Nothing wrong with helping narrow it down, hence the "or". I never said it exactly went to the ground or to the alternator.
Geez, people these days have sticks up their asses.
The MKIII Supra isn't the best platform to build on drag-wise. (Just build a funny car if you want a dragster) Let's just face it, it's a fat heavy car with pop up headlights; it is never going to be the fastest car on the streets. But one thing is for sure, it's a god damn good touring car...
If it sounds like crickets, it's probably just your clutch disc. My feramic/organic disc with a 250% pressure plate on my MR2 makes a nice noise too; and I'm told it's normal.
BTW, I can't hear the noise in your vid.
Not my car, but they owner sold it on ebay like a few years ago and I believe he was also a member here. Personally I love the design, but again it doesn't please everyone.
Here's a before:
And after (photo-chopping, pre89 + emblem delete); I think it looks like it eats little birds/kids...
I had an aluminum 1 pcs driveshaft. Was great under 80mph, but anything above that and the whole car felt like it was going to rattle itself to pieces. Not worth it in my opinion.
You could technically hack off the ct26 flange off the downpipe and weld on a v-band.... but that will only work if the T4 turbo is in the same position as the ct26. In my case it was not in the same position so I had to build a downpipe.
The spring in the stock FPR is ~32-40 psi new. The worn out spring in my stock FPR allowed fuel to return to the tank at ~30 psi.
The FPR is basically just a little pop valve; when the fuel pressure rises to 30 psi, that's enough pressure to push the spring up, thus opening the valve and...
It does control fuel pressure, but the lower limit is controlled by the stock fpr fuel pressure. Stock fpr opens at 30 psi, but the ebay afpr opens at 43 psi thus fuel pressure is increased.
Pretty simple to understand if you ask me. :biglaugh:
I know my Supra needs work, but just haven't...
Here is a video of it. You can't see it in the video, but the afpr is sitting at a 43 psi; that's 13 psi above the original 30 psi. The sound quality is bad, but it's expected since I used my digicam to make the vid.

Because people said if it didn't leak, the adjustment screw wouldn't work; and if it did work, it would fail almost immediately.
So far those people are wrong because it did leak and it has been working just fine. :naughty:
We'll see how it holds in the next two weeks.
Just in case anyone is curious, I am still running the stock FPR. This ebay AFPR is running off the return line from the stock AFPR and I'm not a big fan of eBay stuff, but I am the adventurous type and would personally like to know if these last.
Aside from the under torqued allen bolts...
I originally bought a $30 AFPR off eBay for my MR2 Turbo as a band-aid, but since the MR2 has become my daily driver due to gas prices, I bought an aeromotive for it instead (didn't want to get stranded due to a bad AFPR); and this ebay AFPR ended up becoming my paper weight for the last 6...
