Yep i did try to research my question on here and i found many threads close to it. But i also saw IJ say that he just used a stand alone tranny cooler and didnt reroute the lines through the Rad(for bringing the fluid up to temp.) Some thing about the auto tranny having a low pressure feed...
Hi guys, I was just wondering if i could clean out and use one of my extra stock oil coolers as a tranny cooler.
Now i know the bigger the better, but would the stock oil cooler size be even a slight upgrade to the internal radiator setup?
I have a nice aftermarket Rad from my old manual...
Oh yeah don't get me wrong, I love the 7m. The swap i was talking about is rebuilding my 40k mile Japanese motor and putting that in :P
Soo a super secret project huh? Sweet!
I already started cannibalizing my other car anyway lol! The Crank bolt was easy to get out, i just put the car in 5th gear and used my man strength. However, its going to be much tougher to correctly get the bolt IN my car, I suppose i could do that trick with a torque wrench set to 195lbs, i...
Yeah that was my plan, i already have the driftmo turbo kit, and the engine (despite 3 BHGs) is still running strong.
So i started taking it apart, the woodruff key is a fine metalic powder now, and the crank pulley bolt is missing, long gone by the looks of it, just the belts were holding...
I havn't started building the other engine yet because my other supra still runs, i was planning on just selling that car.
Still not sure what sort of engine I want to replace this one with, if i need too.
Yeah i'll have to do that, i was only able to get it on wrench tight since i was at work. so it might just need to be torqued on properly first. But it seems like it catches and does spin when its idling, but not while driving.
The engine has been through 2-3 BHG's "None from me, lol" sooo...
I know right! Turns out it was the Crank pulley bolt, it was laying on the ground under my car, fucker was just free-ballin it omg.
However i put it back on and tightened it and now none of my acc's work, no power, no batt, no fan... might be too tight but i thought it needed 180 pounds of...
Haha man, i think my Torque converter just rattled loose, I just got to work and it sounded like it was about to fall off, might have to tow it home :S
I do want to head out there soon though, hopefully its just a few loose bolts!
Yeah i'll have to head down there some time, been meaning to since ive never really been in that area.
Also on the quest for power, I have a lexus afm just sitting here taunting me to buy a set of 550cc injectors for it so I can crank up my boost :P
However, if I do get off my lazy ass and fix the engine up, then I will have a spare turbo engine from my daily that I personly replaced the HG in and it works beautifully.
Also I am always willing to help, given that i can fit it into my schedule, I can look at pick n' pulls up here and so on.
Hey, your car still running man? I hope so haha. I do have a 1986.5 parts car with a turbo engine in it, not sure what im going to do with it atm, the engine 'supposedly' only has around 60k on it, since 1986.5's were only N/A I know the previous owner installed the turbo engine, but have no...
Well i can point out the easy stuff to start.
Is you boost gage hooked up properly?
All your vac lines hooked up and in the right spots?
Is there coolant leaking or boiling out of the reservoir?
Any color of smoke coming from the tail pipe?
Did the previous owner deck the block or mill...
