OK should be a simple problem. My buddy had left the key in the ignition yesterday and I was not aware of this. So when I hooked up some jumper cables to Supra there was a click noise. I got in the car and then realized that the keys were in the ignition, and turned on! Car wont even attempt...

Ok guys, thanks for everyone patience on my Supra. I am as new as it gets to Supras and I am using the search feature when I can. I cleaned out the TPS and the ISC valve. Car idles like a champ, something it didn't do well yesterday. Actually it wont idle bellow 1000 rpm. However yesterday...

Ok I am determined to get to the bottom of my moody Supra. The light was coming on only when the engine RPM was almost 0. The car is doing a high then low idle untill warm and I noticed that the light would flash when it almost died. I checked the codes and its an 11. Is this simple enough to...

Before doing the HG the gas door opened once perfectly fine. I took it over to a gas station, pulled the lever and voila. Now it wont? Any mechanical way to do it without ripping it off?

Ok I have been fiddling around with my Supra since the new HG and I have been fighting a oil leak. Well I took the turbo off for the 3rd time and finally got the leak fixed. Get the car started and voila it runs. spudders and the idle roams, but i get the timing right and it cleans up its...

Some of you may remember that I just finished installing a new headgasket on my 87 Toyota Supra Turbo. Anyways after getting everything back together I had a considerable oil leak coming from under the turbo. Oil was quirting on the passenger side of the engine bay. Last night I took the...

I have two sitting in my driveway and I am ready to get rid of them. I am going to try and see if anyone wants them locally, but I am wondering if it would be easier to stip them of all parts, and get my money that way? Body panels are good, glass is good, might be other pieces here and there...

The adjustable timing mechanism in the passenger side of the head is loose, and I have tried adjusting many different times to get the car running. I can get it to start and run for about a second before it completly shuts off. Depending on where I adjust the base timing, I can get the...

Ok I dont have a camera available right now, but just out of curiousity was is the thing that plug into the passenger side of the head, and has a rotor that meshes with the cam? What does it need to be set at? I noticed its slightly ajustable. Thanks! Alex

Hope to put the head back on this weekend, and I figured I would start a technical thread so I dont post 40 threads over the next day or two :). I am going to be putting a stock gasket back on my Supra and I am curious as to how clean the block needs to be. I scrapped at it for an hour or so...

I dont mean this as a double post but I just posted up my other two Supras for sale in the For Sale section but I am pondering on what would be best to do with them. I have two MKiii shells. They dont have motors and one has a auto tranny. Would be easier to try selling the cars whole or just...

Ok I read in another post that I can go with a Ishino Head Gasket set and I should be good as far as a non metal head gasket that will not be so sensitive to a perfect finish of both the head and the block. Other then a down pipe (which I need to replace) and maybe a performance air filter, I...

I am on fire tonight with all the questions! :1zhelp: Are there any tricks to pulling the water pump off? I dont want to man handle it and I am 99.9% sure I got all the bolts off, but it seems like the one stud on the lower side may have rusted up a bit. I can get it quite loose, but dont...

I have seen this term used a few times as a method of insuring good sealing for a MHG. Can anyone point me in the direction of how to do it, and the costs involved?

I noticed that my cam sproket timing cover is broken around one edge. I get the impression from a few pictures on this forum that I can go without it on my car when she runs. Opinions, options? Thanks Alex

I haven't been able to read about it anywhere, but what is the deal behind this swap everyone is going on about? What do these motors come out of and what are their benefits over the 7M-gte? Thanks! Alex

I am new to the Supra scene, but a regular to the Mustang scene. I know that in the Mustang world there are lots of very good sites online to shop for parts wether be oem or performance. Some are ranked for their prices, and some are better knowns for their customer service. I have found...

I am new to the forums but I am definitly learning to love my new Supra. I bought 3 of them for about 1150. Two of them motorless, and one running with a BHG. The one I plan on keeping is a 87 Targa Turbo 5 speed that is in need of love, and I intend to keep it. Right now its sole purpose...

Just got a call from the machine shop that is inspecting the head off of my Supra. They guy said its pitted pretty bad and would need between 20,000 and 22,000 thousanths to clean it up. Is this head salvagable, and can I get a good metal head gasket to make up for this? Anything else I need...
