    CxRacing 7MGTE Intercooler kit install with pictures

    It was opening at idle. I could physically watch it do it. At first I was sure I had the smaller/weaker spring in it. I swapped out springs three times with different weights/sizes and it never worked. I could take the vaccuum line off of the BOV, plug it with my thumb, and it idles perfectly...

    CxRacing 7MGTE Intercooler kit install with pictures

    I bought a HKS to Tial BOV adapter, found it online somewhere. Unfortunately I couldn't get my car to idle to save its life with the Tial no matter what spring I used, so I switched it back out to the HKS. This is mine mounted, granted it is the DM kit, but still allows for room for the...

    Apexi Neo install

    So glad I bothered to ask. Sometimes you feel like you might be asking stupid questions and I certainly didn't want to offend someone if they have already tried that option, but glad it worked! I sent mine in a couple years ago. If you call them, they will email you a PDF form that you fill out...

    Apexi Neo install

    Hopefully this is a non-issue, but do you have the most updated Firmware on the Neo? I only ask because it was a known issue on the Neo and Karman Vortex cars to have all sorts of tuning problems on the older Firmware versions. You have to send it in to Apex'i to get it updated, but it fixes a...

    Coilovers or Shock/Springs??....keep in mind, I'm broke.

    I've got the Megan EZ coilovers and I think they ride great for what I want them for and how little I drive my car. It is the fun car and weekend car so it doesn't see any kind of daily driving or anything of that nature. I wanted the adjustability of height and dampening and was able to get...

    Manual Boost Controllers and You

    Get a good quality MBC and you won't have a problem. I've got the Hallman and it works perfectly and holds whatever boost level you want with no overboosting or pressure falling off. Granted I don't have a CT26, but the Hallman is shown to hold better than some EBC's when you get into higher...

    Car Will Not Idle w/ Tial BOV and Proper Spring - Ideas?

    My car has been down for the better part of a few years and everything is finally back up to where it should be, almost. This time around I went with the DM IC kit and got a genuine Tial BOV with it. When I first started the car it wouldn't idle AT ALL. I swapped the standard 6psi spring to the...

    Source for Headlight Switch? Part is Discontinued

    Interesting! I called 3 dealerships in Austin that told me it was discontinued and Curt at Elmhurst told me it was as well. Call me stupid then I guess!

    Source for Headlight Switch? Part is Discontinued

    I didn't mean everyone elses is, but it is a part that wears out pretty easily over time with the various functions that it has. My first MK3 in 2000 had the same issue and I replaced it, but of course back then, they were available. I'm certainly not opposed to buying a used one, just want a...

    Source for Headlight Switch? Part is Discontinued

    Trying to get my Supra to pass TX basic inspection. Fortunately it is now 25 years old and doesn't have to pass emissions anymore, but unfortunately, not everything is working up to par to pass. I need to replace the headlight switch. It is old and there are no more "clicks" in it and it won't...

    Anybody have any experience or know of somebody with these

    I had a set and once I had them in my hand, there was no way I was going to use them on the car. I ended up selling them to someone else who was going with a custom setup for a small toy as well. The perches themselves are flimsy and not strong at all. I ended up just buying real coilovers and...

    No power to Fuel Pump or relay

    Fuel pump shouldn't kick on when you turn the key to on. Pump should only be priming and turning on when you start the car. When you first turn the key you might hear it prime for a second or two, but that's it. It won't continue to run after that unless you start the car. Bypassing the relay...

    No power to Fuel Pump or relay

    Search for a thread here that mentions bypassing the fuel pump relay. Its just a matter of putting a jumper wire on two of the terminals in the relay harness (passenger side inner fender, easy to get to). See if it will start after that. Mine did the same thing after sitting for a few years and...

    Looking for a 7mgte

    I have a 7M block that still has a good crank, bearings, and rods in it currently. I know that one of the piston skirts was damaged, but the cross hatching and condition of the cylinders is perfect. It only had 500 miles put on it prior to having oil issues due to the skirt issues from the NPR...

    7mgte swap gone wrong?

    If the car cranks and cranks and you have changed absolutely nothing at all since the last time I did start, I would be it has something to do with the CPS. 1. Does the tach move or "bump" at all when you crank it? If it doesn't move, then no CPS signal. 2. If it isn't moving, have someone...

    Any Shine Discounts??

    I used to work for MVP as their MK3 specialist. They are VERY customer service driven and always strive to give the best service they can and they actually stick to that, even should something not go according to plan. I am about to order some Shine products myself and will be using MVP for that...

    Have a question on a HKS BOV???????

    I certainly don't mean to argue, but in my experience with these cars, this is not true entirely. I have sold and installed countless vented to atmosphere BOV's on MK3's in my time working for SupraSport in the late 90's and then with MVP and PHR in 2003-2005. Everything from pretty much stock...

    Intercooler and Radiator Upgrade?

    I have the "drop in" Driftmotion kit and the best way I found to install it was to get the piping sitting where it needed to be FIRST and then put the intercooler in. I first tried it the other way and ran into more problems that way. If you have a 87-88 car, you can retain the use of your...

    Question about Apexi NEO

    No the Neo works with the AFM, it does not take the place of the AFM. It intercepts the AFM signal and changes it so the factory ECU will pull fuel out or add it depending on what adjustments you are making. Without the AFM signal, a Neo isn't worth much ;) I was one of those back in 2004 and...
