    What date did the 89 become the 89.5?

    Mine is 10/88 and is an '89. Grey plug harness, but the '87T wiring harness plugged right in, with the only issues being the ABS harness and the headlight idle-up wire.

    I just REALLY hope that I put the front main seal in the right way underneath it. :p

    What did you do to your supra today? Pics

    Picked up the pin. Yay. Timing belt installed. I want to get the lower timing cover powder coated before I install it. It at the very least needs to be cleaned up since it's disgusting and greasy.

    exhaust options

    Suprasport, I think. It was a number of years ago. Also bought with LIPP elbow, and RT downpipe. I think that the total was about $1100 for that order. Might have been some other odds and ends in it as well.

    Stock boost gauge not reading any pressure

    @grimreaper: I haven't taken those readings. I've just tried with the ignition on, but not started. It comes to about -100mmHg with atmospheric pressure in the manifold. Might be the gauge that's wrong, or it might be something electrical. I have other fish to fry when it comes to sorting this...

    exhaust options

    Not cheap, but I have the Tanabe hyper Medallion. I love it. Nice deep sound, but no drone.

    What did you do to your supra today? Pics

    Gave up (for now) on finding used parts needed to assemble my engine. 1 pin for the timing gear on the exhaust cam (5mmX13mm) bought at dealer (Special order, go figure) for $3.91 2X fuel rail standoffs (Will salvage from '89.) Tomorrow, the pin is supposed to be in, so the plan is to get the...

    Stock boost gauge not reading any pressure

    Wish I had access to your PCB setup... Or did you send it out to one of those places that does it for a fee per square inch? (The best I have is photoresist PCBS, a UV lamp and a big jug of etch solution.)

    Cool tip I found for short shift mod

    Oldschool SOGI mod. It's not really a quick shifter. I've been in cars that have this mod, and didn't really like it that much. I might think differently if the shifter were threaded and could use the stock (or TRD) knob, since the most objectionable thing that I found was the I just didn't...

    Stock boost gauge not reading any pressure

    Okay, so if I'm reading this document correctly... The stock boost sensor is essentially a 2 bar sensor, with the zero point at almost 1/2 bar, therefore it's capability is to read between 1/2 and 2.25 bar absolute. Its resolution doesn't go all the way to zero, so it doesn't really work as a...

    Road racing on the track w/o a thermostat

    Heh. i imagine that it looks like a lot of different pumps, since it's a very efficient design. :D I look at it and think "Turbocharge your cooling system, too!"

    Stock boost gauge not reading any pressure

    Heh. Thanks to this thread, I just checked my own factory boost gauge. It reads about -1 (x100mmHg) when I turn on the ignition before it starts up. I've never seen it read at the top of the meter. It used to top out at about +2 (x100mmHg) but has been going to about +3 (x100mmHg) since I...

    LED Dome Lights

    I was more or less curious if the dimmer function actually worked, or if it just hit a threshhold and shut off. I've done enough LED circuits to do PWM stuff, though I've never done it from something like the integration relay. Another method that works is current control. If you restrict...

    How does the dimmer function work with LEDs?

    Hg thickness how thick

    Well, you've got .762mm shaved, so stock (1.2mm) + shaved (0.762mm) means 2.0mm would give you (about) stock compression. I'd opine that 1.8-2.0 would be in the acceptable range.

    code 11 car wont go past 3000 rpm

    Personally, I like to diagnose first, so that I'm not swapping out perfectly good parts.

    Wanted: pic of 89 steering wheel electrical connection

    Give me a call, and drop by, I've got the wheel apart in the '89, so you can take a good look.
