Ryan, the oil galley has a steel tube in the center. The Aluminum is fairly thin, and doesn't leave much area for milling flat. Also if you removed material from this area, you may put the inlet of the squirter more into the path of the oil rather then just tapping into it. In my application, we...

Hey Guys, Chris & I got the Transmission mated up to the motor last night. it was actually a pain. Taking it out while in the car is going to suck! Anyway, here are some photos! Sorry, this photo kept coming out blurry. it kind of hard to take a picture inside the bell housing. This is a...

Steve, your gonna make me go back, and look at all the $$ I spent aren't ya. I will try though. Hey Thomas, The trans I am using is a 6-speed Getrag off of a TT Supra. 94 i belive from the date code. I have heard that some of the BMW's use this same trans V-160 with a different bellhousing, &...

Chris did. Chrisman I think he had this done or started before cowboy did it, or we might have gone that route. It is 1 solid ring instead of 2 which bolt tobether. When Chris fit it, the starter wasn't on the block, and the nose, and the 2 bolts which hold it are in the way. we probably could...

Hey guys, Well the motor is back together for the 3rd time with out ever running. Finally made up my mind "I guess LOL" Anyway, I have a couple photos of the 6-Speed clutch bolted on the car. I think Chrisman had posted a few of these before, but that was the set photos. These are the real thing...

Thanks John, & Happy New Year to you also. Those are special Oil Squirters I got from a good buddy. (Look Frimular?) The bottom end, and 1 head are back together. I just got to tired the other day to keep going. Thought I would start making mistakes. Chris & I did a good job of cleaning...

Chris & I decided we wanted to use oil squirters in our application. Here are some photos of the squirters as we were putting them in. Hopefully you can see what I meant by the squirter should be turned slightly so the squirted is put in the corner of the cylinder to avoid the rod, and piston...

I don't think were understanding each other. In the photo you have the squiter tab parallel with the oil galley, and if you drilled & taped it, the bolt would go in the galley also. If you turn the tab about 40-45 degrees the hole drilled for the bolt will only be in the aluminum of the block &...

I have to agree with CJSupra almost 100% but I think the pistons in a turbo motor benifit alot, the oil helps keep the temp in the piston down, and much more stable. but thats also my oppinion But every high performance Toyota motor, and every turbo Toyota motor I've ever seen comes with them.

I've used them on a rebuilt 4A-GE and didn't have any problems, plus I think the benefit is great. I will need another set, if you want to get rid of your, let me know. In your photo, you have the bolt tab running in line with the oil passage. It needs to be to the side, like in the diagram...

Thanks David. I'm not understanding why your builder thinks the piston oil squiters would burn more oil. i could see if he was worried about oil pressure, but they close at low psi.

Well guys, I had the motor assembled with the stock rods, and was having an argument with myself about it.:argue: After spending all those day looking at it, and something telling me not to run it with the stock rods, I broke down, and got a set from Pauter. Chris & I are also putting in the...

You guys are discussing the shaft play that someone estimated. and a 1/16th of clearance on each side is standard for a bronze bushing turbo, which is what these turbos are. Ball bearing turbos are different, but the 1/8 shaft play is standard.

I have used them, and have never had a failure. I don't know what turbo.com or the DSM forums opinions are. I prefer to think for myself. Like building my TT 6-Speed SC400 vs. reading about Eagle Talons. Like I said if you want to hear what people are reading in other forums reposted here, then...

No, it wasn't installed incorrectly from the factory. What happens at high mileage is the steal seal gets oil coking on it from mileage, and poor oil, and that causes it not to seal correctly anymore. The high RPM forces more oil to the seal, and it leaks. But that and the board members of a...

By slightly better, I mean one turbo to be more efficient then another of the same design. Posting tolerance numbers doesn't make one better over another, & I’m pretty sure that the clearance numbers posted are way to tight. Some posts have stated that the SS turbos were junk cause they have a...

A turbo is an extremely simple machine. it is a shaft with an impeller on each end. sure, some are slightly better then other. but they are slightly better. if you think different, your fooling yourself.

Sorry guys, I disagree. From now on, only purchase $2000 turbos so you know your getting a quality part.

I’ve seen stock Toyota CT-26 compressor housing split in half, due to trying to shim the wastegate. Basically pulling on the housing in an unnatural way. To think the aluminum casting split because of 20-30psi is just inaccurate. The turbos PSI didn't split the housing. The charge pipe or...

I have used SSAutochrome multiple times, and have had nothing but good luck with them, at outstanding prices. I have had an order, which I ordered incorrectly, and 1 order they shipped incorrectly. They took care of both of them. It took a little bit of back N forth with E-mails, but they took...
