the Pump has a different pulley size on the GTE, but the racks are interchangeable, provided the car has the same power steering option - PPS or not. There are only minor differences in the racks between models, aside from PPS. It would be difficult to accidentally mix up the hoses, so...

The trick is that the automatic trans has backup light wires on two different harnesses, both largish and round. one red with black stripe, the other yellow. There are other wires with the same or similar colors in the engine harness, so with the auto trans out, you have to identify the...

I see it now. It IS smoking on heavy boost. i think my friend must have been smoking something when he followed me and watched the exhaust. It isn't noticeable on low boost, but with WOT accel there is a brief delay, then it smokes. Sorry everyone, I didn't know what to look for. I put fresh...

Sorry, busy day. The other posts were made before I hit 'send' on mine.

obvious question, I think you addressed in your last thread, but for the record: Have you checked whether your cold start injector is opening and closing appropriately? If it closes, how about disconnecting it and seeing if the rich condition resolves? I finally had to adjust the screw on my...

Thank you. I have the same tires, BTW, love them. If you don't try something new, you don't learn. How can anyone endorse drifting a supra at high speed on dry pavement and then criticize the next guy for driving his car with much lower speed and momentum in regular snow driving? I've...

Nice description, thanks for the clarification. Not pics needed, I've spun a bearing and seen the damage, and had a crank rebuilt. I just didn't know the lingo. BTW, I told you so about the machine shop! Sure they can do it in a day, once they decide to get around to it, but the problem is...

I think the supra is great in the snow if it's set up for snow. I have two AWD small SUV's and a large 4wd suv, and the supra handles better than all of them. I can get up hill better than anyone with FWD, and I can stop better than any suv. The AWD vehicles are better on acceleration, but that...

I have collected all the data maps I could identify from the ECU disassembly into a simple text file. Open with a non-proportional font, like courier. Some interesting points: Most one dimensional maps are variable length single-byte values, terminated with the bytes 0FFh, 00h, 00h. Some two...

I like my w58 with a cruddy ebay clutch. It's light and works fine, but the clutch sux. I'm probably at about 300-350 hp. If it blows, I'll upgrade, but I doubt the clutch has enough hold to blow the trans.

Harness wires for the reverse lights are yellow wire and red with black stripe wire. The trick is that they are on two different connectors in the automatic harness, and one much smaller connector on the M/T.

Yes, that's probably true. The white stuff out the tailpipe dissipates in a few seconds, as opposed to leaving a trail. I thought it was mostly water vapor. it is tuned to run a bit on the lean side. I think the PCV system malfunctioning is a reasonable theory after having a mechanic look at...

Yes thanks.

Yes, I know, but I've had two vehicles that had the same symptoms as the fuel pump fails. The mechanic I use when it's too cruddy out to work myself says he has seen many vehicles with this symptom as the pump fails. I recognize and greatly respect your expertise, but this is how I am thinking...

I don't know the answer to that. I think it is possible. All you have to do is check fuel pressure when it isn't starting. You should be able to pinch the return line and feel if there is return flow if it is totally not priming. When my pump started failing there was some flow, but barely any...

Did this with a friend behind me who has a lot of experience. Absolutely no smoke.

It could be the fuel pump. It often will function with more than half a tank, i think because it can prime itself better. Often it will keep running once started, even when fuel level drops to 1/4. Eventually it will probably fail completely, which may be the case with your car. Or the EFI...

How would oil from the cylinder fill up the spark plug galley? I would have thought it was a poorly sealed cam cover that got corrected when you were working on the plugs. I will check my cam cover, though. thanks.

Very interesting,thanks. I don't know what the nice milky look means. Or the "forgotten rivets" and whether that mattered that you took them off. I'm actually not sure if I messed up the head. I was very careful and triple checked before modifying the coolant flow. but it is what it is, I sure...

I looked at the processor program code for the non-turbo ecu and it does have a branch point for manual versus automatic transmission in a segment of code suspected to be for fuel calculation. So I would think the manual ECU is worth fussing with to get it working on your swap. The proper...
