I didn't think GE's got engine oil coolers? I have an external cooler on my factory delivered GE car. All the pipes, brackets are factory and their age and the fact they've never been tampered with indicate the car came with it. I always thought the cooler was an external trans cooler, but...

Guess he couldn't handle the Supra: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Toyota-Supra-1987-Turbo-BUILT-7MGTE-/261046631741?pt=AU_Cars&hash=item3cc7977d3d $15k spent? On what?

Will a JZA70 exhaust fit up well enough to an MA70 Supra? I know the engine end will be different, but are the mufflers etc in the same positions, and is the exhaust manifold on the same side? Reason I ask is there are plenty of good used stainless JZA70 exhausts around here at the moment. I...

Inspired by other threads, I made my own intake. The rice resonates at certain frequencies and makes eleventy billion HP.

Don't be a tightass, when you get your windscreens replaced, use a professional not the cheapest quote. This repair is the result of a poorly installed windscreen some time in the past. What happens is that the installer uses a cheapo windscreen seal cutter which chips and damages the paint...

You probably won't remember me. I had a mint 90 Supra turbo about four years ago: It proceeded to blow a head gasket on it's first trip home to my place, which I repaired with a head skim, composition gasket and ARP fasteners: That went fine for about 2 weeks, then this caused a massive...

O.K, odd title. When I shut the car down (yes a few minutes idling, and mild throttle before parking) the top turbo coolant line will make a squelch sound for a few seconds, a couple of times. Is this just the hot section of the turbo overheating the coolant locally after shutdown, turning it...

Can't seem to find it in the TSRM, this valve attaches to the 3000 pipe at one end, and accordian hose at the other end. The actuator line comes from over neat the throttle somewhere:

These side decals and body coloured wheel cutouts, seen them before? I have no reason to believe this car did not come off teh showroom with them. Regards, Andrew.

Would you consider these engines noisier in the valvetrain area than a modern hydraulic lashed engine? The rest of the engine is so quiet the valvetrain realy stands out. Not that it's abnormally loud, I guess the advances in hydraulic lash and NVH design really show on these older, cam over...

I am going to be mounting a large external trans cooler soon, and I usually mount them to radiators for airflow at low speeds/heavy traffic. Do you think there would be an advantage to mounting a trans cooler in front of the intercooler, and having a large puller fan behind the intercooler...

As some would be aware through other posts, my engine with a fresh head gasket and ARP head studs had a big overheat due to a popped welch plug. Well, it's been two weeks, and the residual symptoms appear to be none! That's right, so far, th eengine that got so hot it MELTED the plug leads...

Hi, Tried to remove my starter earlier to get at a welch/freeze/core plug from underneath, the top nut is rounded to buggery! There is NO WAY I am removing the intake manifold again to get in there!:cry: Anyone got any cool suggestions on how to get a hold on it? Can't really get a hold...

I had areally bad welch plug experience the other day on teh Supra. Replaced a ehad gasket a couple of weeks ago, laminated gasket and ARP studs. Had a welch plug fail on me on the way home at highway speeds ona back road. I didn't catch it on the gauge in time, first warning I had was temp...

Hi all, I have an 88 Supra with 7MGTE. The car is new to me, Ihave done aproximately 500kms with it. It is completely stock and just had a new head gasket put in by me(yes I know what I am doing, the head gasket is all sorted). Anyway, when the car has it's first start for the day, it...

Been reading the forums for a few weeks now, and decided to join up. I ive just outside Canberra Australia. Have just bought an 88 Supra with the 7MGTE engine, and factory blown head gasket! What made the car worth buying is it's low mileage (114k kms) and it's amazing condition. The...
