Well guys the plan is to order a complete set of replacements from ARP the same material thread etc so I will have 6 spare eagle bolts that have never been tightened up at all just finger tight in the holes so might get a few quid back for those and of-set my expense a little. The instructions are b...

Karam, threads were cool as they wound out by hand and new bolts thread in perfectly.

I would say that you can see the elongation of the bolts though, I will post some piccys in due time LOL...

After re reading the Eagle chart all becomes clear - its 43Ft Lb....

They are 3/8" bolts with 7/16" heads.... (I am a numpty).

Hi peeps, anyone know the setting for Eagle ARP 7/16" conrod bolts?

I am having some trouble, the paperwork I have says it should be 75ft lbs but this has snapped one and badly stretched the other.

Oh where can I buy some more from as well...

Yes mate quite a few of these about, I enquired and Kris said he has people running 400bhp at the wheels on these kits in the US so there is plenty of scope for this setup.

Perhaps see if we can get a group buy on the go for these.

Mate - That engine does not sound like it's bottom end is shot, might just be the quality of the sound, but the bottom ends I have heard in the past sound like a clunk\knock which is louder when under load, but can be heard most of the time. That sounds more like the top end as it's when you rev it ...

Mate if that thing you have is just a lump of heavy rubber, it's likley to be a mass damper, we make exhausts for Land Rover and they have loads of them on it. You will see similar bits of heavy rubber on the subframe, they are used to change the parts harmonics and remove resonance. Of course if it...

It says GL5 and as I understand that will do the trick.

You can use redlines MT90, I have a few times now and IMO it only very very slightly makes a difference.

Mate why did you buy REV2 leads for a REV1?

I agree with the guys but would say forget the leads for the time being go straight for the dizzy cap and rotor arm, these actually wear out where as the leads are usually* ok, make sure they are REV1 cap and rotor arm (if that's what you got).

Finally got my ass over to collect my parts from the Father in law, check em out. http://www.frickerm.co.uk/Projects/Projects-MR2/MR2_Gallery/Engine_build/008_Engine_Build_Parts/index.html 87mm wiseco pistons (look awesome in the flesh, pitty they cant be seen in the engine) 87mm x 1.6mm cometic MLS...

Let me know how you get on bud as I might be interested in one of these.

To be honest I think Peter is a really nice guy and I do not mind having to wait a little while for things as I know I am going to benefit from his experience as a car enthusiast. Obviously when things seem to be dragging on the emotional nature of cars can make us all a bit "Wired", Peter...

Humm I have similar concerns.

Regarding the D2 8 pots, these are the same ones my mate has on his supra, they have some good stopping power and look ok.

He has a sensation of a warped disk and they have only covered about 200miles or so. Personally looking at the quality of the units they are not worth £1k.

Hi guys anyone got any experiance of MSD RPM switches?

I have fitted one on my REV2 JDM and I can't seem to get a tach signal, I have wired it like so:

MSD RED is connected to the Coil RED and black.
MSD White is wired to Coil While and black.
MSD Black is connected to chassis.

No RPM signal.

Help

Hi, can anyone shed some light on my underbucket shim setup. Basically I have bought a underbucket cam follower and shim setup, to replace my REV1 over bucket ones. All is basically ok the cam followers fit the head etc. My concern is the size of the shims, they are about the size of a 5p piece whic...

Anyone know where I can get a cheap 3" stainless exhaust flex from?

Cheers

TBH I thought as much, when I was on the yankie sites they say that the gen1 was totally stand alone (nothing interchangeable), looking at my rev1 head it has a couple of differences (manifold studs) and casting marks but 99% the same as my rev2. Thanks for the reply's, Iguess time will reveal all, ...

Cummon team - why wont they fit?

Is it the cam bucket shrouds are in the way?
