+1 for Japanese Star Motors. I picked my motor up from there a couple years back, did compression test right in from of me.

 

do u have the stock t28 turbo ?

 

Tilted it on the engine stand so the dremel will shoot most of them out and then sprayed in side with carb cleaner to wash any extras out . On the intake side i will put some cotton down in there and then use double sided sticky tape to catch any extras .

Well i checked my rod bearings last night and they looked great .
And did a little more work on my valve cover .

 

Im thinking ARBY's. HAHA.

 

LOL yeah, Arby's FTW!

 

sent it back due to blown oil seals and no water lines hooked up or on the engine. Well i checked the rod bearings last night they all look brand new and i re torqued them to spec so everything is going well .I will be putting the bottom end back together starting tonight . I went out and bought some Toyota gasket maker for oil pans 18.00 something a tube but its good stuff . i also saturated the rod bearings with lucas oil stabilizer and threw some on the timing chain and down the oil pick up so i wont have a dry start up when i get it in the car .And yes arby's was dam good lol .Still got to clean the aluminum secondary pan .

 

HAHA. Sorry, I was staring at the shiny thing and then I saw the Arbys hat. HEHE.

 

well heres some more piks and a pik of one of the rod bearings .

 

Looking good so far!

 

Well some more pics .

lil port on the intake side of the head .And the intake itself .And the intake side of the engine .

 

hell yeah super nice pics this build up is going great i see !

 

Now some things im going to be ordering this Friday . Thermal intake gasket front main seal and rear main ,and adapter for water neck for my temp sensor .

 

looking good mate

 

sweet sweet!


and yes, that's the main engine block coolant drain bolt. the bigger bolt.

same for ka/sr

 

So frustrating well japan star tried to play the whole warranty thing on me in there clause but i have an email that states they will replace any broken parts . so now i have to wait until they get another 69 foo over here cause the only ones they have are s-13 t25 that are good so as far as im concerned expect a bad turbo when you order your motor form them .I told them even a 91 foo would work yank one off of the s15 sr and itl be good .Apparently those aren't any good or they just wont yank one off so buyer beware and be prepared to replace your turbo.Unless its an s-13 t25.. So i dont even know how long ill have to wait before i get my parts or the turbo .3 hours of on the phone bull **** and research.
