TSRM is a great place to start... Like how to remove your turbo, step by step. http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/TSRM/MK3/manual.aspx?S=TC&P=10 Hunt around and you'll find great parts diagrams, too... With schematics of the gaskets you'll want to get...

^ Good to know! Thanks for the info!

I have a down pipe with a WB bung just behind the narrow band bung. I have heard heat = bad, and I thought of putting one of these in there: http://www.innovatemotorsports.com/xcart/product.php?productid=16148&cat=250&page=1 But for $90, it's $10 more expensive than a replacement...

Could you elaborate? I have no experience with a WB failure. My LC1 only has about 5K miles on it in 2 years. What is your experience with short (miles, time, relative to?) life expectancy?

You bet! And if it was your car, I wouldn't hesitate. Same for many other people's cars on this forum, and some of my local friend's cars. Some people (you can tell) know how to do it right. The big question is... Would you rather buy a complete stranger's "finished" car (And let's say for...

I can tell you're speaking from experience. :)

I never heard that... And if you figure you drive an average of 50 MPH? (mixed highway and city), you need a new one every 25,000 miles based on motec's information. That's not too bad, but it's not exactly confidence inspiring either. If you can't feel confident in the tune of your motor from...

You are absolutely right... My buddy was asking "Why so interested in an unmodified car? Isn't that what everybody buys them for is to modify them to make them fast? Isn't it just better to start with somebody selling one that is already modified?" After a 2 minute rant about how most ass...

Every once in a while a Supra add is just so spectacular that it deserves recognition... Like a bone stock 145,000 mile 89 turbo with an asking price of $9,200. :aigo: http://phoenix.craigslist.org/evl/cto/1900213319.html I'm going to honestly and whole heartedly hope for this one. Look...

Or move up in elevation! I know why "iwannadie" has that user name - because they live in Gilbert, AZ in August! I used to live in Tucson... so hot you can't get your balls to unstick from the inside of your leg. Moved up to Flagstaff (7,000 feet elevation) ~7 years ago, and haven't looked...

Yeah - You being an L1 Master Tech probably means that you know more about this sh*t than I do... I was under the assumption that you had a BLACK smoke issue - hence all of the fuel stuff. My bad. So now - On to what kind of smoke it is! You're not losing any water... Not from the...

No blue in the exhaust and smells like "normal" exhaust? Like "old muscle car" exhaust? What color is the smoke... I'm assuming black, not white based on the fuel cleaner analogy? Could be way too much fuel... I would think that would cause a CEL for rich condition, but ? - You say your...

Greek - #1 - STOP driving it. #2 - All good advice so far to try to find out where your coolant is coming from. Find out! This is advice because it says "noob" in your signature... I made the same mistake as you when I was new to Supras - BHG denial. I'd like for you to learn from...

What is THAT? Get a new machine shop. Nobody should have returned a motor to you looking like that. Especially not after the 10 MONTHS of tender love and care they obviously put into it. Scoring = not good. Let alone to mention the chunk down by the piston in that first picture. :3d_frown:
