is the 420G the E46 M3 getrag mate?
-
I am seriously considering doing this down the line. E46 M3 gearbox I reckon, and it would hopefully handle my power goals with no problems.
-
Hmm, sounds like it would be worth fitting new torque converter then.
-
Was the engine stripped and rebuilt then? Reground crank and oversized bearings? Or just replaced damaged bearings for new ones stock sized?
-
Sounds like bottom end to me but very hard to tell. Drop the oil out and check it with a magnet for anything untoward would be a simple thing to try first. Is the oil pressure all good? . Flex plate bolts I'm guessing are correctly tightened? This can be checked relatively easily anyway, worth it to be sure.
-
Ahh so they were out of the car when split? Not ideal but this is a good article on confirming if its torque converter or not http://etereman.com/blog/transmission-care/diagnosing-torque-converter-problems-procedures-for-all-vehicles
-
Is this the same work done by the company who replaced the main bearings? It's gearbox 101 taking the tc out with the box...
-
I tried various 1/2 air impact tools including a beasty CP one and they didn't touch it. In the end I used the starter method. Going to order one of these Whiffbitz 2jz pulley tool for the next time I need to use it, for that price its a no brainer!
-
German lol What brakes are you running bignum and is it a stock motor, single turbo? Shows how stout these cars are!
-

-

Wow, looks very unmolested that one. What do we reckon on final sale price? Guesses?! -
No idea on the history of that engine but for me I would rather buy a stock engine than a rebuilt one unless I know who had rebuilt it and how competent they were!
-
Jesus, that sounds an epic. I may as well book a hotel when I go down by the sounds of it!
-
Would be interested to see what checks Greg carries out pre mapping, got mine booked in with him and will do a pre test test lol . GL
-
Did you remove the aux belt as advised? Its a similar noise to the one I had which was the aux belt tensioner (the spring mech inside not the pulley bearing)
-
Will post up how it goes. Sure it'll be good

Who are they Ric? pm me if you like cheers -
Not serviceable. Mine was squeaky too. Bearing change made no difference. New one from toyota did the job perfectly!
-
I have used a guy down that way who will courier it to them safely and return it as well. Cheap too and very reliable. He has collected loads of stuff for me.
-
If you have spent a load and are'nt sure you can do it, surely it is a false economy not to spend a bit more and get someone like SRD to do it?
-
People talk like the supra is some magically complex engine that can only be built by a specialist. Any quality engine builder can build it back up no problem. Its a pretty basic straight six that any good engine man should be able to do in his sleep. With that said SRD are always a safe bet, know their stuff big time.
-
Greg is booked out until at least october as I booked in with him a month or so ago! Worth the wait though..
-
Definately worth checking battery voltage at rest and charging, and under load with lights on. As mentioned check the earths. What fuel pump are you running? Whats the cars spec?
-
Did the car run sweetly before this issue?
