If my car isn't losing coolant, if it smokes ONLY under boost, and if it smells (not like coolant) could i be safe to say that it's my turbo going? it still boosts fine, it still sounds healthy and there is no oil on the impellers. I'm still pulling awesome vacuum 21 in/hg so i'm thinking my...

toyota can get you anything you want.

alright i bought some white side trim a while back. I'm trying to find some clips for them, but none of them fit. I need to know if the 89 clips are different from the 91-92?? I think i've tried 89 clips before, so before i order 91-92 clips i want to make sure they are different. Derek

my setup: 7mgte -stock turbo -10+ PSI -BIC DDP, BIC test pipe, tanabe cat-back -FMIC, 2.5" hardpipes -K&N FIPK now, last summer i went with the autolite coppers and had them gapped to .032". I pulled the plugs out just a while ago because i wanted to do a tune up before spring...

so basically this gasket will be as effective as the MHG, but also more leniant towards block and head smoothness??? so if i take my 3 year old, 40 000km engine and slap this gasket on i can run a lot more boost and not worry about a HG for a while?? If so, i'm game for sure.

they are about 2 hrs from me, and all the local people say they are awesome. I'm sending my turbo there to get it rebuilt and upgraded to a 57 trim.

my motor was rebuilt about 4 years ago and at the same time i had a toyota head gasket torqued down to 75 ft/lbs with ARP bolts. I probably put about 45 000 km since the rebuild and everything is fine. Well i'm upgrading to a 57 trim ct-26 with all the necessary fuel mods. I don't plan on...

about $20 000 CDN including the cost of the car. A huge chunk of that was for rust repair and paint so i'm not sure if that's considered a mod.

i've had this gas gauge for all of last summer and i want to fix it. I removed the panel and the needles to put in my speedhut gauges. So i put everything back in, set the gas needle to where it sat BEFORE taking the cluster apart, and put it all back together. I started the car and the...

IMO i think spending a little more money to make a robust engine will be pennies in terms of what you already spent on everything else in this car. Don't give up, don't give in...you're just one small hurdle away from having it running again. Think about it, your're SOOOOO close to having a...

fucking sign me up!!

i'm pretty sure that my CT is on its way out. On boost, it is one stinky bitch and i do see smoke. Last oil change, i didn't get the same amount of oil that i put in. So for sure i'm burning oil and i'm ONLY burning oil upon boost. The car is stored now, but if i go ahead and remove the...

it's definetly a puff because sometimes you have to wait for all the oil to burn off and then exit the exhaust. As for color it's hard to tell because i'm always driving the car. I should probably get a buddy to drive it and i'll trail behind to look.

car doesn't smoke on idle, normal driving, slight boost (before the wastegate opens and becomes noisy; BIC DDP). On HARD acceleration but not all the way to redline, the car just stinks bad. Probably because i yanked out the A/C and all the plumbing so there is a huge hole in the firewall...

you don't want canadian supras. We have rust.

holy hell!! i just did mine....BIC DDP, N/A cat, tanabe cat-back, no charcoal canister, FMIC, hardpipes, blitz DD BOV and i flew through the test. Only thing i was a bit high on was HC PPM which is unburnt fuel. Change your plugs, put in good gas, change your oil and make sure to run your...

i want a bolt in since i'm just going to bolt it in, run it for the e-test, then take it out in place of my test pipe. I want simple and clean and quick.

i need to know if a catalytic coverter from a NON-TURBO will fit my TURBO. Yes or no.. i was really surprised to find out that no company makes a replacement cat for our turbo'd model....only ones i can find are the highflow ones but i just need this cat to pass my last e-test EVER so no...

alright so i tightened my BOV screw a bit more. Now my car doesn't hit as much boost as quick as before. Before i could hit 12 PSI like nothing but no it just SLOWLY creeps up, if even creeps up to 12 PSI. I can confirm this on my DEFI gauges that allow me to record up to 3 mins of driving...

yea i'm hitting 12 PSI then fuel cut
