    Anyone know the capacity of the stock radiator?

    Thanks for the replies. I just called a local radiator shop, and they confirmed that the radiator should hold about a gallon (give or take a bit). They quoted a price of $45 to pressure flush the radiator, and an additional $10 to $15 if they have to use acid in it. They even said that I...

    Anyone know the capacity of the stock radiator?

    I drained my radiator tonight, and only 1/2 gallon drained out of the radiator. Once I had it out of the car, I flushed the radiator with a hose; and I measured how much water came out, and once again I only got about 1/2 gallon out. 1/2 gallon seems like a small amount given the size of the...

    Castrol Syntec Oil Special HURRY!!!!

    Thanks, jdub, I'll have to ask them to see if they can order GC for me then. I know Pepboys carries GC, but unfortunately the nearest one to me is about three hours away. :( EDIT: I found the part number for GC for Autozone, in case anyone else finds that their local Autozone no longer stocks GC.

    Castrol Syntec Oil Special HURRY!!!!

    The Autozone in our town doesn't seem to carry GC anymore. :( They have a 0W 30 Castrol oil, but it doesn't have "European Formula" on the front of the bottle; and it also doesn't say "Made in Germany" anywhere on the back. It also doesn't meet certain manufacturer requirements like BMW's...

    Change your oil every six months..WHY?..Time vs. mileage

    Before spouting off how great OEM filters are, you may want to read this thread about oil filters. Toyota filters are just slightly better than a Fram filter, and are inferior to filters like PureOne and Wix. ;)

    What do these two connectors go too?

    ^^^ Keep it. You'll need it for your Supra someday. :)

    Oil in the Valley...How, Why????

    For me: 1. Cost - 4 washers cost less then $3. Much cheaper than a new gasket. 2. No issues with spark plug wires not making good contact with spark plugs. 3. Galley isn't covered, so if a valve cover starts leaking; I'll know about it! :D It's all personal preference, and I prefer to...

    What do these two connectors go too?

    The white plug connects to a body connector up in the dash by the area where the ECU sits. If you look around up there, you should see it. The yellow connector looks exactly like the connector I removed from my wiring harness when I did the GTE swap in my '86.5. Here's the other end of...

    Oil in the Valley...How, Why????

    I replaced mine with oil drain washers from NAPA. The NAPA part # is 704-1076. As stated earlier, you can remove the gasket completely; but the four bolts that hold the 3rd cover on do seal oil passages and need a gasket to seal back up after the 3rd cover has been removed. The three bolts...

    7m I/C pipes hurting my head

    Holy lack of room, batman! :aigo: That does complicate things quite a bit. How did the stock piping run through that mess? I'd try to replicate the route of the stock piping as much as possible, if there's room. Chances are, you're using a bigger pipe than stock so that may not be possible.

    7m I/C pipes hurting my head

    That may be true with some kits, but I've seen quite a few that leave the power steering reservoir in the stock GTE location such as these: It's all in how you route the pipes. :)

    Oil Advice from the autozone employee

    I'd prefer that you don't knock it off! :) I'd rather listen to one person who knows what he's talking about, and has sources to back it up; then to listen to ten people who pull stuff out of their butts. Keep preaching the truth, brother! :D

    7m I/C pipes hurting my head

    No comment, as I'm sure by now you realize the benefit of buying a quality kit made for our cars. Why not get a piece of straight pipe and run it UNDER those hoses, similar to how the stock pipe runs? Running your pipe THROUGH and over those lines makes no sense. That way looks better...

    Supra Turbo Vs Mustang GT?

    Not if you're running it stock. A healthy GTE puts out around 230 HP. If that engine is getting tired, then it's even less.

    4X4 supra!!! oh my god what the!!! PICS!!

    I wouldn't drive that thing on the streets, but I would take it on trails and mud bogging. That thing would just be for some off road fun! :)

    If you don't mind buying used, your local junk yard would have them pretty cheap; and you can pick them up on Ebay for 99 cents.
