Should be fine, at worst you'll have to strip the Viton off the gasket and coat it with Copper spray when you reassemble.northwestsupra;974043 said:
I started a thread on this awhile back there's a bunch of info in it.
well thank you for telling me this now after i got it all put together lol. but like i said i got tons of time to do work on it, so im not worried about it, ill just make sure i write that down to remove that rivet. i mean the motor has to come out again anyways, its not even bolted in its just sitting on the mounts, i got some soilds from BIC i needed to get on there :evil2: and ill look around for another turbo, now is there any other medium sized turbo's that have 4inch inlets and 3inch outlets and v-band, i would like to just stick with the pipe size i have and not have to go out and rebuy all that crap.
My T04z has all that, most of the newer turbo's are 4" inlet.
Have a look at this thread for the gasket info I mentioned last post.

thats a pretty sexy turbo, it says 700-750 hp capable to. im starting to like you man. to bad you live so damn far away i could really use a hand on this car, i've been having to do it all by my lonesome. no one wants to help a supra guy out :nono: and all my friends drive hondas and i just dont trust them.
LOL I'm pretty damn impressed with it even at 5psi 
(mine doesn't have the ported Comp cover)
Yeah the distance thing sucks there's so many times I see things here I'd like to be hands on to help but can't due to being on the other side of the planet...
NO ONE trusts Honda guys

well i thought i would pop on in and give everyone an update on the supra's life, so in record time we pullled the motor out got the head and pistons all out, it is a fact that the front timing cover was not machined, so that will be getting done this monday or tuesday. the head gasket had the rivets on there, i have drilled only the 2 corner ones that did in fact get in the way of the head. it looks like only 1 of them really goes under the head while the other one couldnt really tell so i drilled it anyways just in case. the coating on the HG was still on there but im going to copper spray it anyways. going to relube everything while its apart, get the block hot tanked again. and while it was out i also put my solid motor mounts on, meanwhile my friend is making a solid tranny mount for me and short shifter. im going to deal with the fuel system and oil after the motor has broken in partially, i want to know that i dont have any other problems that i will have to spend more money on. but as for updated pictures here you go :icon_bigg
your cars coming together trevor hell yeah i cant wait to see it done man very nice dude.
