    1986 Supra LS (5.3 Vortec) Build Thread

    I figure the 5.3 without a lot of work should be able to get to 400hp or so. Right now untuned my car scoots. I will probably do a rebuild on my engine in the near future. Have the heads ported and go with a slightly bigger cam then the 02+ Z06 cam that I am running. I might try to bump...

    1986 Supra LS (5.3 Vortec) Build Thread

    Good to see another one of these. I completed mine last August and love it. I have an L33. 5.3l aluminum block with 799 heads and 9.9:1 compression. I used the r154. Check my build thread for specifics. Not sure which way you are leaning but I have the drawings for the motor mounts in my build...

    has anone fit 295/40/17 mickey thompson et streets on their mk3??

    A buddy of mine ran 305 radials. I think it was on 17s but don't remember the aspect ratio. It was like 15 years ago. You would be hard pressed to get a 315 under there.

    The FIRST documented 4l80e 2jz-Mk3 Supra build. "56k beware"

    Nice adapter piece from Dave H. I sold him a few adapters when he did a 2 piece unit. The billet piece is a work of art. Nice job on the install. Always fun to do what can't be done.

    Looks good. My buddy has an 89 turbo 5 speed he is selling. Redone interior, suspension, and engine. I think he is looking for 3500 though. He is near st Charles. Are you in the STL area?

    Garbage ABS?

    You put the right tires for the season on any car and they will go damn near anywhere. A set of snow tires make almost any car drive able in the winter. The guy who designed the c7 drives his corvette in the winter on the right tires.

    1JZ Swap into Miata - No Start, no fuel, no Injector Pulse ... Expert Suggestions Pls

    1jz ecus are notorious for going bad. Have you seem the Ecu run an engine? I would try a known good Ecu before chasing ghosts. Usually it is the injector side that goes bad and the ignition is fine. I have run into several 1jz ecus with faulty fuel control.

    You want other people to pay for your car? WTF? You would be better off sitting on the corner with a cup and a sign.

    Heater problem NOT vsv issue.

    Your heater core could be clogged. If it is they are a treat to change out.

    L33 engine in a 92 supra

    Newgen thanks for the offer. I am still trying to track down the one I bought and if push comes to shove I have one of unknown origin sitting on a shelf. The good news is I figured out my battery drain. It turns out the drivers door switch was showing open when the door was shut causing the...

    Sad to see another hard top bite the dust. Glad to see it didnt deter you from being a mk3 owner. It isn't a car for the faint of heart.

    L33 engine in a 92 supra

    I am glad to hear the motor mounts worked. Hopefully you get her up and running soon. I have been driving the crap out of my car. Any time the weather has popped above freezing I have been out and about. I had some running issues where the car started stuttering and hitching. It had me real...

    Which V8 for the MKIII?

    All the info is right here: http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?169656-L33-engine-in-a-92-supra It is an L33 engine. 5.3L, aluminum block, 799 heads, 02+ Z06 cam, LS6 intake, 28.8lb injectors, all F-body accesories. I would say the swap was the same difficulty as doing a 1uz...

    Which V8 for the MKIII?

    All in bolted up to the R154 I am under $5k and it took me about a year of slow progress. I should be about 350 rwhp. Hopefully I can throw down some official results in the next month or so. If you are looking for top end power this is not the way to go. If you want good road manners with...

    Which V8 for the MKIII?

    The UR is expensive and huge. Not to mention that you would probably have to go stand alone as it has a fairly complex engine control system. The UZ's are cheap but a dog with no aftermarket support. I have never understood standing by a single manufacturer. Usually it is done for ease of...
