OW!
i just broke the seam in my pants from all the sex going on in those pictures.

the 1/4 doesnt have patience for a ST.... so we make them ST-T's so atleast we'll sound good going slow.
Very nice. I am looking forward to you enjoying your car for awhile and sharing some driving stories.

QUOTE(lagos @ Jul 10, 2006 - 1:55 PM) [snapback]454118[/snapback]i know your trying to do the right thing for your motor, but this is one of those times where you should just trust the guys who have had their swaps for a while and have done a ton of research into this.
Well, i didn't tell you guys earlier because i dont want to give MCS a bad reputation. we had a mishap and only my block and head were shipped back, no accessories. i got my valve cover back yesterday along with an oil pan. not my oil pan though, one from an mr2. so now i need to make a stupid block off piece for that stupid sensor i dont have.

I cant get any work done till the other box of parts comes in. i still need my oil and water pump, head gasket, cam gears, crank pulley, oil pick up, ect.
I talked to Shawn about not receiving my parts and he was great to fix the problem. Shipped them out express and i should get my other box of parts today.

if it comes in today i hope to have the car running this weekend.

oh i agree. but i just want my parts back and to get this running. they just called me and said the 2nd box was for some reason mailed back to them and now i need to wait some more days. so recap, they didnt send me back my parts at all at first, then i get some wrong parts, then the parts i was supposed to get today are back at their shop. i just want to get it running lol. just my luck.

+2 i agree lets get some vids of it running atleast during break in then there better be dyno videos! i want to see 375-400whp out of that beast!

2002 Supercharged IS300
It idles great. its running a bit rich and the aem doesn't want to let me set the ignition timing. im at 10 degrees on the crank but the aem thinks im at 29 for some reason. i try to calibrate it but it doesn't go below 28, waiting on my tuner buddy to come over and straighten it out for me. other than that its seems good. ill post vids of it on the dyno when i get back on one.

got new plug wires, well used ones. 30 bucks. cant even get oem wires for that. so no "should have got oem wires" bashing. the other ones were to long and got all bunched up on the distributer. today I'm having a friend come over to help get it running, hopefully we can figure out its issue.

yeah, know doubt about the 1/4 mile times. wink.gif (your crazy because I know you went with a larger turbo, right? lol)

i drove the car the other day. i didnt get on it because im still in the begining of he break in process. it feels strong. idles good. good A/F. have a little bugs to work out of it. but it should be all sorted out soon. it felt great to drive it again.
