Not to thread jack, but I had a similar but different question. Are GE pistons hypertectic? And are GTE pistons forged?

Hes going turbo though.. lol I agree though, unless his engine is gonna be packing 400 + he should just go with 2.5

Well a few weeks ago when I bought it, I dropped it into 2nd immediately and floored it, and no movement, so I was pretty sure the clutch was still good. I'll go try it again in a bit, but I consider myself pretty good with a manual, so I doubt I fried that baby in a few weeks, but then again...

I was reading through cygnus, and code 21 is o2 sensor, so maybe he should check for that? I'm not trying to be an ass, just helpful lol http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/TechTips/engine_error_codes.aspx

Ah, well the POS volks was all i used it for, and it helped me in the short run b4 that car got scrapped, lol

If you get a universal one, they arnt too bad. If hes running rich, Id say check for codes, although i'm not sure if these supras will throw a lean bank sensor code like all obd II's, but id imagine since its a sensor, itd throw a code? and Id just replace it

I'm not completely sure if you were being sarcastic, but my old volkswagen was a POS, and had a head tick, and the lucas cured the ticket and slowed the oil consumption. did the trick 4 me :icon_conf

Why no lucas? It helped me, but my tranny was screwed beyond much help, so i couldnt really assess how well it did. And working at a parts store (that actually cared about customers, not sales), it was always recommended. I know the lucas oil additive is amazing, cuz it helped a bunch in my old...

Or just go get a new one? lol. I think id rather pick one up and know for a fact that its good then do a bunch of tests on it.

So I just went to drive it up the road a mile just because, and usually at night is when i hear the waterfall the most. Well, I didnt hear it at all, and I havnt lately. Also my cap wasnt milky on the bottom earlier. Tomorrow i'll be gettin about 30 bucks and im going to get a thermostat and an...

ahh, good idea, will do tomorrow

I just tried to stick my finger in their to feel, dont have a flashlight that I can find so I cant see in thier lol. My bronco is nice, just a gas hog :-/ . Im trying to sell it, but i have a possible sponsor, so maybe i'll drive it till that comes through. The whole point is me selling the...

I didnt realize thier was a float in the overflow? maybe it is stuck, it did look kind of dirty in their :-\ And I can drive my bronco, my whole deal is me trying to sell it to rebuild my supra, but thats hard to do when ur not sure if your Supra is DDable ya know? I'm gonna go check that...

Please tell me your kidding? Because mine has done that twice now, but the temp flew up so fast that I couldnt get off the road to shut it off until like 2 minutes later :1zhelp:

I do realize that, and if I wasn't going to fully rebuild it, Id have it torn apart in my friends garage right now :biglaugh: I plan on rebuilding it with a stock turbo rebuild kit, and converting it. And the only spot I noticed that was on the underside of the oil cap. The dipstick oil...

I do believe that you've just helped me out the wazoo. I have reason to believe that my car was completely empty of antifreeze after that hose. The car started to overheat right as I got to a friends, yet the radiator was stone cold. I added a tiny bit of 50/50 and steam shot out the cap, and...

I have another question, how is it that I ran out of antifreeze within 2 days, yet I see no leaks at all? Also, my coolant overflow was empty, so i filled it up, and the birdcage light is still on? wtf?

Yea no problem, I'm gonna have him tell me everything in it, because If the company that makes the kit will give me a guarentee of the 412 hp or my money back, then i guess i'm doing it :naughty: Im pretty set on a turbo kit rebuild and going turbo, but hey, if 412hp n/a is possible...

Haha, he was talking about ALL motor

Oh god, you wont want to see any pics of my engine lol
