Im going to try to explain everything in this post that I have done in the last couple months in which ive had this sporadic overheating problem. Ok, I bought an 87 mk3 with a rebuilt engine with 40 over pistons and arp studs, stock turbo, 3'' custom exhaust, hks MHG, pretty new core radiator...

A couple weeks ago, I started my car up and it had a very rough idle and there was some smoke (white/blue) coming out of my exhaust. I never had a problem with exhaust smoke so I knew something was wrong. I popped the hood and noticed that the turbo was also smoking at the point where the...

Hey guys, Ive been looking at the 6262 precision turbo and I was wondering what supporting mods would be needed for this upgrade. I already have 3'' exhaust, a 255 walbro, 550 injectors, lexus afm, and rebuilt engine with .040 pistons and arp studs. I was also wondering if the HKS FCON...

I first thought that I had a problem with my alternator but I am now considering that there may be a big vacuum leak. At idle, the engine runs poorly and idles anywhere from 500rpms up to 1500rpms. When I drive it, it sometimes stalls out when I put it in neutral. The rpms will fall all the way...

I've had a lot of overheating problems in the last couple months ever since I've had the 60 trim ct26, which I know everyone said is prone to overheating/failing so I changed my electric fan and put the stock fan clutch on. I also changed some of the hoses like the radiator hose and some of the...

Hey guys, On one of my other threads I was saying that I now have smoke coming out of the manifold and mostly white smoke with a blue tint coming out of the exhaust when I start the car up. I know the majority of the time its a bhg but I have an hks mhg that was installed not too ago and...

I know I've posted about this before, but a around a month ago I was driving around and when I put the car in neutral the rpm's fell down past idle all the way to 0, the battery light came on, and the car completely shut off when I was still going about 40mph. Since then, its done it a couple...

Hey guys, I travel from Orlando to Tampa and back every weekend and every time I get off the exit ramp, the engine starts to overheat immediately and I have to pull over and shut it off. But then after letting it cool down for 20 minutes, I am able to drive off and it wont overheat again...

I recently installed a bigger turbo (ct 60 trim) and I have been experiencing overheating problems which I never had before with the stock turbo. After driving around for 20-30 minutes, the engine bay gets extremely hot, especially being here in Florida. However, the temp gauge is dead in the...

Hey guys, So I was recently having some boost leak problems and after tighening some clamps on all the hoses I took a quick look underneath the car by the exhaust and noticed that one of the two screws holding the exhaust together was really loose. I tightened it and now my boost leak problem...

So I just got new tires put on and on the way back I see that my temp gauge is leaning towards the hot side. I pop my hood open and see that the fan isnt on which is set to turn on when the engine reaches 185 degrees. Anyways, I bought a new fan and it still isnt working. The motor from the fan...

What is the difference between these 2 turbos? I am trying to buy a 60 trim but I understand that the 60-1 is VERY unreliable so i was wondering if anyone had any experience with the 60 trim and whether or not it is reliable. Thanks

Hey guys, I was just wondering around how much of an increase in horsepower i would see by tuning my mk3 from 7psi to 14psi. I know everyone says its around 5-10hp for every pound of boost but I was seeing if anyone has had theres dyno'd and tuned and how much it increased after the tune. thanks

Hey guys, I'm don't know much about Supras yet but I just purchased an 87 mk3 with some engine work already done. It has some built internals like .40 over pistons and arp head studs. It also has an HKS PFC F-CON, HKS BOV, and full exhaust. I dont want to get a bigger turbo (yet at least) but Im...
