    HID Help

    You will need to retrofit projectors. No housing is made that will properly house a HID bulb for the MK3 Supra. This place http://store.theretrofitsource.com/ Seems to sell good stuff but retrofitting the projectors into the supra headlight housings will still be on you, Unless i just never...

    E-brake shoes are the same as a Toyota Sienna 04-08?

    Unless the new shoes he ordered were for the vehicle(s) in question.

    3 Mishi Radiators in a year, all failed the same way; fan blade impact (anyone else?)

    Im running a mishimoto and have yet to have this issue. Im going to be checking it tomorrow though. Were you guys running shrouds when this happened?

    Within 3 HC Points from passing air care. what to do..

    If you advanced the timing a degree or two it would increase the burn time in the cylinder possibly resulting in a more complete burn possibly lowering HC without increasing NOX to a failing level. At least, it worked on an old Camry when i worked at Toyota.

    E-brake shoes are the same as a Toyota Sienna 04-08?

    I too have seen that and am curious about the compatibility. It only lists the supra on the EPC but the EPC may not be new enough to include that model year vehicles in it.

    EGT monitoring?

    You dont need to pull the motor, Only remove the turbo or manifold depending on what location you need to drill. Mounting the sensor after the turbo will result in much cooler temperature readings and how much colder is impossible to say. The best spot is as close to the exhaust valve as...

    FML, as they say

    How do you even hit a car in a parking lot that hard? Hope they catch the bastard. I hate scum.

    turbo heat shield or wraps

    Well the temperature of the pipe may not be the same temperature of the air flowing threw it. When your in the throttle the air will be moving so quickly threw the pipe i find it relatively doubtful the air will gain any heat from the hot pipe because of purely the lack of time it will have to...

    QUICK QUESTION: 89+ CLOCK should it read"H' "M" " "SET" or does it read "H" "m" 00:

    I believe my 89 has the :00 also. Guess theres no fluke here.

    Any way to make the oil level easier to read from the dipstick? Tricks?

    I took a 1/8th inch drill bit and drilled dimples into the face of the metal part. The dimples fill with oil when they contact oil. If it didnt contact oil, there will be no oil in the dimple.

    Chunks' Build

    Thanks! Thanks Crisp! I think the bushing walked because I was kinda hard on the car the day before practicing launching on a hot day over and over. I think the converter got overheated and when the metal expanded from the heat it caught the bushing and walked it out. Hopefully all will be...

    Finally sumped my tank

    Good to know, when i finally get my car tuned and the boost turned up im going to have to figure out what im going to do for pump(s).

    Best BOV ever?!

    I see what your getting at. Keeping the air moving threw the system so it flows right out and keeps everything moving. Admittedly I was only thinking of my car witch is automatic. When the throttle closes after boost it's usually followed by a period of 0% throttle while slowing down...

    Best BOV ever?!

    I think I get what your saying. That if the bov Is next to the throttle body when it closes the air will simply divert out of the blow off valve rather then turning back to the turbo. I understand that view but I don't think the air has that much mass. I don't thin it has the inertia to keep...

    Finally sumped my tank

    Using a reststor? Or full time full speed?

    Best BOV ever?!

    Well my point is the quicker you release the pressure at the outlet of the turbo the less flutter you will have. The same principal behind IJ cutting the spring to lower the pressure required to open the valve. If the coupler came off the compressor housing at 20psi there would be no flutter...
