    Starting issue

    My supra was running great until I went to start it up today...It would start, idles for 2-3 seconds if that, acts like it is not getting fuel...When I hit the gas pedal it seems to stall the engine more or makes no difference. I have checked: 1.) Fuel pump is good? (Checked fuel line there...

    7MGTE-5SPD--->2JZGTE-6SPD...Who can?

    The 2JZ-6SPD swap is under $6K, making it affordable but I have not rule out the R154.

    A few runs, I saw?

    Few weeks back: 40-120mph roll! MKIII supra 2nd gear vs LS1 STS turboed camero! Supra shoots out 4+ car lenghts but camaro overtakes around 115mph! Supra boost 18.5 psi, camaro claims 8 psi, no hp numbers given but 650 plus ft-lb torque was thrown out? Why 18.5psi on supra only in a race but...

    Raped by a V10 supercharged mercedes amg

    Sad to report, got raped and educated. First time, I ever put $ on the line. Fortunately, the guy was very nice and declined the $50. He just wanted to see want the supra had. Probably felt bad, he told me the amg was 13's plus being that rich he did not need $50. I told him frankly mine was low...

    Retune after engine rebuild, necessary?

    B/c of an issue with my fuel controller settings being adjusted unknowingly. The #5 and #6 pistons melted. The supra retained all its charateristics after the rebuild. However, I have not hit boost above 12psi or pass 4K rpm yet. I am running the exact setup so is a retuned needed? Since...

    OEM Bearings

    I was worried about clearance issue's too so I went OEM. But l could've sworn the bearings were ACL marked up by Toyota to around $24 each. I would see if you can order the different bearings from somewhere else...I was too lazy and bent over for Toyota, got raped. Also my Toyota parts guy...

    R154 Removal HELP!!!

    On the R154, I would remove the PP bolts, slide PP and disc back into tranny! Recommended in the TSRM and from experience. The pull type design of the PP requires the tranny to back way out to clear the PP and this is hard with the tight space if the car is not on a lift.

    Which gas is best used for an 89 turbo

    Mine does well on SHELL 93 but if I could afford it, everyday, it would be Sunoco 104 or 110.

    PCV hose throwing out smoke signals?

    The white smoke signals from my PCV hose is trying to tell me something, what is it saying? I have not done the compression test but there is no oil shooting out the tail pipe when I revved the motor. Is it rings/pistons or a bent valve or valve seals...I missed 2nd gear the other night...

    Boosting issue in high gear!

    Probably vapor accumulating into a stream? My setup looks stock, all the goodies are basic and hidden. Before the car ran great, no spool, no oil issues. Friday night I abused it many times, there was a slight drop in oil pressue to 37 psi from 41 psi...I babied it home check the oil and it...
