Starting about a week ago my car has started to randomly start missing while driving (usually under a form of acceleration). What happens is while accelerating (normal or fast) the rpm's will be rising smoothly and then randomly miss a couple times and then keep rising and maybe miss some more...

Long story short i tried a small brake tourque, after letting out the clutch the tires didnt spin and the revs just sat in the same spot... stupid me i know. The clutch is an rps 6-puck with probably about 10,000km old and has always been biting hard since it was broken in. The clutch doesnt...

I am in the market for a new turbo for my 7m but have no clue where to start. I would like to reach around the 350-400rwhp mark. What turbo would be best suited for this application? While keeping in mind that cheaper is better- as long as the quality is there. Sorry for the newbiness but i...

Like the title says, i have noticed that with my headlights on my car, even tho up around 750, idles perfectly smooth but when i turn the lights off it idles at 650 but has the odd pop and miss. Does this information help me in anyway in trying to straighten out my slightly rough idle??? or is...

Its about time for another oil change and i do not know which oil to go with. I usually go with mobil 1 15w-50 but now everywhere i go only has 5w-50, what difference will going with the 5w-50 make? Is it too thin. I have also read that rotella 15w-50 is good and cheap which sounds good to me...

After trying many different things such as checking vac lines, isc, etc. to see if any would affect my rough idle problems, i tried unplugging the tps because i hear that it can sometimes cause rough idle. My observations prior to unplugging to tps were: vac at 16-17, fairly smooth idle at...

My 88 supra turbo sounds like its dieing. Just recently it has started acting up and it has gotten progressively worse. When first started cold its good, but once starting to warm up and the rpms begin to drop the idle gets extremly rough and fluctuates between 450-550 rpms constantly (sounds...

what kind of wideband setup do i need to work with the maft pro? What all components of the wideband do i need? Can i just purchase a bosch sensor for 70$ or do i need to get a full kit. I was originally looking at the innovative lm-1 but would there be any benefits of that over somthing more...

Is it better to run the hks ssqv with or without the stock bov? i will not be recirculating the ssqv. I have read about both set-ups so im now wondering.

i am looking at getting a maft pro after reading that it could be a much better alternative to the lex afm and 550 upgrade for relatively the same price. are there any downside to the maft pro? I would need a wideband setup to run the maft pro too... what would be a good wideband setup that is...

are there any kits out there or wideband sensors that directly fit into the bung of the stock 02 sensor? i got my ddp from BIC and never got him to weld in the second bung... damn. Does this mean i have to weld one in myself or is there an alternative?

i have been reading and have read that instead of using the tried and true method of using lexus afm and 550's and a walbro pump(is it really needed?) to safely saise fuel cut, you can just install a MAFT or MAFT pro instead. Which is better MAFT or MAFT pro and for what application? Are there...

i have noticed lately that my idle seems to be kind of low (600rpm's). I have heard that idle should be higher more like 700 rpm's. is this true? what could cause this low idle and what should i look for? is having a lower idle bad? -Dustin

ok, ever since i have been on these boards i have read alot of arguments on how much and what type of oil is best to be used in our (stock internals) 7MGTE engines. So lets settle this once and for all. Is it absolutly safe to put in the TSRM 4.4 litres in for an oil change or do u need more...

i am planning on getting a full, turbo-back exhaust system put on in the very near future once i start working again (just installed K&N fipk) and i am wondering which route to go when buying an exhaust system(cat back). Would it be cheaper to just go to my local muffler shop and get them to...

exactly what the title says... my 88turbo usually idles at about 600-700rpms when its all warmed up and then i just noticed that when i turn on the lights while sitting at idle my rpms drop to about 500 when the lights first go up and then the rpms slowly rise back to normal. is it normal for...

i am looking at soon buying a downpipe and testpipe for my 88 turbo but i am not sure what downpipe is best for the money and how important is it to replace/remove the stock turbo elbow? i have also heard that taking out cats can cause the engine to run different due to the different back...

how do i do it? where should i look? what should i hear? etc. I am just trying to make sure my car is performing as good as possible before i start putting money into performance parts.

i am looking at buying many products for my supra but where i live (regina, sask) there is not many auto performance shops... so i have to order online. So far i have only really been able to find www.suprastore.com that seems like a good site with fair prices. Has anyone had any experiences...

i just took my 88t out for a drive and all of a sudden i get a weird whine sound (kind of like a BOV) whenever i start to accelerate that ive never heard before... so i turn around and then all of a sudden i start to get the sound of an old trucks exhaust... i have absolutly no clue what just...
