    The act pressure plate came in today..... Ummmm errr.... you were supposed to be over here last monday remember? But anyway, I've barely had enough machine time to make my parts right now. So if you need anything machined you'll probably need to wait till I'm done with the 1uz swap...

    it's here at the house. the 7m comes out tomarrow, and if I can get the plate and mounts machined before the weekend, plus if all of the parts come in, (which I doubt). I'll try to get the engine dropped in.

    ANSI/ASME Y14.5M-1994 lol, he beat me to it. but anyway it's the standard you will most commonly find in use. Lawrence livermoor labs uses it, so san dia labs, and berkely space sciences labs ect ect.... btw... I do a lot of inspection work for these guys. ;) just keep this in mind when...

    the small feed isn't an issue. many people even use restrictors on aftermarket turbos all the time to prevent too much oil getting in the turbo. btw your being too picky.

    ansi standard would be ±.005 for 3 place decimals and ±0.0005 would be for the 4 place decimal.

    soooo here's the plate design so far. I used the cmm at work to verify the bolt patterns. Here's a screenshot of the files as viewed through mastercam9, and here's the design I have so far, with the howe throwout drawn in for accuracy.

    I'll be needing that too! I was just going over the wiring diagram for the engine and saw the need. I figured it was just another thing on the list of things to figure out before I can get this thing up and running. That'll be happening soon enough. I'm supposed to pick up the car from my...

    Great minds think alike, lol. Hmm. I might look into this if I have time. I've been all over your thread, good stuff! I just purchased a sc400 Tewd, so I should have the wiring covered, but if not I'll be sure to let you know.

    It's definately worth pursuing, I just Don't have the 1000-2000$ For one without a bellhousing. As for the mounts, I saw where the one guy welded on new mounts. But that dosen't seem very feasable because of having to source subframes as opposed to machining a whole new mount. I'll be...

    a little bit of an update..... and a side note.... I'm nearly finished designing my custom adaptor plate, but I don't have the howe throwout bearing to figure out how much it needs to be spaced out from the transmission housing. Does anyone happen to know this number off hand? the side note...

    Yeah, they're already lightened from the factory compared to the R154 flywheel, and you can still use the R154 clutch and pressure plates. The MR2 definately looks like a good candidate for redrilling, which should be no problem to take care of. and this cool guy is planning on making a full...

    And your friend is? I already purchased the plans, But I'm going to be making some moderate changes to their plate. Partially to accomodate the specific hydraulic throwout that I'm thinking of using. (more info wil come later) I got the R154 today, The guy also threw in a mr2 flywheel...

    I was seriously thinking about rebuilding the starter just because if it's lame location. But anyway, I found a R154 for a good deal tonight from one of the local mkiv guys, sooo there's another part I'll have to get going in the next 2 weeks..... I'm feeling pessimistic about the time frame...
