My name is Joe I made an account(Got7mgte) but it wont allow me to post yet so im using my buddy's .I just got my 88 supra turbo in oct. the car was running like crap the dude wasn't even driving it.I did an oil change(its an auto by the way) the car would accell in 1st then jump through 2nd to...

Yes sir, this is what we did. We replaced the timing belt and set the cams and crank together as per notches/marks but we're having technical difficulties (user error most likely) setting the timing. We'll get there someday. :biglaugh: I have a timing light with the adjuster knob, with the...

I've been looking through the forums here for several months now and recently my friend bought an 88 Turbo! It's neato! I like it! Seriously, I want one, but it's an automatic so I need to start searching on how to tune up the A340E. As far as the boost guage is concerned though it only gets up...

Hi guys, new to turbo principles so forgive me if this sounds dumb but, it is my understanding that the air does not change it's density through the intercooler. Is that correct?

Thanks guys, sorry I didn't respond faster, I went back and they had the wrong part number.

Did a search but couldn't find the answer very fast so, Got the wrong plugs from Autozone. They gave me, or were supposed to but didn't, what was listed in the computer. The part number is ngk b8es. There's no way they can be screwed into the holes. The part the socket fits onto...

NO, no, no... At the local yard, I broke a cam on that car when I was getting a spare set of shims. Which by the way, I ended up using 9 of them. The others I moved around like a puzzle. I think only 3 shims ended up staying in the same spot.

Checking out another turbo supra for $700, with a bgh but supposedly still is drivable. What would happen if I swapped in my 6m, (from my 85) and rebuilt the 7m? How would the Turbo ecu react to a missing turbo system for a bit? Hmm, was just thinking and, I'm not sure how I would be able to...

It took about 30 minutes to get the valve covers off. After that I got them out in like 5 minutes. I tested out unbolting the cam towers in any order and not evenly distributing the loosening. The result was a broken cam. Oh my gosh. Follow the tsrm for unbolting stuff or else!! I'm taking an...

Just got back from pick-a-part with a full used set of shims out of a 91 Cressida. Hope the measurements I need are in this set.

Thanks very much, I appreciate the offer. However, this engine needs to get put back together asap so there wont be time for shipping them out. I guess from now on I'll have to get shims out of engines at pick-a-part whenever I go as it seems you really need a collection to not have to buy new...

Very nice... Very nice! Question, How does the calculator know if I'm inputting mm or inches? Does it know automatically? Edit: (lol, guess I need to learn to read as the above post clearly says do it in inches. LOL) I've hear that used shims become cupped and using new shims can be a...

DOH! It's $1500 OBO, says recently rebuilt engine. But there's no telling. I want a DD plus occasional messing around. ;) Thanks for you help guys.

There's an ad for a turbo MKIII with 220k miles and a leaking transmission seal. What precautions should I know about. I'm new to turbos and would like to know stuff to check out for a 220k car. If this has been covered let me know, I'll search. Mainly I wanted to know about a leaky...

I got a head back that just had a valve job and it's not installed yet. If I swap pucks around, will the lash for the corresponding valves be proportionally changed? (The difference between the size of the two pucks added or subtracted from the lash that was already there? In your experience...

How do I get unlocked? Edit: I think I'm unlocked. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

Moderators, please unlock me to post in forums. My 87, the day I towed it home. My 85 is in the background of pics 2 and 3. :icon_surp

Hello, My name is Chris and I'm new to this forum but I'm not new to Supras. I'm a regular at www.celicasupra.com. I've had an 87 n/a for about 6 months now. I bought it with a BHG but I haven't fixed it yet. So far I've borrowed the exhaust and put it on my 85. It didn't fit perfect but...
