LOL I was wondering if I was even going to confuse anyone. Yeh I got bored; what do you expect at 3 in the morning? :icon_bigg

Fun part! So intense...I never had to pull and tug so much to get bolts off. First up to bat, is the oil pan! First base is loaded... OUT!! Strike 3, 2 outs... The left-hand batter, rear gasket, comes to bat. 3 Outs!! The teams switch places. Base 1...

No offense taken; I don't know too much about electrical. I'm asking because I don't know. Okay now I think about it. I think I know what I did wrong. For the relay, I connected three ends for the fuseholder. I did not tape off the end going into the dash. I merely fused all three wires...

as in the relay or switch? that light actually doesn't turn on for me anymore. =[ it used to work; I think I just blew the bulb for that one, I never checked. I don't exactly understand that method. Is he not splicing the relay up at all? The way he worded everything sounds like he is...

Here's a link to the 86-88 UK TEWD. I don't know if there's a difference from USDM or UKDM but here is what I found. http://www.turboninjas.com/mk3supra/others/86-88%20UK%20TEWD.pdf As for splicing it to the defroster, I somewhat followed dylanwiggins example. He did his by wiring it up...

Okay starting off I have an 86.5. I know that is crucial information because I guess the wiring is categorized into three sections. The pre89 does not cover 86.5; they're a separate entity? 86.5 87-88 89+ Someone can correct me if I'm wrong. So this is what I did: I cut the...

Yep I agree with Moy. I love the sound of NA and plus I do not want to deal with the turbo maintenance at the moment. This car is to be my daily driver and sort of my fun car. If I somehow end up blowing this 7m, then yeah I'll get a turbo motor :icon_bigg But since I'm new to toyota, I...

Yep, sorry forgot to update my list. Yeah I'm getting new rings and pistons. Trying to decide which to get though...I want to get OEM toyota AISIN, but I can't seem to find them? I keep finding oem toyota NPR...and if they're NPR I might as well get them off ebay mizumo for like $40 instead...

Thanks CyFi, I'll ask the shop next time I'm there. So far I got a quote on how much everything will be. Deck and hone the block - 160 Install new freeze plugs - 35 Resurfacing the head along with a valve job - 210 Polishing the crank - 35 Installing new exhaust studs - 35 So it'll...

First idea failed me miserably so I got aggravated and pulled out this. And with a little time, patience, and brute force it came off! You can see here what happened with the first idea. So anyone have an extra crank laying around?! I'll be needing one...sigh. Up next, off came the...

Here's some more work I did on the motor. Took off some more junk off the head. Here's the EGR cooler Some various brackets Camshafts as well Now the gear on the camshaft is a bit scratched...is it good to take it to the shop before I reassemble back in with the...

I don't quite understand this part. I know I have to slap the rear timing cover on; I didn't know about the tensioner but I do now. And I understand the head gasket size measurement now. But how do I determine whether the shop's machines can meet the requirements of the head gasket I'm...

pms replied! little update: tried to degrease my pistons and the gunk wasn't coming off...so I decided to leave them in for a bit. well school and work slammed me and i forgot I left them in...so when I went back to them there was mold growing on the damn things >_< so I took out the...

So are you saying it doesn't increase my head gasket security?! And no I do not know what kind of head gasket I pulled off the engine; I thought it was interesting as well. I just don't wanna deal with a BHG in the future; I wanted to eliminate that problem. So with that said, I thought...

just took the nearest ones to me (out of like 7 pairs?), and those happen to be it! I'll take a pic of the all sandals for you guys lmao. I honestly don't really know what work was done to the motor; I bought it from a shop with 55k miles on it. I'm staying na, and I thought its good to put...

lol too bad they ripped during the process of removing the crankshaft haha. darn asian sandals can't hold out for crap!

For this engine, I mainly just want it to be reliable and not having to tear it apart again for a while. I'm just basically doing a full engine overhaul and replacing as much as I can. So far my list sits at: - HKS MHG 1.2mm - ARP head studs and bolts - New exhaust studs and bolts with...

HAHA got you on check :icon_bigg Too bad it's not white. =[ I actually just finished getting that z31 up and running in that pic.

(Darn 20 post limit, haha) Started to expose the rear seats After about 10 minutes or so, the seats were out. And so were the wires. There were some other wires that ran through the dash...and it was incredibly hard to splice my new harness into the dash wiring in the...

Alrighht everyone...I just want to make this car reliable and look good. So let's list some current plans and goals I got going on here. The engine sitting in her now is about to take a shit any time soon, so I bought another 7m and is now sitting in the garage. I'm planning to do a major...
