    Oil Catch Can / PCV question

    I don't quite get that last setup as the goal is to reburn the vapors in the engine thereby eleminating the hydrocarbons, but by just sending the fumes into the exhaust... I guess some will burn due to the heat, but I think that would just be sending blowby gases out the pipe and into the air...

    burping coolant

    First, let me tell you that there is a search button that may have helped you as this is a topic that surfaces quite often. To burb the system on a MkIII, you need to do the following: Raise the front of the car either by parking it on a hill or jacking the front until the muffler tips are...

    I'll be the first. :ttiwwp: A guess would be the relay for the A/C fans.

    Semi circle of metal

    Your question is not very clear, but I am guessing it is an issue some owners have. The timing belt pulley which is behind the crank dampner/cover has a lip on both sides and the front one sometimes breaks off. This causes the belt to move off the pulley. You need to tack the ring back onto the...

    2007 Montreal Supra Meet Pix - 56K go to a friends House

    It's a shame that not many north-eastern USA Supras make the Montreal trip. In just 3 years, this event has grown to over 50 attendies for the Show&Shine and this year, with the invites to the Rx7 and RHD clubs, there was some good traffic on the drag strip. So... All you neighbours to the...

    Leak under car

    A crack in the small rubber elbow coolant hose at the back of the motor / head which is a common issue if not changed recently. The hose goes dry from all the heat and eventually busts. A PITA to get at if you've got a turbo. Yellow /green definitely sounds like coolant. Can the heater core...

    is this a BHG?

    Though the Toyota stock gasket is good (IMO of course), the main problem is with the head bolts (easy stretch) and the torque settings (way to low). ARP bolts or studs should replace the original Toyota bolts. If your mechanic (or you) rebuilt the engine but used all the original stock settings...

    1992 Turbo

    Stock 7m with original torque settings = blown head gasket for sure... There is not one owner that I know who has not had to redo the head at one point from the stock settings. If you do end up changing the gasket, change the bolts to the ARP product or even better, go for the ARP stud kit. You...

    Mk3 Shaved Moldings; New to Supras

    If that is rust I see over the rear wheel, you may want to strip the rear hatch and check for rust on the inside wheel well (under the tar pitch) as this is a common issue with Supras... you may just find that there is a big hole hiding under the panel and pitch in the well. I'm sure you'd hate...

    what's this thing?

    Same here, been running an aftermarket pressure and temp unit from the original sender location using the aftermarket wire harness and have had no problems... The old rubber cap connection is still there tucked up out of the way doing absolutely nothing....

    what's this thing?

    Your favorite motor oil and why.

    Great thread...:thumbup: While strolling around in Walmart (here it is north of Montreal, Quebec, Canada), I came across the GC on the shelf. It was something like $8.50CND so there may be another source for the 0W30 GC.:icon_bigg Edit by Jdub: Confirmation for you Canadian...

    Quick Q: How to remove stock oil filter?

    I use something like this, it is a cap that fits over the end of the filter and has a 3/8 hole for an extension so you can turn the thing with a ratchet. There are different sizes for different filters so make sure you get the one for a Toyota filter. You can get to the filter from under the car...

    Fuel Pressure Priming

    You are right, Dirgle, the TSRM says 5 minutes of pressure after shutoff... Don't know where I got my number from... going to check the shop manual I have as it may be missing an update. Curious, would the "J" tube have any effect on the shut off pressure with the restricted end? Has someone...
