Re:1979 celica supra
I found out the 4me is a 2.6l inline six running a whopping 155hp and has 8.5:1 compression, think I should try to turbo it or just swap, and do the tranny'es bolt up between the m series motors?

Re:1979 celica supra
Yeah, its a 6cylinder! The Supra 7m could be swapped in or better yet with the time and $$$$$$ you could put the 2JZ (twin turbo)in. I've seen a '81 Corolla at Englishtown with a 2JZ. Didn't take pics but bad ass anyways!! 8)

Re:1979 celica supra
OPKay, I took a look at it yesterday, the calipers were seized on all four corners so once I got it rolling and some new gas in the tnak it will turn over but not run. The guy who owned it said it had a blown headgasket so he put new oil in it and parked it.
Here's the symptoms: It blows smoke heavily. will only run at WOT and dies at part throttle(haven't tested this out yet.) There is a LOUD knocking noise when it does run and WOT. and some random "sensor" light comes on and stays on. I gues this is the check engine light so I'll figure out how the diagnostics are. I'm pretty sure atleast one of the injectors is frozen so I night try to get them cleaned or rebuilt, but does a hdeagasket usually make a loud ------- knock when the engine is running? I'd hate to open head up and see a rod where it shouldn't be or something... |

I'd hate to open head up and see a rod where it shouldn't be or something... Check the obvious things: Fuel, spark, and compression. -If there is a blown headgasket, compression in a couple of the cylinders may be low causing it to run very rough. -As you said, fuel injectors may be frozen. -Check all spark plugs to see if they are fouled -Or if you are still unsure...drop the oil pan and take a look But with a blown headgasket it will run rough and blow alot of smoke |
Re:1979 celica supra

Re:1979 celica supra

Re:1979 celica supra
yeah it's definately a bhg, i check it out today, chocolate covered valvetrain baby, oh yeah...
Anyway, I'm gonna flush the engine after the head goes back on and tap the injectors with a mallet to make sure they're not sticking, that should do it ithink, thanks for the info guys. |
