What have you done to your MSP today?

[mildsalsa]

new vacuum block came in... suppose to be black.. since when is metallic purple, black? lol

 

[Jaleik]

Maybe whoever sent it was colorblind, or became colorblind after looking at that block..

What brand is it?

And I found my rubbing issue when I hit bumps. Its the tab where the bumper and fender bolt together. Any help to fix it?


Also messed with my headlight wiring. Now have low beams and fogs in the low beam position. When i flick to highs, my fogs shut off and my high beam flap moves to where its supposed to be, but the bulbs shut off. The bulbs aren't supposed to turn off, the flap is just supposed to move . I'm so confused -___-

Dont know if its possible on the MSP, but the solution for that on my S2000 was simple. Drill a small hole farther back and put the screw in there to secure it then cut the bumper tab back.

I NEED THE MSP BACK ON THE ROAD!!! It's been almost 3 weeks without it. I actually get the same mileage out of the 4Runner as I do the MSP. LOL. All I need are the CORRECT main bearings, and I'll have the engine reassembled in a couple hours. I haven't even taken the other engine out yet. I did install the water pump onto the new engine out of boredom. I really can't do much else until the crankshaft is in... I've got a pile of parts just sitting there beside the block...

Thanks monkey...

 

[mildsalsa]

[SCMP3]

Now that the time to purchase my forged internals is approaching, I see that there are two different lengths offered through various suppliers- 5.4 and 5.315... Can someone explain to me why...

 

[03MSP86]

Trying to diagnose a clutch issue. I'm thinking throw out bearing. And if i let go of the clutch slowly, no gas in gear it'll grab and go, Shouldn't it stall? No leaks, fluids full, no grinding or pop outs. It shifts and grabs fine. Its just when I press the clutch rpms drop to almost a stall. Its not rolling while clutch is in. So its not like its grabbing. I'm confused....

Ill search and/or start a thread when I get home. But I wanted to see if there was any thoughts....

Well, on my way to bring the car to my shop, it decided it wanted to puke its internals onto the interstate.... AND BLOW THE ******* TURBO OFF OF THE MANIFOLD!!!

[Spiced MSP]

WHAAAAAT!! THAT IS INSANE!! s*** JUST GOT REAL.. lol. Seriously though, hopefully you can get everything fixed

 

[Cleverfrog]

Did it strip the threads off? Or did you just not properly torque stuff down?

 

[SCMP3]

Holy hell. Make sure to take pics of the carnage. Welcome to the zoom zoom boom club.

This is the BAD engine that went, not the one I'm building. I'm assuming it let a rod loose, but I'm still trying to figure out how the **** the turbo got dettached from the manifold...
The tow truck is picking it up in about 20 minutes... The correct main bearings showed up before lunch, so that'w why I decided to go pick the car up. I had to get it within 10 miles of my shop so I wouldn't have to pay $82 for a tow and I made it! LOL. I've been reassembling the replacement engine since I got back from lunch, so I'll have it ready tonight and hopefully get them switched tomorrow afternoon.
I will be sure to take pics of this. I really hope my MBSP is okay because I don't want to tap my oil pan for the turbo return line.

Are you talking about the turbo? It sheered the bolts off. I have no ******* clue how it actually did it. I had one of my techs following me when it happened. He said it was ******* insane and that what may have been a chunck of my block hit the shuttle van he was driving and it covered the windshield in oil. LOL

maybe the rod punched the turbo? idk that's pretty awesome though. good thing it's not the good motor

What limited view we had, it didn't look like it, but I didn't spend a whole of time lying on the side of the interstate with cars flying past at 80mph... I really want to know how though. I'll see soon enough I suppose.
