92nsx's supra build

[92nsx]

This past weekend I finished retorquing my ARP studs down to 85 ft/lbs. and reinstalled the cam covers with new gaskets. I was just uneasy about having everything open to dust n crap in the air, even thought everything was covered up when I wasent working on it.

My ECU and TPS's are still out at JJ's, I hope he can find something. Also this past weekend I was over at Sean's helping him try and get the 2JZ going, what a pain in the ass this engine has been. Also since I was over there I loaded AEM's EMS program on my laptop so I can start to play with it.

Got pictures of the combustion chamber? You know, the bowl blend? I would like to see how it was redone, and the bigger valves.

 

[92nsx]

I do some where. But I just searched my memorie card and those pics are not on it. This means it is on another SD card that is somewhere, let me do some searching for it.

EDIT: I found the card and no pic of the bottom I only took pics of the runners)
This is the only pic I have that sort of shows the bottom of the head. I know not any help

great build. I love the ffim.

Major set back tonight. The Intercooler is FULL of coolant and also the FFIM has a huge puddle in it. i have no idea how it got there. Figgie and I have been talking all afternoon and everything checks out ok. Sad but true, If this motor is shot and I just threw 7 grand down the drain I am out of the supra game.
Here is a pic I took of the FFIM.

And this is NOTHING like the intercooler looked/ had inside of it!!!!!!

Also the FFIM dose not have enough clearance between shock tower. Only .004" clearance. Here is a pic. to prove what I am talking about.

Any one buying a FFIM form Tubbie beware this is how it fits. It is nothing but junk!!! Take this as your warning.

Smack FFIM on shock tower breaking the seal on the manifold gasket allowing coolant in from the nipple on the underside of it.

Either that or bad turbo is the ONLY way I can see you getting that much coolant in there.

 

[Rennat]

if it was the seal on the intake manifold, there would be coolant all over the ground.

my bet is the turbo. especially since the intercooler is full, and the intake manifold only has a little bit in it... pressure test the radiator and see where you hear it coming from.


still on the stock ct-26? loop the coolant lines and then see if it does the same thing, take maybe 30mins to drain enough coolant, loop them, and re-check...
but i would drain the oil and see if theres any in there too.

 

[IJ.]

He said the IC is full and that's before the FFIM so that can't be it Poo.

 

[92nsx]

Turbo is now on another supra and is running strong, no coolant in IC system.. Not the turbo. Yes oem CT-26 for break in cycle.
The FFIM is good so far havent "drove" the car yet, only Idle time on it. Vacuum is/was good. If Figgie couldn't figure it out I dont think there is much hope. Soon time to part out and buy a vette

 

[IJ.]

Coolant on the plugs?

 

[92nsx]

plugs clean figgie already asked here is a pic from 1,2,3.

Before you ask the combustion chamber is also not flooded

hard to see but you can see.

 

[IJ.]

That's a relief!

 

[92nsx]

still dosent explain WTF is happening and why coolant is in my IC system

 

[IJ.]

It's a ported head isn't it?

 

[92nsx]

yep, look in album labled "album for figgie" under my CP

 

[Poodles]

IJ: Talking to him in flashcat, he said the turbo was dry, but the IC pipe clamp was damp. If he had a leak at the coolant flange for the turbo and it was sucked into a leak on the piping it might do it.

Doesn't quite explain why it's fine on the other car, but I still say tr another turbo as he has 3

/me hides from 92nsx

 

[IJ.]

How far up the IC pipe is it wet Rob?
(tissue wrapped around a finger will show any residue)

 

[92nsx]

both sides of IC piping are "damp" lol. cold side more then the hot side I know I must be doing something wrong but umm....... IDTS. like it would come from the turbo but unless it fixed it self it cant since Emilios car is just fine

 

[IJ.]

Ok I'm a little confused by the time line here Rob.

Has it ran since you changed Turbo's?
