So; I just went to take off the turbo since it's been making the death whine sound and was wondering if it is possible that it could make the sound if only 3 of the 4 nuts were holding the turbo onto the manifold? I mean; I don't want to take the damn turbo off and switch it with another one...

So since I blew my stock CT spiking it all the time to 22 lbs; I have purchased another stock good condition one. However, it seems the seller has fallen short on shipping it in a timely fashion. I'm sure it will get here, but most likely not by suprafest. I was wondering if anyone had a...

Alright... When I first start the car, all of the lights blink like crazy. After it is warmed up at idle it doesn't do it at idle, but once i get over 1,000 RPM's it starts up again, then stops between 2,000 and 2,500 RPM's on acceleration, but blinks on decel without hitting the breaks...

Ok.. So after it sold out a total of 7 theatres here for midnight showings and everyone and there mom being psyched to see it... I didn't think it was the best sequal ever... In fact, I have watched the first Pirates numerous times, probably more than 50. I don't see myself sitting down to...

Ok So I have a new FFIM and extended the harness to the TPS about 1 foot. I taped it all up really well, and soldered the connections. I did use bigger wire, I think it was like 14 guage? Anyways, when the TPS isn't plugged in the car revs fine; holds idle fine (about 900) and is very...

OK, so I'm not sure where I read or heard it but just in order to try and get my car running properly I put like 1 1/2 foot long hoses on my valve covers and then vented them down on the intake side. However, once the car is warm smoke blows from both of them, the intake and exhaust. Is this...

Ok.. I have been looking around at some people's IC setups, as I just got my FMIC in and fit the piping up from turbo to the FMIC and I measured the ground clearance from the front bumper(bottom) to the ground and its about 9 inches.. The measurement from the bottom of my IC piping at it's...

Ok, so I had a thread a couple weeks ago about my turbo going out, however after checking the compressor, it still spins freely and completely NO shaft play... But it is still making the god aweful noise... I don't have any boost leaks from IC piping, could this sound be a gasket on the intake...

I'm pretty sure I have come to the death whine; boosting at about 18 lbs for a year didn't cuase this; but the constant spikes to 24+ did(shitty mbc) I can honestly say that is what kills the stock turbo; probably 22 + is what really does it in as it's spinning way to fast for that little...

So finally my IC got shipped out; but I just read somewhere (like 10 minutes ago) that some guy couldn't get a 26" long ic to fit; and the IC i bought is 32x12x3... Is it going to fit at all; or am I going to have to cut a lot of shit? Bleh.. I thought I researched this enough before I...

I was wondering if there was a diagram of the three plugs which plug into the back of the ecu, and what every wire does, and the color of each? If not, I am just looking for a specific wire, the throttle position wire on an 87 turbo.... What color would it be, and where? Thanks, Disced

I have the SAFC II, 1st gen. I am pretty sure I hooked it up correctly, but I was reading that if you don't get a good solder, it could effect the voltage output to the safc. Anyways, my questions are: 1. The throttle % is always @ 0. It never goes up, no matter what I do in revving or...

Check out this post; I'm trying to set up a caravan down, pretty early for you guys if you want to make it to the dyno day on time... Post suggestions or whatever you think. http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?p=40256#post40256 Thanks, Disced

I would really like to get a caravan together for an early Friday morning drive; all though I do love the drive, it is nice to have company. I was thinking since the Dyno starts @ 10, we wouldn't want to be TOOO late. People say 6 hours if you drive the speed limit; so we can figure probably...

Does our car run 0-1v for closed throttle and 3-5v for open throttle? or Does our car run 3-5v for closed throttle and 0-1v for open throttle? OR Does the arrow point NE or SW.... Need info soon; I just came in while in the middle of wiring it up... haha -Disced

Alright; I remember there was a thread a while ago on SF about flat black cars.. Anyways, mine has been this way for about 9 months... which is almost the whole life of the car with me.. Original was Maroon paint, but was completely oxidized. Interior is maroon... Trying to find Tan...

As I know some, people don't venture into all sections; there was a thread in the technical section about CT upgrades. And since no one had responded I replied with what knowledge I have gained from countless hours researching the CT upgrades: 50 trim: Said to be most reliable all though I...

I posted on gay supraforums and not one person even read it.. so I will try here. I have found a pretty good deal for both turbos + manifold + downpipe and was wondering if you could do the same thing with the exhaust manifolds that we do with the intake manifolds? IE cut them/MIG weld...
