Hey all, hopefully someone has done this before and knows - I'm putting my engine (7m) together on the stand and the exhaust manifold i'm using is forcing me to add a big spacer to keep the compressor housing from hitting the manifold but the angle of the T4 flange has it pushing the turbo out...

Hey, so I've been chasing a misfire, occurs at idle, not on every rev, randomly. Started a few months ago and has gotten worse over time to the point where now I can't ignore it anymore. Spark/coil is good. Compression is good (170-180psi in every cylinder). A/F (at idle) stays around 14.7-15...

Hey there, has anyone had any luck recently buying the retainers needed to install the 3-piece spoiler? The dealer told me that they're all gone and they can't get them anymore, if that's truly the case then I'm pretty bummed that I waited 4 years to install this damn spoiler and the parts...

Hey all, So I've got my engine torn apart and I had figured it would be no big deal to order a new set of rings. The old ones aren't bad, there's less than 30K on the motor since it was re-bored and machined and all that - I can still see the cross-hatch on the cylinders like brand new so it...

So I just got back from a spirited drive, a couple runs 0-140, lots of messin about and while I let the car cool I opened the hood to look around and found this big puddle of oil under my air filter (obviously my air filter is soaked with oil now too)... Luckily I'm running a Maft-Pro so it...

Hey, I've been meaning to put together a new build thread for a long long time, I figure now that the summer is winding down and my build is basically going from semi-complete to starting over I might as well start a thread... Here's the long-winded, rambling, and boring backstory, I bought my...

Hi, So yesterday I finally got around to installing my Maft Pro. I have it set up in speed density mode and the boost controller set up and working. I have it tapped in to monitor Vf on Ax1 and this is where I'm confused. At idle Vf pretty much stays at 4.43 volts. Once it's warmed up and...

Hey all, my turbo died last week - sounds like a siren when it spools up, smoke comes out of the center of the turbo... not too much shaft play tho. Anyway, I've had a ct26 on a shelf in the garage for about 8 years. It worked well and only had about 15K miles on it when it was taken off the...

Hey guys, so my build is progressing along, (almost time for a build thread) but I noticed that the left rear corner of the car was about an inch and a half to 2 inches lower than the right - I assumed the spring/shock was worn out. (It had KYB GR2 shocks with Intrax springs) so I pulled both...

Heloo! I haven't posted here in a looooong time but it's spring and I'm finally have a drivable Supra again after years of staring at piles of parts and parts-cars and now I've got to choose a clutch kit. Here's the background on my dilemma: 1. I've been driving for 17 years but I've got less...

So I have 2 7MGTEs torn apart and both of their exhaust manifolds are cracked identically, both also have the same stud on top snapped off in the manifold - is this super common? I mean my small sample size tells me that 100% of them are cracked! :icon_razz Should I look to have one repaired...

So I've resumed work on my Supra after having it torn apart and sitting untouched for almost 3 years and now I've arrived at my first real decision. Eventually I'm going to have to upgrade to 550cc injectors when I start upgrading but for now I just want the car running stock to get the engine...

Well I guess it’s time for me to start my build thread because it won’t be long before I’m in need of major help and one thread to put all of my questions and planning in is probably the way to go. Plus, it’ll be fun to look back as the project progresses and see where I started from and where...

Hey there Supramania - I just found this site a couple weeks ago - this place is great compared to what was on the web just 4 or 5 years ago! Well it's been 3 years since I shelved my Supra in exchange for a GrandAm. I'd just gotten tired of pouring money into the Supra and I'd had a little...
