    Heater valve

    A new one of these suckas cost me $200! Dang! I coulda bought one for $35 on ebay, but it was an 87. So I didn't feel like placing my cars health on a 20 year old plastic part. The thing broke right before I left on a 90 mile jaunt, fortunately right next to a gas station, I had enough stub...

    2jz 300 sc turbo

    Is this considered a dirty word? A guy at work just inherited a 96 300SC that has a 2jz. I smoked him in my 91 stocker, but am wondering if people put turbo kits on these cars much. Here in California, I can't do much at all with my 7M, but thought maybe I could turbo up a 300SC Is this a...

    PVC IC piping?

    I saw an old thread on another site with a link to use of PVC piping for IC. They said it worked great, but the link was dead. I searched in here, but couldn't find anything either. Has anyone tried this or is it been proven to be a bad application?

    Can I upgrade turbo without doing anything else?

    I think my turbo is making a screaming/scraping type of noise (something is...) so, I was wondering if I can get a 57 trim for a little more performance. But would I need to get a different AFM or something? Or can I just put on a better turbo and call it good?

    turbo noise?

    I can go hard enough to spool the turbo up, but not full on, and the motor sounds perfectly normal. But if I really mash it, I get the same spool up, but the motor is making some weird loud scraping/shreiking noise. What does a turbo sound like when dying? #2) Can I replace the turbo with a 57...

    In my local newspaper this morning is an article called "Cars you can bank on" It's written by Larry Printz in the Virinian Pilot in Norfolk Va. I'm in Socal, reading it in the Ventura Co Star. He says the 86-92 is a car that people are going to want to have. It has a rep as a well-built and...

    Best color for a black 91 spoke wheels?

    My center caps yellowed out so I painted them some kind of silver/chrome. Now they don't match the stock aluminum/silver stock color so I want to paint them all something cool. Does anyone have any suggestions/pics of good paint/color? Thanks

    My supra's first rain..good grief!

    It rained here in So Cal a few weeks ago, and now I know why there are so many topics about the targa seal. I think it rained more IN the car than it did outside. Thank goodness I had a few towels lying in the backseat:nono:

    Feels like a grinding bearing?

    When I start up from a stop, when cold only, gently getting her rolling, I feel a grinding type feeling. My mech couldn't feel it, but the wife can. It's an auto. Seems like it only does it on the first roll or two from a stop. After she warms up, it goes away.. We put it on a lift and tried...

    Seems like my headlights stay on more and more often now, instead of turning off autoomatically, so I have to shut them off manually. Is there a switch or button switch somewhere? Thanks in advance guys, Doug

    Whats your worst mileage for a tank?

    I seem to average about 18 overall. I'm always lusting for a jz as the videos etc are just too cool. I have also wondered what the gas mileage is on one of thos "hot" cars with big HP. No issue for me as I can drive my prius when I want to, but just wondering what you guys get during a few days...

    BOV ??'s and MAF ??'s thanks guys

    1) Should I be able to hear my BOV in my stock 91? What does it sound like, and when should I hear it? It's an auto if that matters. 2) I do have a K&N drop in, and have since heard that it can dirty up my MAF. Is there an acceptable cleaning procedure I need to follow? Or can I just shoot...
