    Cleaned 440s or new 550cc injectors?

    So I've resumed work on my Supra after having it torn apart and sitting untouched for almost 3 years and now I've arrived at my first real decision. Eventually I'm going to have to upgrade to 550cc injectors when I start upgrading but for now I just want the car running stock to get the engine...

    10psi with no mods?

    FWIW, back in the day (when I was young and poor) I added a K&N FIPK and an MBC to my otherwise stock Supra and set it to around 11psi and the "seat of the pants" gain was certainly noticable. When I gutted the cats that gain was pretty noticable too. But I was young and stupid and thought...

    Just curious who has these?

    The '87 Turbo shell I bought a few months back had those in the backseat, I thought they were just some aftermarket junk or something. They must've been pretty common if so many people have them.

    i think my friend is on hash.

    I've been debating whether to start a thread about this or not but here seems like a good enough place to ask my question. Everyone seems to swap from manual to auto, I have an '87 and an '88, one is auto and one is manual. I'm making one frankenstein out of the parts from both and that means...

    troubles taking the dash off

    I just took my dash out yesterday. At first I thought I was going to have to remove the covers around the steering column but then just wiggling and tilting the dash a bit got it out without removing them. I found that it was a lot easier to figure which way to wiggle it by looking from the...

    All this work for a targa? (My build and questions thread… and pics)

    The ones in the first pic of the blue Supe? It's been a long time but I think they were called Kosei Seneka 8's or somethin like that. I got them in a group buy thru SOGI 8 or 9 years ago...

    All this work for a targa? (My build and questions thread… and pics)

    Thanks for the well wishes! And thanks for the answers, I wish this site had been around years ago when all I had to go by was the sogi listserv... Thanks for the link to the gauges, those are exactly what I was looking for! I'd been thinking about dropping the entire subframes, I'll...

    All this work for a targa? (My build and questions thread… and pics)

    Time for a couple of questions; With the engine rebuild I’ll be getting the head/block checked and machined and installing a MHG, possibly bigger pistons if the cylinders need work and whatever else needs to be replaced. Besides gaskets and the usual replaceable parts what else should I...

    All this work for a targa? (My build and questions thread… and pics)

    Well here we go, Project Supra, as it’s become known to my family and friends, has begun. I’m all ready to go, manuals for an ’87 and an ’88, pretty redundant but hey, they were free to me: First step was removing the engine/tranny from the parts car, on the day I decided to do it I didn’t...

    All this work for a targa? (My build and questions thread… and pics)

    Well I guess it’s time for me to start my build thread because it won’t be long before I’m in need of major help and one thread to put all of my questions and planning in is probably the way to go. Plus, it’ll be fun to look back as the project progresses and see where I started from and where...

    Owns a TSRM

    I've got one for my '88 and one for my '87 plus the EWD for both... All for free tho and there's no poll choice for that. I got the hookups at the dealership, they use their internet connection to toyota now rather than those ol' books, hopefully no one ever goes looking for one tho :naughty:

    Help me decide: Zeitronix vs. Innovate/prosport

    Someone mentioned that the Zeitronix outputs a simulated narrowband signal so it can replace the stock o2 sensor, the Innovate does this too doesn't it? I'm in the middle of a rebuild/build-up and just starting researching my wideband options...

    The rebirth of a dream

    Well I'll make sure any questions I ask will be not only very MK3 specific but probably more along the lines of "where do you guys buy ____" For most of the technical stuff I have one of the top Toyota guys in the country on retainer (retainer might not be the right word, he's my dad so it's...

    The rebirth of a dream

    Hey, thanks for the replies! I never wanted to give up the Supra, I was just so frustrated with one repair after another and then wiping out in the snow and messin it up was the final straw. I'm thrilled to finally have the money to get a Supra goin again. The ram-air on my grandam just isn't...

    The rebirth of a dream

    Huh... I'm trying to decide if I should be offended that my intro thread is the only one on the front page with no replies... Oh well, I hope I get more replies when I start asking questions, the garage is cleaned out and ready for a double-supra-teardown, Should have at least one engine out...

    The rebirth of a dream

    Hey there Supramania - I just found this site a couple weeks ago - this place is great compared to what was on the web just 4 or 5 years ago! Well it's been 3 years since I shelved my Supra in exchange for a GrandAm. I'd just gotten tired of pouring money into the Supra and I'd had a little...
