[mk3forme]

Is that the upgraded pump he sells. Has he ever got info on the flow numbers vs a stocker?

 

[MKIII VIXEN]

It is the upgraded oil pump that Driftmotion sales. I don't know the numbers on it.

We are using the Garrett T04E.

We have the oil pump bearings and Im dropping the head off this morning. Now maybe he'll get to work on this thing and we can have two running supras at our house in about a month. (crosses fingers)

 

[suprahero]

The machine shop was closed today. I don't know why, but he was. Hopefully he'll be open tomorrow.

Which gasket did you end up going with? Also, don't forget about the rivet that may be in the way of the mating surface.

It's a HKS 2mm. Stupid question I'm sure, but what do you do about the rivet?

You just remove it.

Like Cry said, yes you remove it if it's in the way of the mating surface. It might not be but double check to be sure. Then ARP studs and 100 TQ on the wrench. (that's what mine is torqued down to)

Any real reason why you went with 100 ft/lbs over 80 that's recomended by ARP? Have to do with the amount of boost your running?

 

[mk3forme]

Yeah I have heard you dont want to go over 80 as well. you start losing the integrity of the bolt.
