I just installed a new turbo on my 90' supra. After the install its idling kinda high 1100rpm. I wanted to set base timing and clear any codes. The engine light is on. But when I put my jumper wire in I get nothing, no codes and engine light is still on. I dont know if its in diagnostic mode so...

I am reinstalling my turbo today. I have a softline kit arz/driftmotion. Do the fittings need any thread sealant or anything on them, or just screw them on? Not familiar with them no instructions in the kit or on the website.

Ok, just put a new ct 26 on my 90'. First time I've done a turbo removal/install. (yes I did all of the priming) After idling for 5min checking for leaks I found it leaking oil out of the oil pipe where it comes off the turbo. It had a new gasket on it. It was torqued per tsrm. Should I still...

Are the shifter bushings different between the r154 and w58. I replaced my crusty bushing in my 88 n/a with the green one and it made it shift really nice. On my 90 gte the r154 just had the thin black flat one in there. I stuck a green one in it and it was way too tight and didnt feel right.

I recently bought a nice 90 turbo supra. The kid I bought it from didnt know much about it except the turbo went bad on him after a couple weeks and the turbo was bypassed. He wasnt a supra guy. I removed the turbo and the only thing I found that was done was the oil pipe was removed and a...

If I go look at a mk3 that has a bad turbo, but runs, any thing specific I should check. I am a n/a owner but dont know much about t's. quick signs of a BHG?

Im putting illuminas on my 88 with tanabe springs. front went no problem. the back stockers came off no problem but the new illuminas seem to be a half inch or so longer. Is this normal, I only noticed because I did not have to remove anything but the wheel to get the old off. the rear wont drop...

Can someone post a pic of their battery hold down set up for a mkIII. Or what it looked like from the factory.

Whats the smallest vehicle youve used to tow a supra. Last time I was able to borrow a truck. This time I may have to use my cherokee, which has the power but suprisingly weighs almost 500lbs less than a mkIII. might need to tow one 140mi. no problem?

My speedo is abuot 8-9mph off reading too fast through entire range. 88 n/a is auto to manual swap by prev owner. 4.30 lsd W58. Could the W58 have come from a car with a different speedo gear than the supra, or one with a different GR in the rear. I have a new stock speedo gear ready to put...

So my 88 n/a is a auto to manual swap by a previous owner. I switched the instrument cluster out to one that was from a manual trans. Took me a while to find a good one, found a great one installed it everything works. But LOL the cluster I put in is not from a TEMS car. I was trying so hard to...

My 88 n/a doesnt seem to have enough juice to engage the starter. I can jump start it with my jeep. I had the guy at the auto parts store run some test on the car while sitting in the parking lot. It said everything bat, alt, start was ok. IMO the alternator may not be charging enough. Or the...

My 88 7mge oil pan gasket seeps and is in general bad shape. The engine runs excellent and only leaks oil around the pan. Considering the pain in the arse it appears to be to remove the oil pan, if I do it, what elso should I do while its off. Besides stopping an oil leak other benefits to...

pinging when the throttle is slightly opened under light acceleration around 2200rpm after engine is operating temp. Its coming from top end. This just started after I adjusted the tps to clear a code 51 that I inherited when I bought the car. After I cleard the code I set base timing. A couple...

the difference between a w58 and r154. The PO did an auto to manual swap and left a few things undone and I want to know what I have so I get the right stuff. Mostly the speed sensor on the top of the tranny. The plug is just hangin out with nothng around to plug into it. I have a feeling the...

hanging slightly off the edge of the cam pulleys and running that way. Not sure how long its been that way. Do they start to slide forward when they get worn (loose)? tensioner problem?

First, big thanks to JSeamans and his guide. It is excellent and I would not have atempted with out his great article as I am new to the 7M. I did manage to do it by myself though and it was so succesful I thought I should share. This may have been covered before but couldnt find anything...

What kind of clicking should you here from the ISC after you shut the engine off? Is it very distinct, multiple clicks, or just one click? I am trying to diagnose an iratic high idle ( 1000-1200rpm) after the engine is warmed up. The TSRM says to check the ISC, I here no click whatsoever. I...

Ok...just checked valve clearances on my 88 n/a tonight. They were almost all out quite a bit. The car runs very well, but the top end was noisy and ticking quite a bit. All but a couple on the intake side had at least .5mm too much clearance. Almost all the exhaust were at least .5 too...

The next week or so I'm going to have valve/cam covers off to check clearance/adjust to hopefully get rid of some ticking and noisy top end. Anything else I should do while I have that stuff off based on your experiences? 88 n/a 200k new HG about 20-30k ago.
