Re: Tearing down old engine... Help identifying crank markin

Rear markings I don't know what they are. Front markings are to help you decide bearing colors with the F.S.M.'s help.

Re: Adam's formerly supercharged... now soon-to-be-turbo'd,

would you rather have the seal suck tight to the crank backwards, or be sucked open letting in clutch debris from the rear and road debris from the front? The only concern i had was whether or not oil would reach the lip seal touching the crankshaft and be durable. All modern day seals have a spiral...

it shouldnt be if the engine is under vacuum. Make sure the oring sleeve on the timing cover isnt leaking.

Re: Adam's formerly supercharged... now soon-to-be-turbo'd,

I am just waiting to hear your comments on blown vs snail... It's been a week and all I can say so far is... it's weird. With the supercharger, boost is always available, even @ 2000 rpm. It's not much boost at that low RPM, maybe 4-6 psi, but it's always there. The turbo, on the other hand, doesn'...

hell stock mounts come apart. I ignored this at first because I'm just not sure how to interpret such a random potshot.

Did you ever decide on what you're going to use for engine management? Honestly, I'm not sure yet. I'll be running this motor N/A for a bit to break it in and save up some $ for engine management. I'd love to go with AEM just a little iffy on how parameters and whatnot will work for stock function ...

Re: Adam's formerly supercharged... now soon-to-be-turbo'd,

on the thermostat break the little brass wiggle valve thingy and drill out the hole a little bigger and the motor will be more likely to burp itself. wont warm up as fast but it better than dealing with air bubble or not having a cooling system vacuum tool.

Re: Ideas for my ka-t set up

Ive never heard someone say its my track car and is a gt28 to big ha.

What kind of tracking you talking about? If you want a cheap turbo that wont fail in a year check out journal bearing precision turbos and older TO4E t3/t4's from turbonetics.

Re: Adam's formerly supercharged... now soon-to-be-turbo'd,

safety wiring it to itself isnt going to help. I'd put one of the bolts on the diaphram in a lathe and drill through that and tie to that. If you dont have a lathe, then weld a tab onto the top of the canister after disassembly. If you cant do any of that Locktite The other thing you could do is get...
