    Holy Crap .... 4.30's are lots of fun!

    I'm currently looking for a similar mod. Can I ask, is it really worth it? By how much did your top speed drop? I have a 3.9 NA differential sitting in my garage, and i'm thinking of swapping it into my turbo supra but I don't know whether to look for a 4.3 or go with the 3.9 (or even stay 3.7)

    fuel gauge

    Another common problem is grounding. I had the problem when I just installed a new radio and forgot to ground it properly. As a result my fuel gauge worked on and off randomly.

    Low oil pressure or faulty gauge?

    Maybe your oilpump has gone bad. That would answer your question why your dip stick gives a good reading. I wouldn't drive the car anymore until I got it figured out. Just my 2 eurocents :D

    this was on my mind..

    In addition to his post, also when your turbo is not good anymore (cracks in the wastegate, or bad actuator) it also helps to shim it to compensate for the wear of the wastegate.

    need some answers

    Did you read your error codes yet? Check http://www.cygnusx1.net/supra/techtips.html on how to do that and figure out what the error codes mean. I bet your TPS is broken, as my supra did almost the same thing apart from the hard starting. But almost dying-coming back to life-then die when...

    Boost gauge out---Volt gauge in

    just shield off the boost signal connctors to the gauge (there are 2 and you don't need them anymore). (inside the gauge cluster ofcourse) run a little wire between a + and the + from the volt meter. you're done. When I also connected my - , my speedometer wasn't working anymore. I found out...

    Oil Temp gauge/EGT gauge

    Yes. My tuner told me it's better to put it there then to put in in an adapter plate for the oil filter.

    Stock HG

    From what I have heard the stock HG, mounted with arp's and torqued down right, can hold upto 400-450hp no problem.

    Oil Temp gauge/EGT gauge

    I have a hole drilled in my JBLMK3 turbo elbow. Would that also be sufficient to have a good EGT reading?

    Adjustable Fuel Pressure Regs

    I bought one of these. Haven't installed it yet because of my complete rebuild, and the engine isn't even been to the machineshop yet, but it looks good and is made out of stainless steel. Nice firm parts used and all parts included to hook it up. I myself have really good expectations about it.

    Bhg?

    BHG. Some of the signs are: - A lot of white smoke coming out of your exhaust. - White stuff in your 710 filler cap (looks like mayonaise). - Engine temperature getting very very high.

    *SM Access problem in Australia*

    I'm sorry, I figured you did change something to make it work. Thank you for your answer. :) It seems however that the server (the bard server) is rejecting traffic from some (specific) ranges, because I can get all the way to the server before I get a time-out. To me it looks like (when...

    Where can I buy a set of Semi-Solid Motor Mounts?

    I'm in thesame position as I pulled the engine to rebuild it and my motormounts were a wreck. So i'm looking for semi-solids also. Total solids can be found, but I heard that without the damping of the rubber the car is not much fun to drive when cruising.
