Cant wait to see where this project goes. Years later, and it must be stated again since this is a new thread. Looking at your dash made me itch

Based on what you describe I would check the spark plugs to see if you can isolate which cylinder is burning oil. I had a very similar problem as what you describe, and it ended up being a cracked intake valve guide, cylinder 4 in my case. The first machine shop didnt spot it because of where...

You can soak the rusting bit in oxalic acid (its a very weak acid), it will dissolve the rust to give you a better idea of the condition.

I do believe you are running low on Teriyaki sauce sir,

Re: Some Production-Car Details Emerge: Turbo Straight Six, No Manual Transmission? I would have to say your first point only holds water if we're under the assumption that ALL of the Supra crowd have a careers to facilitate buying a toy such as this. Some MK4 owners are poorer than I am...

Re: Some Production-Car Details Emerge: Turbo Straight Six, No Manual Transmission? Let's be fair, most Supra fans wont be able to afford the car when it comes out especially with the dealer markups. I think Toyota is making the right choice not focusing on power or speed anymore. Same here...

I mounted my Oil cooler in the factory location using zip ties to attach it to the intercooler. Ill get pics for you tomorrow.

One solution you can use, is a barb fitting that will allow you to connect the -AN ends to a factory type oil hose. The only type the factory oil cooler is doing anything is if the pressure is over 35psi iirc

I used the socketless hose. You do not need clamps on them trust me. I boiled the hose ends in hot water and threw the fittings in the freezer to make sliding them on easier.

I didn't take that many photos when I was installing everything. Once you get started its hard to stop. I do have a few photos however of the mounting location I chose. It is still behind the passenger fog lamp. Doesn't interfere with the intercooler piping at all.

This is how it starts, first a few mods here and there. By the end of the year you'll be telling us how you plan to fit a 60-1 trim on the car.

Piggyback wont have the control over the ecu functions of the EGR. A standalone would. There is a bit of a debate on whether or not you should remove the EGR on a USDM ECU. To be honest it really doesnt matter since it only operates at cruising speeds and is closed at idle and wide open...

Assuming you did the head gasket job properly. Many here will know what I mean by that, then I wouldn't waste my time with either the Lex/550 mod with SAFC or Maft-Pro. If you want to do this properly and ensure a good tune and a happy engine. Go for a Standalone off the bat or a piggyback. I...

Duude the 91-92 Deep Red looks so sexy in person. If it were 91 I wouldve ordered a MK3 with that interior color. MMMM

Man I really wish Toyota kept the itemized build #'s for the MK3. I would kill to know how many Two Tones were produced in the 2.5 year period.
