Unfortunately, I didn't know about piston slap and how bad it would be when building the engine, I know now. Thanks for mentioning swain tech. I've never heard of them before, but it seems like this might be a good option to tighten up the clearances.

Unfortunately, the noise doesn't go away completely after it's fully warm. I guess I'm S.O.L. Thanks Iboughtasupra, I don't know what I'm going to do yet, but I will keep your block in mind. Anyone else have any comments on this situation?

You can hear it without trying. It's not loud by any means, but you can still hear it. I posted a video to Youtube. Sorry in advance for the terrible video quality, I took it on my phone. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CPxSsrijixI I talked to the guy that did the machine work and assembled...

Have you heard anything about Supra's with piston slap having long and prosperous lives, or do they fail prematurely, like eating too much red meat?

Fella's, My '88 7M-GTE has got a case of piston slap. I am running JE forged pistons and only have 900 miles on the car since the rebuild. It's quite loud when the engine is cold and quiets down for the most part when it's fully warmed, but never goes completely away. My blueprint for my...

Guys, I'm back again. So I've got 3 different AFM Lexus sensors. They all read pretty much the same when I check them with an ohm meter across the THA-E2 Connections. The weird thing is all of the other readings across the other pins are open curcuits, I'm not getting any reading. I have...

Awesome guys! Tons of useful information, I truly appreciate it. I am definitely going to look into the Maft-Pro. All I know about it basically is what you guys have told me, so I have some research to do. I'm sure I can sell my AFM and Apexi Neo setup on ebay and pretty much pay for...

What do you think about the AFM in the above reply??? I will look into the BOV. Thanks!!!!

The bov is not recirculated. The engine dies though without boosting. I can be decelerating up to a stop sign, be calmly driving at 2,000 RPM, push in the clutch and the engine will die. Does this still point to the BOV being the problem?

So I removed the Neo and jumped the Karman wires and the car seemed to run pretty much the same. I took another look at the TPS today and decided to readjust it. This time I got it spot on and was able to adjust the timing to 10 degrees and the engine would rev. I am still having a somewhat...

Alright, So today I spent most of the day working on the Supra. I set my TPS according the the TSRM and immediately noticed a difference. The car would rev when set at 10 BTDC, but idled pretty shitty, not nearly as good as it should. I ended up with with 13-14 degrees BTDC and a decent idle...

So I just finished my rebuild and have had the engine running. It idles rough and won't rev at all when I have the ignition timing set to 10 Degrees, it just stumbles and almost dies. I have advanced the ignition anywhere from 15-20 degrees and it will finally rev up. Is it okay to be running...

What's up guys! I've been lurking around on the forums for the past month or two scoping out the best products and learning about the almighty MK3 Supra. I purchased a decently modded 1988 Supra with a blown motor, a very nice redone interior, sound system, and a decent paint job. So I'm in...
