Ok update head is getting machined ill get pics when i get it back, for the other head sitting there ive got big plans.

How does this wet your whistles,

1MM Ferrea Valves, Titanium Springs, Retainers, etc
Brian Crower 264 Cams (Maybe if i have cash 272cams intake and exhaust)
Ported Head (a serious port job using a flow bench)

I got quoted $1250 for this so gotta get the cash first =D

Sounds great, definately get the Ferrera 1mm oversize valves, I got the Ferrera 1mm + valve on my 3sgte with the 3 angle valve job and it worked great! Definately recommended!

the best way to increase horse is not increasing it.Do the stuff that doesnt cost like stripping the interior since the mk3 are known for the weight.

And also for their comfort

The goal is a 500HP (after engine rebuild) i can drive everyday and be comfy

These cars are highway cars, might as well be comfy while speeding

bucket seats are comfortable(recaro,momo,sparco)plus with the decrease weight less pain at the pump

If we ever meet you need to sit down in my car then youll understand why when most owners could change out the seats we dont =P when i get my head back on i should be seeing upwards 20mpg

Toyota quite possibly made the best seats ever in the world, for MK3 Supra they are like just perfect..

yeah i know how they feel(has a n/a mk3)for some reason it has that familiar old smell.What about putting harness on your stock seats?

Head came back looks good just gotta put cam seals on, everything checked out straight, straight as a crow flys



compared to my other head



Decks of heads

After



Now i just need 1 more part then its reassembly

Looking good man.

So hows the Tanabe Super Ultra Mega Uber Gold Platinum Saphire Pokemon Gold Hyper Racing Medallion exhaust coming along?

So you're building that block up for 25+ psi, right?

so what are you gonna do?

.020 Over Pistons
Eagle Rods
6M or 7M crank Knife Edged, Spun Balanced to 0, Nitirided

Thats about it for the bottom end.

Sounds good, what compression? Forged pistons, I assume?

Oh, and looks like you have it running now? How is it?

wow! did the rod bolts on that cylinder just give up?

Im looking to stay around stock 8:4:1. Well i was going to go with new Toyota pistons and rods, but they dont sell them individually so they insisted i buy a new whole complete short block for the nice price of $2500....yeah SCREW that , so im just gonna buy Eagle Rods, and Probe pistons i mean Toyota already forged the 7M stock so itll be just like buying aftermarket stuff at autozone. Shes running good my machinist who im never going to again didnt adjust my valve clearance...dumb ass....so now they are ticking so now i have to do it. Other than that shes got electrical problems normal for a 20yr old car.


and i dont know the history of this motor other than that it had a FUBARD rod cap and missing pistons but id say yeah looks like it came loose.

all and all how do you feel about the project progressing?

I feel pretty good seeing that i have a good base to start with, im really excited to be honest haha The goal is to have everything done by December '09 (Engine, Trans, Suspension)

I have a lot of plans for the motor so i want to make sure i do everything right and now rush. Keep and eye out for this thread ill take lots of pics. If you want the details just shoot me a PM or if you have any questions.

Wow....I guess I need to book a flight down to Texas and give you a hand, like I planned anyway. Thats no good, I know you told me what happened over MSN...but jeez, no idea it was that bad.

I'll talk to you on MSN tomarrow dude, your going to need help!
