for extra quality, but I've used a topline kit before...

this is kind of a wired question, but how many plugs to the Greddy P/H/W gauges have on the back? Let me explain... The eManage will read off Greddy gauges... I'm wondering if they run in serial (two plugs on the back) or if it can only read one gauge....

I'm about to put my GTE into my supra (as soon as I get it back from the machine shop ) I noticed a few members (IdealSupra, Dr. J...) running a GE Vacuum manifold... I love the idea of having everything clean like that, and having so few vacuum lines running... My question is, what do I...

My engine is out of the engine bay right now so I am taking this as an opportunity to clean my extremely dirty engine bay. While unscrewing/unbolting/taking apart stuff I found this little guy hanging onto one of the 2 or 3 bolts that holds the ignitor/coil bracket onto the chassis. What...
