    Forgot to machine front main engine cover while fixing BHG. Major oil leak.

    That's a pretty helpful chart! I'm gonna stick that in my bookmarks. And yeah it was the fitting. I got the turbo off and inspected the whole fitting assembly after reading all the replies and could totally see why it was leaking. I'll be tightening it on here in a few mins. Thanks guys. I...

    Forgot to machine front main engine cover while fixing BHG. Major oil leak.

    Thanks I had to search on google to find that out. I'm assuming that's what my issue is as I was reading a thread on here on how to install the kit and someone said "finger tight" was passable. I'm now regretting taking that advice as it's been holding me up. I was trying to put that into words...

    Forgot to machine front main engine cover while fixing BHG. Major oil leak.

    Oil pressure sensor is fine. No oil leaking from it. The hose is part of the driftmotion oil soft line kit for the ct-26 (http://store.driftmotion.com/static/i-ct26oilsoftlinekit.php). I saw the oil leaking from the back of the AN fitting and i'm assuming its because it's not on tight enough...

    Forgot to machine front main engine cover while fixing BHG. Major oil leak.

    Found it! Oil is leaking from the rear of the blue -AN fitting. I had my neighbor come over and turn over the car while I illuminated the area with a flashlight. After about 5 seconds of cranking oil started shooting out of the hose. I thought it was the fitting before and took the whole...

    Forgot to machine front main engine cover while fixing BHG. Major oil leak.

    The block was not machined, just the head, but only about the thickness of a sheet or two of paper was taken off. The block was inspected with a level and found to be within tolerance. I can't really recall if I put the RTV at the front of the of the block or not, but it is not leaking from...

    Forgot to machine front main engine cover while fixing BHG. Major oil leak.

    Surprised? Alright, so, here's the issue. I recently changed my headgasket (OEM don't judge me!) and oil is leaking out like crazy below the CPS. I thought it was the turbo oil lines (driftmotion oil soft line kit) so I replaced all the gaskets with new OEM ones and put teflon tape on the...

    Replaced BHG. Now have an issue with the harness. Video inside....

    It was indeed the back-up light sensor. It's located on the passenger side right before the transmission brace. It goes up over the tranny onto the driver side and mine had decided it crawl back on top of the transmission. I had to loosen the bolts on the brace and lower the transmission about...

    Ok, that makes sense as to why I can't find it. Thank you very much! Also, for clarification, which ring terminal goes to the starter? I have one with white wires and one with brown wires.

    Ok, so I fixed the BHG, and have been doing pretty good with the TSRM, EPC, and various vacuum line diagrams, but this one is confusing me. On the part of the harness that goes under the intake manifold that has the two grounds (on the engine and starter), brown plug going to starter, and little...

    I was just out at both yards closest to me and no dice. Turbo cars are rare and most of the parts I need are stripped off and/or broken. Anyone have a stockish motor so I can take pictures of the vacuum line routing? I'll buy you lunch for your trouble.

    Anybody got a turbo parts car I can pull some things off of? Not having much luck with craigslist or the classified section. I just need some random bolts for the radiator, turbo stays, and some harness plugs, and maybe take a few pictures of the engine bay so I can figure out how to put it back...

    I'll probably have mine running in a month so i'll try and make it out. Gotta send my injectors out to be cleaned and put the rest of the car back together. I'm at the "just put the head back on" stage as of now. I lost my job and wasn't working for a few months so the Supra got put on the back...

    Thanks Brandon for the 7M parts and putting up with my n00bishness. Gonna work on the 7 tonight and get rid of the "clogged vacuum cleaner" idle. I've been combing the rx7club for answers and it's leaning towards a vacuum leak. So what's everyone up to for the weekend?
