Hey guys, I got a buddy (also a former MKIII owner) who's really into photography, really into cars and REALLY wants to shoot some Supras. As mine is a pretty sorry example of the breed I thought I'd do him a solid and put out the call. I've seen a lot of his stuff on Facebook, it's pretty...

I've got this same problem, it feels like it happens more when I'm just cruising at steady rpm than when im actually accelerating. Mine feels like it simply disengages altogether, rpm goes up and momentum falters but only for a second before popping back into O/D. Sometimes it will happen 10-15...

ARP head studs are the way to go. As far as easy power goes I'm rolling a K&N intake, 3" BIC divorced downpipe and 3.5" BIC thunder exhaust. All easy to install and nice power gain, slams me in my seat and sounds mean as hell. Might want to get a new boost gauge too as the stock one won't go...

Back in 2008 I learned how to drive on an '02 Accord on a quarter mile of residential road, then went out and bought my '89 turbo with a wannabe racer mentality and no technical knowledge whatsoever - i thought a turbo was a 'go-fast' button or something. It was a pile; 175k, head gasket cracked...

Stripped the wire, touched it to the battery and heard the most beautiful beeping noise coming from the cabin. Thanks guys, you fucking ROCK.

Looks like it might be it, i stop detecting charge bout an inch down the blue. I've never done anything even remotely electrical before so I'm taking nooby little baby steps here. After disconnecting the battery am I ok to cut off the blue insulation and see whats up? I have duct tape but no...

Thanks guys, I'll do both first thing in the morning.

Did, solid. I'm looking through the Haynes manual and the TSRM and here's what im thinking: -It's not the alternator because then the battery would have no charge period right? -I find it odd that it conked right when I shut off the car, is there a main fuse or relay that could have blown?

Last night was my first sign of trouble. Half an hour of spirited driving on the freeway when my headlights flickered and my cd player shut off and reset after a couple seconds; this happened twice. This morning drove to work, fine. Lunch break, drove out and grabbed some BK then upon parking...

Got a braided steel line from Driftmotion in, car's steering better than ever. Thanks for all the input!

I don't care how hard it is, I'm pretty strong. All that concerns me is whether or not it is safe for the car. Do the lines need to be looped to keep the rack from eventually seizing and locking or is it alright as is? I took a quick peek under the hood and saw fluid squirting out the rubber...

Pump craps all the fluid within minutes but my week is so busy I literally have not even a half hour of daylight to try and diagnose it (much less fix it) but I have a lot of driving to do. I'm seeing that cutting the ps belt will revert it to manual steering and not destroy the pump as it's...

Corrected ignition timing today, got a decent amount of power back but still not feeling quite like a real Supra. Checking for leaks next. I noticed a couple things while testing; while revving in neutral my third TEMS light would come on then go back off. And while in L AKA 1st at WOT my boost...

you're my new best friend!!!

Thanks hvyman I couldn't find a 71 anywhere. 91supran/a that's what confuses me though, not once in my entire ownership of this car have I hit fuel cut, my boost tops out just under the +8. And with the cps how does that work? From some of what I've read it seems you loosen the bolt and just...

Quick update before work. Haven't gotten to base timing yet but I did a quick code check and I'm getting 34 (abnormal turbo pressure), 42 (no speed signal) and a 71, which apparently doesn't exist??? Turbo has me confused because boost is smooth and constant; nevertheless checking everything...

Sorry, I meant block internals were left alone, but it was machined with the head. When I was spanking A3 2.0Ts and Boxster Ss on a BHG I kind of dropped Hondas to the lower part of my challenge list. More the fool I, it seems. Anyway, just checked ignition timing and it's crap; like 91supran/a...

We can rule out a boost leak then, no fuel cut. Engine was rebuilt in '02 by the 2nd owner, paperwork indicates full rebuild costing nearly 10k, done by some shop in San Jose. From what I understand the valve guides were put in wrong so the valves were hitting the head at an angle, resulting in...

Got my baby back a few weeks ago. She's now very reliable but very, very slow (got owned by an '03 V6 Accord :3d_frown:) Before she finally conked out completely hg was mildly blown at cylinders 1 and 6, intake valves were all bent (apparently installed wrong by whoever rebuilt the motor in...

EA FAILS. What's with all these games nowadays kicking out the Supras? I can understand if they don't include our MkIII's but to exclude the MkIV is just blasphemous.
