First of all thanks to everyone so far that has been so helpful so far in my top end rebuild especially IJ, Shaeff, and Dylan Wiggins (sorry I forgot your forum name) A 3 inch BIC divorced downpipe was on my supra when I bought it. I had contemplated cutting out the recirculation on several...

Oh ok cool. Thanks for clarifying that. As well, thanks for your insight on that

what do you mean the cps comes back?

That's the problem, my only mistake so far seems to be that I didn't mark the inside of the center cover. It should just sit according to the reference mark from the factory on there right?

Hey levirolla, were you at the stoplight at the intersection of friendly ave and dolly madison road in the Boro tonight at like 1 AM? I thought I heard a BOV and I turned my head and believe I saw a Red Supra revving it up It was dark and I was in my black yj wrangler. Just wondering. If so I'll...

Ok guys. I haven't found anything that directly references this and I've at the same time been following the TSRM, Dylan Wiggins HG Guide, and Haynes Manual (whichever was closest to me at the time) while disassembling my top end for a HG job. Before I began I set the #1 Piston at TDC 0 Degrees...

Extremely Helpful Shaeff. Thanks so much!

Thats exactly what I thought. In my head I was like how do you not want to at least smile at the guy with the turbo targa in the same color as your sunroof na?

The black guy was parked at my apt complex clubhouse the other day. Dont know why. I probably would have investigated had I not been in a hurry. I tried to get the girl's attention one day when i was beside her on spring garden but for some reason she was only driving like 10 mph in a 35...

Sorry fellow NC Supraists I didn't mean to jack this thread all up. I know the main issue here is us getting together as much as possible. When my top end rebuild is done I'm really looking forward to meeting up with you all. BTW just wondering if the black dude in the white supra in Greensboro...

Yea sorry I didn't clarify. I'm definitely getting the head resurfaced, hot tanked, re-grinding the valves in the seats, replacing the valve stem seals, new springs. I plan to do the full mhg in the future probably like a year or two but I live in an apt, prefer to do my own work, and am not...

Ok I am doing my first BHG job my car is mostly stock aside from a shimmed wastegate a 3 inch downpipe and such. Don't have the resources or money to do a full metal prep that'll be a couple years down the line. I'm looking for an affordable head gasket set that someone on here has had good luck...

Tried Craig'slist the problem with that is that I don't think many people would think someone would want seemingly useless tires and therefore not post them. I just figured I'd check and see. I see a few supra's in Greensboro and the surrounding areas from time to time. Figured someone had a...

Yea I get that. I'm a regular on this forum as of the last 6 months. I don't wanna pay shipping and on some old shitty tires, who would. I want to find some local that I can pay like 20-50 bucks for and pick up. I'm not gonna break the bank to go screw around.

Hey guys. Does anyone have an old kinda shitty set of tires within 40 miles of Greensboro. I'll only need two and I won't need them till I finish my top end rebuild, However i want to celebrate by roasting down some old tires and sparing my r compounds which dont burn very well anyway. P.S. With...

Not that I'm trying to challenge you guys expertise I've learned alot from both of you (Supracentral and IJ) but if his electronics are still in spec on an ohmmeter and he doesn't sever any connections it seems as though a well placed dab of quick set epoxy would suffice. I mean the breaking psi...

congratulations on the fix and getting some boost buddy. If it mainly happens when you are stopped (the smoking) it may not be your turbo it may be your valve stem seals in the head, which under the right circumstances can be done with the head on the car. Fixing that is much faster, cheaper...

Awesome that's what I could never pinpoint. Thanks IJ, I had hoped that you would respond to that.

Ok, after seeing dirty cum looking substance under my oil cap and water out the exhaust after replacing blown radiator I'm gearing up for my first HG replacement job. I have been doing research for the last few weeks trying to learn all I can from others trials and tribulations one thing I'm not...

You are brewing a true mystery here man ---------- Post added at 05:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:50 AM ---------- Ok. I read back through all the posts and had an idea. Are you using any kind of boost controller. and if not check the tube running from your wastegate actuator to the...
