To be getting that sort of fuel consumption you must have some serious problems. How does the car drive?? Is it lumpy on low throttle positions?? Does it bog when you step on the gas?? Maybe start looking towards leaking fuel injectors. I had a bad o2 sensor when I got my car but it only...

New stock bolts torqued to 72lbs/ft, new head gasket and 18,000 miles without a hitch.

Thats because the power of your imagination is better than anything hollywood can come up with.

Number 1 rule of owning a supra, learn how to do everything yourself. If your paying someone else to do it 60 - 80% of the cost is labour.

The only thing I keep track of is fuel usage as its the major cost of running my car.

My stock gasket is holding up good, 13psi for 18 months now. If you think your timing is retarded I set mine when I put my car back together as per TSRM must have moved a tooth as I put the CPS back in, car was flat as a fart. Put the timing gun on it 10* after tdc:nono:

Thats about 5mpg, you could do that at a long race track if you were in boost all the time.

1000RWHP for the new year?? Mine will get a SARD FPR if its good.

Worst I see is about 18 - 20 mixed driving, but then again I only boost about 10 - 20% of the time.

So your saying it pushed water out the overflow while not running??

I was refering to the op feeding the throttle in and setting up your boost so it isn't all dumped in your lap at once helps. And if not just learn to control the car when the back starts to lose traction.

Why not just modulate the throttle with your foot when the rear tyres start to lose traction, works for me.

I have a home made 3" with a jetex 3" silencer the rest is straight through its a bit louder than stock but not to loud can still listen to music and have a conversation while I drive.

Why are you pulling it appart??

I never said the 7M was better than a J series engine, I said it was no less reliable than a J series engine when it is looked after properly. Plenty of dead J series engines out there. To be honest a head gasket not torqued to the right spec is a defect, but the engine as a whole is a stout...

Running odd sized wheels on the rear (if the rolling radious is significantly different) will screw up your LSD.
