    smoking turbo? Need help!

    yea its smoking on the outside of the manifold. You could see liquid start to build up and bubble as the engine heats up. If I rev the engine more, then the manifold starts to smoke even more. I haven't taken off the manifold yet to see if its soaked inside.

    smoking turbo? Need help!

    I just swapped in a built 7mgte into my na supra, and am having problems getting it to idle correctly. I have been messing with the timing, but the car has started to smoke a lot from the exhaust manifold and now from the exhaust itself. I know it's not leaking from the valve covers, and the...

    retro-spec raised cowl hood 1st pics of development.

    I remember him saying he was only going to make these in fiberglass. I might be wrong, but I intend on buying a fiberglass one either way.

    Wheel Fitment & Question Thread

    I'm running 19x9.5+35 all around with 245/35/19 up front and 275/35/19 in rear with eibachs and it fits really well. Eibachs don't lower it much, so if you want to go lower then I would recommend rolling the fenders. I barely rub if I hit a bump going fast.

    Do I need a new wiring harness?

    I am going to pay a shop to swap a 7mgte into my car which is originally an 87 NA 5spd. I already have a 87/88 7mgte 5spd ecu, but I am wondering if I need to purchase a new harness or could the NA harness be used? Thanks for any input. Will

    Anyone with a Shine whale tail or Bomex on their pre 89

    The holes are not the same. I own two 87's and bought the shineauto whaletail in the group buy, but I would've had to drill holes in the hatch in order for it to fit. The whaletail has the same holes as the 89+ piece wing.

    Dual or single tip muffler

    Get the Raptor Racing dual tip exhaust. I got the 3" tips which he usually has in stock, and it looks great. I live in California so we have the Nazi police pulling over any car that doesn't look stock. I haven't had any problems since it looks stock, and it has a nice low rumble compared...

    Clutch issue

    Thanks for the tip! I've already tried peeking my big ass head under there to find out where it was originally leaking from, and I know its gonna be a pita! I'm just grateful it's not the clutch or anything of that nature.
