does it sound like a boost leak, or air leak somewhere, or maybe a bad spark plug? Cause i just got done doing a HG and someone said your plugs usually get fried as well. Also i put on a monza bov and it makes my turbo REALLY loud, so it might be leaking from there i think? any ideas?

Just wondering what fuel cut is like. once im fully boosted, my car feels almost like it is missing slightly every 1/2 to 1 second, its so slight its almost not even noticeable. I dont think it could be fuel cut tho, because i only have a intake, and shimmed wastegate, 4 washers. My car also...

Im sure they arent, but are the tranny's the same on the turbo as N/A? Auto and manual?

no the idles fine, and actually i was leaning towards it being a torque converter, so that makes me think

(Auto Tranny) at just above idle, in first gear only, when i take off the car vibrates a little then stops at like 2500 and doesnt do it at all, through any other gears...until i stop and take off in first again. The transmission shifts smooth and strong through all gears, with zero slippage...

thanks for the reply, i gave all the parts to my buddy, who is an airplane mechanic and supra enthusiats, before i started reading about the ARP's. its almost done now, so i dont have time to buy the bolts, i was just wondering if it will work.

My car is getting a HKS metal head gasket, 1.2 mm bead type, but im not using ARP studs/bolts, just the original ones, is that ok? Everyone on here uses arp studs when installing the HG. If I torque it correctly will it last pretty long?

im still only boostin close to 8 lbs? Could be the gauge i guess, or the fact that i am stock otherwise.

I am about to shiim my wastegate and have a question. How many washers are on the wastegate stock? one? cause mine has four on each side. So does that mean someone already did it? and if so i can only add 2 more? (1 stock, 3 added, and 2 more for five total added to stock?) just wondering cuz im...

I just bought a new FPR for my supra, and haven't installed it yet. I just went to a website to browse parts, and it says that i need a blockoff plate in addition to the FPR? Says it redirects fuel to the tank? Anyone know anything about this and if i need it? If i dont need it, what advantadges...

I will have pics soon, btw i blew the head gasket on friday. HKS metal head gasket, new valve seals, cam seals and valve cover gasket going in this week.

hey i got another question, can i run 10-12 lbs of boost on the stock fuel system? i plan on getting an FCD but dont have the money for a new fuel pump/injectors. Is the easiest way to boost higher to shim the wastegate or add a boost controller?

Just wondering if anyone know this. Probably not, or at least not exactly. Anyways, how much horsepower do you gain with a ct26, for each extra pound of boost you run? i was thinking maybe 5-7 hp per lb of boost but thats just a guess. Any ideas? It would help if someone dynoed with 8 lbs and...

P.S. 1989 Supra Turbo Targa - HKS intake AND bov - 120,000 MILES

And thanks for the welcome. Im new to the 7mgte, but i rode in a mkiii that put down a 12.6 sec. quarter with 440hp and fell in love, that plus the roadhugging ability and looks of a supra make it a truly amazing car. And to think i got the car for $2700!!! almost seems like a steal lol.

There is almost zero shaft play, and it boosts to 8 fine, but it blows a little smoke on spool up, and there was oil in the plastic intercooler pipe that i took off to put on my HKS BOV, so it is leaking. Not a big deal, but my supra is extremely clean and i dont want it to blow smoke at...

so with a carbon seal and journal bearings, i could safely run 11-12psi without blowing out the internals? I dont really have money to send it out and have it upgraded.

Anyone know how much boost is safe for a stock rebuilt ct26? My car is down with a bhg and im putting an hks HG in it, so when i get it put together i will boost more than stock because of the head gasket change, say around 12psi. Ive heard people say that any more than 8psi and dont expect your...
