    cracked turbo -> no boost?

    Three out of three turbos I have seen have cracks. Also from talking to a turbo rebuilder, I was told that most of the CT-26's that are sent in for upgrades are also cracked. I always thought it was very normal for the CT-26's. Cracks appear around the wastegate & and in the exhaust...

    Anyone technical living close to Delaware? PA, NY, GA?

    No big deal at all, and no reason to be sorry. Since I am here though, and if you would like some tips: If I were you, I would state what you need to be done to your car. I think you would get better responses. Like for me, I know some things; other things not too well. Also, I...

    In loving memory of Mike Urbano - stickers

    Turbo. Targa. Life., don't feel bad, none of us want that. To an extent, it is on a somewhat public fourm where some folks would wonder. I would LOVE to see those. Any true Supra fan should also save the page from the link I provided and its pics, I know I did and will keep it in my...

    Anyone technical living close to Delaware? PA, NY, GA?

    I am wondering what kind of question you are asking. Some of those states are not so close to each other at all. GA (Georgia) is like 900 miles away from (NY) New York State -- quite a haul, and just about the average height of America...

    wow

    Not before now. WOW! I think it is awesome to be in great shape: lean, strong, flexible, high endurance, well balanced...all that good stuff. He has the body/characteristics of a gymnast. To me, gymnastics is one of the all time greatest sports -- which is what he was doing more than...

    Loki's new car! 56K will be sorry...

    I can't help but wonder how far you are from GrimJack. I know that Grim is near the coast. Jeff is like in the middle of Canada, right? And I thought you were real close to Jeff. So how far was it from where you live? The color blue seems to be more common than I thought: yours, Grim's...

    Funny 'quote'.

    heheh Lanky, I am very flattered! I was wrong though, although I did provide some basis. I am just someone who had to take couple of courses in literature. Also I am good at analyzing my own dreams, which is the way I analyzed the quote Grim mentioned. All my dreams make much sense to me...

    Stupid Ebay

    I doubt anyone would. If someone does bid on it, I would bet that their eBay rating would be 0 or less -- cause they wont pay for it. Let's keep an eye on it after the close, and after weeks to see if feedback was traded (a sign that the deal went through). But I bet it won't move.

    On my way to do MHG

    Well looking forward to hearing more news then, Justin, cause that is big job deal. Before: I once had to fix my exhaust manifold leak on my 7M-GTE, and I banged some knuckles and got pissed, then it was put together and drove it for a little bit. Later: Later I removed the whole engine...

    Wow, Rajunz lives! Good to see YOU back on...:P Of coarse Bishop lives, look at his post count, it is about as much as mine (and I am here every day at least three times). SM is his home, it has been no secret to us SM'ers. Bishop, I don't know you too well because I came on to the forums...

    question for pplz who mic their own cranks and cam journal

    Well with that set you would use the 0"-1" for valve shims 1"-2" for cams 2"-3" for the crank 3"-4" for the pistons So as you can see, a 0"-4" set works out great for our Supras.

    Funny 'quote'.

    The way I analyzed -- I did think about it briefly -- is as follows: Scout was asking Yoda how he was aware of a piece of information. Being that Yoda is supposedly super smart and all knowing, he states who he is and his credentials, then sarcastically asks Scout if it is by random...

    question for pplz who mic their own cranks and cam journal

    This is how one of my mic' sets looks like: You will figure out quickly how to properly use them if you have sense, and I bet you have enough. For Out of Round & Journal Wear: Since I am not a pro machinist, I measure twice to make sure I get a good reading. (If consistent, I record; if...

    octane question

    A have a weak memory of hearing that you can ping without knowing it. So can you always tell if you are pinging? Will you always hear it? My questions are aren't if you have the radio on. I mean if you are in a quiet setting (with roof, no radio), will you still always be able to hear all...

    new pics of the poopra

    Yep, very clean looking car. I bet it was ALWAYS taken car of. Seems many in Cali are big JZ fans and going/gone that route. My MK2 was maybe more silver-like than your car. Somehow different colors appeal do different cars in different ways. P.S. But there is a big distraction in the...

    My new (to me) 88T

    Wow, that is how my car used to look like when I first bought it like 5 or 6 years ago. Only difference is that mine is a 5spd though. It took me me over four trips, each consisting of 200+ round-trip miles to find it from the ads I looked at. I only wanted a Supra MK3 at the time when...
