new MKIII Turbo owner!

[maniakmx3]

it's been freshly rebuilt, currently has BHG, Ordered HKS 1.2mm Metal head gasket and some new ARP head bolts for it. (I spoke with the builder, he only tourqed the head 45lbs) so that stock gasket went pretty quick.

It's got a new Toyota Garret T4 60-1 Turbo, new IC piping, Turbonetics BOV.

it needs some work, but it'll be fun. It's also possible the head is cracked. but that's just an excuse to get a port-polished head

This is how I bought the car...

Welcome, your car sounds nice! BUT make sure u prep the block/head properly for that MHG and go for ARP studs instead!! Post some pics up of her!

Welcome. Also, head gasket thickness depends on how much surface you remove from the block and head. Might want to wait on that until you've cleaned those up.

Not bad man. Mine looked way worse than that when I got her. She had "cancer" all over and she had a BHG too. Now I'm gettin ready to throw a 7MGTE into her and go with it. If you need any interior parts let me know and I can try to find some at the junkyard when I got today or tomorrow. Congrats on becoming a Supra owner man!

What a dumb shit he was for only torquing to 45 ft/lbs, hell, Toyota did better than that when they realized they fucked up the torque specs on the head . Not a bad looking engine though.

Thanks everyone. Hopfully she'll be on the road soon. Ordering HKS 1.2mm metal head gasket, ARP bolts n studs. New timing belt, tensioner and timing cover.

The belt had started to shred alittle, so I'm gonna buy and put the cover back on it.

as far as I have found so far...really all I need as far as parts are the door moldings...and a paint job. lol
