So this is my first auto supra, I don't know hardly anything about the auto's. One day I was cruising on the interstate at like 70mph and the speedometer just dropped to 0 and my RPM's shot up. I pulled off to the side of the road, turned the car off and back on. Put it in drive and it starting...

I need some help figuring out what's going on with my auto trans. My last trans was slipping pretty bad so I got another auto trans from a friend. This trans worked perfectly fine before I got it. I then sent the valve body to Devin to have modified. I installed the valve body in the trans, then...

So I was sitting at a stop light, when the light turned green and I went to accelerate and the car instantly died and the check engine light came on. Tried to start the car again and it fired up, but then died again when I touched the gas. Ended up pushing the car off the road. Popped the hood...

So I just got a divorced down pipe. While trying to take the stock down pipe off I ran into a problem. I got all 4 nuts off the elbow that connect it to the turbo. Then I went to pull the elbow off and it would not budge. Tried hitting around it with a rubber mallet, then mallet and screw...

So what exactly would be the symptoms of a bad radiator cap?

Yesterday I did a boost leak test. I found that my PCV system was blowing air pressure straight out back into the intake hose. It was coming out of the port on the throttle body that goes to the top of the valve covers and then to the intake hose. I was under the impression that the PCV system...

I have a 7mgte with the auto tranny. The motor is mostly stock, has HKS metal head gasket, ARP studs, K&N filter, NGK wires and plugs gapped to .028. Also a 3inch cat back exhaust. The car sputters and has a loss of power at around 4.5-5k RPMs whenever I have the ECT power button pushed on for...

I'm trying to figure out what oil I should put in my Supra. I just got it about a month ago and have no idea what oil its been running on, if that matters. Its a 1990 7mgte with 137k miles on it. As far as I know its the stock motor, only thing I know thats been done to it is an HKS metal head...

Now that I have a supra again, its been a long time since I'v had one of these with all stock parts. I'm wondering if my stock blow off valve is working properly or if boost is blowing straight out of it. When you take the stock BOV off should you be able to blow straight through it with no...

So just a few days ago I picked up this supra. Its a 1990 Turbo, Targa. This is by far the cleanest MK3 Supra that I have owned, and one of the cleanest I'v ever seen in person. inside and out. Its mostly stock right now. Only has HKS metal head gasket, ARP hardware, 3inch exhaust, and K&N...

So just recently my 1jz swapped mk3 started having a cold start up problem. Started about 4 days ago. I would start the car and when i touched the gas pedal the car would immediately die. Also, If i started it and just let it idle it would die after about a min. After several times of starting...

So I'm trying to figure out if on the stinger ems v4 software you can select what size your injectors are? Or can the software read the duty cycle regardless? I have a tune for the 1jz but I dont have stock injectors and the stinger is reading 120% duty cycle at just 15psi. I have 440's in the...

So today my 1jz swapped mk3 starts missing out real bad. I simply think it needs new spark plugs so I went and bought new plugs. Put the plugs in and the car wouldn't start, wouldnt even turn over. Pulled the plugs back out and there was gas sitting in the cylinders. There was even gas pouring...

So I got a 1jz swapped mk3. It has a Stinger Stand alone system on it. The car will fire right up when its cold. But if I drive it for a little while and it reaches operating temp then shut it off and park it for a min or two then try to start it again it wont fire right up. It sits there and...

Just yesterday I got my second supra. I traded my Eclipse for it and its a 1jz/ Stinger Stand alone, swapped mk3. Just got it home and the hydro pump pulley is starting to make a wierd squelling noise. Does this mean the pump needs replaced? No coolant is leaking and the car is not over heating...

I'm putting on a maft translator with the GM sensor. I also have a front facing intake manifold, will i need to keep my ISC valve? If so I'll have to make a place for it on my intake manifold, as it does not have a place for it..

So a few months ago my supra got rod knock. I finally got around to pull the engine out and getting it to a machine shop to have it checked out. Turns out the noise was coming from #6 rod bearing. However, the damage to the bearing was very minimal. The shop also found that my crank had some...

So i was wondering if anyone has used one of these turbos or knows anything about them. Are these turbo's any good? Its a Godzilla T76 turbo with a .86 hotside Here is a link to it...

My car has rod knock and I have no where to take my car to pull the motor and do the work on it. so i was curious if there is anyone in Illinois or Indiana or surrounding areas that has a garage and would be willing to help me do this task of getting my car back on the road. If anyone has a...
