I am all about 89+. I think the front facade looks much cleaner and more aggressive. The interior is more updated. The tail lights flow with the rear. The spoiler is clean and more aerodynamic looking. That said, Pre 89 isn't bad looking, especially when presented well. I think where it...

look at this one - claims 700rwhp

I always got around 18mpg on 92 oct here in SoCal (now it's 91 oct). One time I got 20.5 mpg on a trip to Vegas but that was at about 85mph the whole way with several bursts of turbo. 25, 28, 30+!! mpg??? never saw anything like that, even driving like a granny for almost a whole tank...

I'm not bringing up an "issue". I am solicting both pros/cons and personal preferences based on facts and experience with the differences between the engines. I worded my question in such a way that directly asks people 'why' they believe one is better than the other. Because most people who are...

Back in the late 90s, it seemed to be that anyone that had done a 1JZ swap was the talk of the MKIII world. Mike Urbano comes to mind with his slick blue Supra. I remember looking into the engine bay in Vegas. People were envious. But now I'm re-entering the Supra world again and it seems that...

Just found out that the original owner had the head bolts retorqued at 46,000 miles. It has 68,000 miles now and he says it's never had a problem so far. So it sounds like the bolts are holding pretty well.

Suppose I had access to a shop that would put in a HG for me for $600 total. What I'm really wondering is would it be an intelligent thing to do in advance of HG failure? I know this is a kinda a subjective question and a bit of a 'what if' scenario. I'm just curious if anyone thinks it's a...

The only thing I would do is let the engine breathe, meaning copy the setup I had on my previous 91T. Downpipe Test Pipe Exhaust Intake BOV No boost controller or anything. So I suppose I can just run it stock and see how it handles the slight bump in power from the open air flow. Thanks for...

I don't have anything technical to add but I will say that the setup I used on my previous 91T was stellar. I basically copied Chris Jensen's setup, minus the additional interior bars. Eibach Pro-Kit Springs Tokico TEMS shocks Suspension Techniques Anti-Sway bars (Front & Rear) 17x8 Focal Rims...

I don't want to be 'that new guy' that asks a bunch of annoying questions because he's too lazy to read the threads where the question has been addressed 33 times already. So I read through all the sticky threads int eh oil section and the first 2 pages of other oil threads and still wonder one...

Hi Nick. Thanks for the reply. So if I understand you correctly, you are saying... go with option B? Replace it with a metal HG and have it torqued to the tighter specs than the original numbers?

Hi, I searched and read through several head gasket threads, but did not find an answer to this question specifically. I don't have my 91 Supra Turbo yet (haven't picked it up yet) but it has 68,000 original miles and I believe it still has the original head gasket. Which of these do you...

Thanks RazoE. I'm in San Diego. Maybe I'll look into some local meetups in SoCal.

Interesting how the Supra brings people back eh? Hey I just checked out your build thread. Insane bro. What a project. Nice job. You feel like you'll ever be "done"?

Big Plans. Never gonna sell this one if I can help it. Will probably start off pretty slow though. I have other priorities right now and this wasn't one of them. Just couldn't pass it up. I'd say within maybe 2-3 years, I will build it out on a sort of 'no limit budget'. But will retain the...

Yah he still has the window sticker, which he is giving to me now of course. The asking price was a bit high, but the real value of a Supra like this one is only truly known when one declares what they are willing to pay for it, and I am willing to pay well above the silly blue book value when I...

I'd wager a fair sum that a stock engine bay photo would not qualify as "Elite". Do you have a White 91T?

A once in a lifetime opportunity. Just nabbed a PERFECT Supra! Let the jealousy ensue! 1991 Supra Turbo - 5spd - 68,000 original miles White on Navy Blue cloth. White wheels! Original owner has maintained it like a dream all these years. Here's the thing. This is very very special for...
