PICS!!!!...What up guys...finally got some pics and progress done...YAYYY...

First off i got my rods resurfaced and look pretty good...

OH and those FORGED PISTONS...hahah i wish...just look all shiny and stuff...lol...

My rings...No leaflet IJ but there was instructions on back...lol...oh and Nippon rings are what Honda's come with stock...I think...not sure...

Also Put the head mostly back together...

OH and got that 7m crank in...One of the counterweights just BARELY touched the oil drive gear slot thing....haha...my lingo is SO technical...but i just rubbed a file on it just once not hard and took care of that...:]

Tools and stuff...
Torque wrench

Instead of Engine honey....i basically used the same thing...a thick oil...and since I'm doing everything old school....why not use old school oil...hahah...Basically it's Lucas...but thicker...

Well now I'm waiting on my oil pump which should be here tomorrow or Tuesday...then the block will be together when i get that and then it's hook to transmission time!!!...then it goes back in the car....the greddy headgasket and head bolts were on special order so i got to wait longer....jeez....they breakin meh balls.....but updates and pics SOON!

Are you using bolts or studs??

If you look inside your head you'll see circular inlets where the bolts go through. Make sure you put the head on the block using only the guiding pins. Then drop the washers in, then the bolts or studs. You will probably have to rotat your cams on a few of them. My #10 always wanted to grab and keep my socket.

 

[BlackDynamite]

I'm using head bolts and whenever i had the block resurfaced i guess they had to take of the guiding pins.....so i don't have them anymore.....so what we are going to do it take the old head bolts and cut the top hex part off(basically just a straight bolt with threads on it....) and screw 2 or 3 in...BASICALLY the same thing as guiding pins.......i used to do it on Chevy blocks all the time...:]...

 

[supramacist]

Right on. You may as well put the lower plenum and the egr valve on that thing. I assume you will have help lifting it.

BD: Go to Toyota and buy some dowels.

The head can walk around too much if you don't fit em and a BHG won't be far away.

 

[BlackDynamite]

Ij: Yeah i figured i would have to buy em...are they expensive?..

Supramacist: Yeah i got help lifting...my g-pa or my buddy will help out...

 

[supramacist]

I don't know how much they are.
But after dropping 5k on parts for mine.

I am guessing they will probably be around 20 bucks a piece.

 

[BlackDynamite]

just curious how much Hp and Trq does the na supra put out at the crank and wheels?

 

[NewWestSupras]

dowel pins are cheepie. I think mine were coupla $$ apiece. Nice lookin na there! Good practice for a high horse gte next, yeah?

 

[BlackDynamite]

Yeah i'm getting another supra(5spd turbo)...After this one is paid for and finished...

I get paid thursday so i'll check with the dealer and see what comes up on the Dowel pins...:]

 

[IJ.]

BD: a few $ not much at all

 

[supramacist]

My stock 91 na was rated at 200hp. Completely stock. I'm not sure if mine is going to be street legal or not. Once the cops here see this thing with a carbon fiber hood, they are going to want to know who's driving it. So I'll let the old lady drive it for a while first, lol.

 

[BlackDynamite]

lol is that to the wheels or at crank?

 

[supramacist]

Hmmm good Q.

I would think crank, but I'm not 100% positive.
I read it in the manual.

I should be right around 250hp when it rolls out.

I still have tons of things I will do to this auto after it's living again.
But don't tell my old lady.

 

[Burntz]

The supra's 200 hp was at the crank, so like .. 185 to the wheels?

 

[BlackDynamite]

I JUST GOT MY HEAD GASKET IN!!!! Looks pretty good...the box was shitty though......It said Trust more than greddy...Trust IS greddy...so no problems there...WHOOT! Still waiting on my head bolts and I couldn't get the damn piston ring compressor thing to work right so now i gotta get one of those....

 

[BlackDynamite]
