    Won't idle, misfire, running rich, advanced timing. Please help!

    CPS defiantly sounds set wrong. look up in the TRSM on how to do it correctly. it is tricky as you need to allow a extra tooth so when the cps slides into the helicoil gear it then meshes at the correct spot, alot of people get caught on it. other suggestion would be checking the internal wiring...

    New PS pump, really hard steering

    Likely as hinted back at the start regarding if you can see the fluid moving around inside the reservoir. Inside the reservoir is a wire mesh screen which acts as a filter, i can guarantee this is blocked so the pump is starving of fluid and cannot build enough fluid pressure to turn the wheels...

    E85 and electricty

    I understand that, but the issue i have is i dont have that connector. seems the fuel pump manufacture pierburg dont offer it as a spare part. And getting one from a OEM car will be difficult in NZ. Hence why i was asking about the qualities of electricity when submerged in E85 Anyone?

    White residue around exhaust manifold. Pics included

    Could be some sort of car wash? been sprayed over the engine and has caked onto the hot components, and hasn't been washed off during a pressure wash? I wouldn't be worried. Also check all exhaust manifold threads in the head, its common on 7Ms to strip the threads then require helicoiling...

    Mechanic used stock head bolts after rebuild, is that acceptable?

    You also have to think about it from the mechanics point of view, hes not a supra owner or an enthusiast he dosent know that Toyota messed up the head torque in these cars. He is just doing his job and rebuilt it to the torque that the manual said. If he put his own opinion on every torque...

    Oil pressure at the track to low?

    When the engine is cold the relief system works perfectly, i have a Greddy gauge that's a digital stepper motor and very sensitive, the pressure at startup shoots to 500kpa 72psi then the relief must open it causes pressure to instantly drop back to 420kpa 60psi which is normal when cold...

    E85 in a supra questions

    Interesting. this is why i started this thread to get some real world answers. The internet is full of all sorts, mainly being that it is corrosive and attacks aluminum. Even posts about the fuel sitting in the intake/head after engine shut off starts corroding. I wont be using E85 much, mainly...

    E85 in a supra questions

    Awesome, guessing your running a 2jz? Yeah i understand the extra flow requirements of E85. Im at the point now where i have the standalone ecu for it so i need to piece together a fuel system that can handle more power (its all stock currently) then its off to be tuned The question is do i set...

    Power steering issue!

    The way ive always flushed power-steering is to remove the return line back to the reservoir and connect it to another pipe and pipe it directly into a waste oil container. Then with another person get them to start the engine and turn the wheels while you pour clean atf into the reservoir. Yes...

    Bolt on Big Brake Kit For around 300$.

    I run 15mm spacers on my car and there Toyota bore 60.1. So i had to sand away the small amount of hub centric ring that stuck out past the disk so then the spacer could sit flush on the disk. it was only a couple of milimeters. for a wheel centric ring you may just be able to slide it on...

    2JZ Overheating Problem

    The way they flow test and claim how many CFM a electric fan can move is free air with no restriction. As soon as you mount it onto a radiator with a big restriction in front of it the CFM output falls dramatically. Pretty much all 6 cylinder turbo cars ive seen at the track with some electric...
