    Ghetto wiring and missing pieces

    it looks like the black one is the coolant sensor for the ecu http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/TSRM/MK3/manual.aspx?S=FI&P=113 try browsing through the tsrm and you can find a bunch of info. I'm sure someone can chime in on the other sensors though.

    Toyota MR2 Carputer

    that is really cool, and very well done. it would take me some time to get used to all of the information on the screens, but it would be awesome once i did! I would definitely run a simpler version in my supra if it was available

    Hello All. Im Brian. I Own a 87 targa turbo pix added

    I would say that is a good amount done to it! getting the car to where it can hold the road better is smart before any hp mods anyways. I like the wheels, car looks good. how is the interior?

    I'm glad you brought that up, I have been trying to find out if you can use the above part with a pre '89 bumper for using 89+ turn signals. Anyone know if this works?

    Stereo Stays on When Car Completely Off

    Well the battery died overnight so I jumped it, and now the problem is gone. So disconnecting the battery (of sorts) worked for now can a worn out ignition switch cause a slow start? meaning the engine cranks over for 1-3 seconds before starting up most of the time.

    Stereo Stays on When Car Completely Off

    1) yes, the key has always been able to come out when the car is on, but that should just be because of the worn out key. 2) do you mean does the ignition turn with out the key in it? if so, no. the wheel locks in place.

    Stereo Stays on When Car Completely Off

    this problem just started today. when I turn the key all the way off and the tt counts down, the radio stays on. the clock also stays lit up. nothing else stays on, just my aftermarket head unit and clock. I tried removing the tt jumper harness but it still does the same thing without the...

    Tips on removing crank pulley bolt

    it also helps to read the original post. the engine is sitting on the floor, about to be put on a stand. if the engine was in the car, bumping the starter with a breaker bar on it is my favorite. to the OP: can you throw the engine in the back of a vehicle and take it to a shop that won't...

    Compression Test

    yea 150 is very encouraging, especially on a cold engine! it looks like 156 or higher is ideal on a warm engine, and 128 is the minimum. check out the TSRM: http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/TSRM/MK3/manual.aspx?S=EM&P=20

    Compression Test

    compression should build up after 3-4 revolutions, once the gauge on the needle stops jumping. also, the throttle should be held wide open and the EFI fuse pulled while performing the test. doing the test on a warm engine gives the most accurate results. a cold engine will give you lower...

    Need some input on picking up this supra

    LOL that's interesting... to the OP, if you are in for a project and the motor does have a fresh, quality rebuild, then I would think it was worth it. the limp mode issue is kind of worrisome.

    Would you guys say this block is good?

    not sure anyone will be able to tell you from the pics if this block is still good...it would probably be best to tear it down, and take it to a machine shop to inspect carefully. my .02
