i'm bored with my intake plus its scratched to hell so i trying to do something a little different....shoving an HKS twin air intake from an TT RX-7 in there

i dont expect any gains but hey at least itll be different.

i remember for my FC RX-7 making a CAI out of a '92 prelude piping and slapping an HKS foam filter on the end, worked like a charm.

 

Just called them both.

Mesa won't install the head gasket for me, neither will jp tuning.

This **** is seriously ____ing me off.

I can see why so many people scrap their project. After a while it gets to be a headache.

 

pics of bordum?? lol

sergio.. pull out a phone book for shop and start callin... u can always take ur car up north to CFT , or titan also lol...there is a place in broward that might do it also but i forgot the name.. started with a P

 

LOL not till i know for sure itll fit and completed.

next project.. 20B in the TC! ;-)

 

Omg I just checked. Both of those are in orlando, lmao.

I'm gonna be optimistic a few more days >.<

Then i'll start to worry.

 

Rick, here is a picture of the manifold.
Its the exact same one that I have.

sergio, is this something we can all help you with? im down to help a brother any way i can. total cost is free 99.

 

Id be down to Sab....I mean help make your car faster than mine

 

free 99? lmao!!

I'm not sure, maybe. I was able to do most of it myself I just got stuck with a few things.

It got to a point where I was like "you f**king screw, come out" and I called it a day, and started putting **** back together.

I had to take out the motor mount on the passenger side. I was missing like 2-4 screws off the timing cover. Then remove the chain tensioner. Then take off the cams. Then the head studs. I was close, but it is definitely a PITA.

I hope no one, ever blows their head gasket. For people that are boosted. I think turbocharged have more to worry about though.

For the price of swapping out the headgasket. I might as well swap out the bottom-end
internals and pay some more for labor =/

I wasn't expecting to do this till later on, but I guess i'm going to have to now.

 

Thx geo, lol.

 

I really wanted to get javi's cf hatch.

But, I guess i'll have to get the k1 rods instead.

 

^Hey man, yea id be down to help if we turned this into something lol. And yea, that mechanic can have an attitude.

Damn i hope this job goes through!!!!! Im over here with Ala, and we can't get the FKN LEDs to work

 

sergio.... i know who u can call..

call or swing by headquarter toyota and talk to a guy named GRANT.. he is a mechanic there.. hes super cool..he drives a cressida with the 1jz swap...he might be able to help you

also post pics of the bolts u need out... i know 1 of the ones ur talking about but i dont know the other..

 

Anyone have a stock side skirt layin around??

I need just the left one for temp use...no matter the color or anything like that?
Preciate it in advance

 

need help..

who of you are using your MAF sensor with forced induction? are you using it in a blow thru configuration? or pre turbo?

 

maf sensor sits pre turbo right after the filter

 

in every case on the tC's?

 

every tc setup ive ever seen....

 

correct...always pre turbo..welcome to the world of OBDIIB

 

yeah, my MAF is before the turbine. Dont think ive seen otherwise
