    Photo shop request.

    I never been much for the looks of split spoke rims, especially on the supra. But that's just me. If I had to choose between the two it would definitely be the gunmetal one. 5 spoke FTW!

    Automotive Training Schools

    Remember I'm just going to train and study in the US, then come back home to Belize to work. Regular mechanics are a dime a dozen around here, but more and more new and modern vehicles coming into the country every day, and good qualified technicians trained in troubleshooting and engine...

    Bogging WOT??

    Am I that far off? BTW I had this bogging down before the turbo really started smoking, just got worse now. Another thought for 7mgte1988: Does you car bog down under low psi as well, or just high boost? At first I used to think i might have spark blowout, but my car bogs down even at low...

    Bogging WOT??

    a further comparison on our problems. What condition is your turbo in? My turbo is completely shot and smoking like crazy. Could it be that the turbo is dumping oil into the intake and bogging down the engine? just throwing thoughts out there.

    Bogging WOT??

    So let's say it is the knock sensor, then the ecu retards timing, right? Would that make the wideband just jump all the way to RICH? Sorry if I'm thread jacking, just thought might get some more technical info the the whole problem. This seems to be the same problem me and my mechanic have...

    Bogging WOT??

    I got a similar problem, As far as I could figure out, its not boost dependant, nor RPM dependant, but whenever I would go WOT or even just put the engine on heavy load, the AFR would go RICH and the engine would bog down. Does that sound kinda like what you got? BTW, My check engine light is...

    pics of blown piston

    ok that would be just bad, cuz my new setup used the same injectors. fuel pump was upgraded to walbro, and got a wideband monitor now.

    pics of blown piston

    - my mechanic asked that question, can't remember, but 120 in 5th with stock drivetrain = around 5k?? or higher? - was doing a good run thru hilly and curvy road for about 5 mins, then the high boost was only bout 20-30 seconds. - spark plugs were NGK iridiums gapped to reg riemer's specs (i'd...

    pics of blown piston

    I was going 120mph in 5th.. I suspect the fuel pump couldn't keep up and i ran lean causing that.. i have just finished the rebuild, so i'll be posting more pics as soon as i can..

    Here's what happens when you have a good MHG torqued down properly and boosting 19 psi on stock CT26 with stock internals. stock fuel pump with 550 cc injectors.
