Jeff's Supra Build...again

[Reign_Maker]

Yep. Less force acting on the crankshaft due to more uniform balancing. I'm building this to spin 7200rpm all day long. But hey, let's not hijack Jeff's thread

A 6M will spin 7200 easy... Rev limit isnt so much in the crank as it is in the head... If you have a balance the 6M, like I have, then I see no reason you cant spin it that high...

Jeff get movin man, we got a deadline to meet, lol...

 

[Doward]

It's due to torsional vibration. The 6M has inherently more than the 7M.

I'm not building this motor to spin up to 7200rpm down a 1/4 mile. I want to be able to hold 7200rpm all day long.

 

[IJ.]

I would owe you big time for that That's what's holding me up now! Make sure it's stamped 7M on the crank, not 6M

7M crank is unmarked

6M is in raised font on the crank.

 

[Doward]

Oh jeez. Not having a 7M crank, I wouldn't know

If nothing else, I will hit the U-pull-it on Saturday, and get to work stripping the crank out of that Cressida. I'm not looking forward to trying to bust that balancer bolt loose, with only hand tools :3d_frown:

 

[IJ.]

Well being an SME you need to know these things

i use to live in gainesville like 4 streets down from that publix (IIRC) i never knew so many people were into supras there i only saw like 2-3 the whole time i lived there.

any chance we can get videos of this said car when finished?

Yeah I just got into Supras, about last year and got one December 06, and then another March 07, due to a wreck...

Yeah man, all that scares me is will Ron be able to finish my manifold in time, he will get in next Tuesday due to damn expense shipping. Hopefully he is not too busy... Reign did you get a intake from him? if so how long did it take?

 

[7Mboost]

Well polishing is some hard-ass work but here's where I'm at with about 4 hours into this valve cover.

White diamond, got it from a Harley shop by a car cleaner place guy I know and omg I am amazed at what it can do.

Need to grind down a few rough spots then a few more coats.

yea i remember readin about it good luck with this build! those polished covers look hot!

 

[Reign_Maker]

Jeff, I cant remember how long it took to get, I bought it so long ago... I wanna say turn around time was pretty fast though... Ron doesnt leave ya hangin...

 

[7Mboost]

Yeah if he can finish that, I'm good to go.

 

[7Mboost]

Well very unluckily I sent my manifold out too late and now Ron R isn't making manifolds anymore so I'm fucked on that one, and down $40 for shipping! I am pissed but I see Ron has some family matters to take care of so I feel mad/ok but it sucks cause you can kiss ORL2K7 down the drain... Anyone with a long-runner retaining a/c manifold from RonR looking to sell? I'll pay top dollar.

 

[Reign_Maker]

Jeff, if I hadnt already dropped my motor in, I would sell you mine... Talk to Sethron or check here: http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?t=38211

 

[7Mboost]

Jake, I looked at those manifolds and I really just don't like the design 1, and know nothing about them, I've been reading up on Ron's for a while and I really! wanted to get that manifold and i'm pissed because I could've sent it out long ago..... anyways

Who is Sethron?

His newer designs are really nice...

 

[Doward]

Jeff! I DEMAND an update!

Seriously, what's the latest bro?

 

[7Mboost]

I'm going to the body shop tomorrow hoping he's done something! I'm still polishing my valve covers, coil pack plate. I'm gonna relocate the power steering resovior when I get the car back.

Now that I'm out of school expect a lot of work to get done, I'll be at the body shop all week pressing the engine bay to get painted. I'm still looking for a RONR FFIM, HOPEFULLY* something turns up. I'll be finishing the polishing tonight because I have all the stuff for it now, and I'll try to get some pics. Pray for OL2K7!

 

[Doward]

OL2K7? What's that? Enlighten me here

Pics of the polishing? And hey, at least you've got the day to work on your Sup! No excuses, you better be done before I am

Orlando Supra Meet 07, and I hope I finish soon. As long as I get my manifold I will.....

 

[Doward]

Ah, the big Florida meet coming up! I may head out to it, I'm still undecided... certainly won't be in the Supra, though!
