well i went back out and fought with it some more and it finally started. held idle like a dream and boosted strong to 12 or so psi. i got some dirty looks from old ladies and some open mouths as a pulled by with the open downpipe. hopefully it will start again here now that im letting it sit...

nailing down a favorite is hard, i think nachos and salsa would have to be up there. but french fries and mayo is awesome. i usually get some on the rare ocasion i go to a fast food joint.

alright im at my wits end here, maby some of you can help. i just finished dropping my car off jack stands for the first time in about 2 weeks. it was down for a boost leak hunt and guage install. once all was said and done i had found my boost leak (plastic elbow coming from IC was split in 2...

good idea. looks like new now. i can see the little wooden stool you must have been sitting on in the reflection on your super clean bumper. it sure dosent look like it would be comfy to sit on for two hours. :crazy1:

looks like you may be on to something. this sounds like a better option than spending a big wad of money on something like a C's shifter like i did. keep us posted on how this turns out

oh gawd damn! :aigo: maby you should consider making kits with the materials/instructions needed to get one of these set up in our cars... :naughty: i have to give you some major credit for making this all work in the car.

that sounds like it has some good potential. could you provide more info on the custom/fab work required in grafting a ct26 wastegate to one of these. who knows, with a little R&D this may be a good upgrade over an upgraded ct26. also how did you get it to bolt to the manifold? or did you have a...

same here. except i was hitting fuel cut because of a boost leak. it scared the shit out of me when it first happened. maby just outright replace the line and clamps going to the WG.

does your check engine light come on when the car is shaking violently? if so its probably fuel cut. if thats what it is i would maby check the vac line running to your waste gate for leaks or just out right replace it with some new stuff from an auto parts store. im not sure what else it could...

buy a tap and die set (or just the right size die) and thread it with that. im not sure of what size die you would need though. im sure some members on here would know the size.

no problem on the delay, i barely ever check this section as well. thanks for the link im going to have to sign up on the site. ill have to talk to another buddy of mine and see if i can get him signin up as well. good job on organizing some alberta supras. :drink1:

glad you are finally gettin your problems sorted out brett. it makes me jelous that you are out driving that and getting compliments while mine is sitting in the garage with a bunch of motor and front end parts pulled off. have fun with her man! :icon_cool

i can hardly believe this... i was just pm'ing him back and forth a day or two ago about buying an exhaust from him. i wish i could have met him in person as i'm sure many of us do. my heart goes out to his family. i dont really know what to say, im still in shock i think. RIP Mike.

nice how many of these little mk3 models do you have now? that 1jz model was pretty nice. now assemble and paint it and take some pics! :icon_mrgr

i love that car... :yum:

i just started listening to them recently. i think its great for driving out to the mine when im late for work and miss the bus. im not sure what it is i like about them but i do enjoy their music... what little i can hear over open downpipe... oh, btw your quote is messed up :biglaugh:

you guys have some pretty good taste in music. i'm still stuck in the 80's.... my picks: manowar, gammaray, blind guardian, judas preist, brainstorm, night wish, dokken, iced earth, yngwie malmsteen, hammerfall, helloween, dionysus, narnia, angra, 3 inches of blood, luca turilli, etc...

glad you finally got her home brett. have fun with it and take care of it!

if you are thinking about the one pipe/muffler exiting on opposite sides of the rear bumper, i think its a little more trouble than its worth. you would have to route it around the gas tank. i have seen it done on a european supra before and lamarossa had something akin to a dual exhaust on his...

congrats on the new car brett! i hope this one lives up to your expectations. just get the rust taken care of. i still say you should have sold me your hard top N/A as a shell to me for 2000. :hsugh:
