Hello all,

So to start at the beginning, long story short
I got my first supra in trade for my 1991 toyota 4-runner (3vze 35" tires)


the runner :


first supra 88 targa turbo:
p1969416_2.png


after fixing enough of the previous owners stupidity(such as using a air compressor regulator as a boost controller and punching the cat "out" or rather into the muffler)and having it running good got dreaded rod knock!!!! so i planned on rebuilding the 7mgte with the help of my roommate who then stole my build money .

luckily i had recently met someone who was building a mk2 supra with a 7m. He was bored with the project and parting it out, so i purchased from him a fresh 7mgte longblock,mpt70 turbo,t4 manifold,exhaust pipe, wastegate, bov, intercooler with pipes, walbro255,aeromotive fpr,and ss clutch line. I then purchased a maft-pro and with the help of charles (gottadiesel) got her running good (still had stock injectors so i wasnt running much boost)

Then ..........while boosting up a hill the vacuum line popped off my wastegate (supra hit warp speed) and i melted a piston:( I did drive it for a couple months unsure of exactly why she was smoking soo much


So there i was..... wondering where to go from there ...i had already dumped heaps of money under the hood of this car that had a salvaged title,thrashed interior, and bondo starting to pop my paint around the door handle.........

i purchased a $600 DD (94 eclipse) and began looking for a clean shell

i found my clean 90 turbo shell in march of 2011 and began planning. I knew i wanted to overbuild this one. so the planning began...

when my eclipse was on its last leg i sold it and purchased a 7mge engine off craigslist and began driving the 90 supra

I am currently N/A So this is the new beginning...............

Tonight I got the ms3 board built to the "basic level" I would be ready to test it except they forgot to include one resistor :-\ so I might have to try and find one tomorrow

Are you going to make a patch harness?

Might be better to just make a whole new harness with. 12' one from diy.

Then run seq fuel and ign using 1zz smart coils.

I am going to order a 12ft ms3 harness and a 12f ms3x harness so I could go that route very easily

Where is the best place to pick up some 1zz-fe coils? Local parts store??

Well I've been working on getting all the kinks worked out.. Tracked down my power steering leak to the flexible section of the high pressure line... Replaced it with one off my parts car which turned out to have a hole in the same freaking spot :-\ anyway I noticed my 90 doesn't have a steering damper while my 88 does why did they do away with it?? Or am I supposed to have one? It doesn't have anywhere to mount???

Received my wiring harnesses today as well as my boost control valve, intake temp sensor, tuning cable, and my knock control board for the ms3

I installed the knock control module and closed the megasquirt case should be good to go:)
