the can says nothing about these sensors. i know how they work and why the cleaner made it fail. i am a student technician and am aware i made a mistake, and the new accordion hoses not being cheap nor any other part for my supra yeah i will complain about it. i was hoping to get some help, not...

cleaned my afm with some electronics cleaner to see if it was just dirty and took it out i guess, code 24. car idles but dies as soon as i tap throttle. so il update when i can get a new one, along with a new accordian hose, it has cracks where it mounts over the turbo housing. gotta love mk3's..

Hi, ive got an 88 supra with a 7mgte auto trans, ive been having weird boost issues for a while now. When i step into the boost the gauge (aftermarket) will fluuter some and boost does fine between 1-6psi but once i go wide open, will boost hard then hit 8psi with gauge flutter, then will go...

Thanks for the replies, i dont think cx racing takes refunds on these turbo's. it seems to work perfectly fine besides the wastegate. it spools up niceley and sounds great. the thing is such a PITA to remove and install, id like to just get it to work, i am going to grind down the downpipe and...

Thank you for the reply i have the head off the car and the bottom end looks okay, piston bore measures in spec, might just baby it till i can fund a 1j swap. didnt have to put the wrench over 58ft lbs to take off the head bolts, looks like whoever did the last HG didnt even have the head...

Forgive me if i posted this in the wrong section, i didn't see the other one for engine talk. anyway i drained the oil and no coolant came out before oil, its all just mixed and smells of coolant and is dark. i popped off the intercooler hose and drained about a pint of oil from the whole thing...

Hi everyone, I'm a proud new owner of a 88 ma70 with the 7mgte. 168k Im pretty sure she has a bad head gasket b/c milky oil on the dip stick and she smokes white. she runs okay until warm up then will just die, im aware of the bad torque specs in the manuals and this car had the hg replaced once...
