    ^ Um... that's the same thing were're talking about, the exact same thing... They rust after you've heated them up real good with your turbo.

    7mgte Rebuilt(The best forged pistons)

    :werd: This is a one time only Group Buy, after this the piston aren't being made (IIRC). They may consider running another batch later on, but a group buy the size of what this one currently is would have to be in order to get the ball rolling again.

    Cartech or Spearco Intercooler

    The people with fitment problems ordered the wrong IC piping kit for their intercooler. Like I said, the stock design of the IC in the Supra changed in either '88 or '89.

    Coolant coming out of overflow tank!

    Um, I a little lazy at the moment, so I won't read back through this, but have you had your radiator checked to make sure it's not clogged anywheres and creating hot spots?

    So it seems to fix its self?

    If it's cranking, but not starting, then it's not in the factory alarm. Once the factory alarm trips and you try to turn it over, it will do squat.

    Did you inspect the CPS when you took it out?

    garret turbo, but is it OK?

    Just looking at the front of it, it looks larger, but you need the actual specs on the turbo to know. Is there some type of model number or something stamped onto it??

    You've got a good deal on the Cooleeze DP, a regular one starts out around $300.00, bad part is, they are mild steel and will rust, I know, I've got one and so does my cousin ;). They are pretty thick though, I'll be shipping mine off in the future to get ceramic coated ::cough::jdub::cough::.

    Probe Forged Pistons: You want 'em? GB!

    Then a .40 over is in store, IF you have enough material to safely support it for your specific block. I'm no sure as to the bore of my engine, so I'm getting a .20 overbore, but then again, I'm not using this block or head, so I'll be looking for a virgin GTE block and a nice condition GE head ;).

    Head gasket

    NO, the cams, when torqued down, can make the head look like it's straighter than it actually is, when it's really not. There should be no outside forces warping the shaped of the head that it wants to go into on it's own (usually do to an overheat or two).

    Probe Forged Pistons: You want 'em? GB!

    Sorry John, you're going to have to knock me back down to one set. My cousin decided to finish off his 1972 Camaro Z28 instead of his BHG Supra :(.

    Trouble with boost over 1bar

    You need smaller injectors man. Try 580's or 680's. You also need to lower your rev limit until you instal some heavier duty valvetrain components or you will break something, or float the shit out of the stock valves.
