As requested: Cold start, well as cold as it can get in FL in July. The stock 440's are snapping away but the motor is purring. After break in my 560's and new fuel should be going in and I'll get another vid then. 


Sorry don't know how to embed the video right here, but here's a link

^ That induction noise is the little filter on the IACV its pretty load at cold start, and again the snapping after shutdown is the IACV, maybe its loader because the camera is right next to it.

Thanks man I get compliments on the wrinkle paint a lot, I was torn for a while whether to do it or not, because I was trying to picture it in my head, but I'm glad I did. I did it on the upper timing cover too.


Thats a glowshift sender and 7-Color tinted series gauge(boost/vac gauge too), I got it awhile back and actually now having some issues with a bouncy gauge. I spoke with glowshift and has since upgraded the internals of their gauges to stepper types, so they told me to send it in and if it is in fact defective there gonna send me a new stepper gauge. 


Got over 2k on the rebuild now and she's still running strong, except for the now slipping clutch after turning up the boost. It holds fine on stock boost but pffft. So she is currently up on stands, first time in her new garage, and the tranny should be coming out today. Throttle response is amazing now and the boost comes on much quicker, i'm going to pin that on the porting a polishing I did along with all the cleaning of everything, and I had to tweek my tune a bit after the rebuild. While its up I was going to give the LSD an inspection, and have been considering the weir performance upgrades. Needs wheels, tires, paint, header/turbo/downpipe and standalone then I "should" be done, big emphasis on should!

Well I decided to give the LSD an inspection, it was obvious that I was the first one to dive into it. One of the side shafts just didn't want to leave its home in the LSD, it apparently liked it there. It came out, with a slide hammer, but stubborn the entire way. The other one popped right out after a few good slides. It is a 91 so it got the "upgraded" clutch/disc order per the service bulletin, so I'm wondering if the guy at Toyota that opened it to "upgrade" it used the wrong snap ring on that side during reassembly. I'll be adding the wier performance goodies, new bearings, seals, putting the clutch/disc's back in, in the correct order.


Well heres the damage.
